Increase in Leverage Driven by International Financial Reporting Standards Adoption
Authors: Tristão Pâmela Amado , Sonza Igor Bernardi
Published: April 2021

ABSTRACT Context: adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in Brazil has improved corporate governance practices and information available to investors, providing greater transparency. Despite its mandatory effect, companies listed in B3 tiers (Novo Mercado and Level 2) were already accustomed to using it, allowing a comparison with firms affected by the law. Objective: analyze the influence of IFRS adoption on the capital structure of publicly traded Brazilian companies by comparing firms that only began to adhere to it by the new law (Regular and Level 1) with firms that adopted IFRS before it went into effect (Novo Mercado and Level 2). Method: we performed a quasi-experimental design via difference-in-difference (DID) estimator to compare leverage levels of firms segmented in treatment and control groups before and after IFRS. Conclusions: we found that the treatment group companies had higher market leverage after IFRS adoption, influenced by the greater information disclosure and, consequently, reduction of investors’ perception of risk. In addition, the differences between groups in DID analysis were influenced by the greater effect on market leverage for treated companies and on net indebtedness for the control ones. Furthermore, we confirmed the pecking order theory assumptions for most of the covariates.

ABSTRACT Lisianthus is an important ornamental species, whose cultivation in pot still requires studies, mainly regarding the use of alternative management. Thus, the aim of this work was to evaluate the influence of resistance elicitors on the production and post-production quality of potted lisianthus. Plants grown in pots were treated with two elicitors: (E1) phosphorylated mannano-oligosaccharide and (E2) citric bioflavonoids and phytoalexins, in the doses (D) of 1 and 2pL.L-1 (E1D1 1pL.L-1, E1D2 2pL.L-1, E2D1 1pL.L-1, E2D2 2pL.L-1 and control), with 5 replications, in a completely randomized design. After opening the first flower buds, the plants remained in the greenhouse for 15 days, until they reached at least 3 open flowers, when were transferred to the room conditions (24 ± 2 oC and 72 ± 2%) for another 15 days. The application of elicitors did not influence the culture cycle or the size of the stem. There was an increase, however, in the number of viable buds and open flowers, in addition to an increase in flower’s useful life paralleled to the reduction of senescent flowers, in relation to the control. The dose of 2pL.L-1 of the E2 kept the percentage of viable open flowers in relation to the control for at least another 5 days, reducing the percentage of senescent flowers. Together, with the application of the E2 elicitor in potted lisianthus, the viability of the flowers can be prolonged, maintaining quality and delaying senescence, and, in this way, increasing the market period.

Published: April 2021

ABSTRACT Sugarcane is considered as one of the prominent agricultural crops in Brazil, with Goiás being the second largest national producer. During the processing of sugarcane, waste is generated, and one of these is vinasse. The objective of this study was to evaluate the biometric and technological performances of two varieties of sugarcane for different depths and vinasse parceling. Experiments were conducted at Fazenda Boa Sorte, located in the municipality of Carmo do Rio Verde-GO. A randomized block design was used with a subdivided plot containing two varieties of sugarcane (RB 86-7515 and SP 80-1816) and each subplot having three management types for the application of vinasse (M1 20-20 mm, M2 40-0 mm, and M3 30-30 mm) and four repetitions. The applications were performed in the months of May and June (dry period). The variables analyzed were the plant height, number of photosynthetically active green leaves, stem diameter, leaf area, stalk productivity, soluble solids content, broth pol, apparent sucrose content, fiber content, total reducing sugars, and reducing sugars. Analysis of variance was performed on the results obtained using the F test; subsequently, for the significant data, the test of means was performed. The SP 80-1816 variety showed superiority for both the biometric and technological variables. The ethanol yield and total recoverable sugar content were higher for the SP 80-1816 variety, with no difference between the vinasse application management. The vinasse application installment did not show viability.
MODEL TO ESTIMATE NUTRITIONAL AND NON-NUTRITIONAL LIMITATIONS OF ‘PRATA-ANÃ’ BANANA CROPS GROWN IN DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS

Published: April 2021

ABSTRACT The obtaining of a high banana yield requires that nutrients are in adequate quantities and proportions in the plant. Therefore, the use of methods that encompass nutritional balance and equilibrium is required for a good nutritional evaluation. The objective of this work was to model and determine nutritional and non-nutritional limitations of 'Prata-Anã' banana grown in the states of Ceará (CE) and Bahia (BA), Brazil, based on nutritional balance and equilibrium. The study was developed using the databank of leaf nutrient contents and banana yields of two farms of the Sítio Barreiras company, in Missão Velha (CE) and Ponto Novo (BA), Brazil. The parcels with banana yield above the average plus 0.5 standard deviation; and parcels with banana yield below of that limit were defined as low-yield areas and were used for nutritional diagnosis. The databank was divided into four: the first with 253 samples and a reference population with banana yield above 39.81 Mg ha-1 year-1; the second with 553 samples and a low-yield population (Ceará); the third with 147 samples and a reference population with banana yield above 41.69 Mg ha-1 year-1; and the fourth with 334 samples and a low-yield population (Bahia). Yield limitations in the 'Prata-Anã' banana crops due to nutritional causes reached 13.37% in Ceará, and 12.17% in Bahia. Non-nutritional factors, such as climate and biotic factors, limited the banana crop yields by up to 28.23% in Ceará, and 50.49% in Bahia.

Published: April 2021

ABSTRACT The soils of the Semiarid region of Brazil lack studies regarding sorption processes and availability of phosphorus (P). Therefore, the objective of this work was to quantify the sorption of P in ten soils representative of the Semiarid region of Brazil and correlate them with the soil phosphorus storage capacity. The P concentrations in the equilibrium solutions used to model the sorption isotherms were: 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 55, 70, and 80 mg L-1 for the soils Typic Quartzipsamment (Neossolo Quartzarenico), Typic Hapludox (Latossolo Vermelho Amarelo), Typic Hapludult (Argissolo Vermelho Amarelo), Typic Quartzipsamment (Neossolo Flúvico), and Typic Dystrudept (Cambissolo Haplico); and 0, 10, 15, 25, 40, 55, 80, 100, 130, and 150 mg L-1 for the soils Typic Calciudolls (Chernossolo Rendzico), Typic Dystrudept (Cambissolo Haplico), Typic Dystrudept (Cambissolo Haplico), Typic Hapludult (Argissolo Vermelho Amarelo), and Typic Hapludert (Vertissolo Haplico). The Langmuir and Freundlich sorption isotherms were fitted to non-linear regression models and the values of the model parameters were estimated. The sorption isotherms were adequate to quantify the sorption of P in the soils of the Semiarid region of Brazil, with maximum P sorption capacity varying from 50.4 mg kg-1 to 883.5 mg kg-1. The sorption of P was higher in soils with more clayey textures, alkaline, and rich in iron and calcium, denoting the importance of evaluating the effect of these characteristics on the sorption of P in these soils.

ABSTRACT Mangaba (Hancornia speciosa Gomes) is a fruit species native to Brazil, belonging to the Apocynaceae family. Its cultivation is predominantly extractivist and its antioxidant properties have been recently reported. The objective of this study was to evaluate the bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity in fruits of accession from the Active Germplasm Bank of Embrapa Coastal Tablelands (BI, CA, LG, PR, PT and TC). The extracts were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), which identified chlorogenic acid (93.71 - 131.66 mg.100g-1), ferulic acid (0.85 - 2.27 mg.100g-1) and rutin (238.59 -442.94 mg.100g-1). The accessions CA and PR showed the highest values of total phenols (1179.39 and 1167.05 mg GAE.100g-1, respectively). The accessions CA and TC had the highest concentration of the major compound rutin (436.78 and 442.94 mg.100g-1, respectively). Antioxidant activity values ranged from 125.95 to 158.67 g.g-1 DPPH. Principal component analysis grouped the accessions into four groups, due to the genetic variability verified in previous studies. The results will be useful to guide actions of selection and future breeding program of the species.

Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo apresentar as percepções e reflexões que emergiram dos alunos participantes da disciplina “Medicina e narrativas”. O corpus desta pesquisa foi constituído pelos portfólios destes 21 educandos e, para sua análise, utilizou-se o software Interface de R pour les Analyses Multidimensionnelles de Textes et de Questionnaires, IRaMuTeQ®. Emergiram dois subcorpora: “Refletindo sobre possibilidades e barreiras na relação médico-paciente” e “Ferramentas para a humanização”. Pode-se inferir que os educandos representam a profissão médica com componentes relacionais importantes, associando a competência técnica a um olhar diferenciado sobre o outro, apesar de diferenças entre os sexos e semestres cursados por esses graduandos terem surgido. As habilidades comunicacionais e a empatia foram valorizadas pelo grupo, porém, esta última é descrita como sendo algo que se perdeu. Pode-se depreender que a disciplina propiciou reflexões importantes para estes educandos.

Published: April 2021

A atenção à Saúde Mental (SM) na Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) é complexa e demanda integração das ações entre diversos níveis de atenção para maior efetividade. Buscou-se compreender como profissionais da APS de 11 municípios de Minas Gerais que possuíam Núcleo de Atenção à Saúde da Família (Nasf) lidavam com demandas de SM. Trata-se de estudo qualitativo, conduzido por meio de grupos focais que contaram com 134 profissionais de saúde. Os profissionais não possuíam instrumentos ou estratégias para quantificar e organizar a demanda em SM; as ações de capacitação em SM eram insuficientes; relataram dificuldades na implementação das propostas do Nasf; e identificam problemas na organização e articulação da Rede de Atenção Psicossocial (Raps) que prejudicavam a continuidade do cuidado em SM. Apesar das fragilidades apresentadas, existem reflexões em direção às mudanças da lógica tradicional biomédica em cuidados em saúde.

Published: April 2021

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the companion's role during the labor and delivery processes, comparing the influence of the use of an educational technology. Method: A single-blind randomized controlled study, in which 73 participants were divided into two groups, 35 in the intervention group and 38 in the comparison group. To analyze the groups the chi-square and the Fisher's exact tests were used in categorical variables and the Student's t-test or the Mann-Whitney test in continuous variables. Results: When comparing the experience and the support provided, it was found that there was no difference between the groups in relation to the level of support (p=0.48) and satisfaction with the experience of monitoring the delivery process (p=0.19). However, there was a difference regarding insecurity in monitoring (p=0.00) and concern regarding the parturient health status (p=0.00). Conclusion: The companions who received the intervention with educational technology were more likely to use physical, emotional and intermediation support actions.

ABSTRACT Objective: To identify the prevalence of pain in puerperal women, describe the characteristics of pain and its impacts on the performance of daily life activities, and evaluate satisfaction with received analgesia. Method: Cross-sectional study which included women who had given birth. These were evaluated within 72 hours postpartum in a public teaching hospital in São Paulo city. Obstetric and clinical data were evaluated, as well as presence and characteristics of pain and its impact on daily activities. Results: A total 128 women participated in this study. The prevalence of pain was 36.7% during the interview and 54.6% in the previous 24 hours. The main pain site was the abdominal region (64.7%) and pain intensity was moderate to 48.9% of women, with intermittent frequency in 58% of the cases. There was a significant association between presence of pain and type of delivery (cesarean; p=0.030). Not being able to provide care to the newborn, requiring going to a different unit, increased pain perception (p=0.038). A significant impact of pain on the capacity of walking, eating, sleeping, taking care of the baby, evacuating, breathing deeply, breastfeeding, and sitting was verified. Conclusion: Pain was frequent during the postpartum period and significantly affected the mothers’ activities, indicating a need for improving pain management in puerperium.

Published: April 2021

ABSTRACT Objective: To determine the effectiveness of a nursing intervention for delirium prevention in critically ill patients. Method: A quasi-experimental study was conducted with a non-equivalent control group and with evaluation before and after the intervention. 157 Patients were part of the intervention group and 134 of the control group. Patients were followed-up until they were discharged from the ICU or died. The incidence of delirium in both groups was compared. Additionally, the effect measures were adjusted for the propensity score. Results: The incidence and incidence rate of delirium in the control group were 20.1% and 33.1 per 1000 person-days (CI 95% 22.7 to 48.3) and in the intervention group was 0.6% and 0.64 per 1000 person-days (CI 95% 0.22 to 11.09), respectively. The crude Hazard Ratio was 0.06 (CI 95% 0,008 to 0,45) and adjusted 0.07 (CI 95% 0,009 to 0,60). The number needed to be treated was six. Conclusion: Low incidence of delirium in critically ill patients intervened demonstrated the effectiveness of interventions. The average intervention time was 4 days with a 15-minutes dedication for each patient.
Blood, Land and Power: The Rise and Fall of the Spanish Nobility and Lineages in the Early Modern Period
Authors: Perez-Garcia Manuel
Published: April 2021

The analysis of land management, lineage and family through the case study of early modern Spanish nobility from sixteenth to early nineteenth century is a major issue in recent historiography. It aims to shed light on how upper social classes arranged strategies to maintain their political and economic status. Rivalry and disputes between old factions and families were attached to the control and exercise of power. Blood, land management and honour were the main elements in these disputes. Honour, service to the Crown, participation in the conquest and ‘pure’ blood (Catholic affiliation) were the main features of Spanish nobility. This book analyses the origins of the entailed-estate (mayorazgo) from medieval times to early modern period, as the main element that enables us to understand the socio-economic behaviour of these families over generations. This longue durée chronology within the Braudelian methodology of the research aims to show how strategies and family networks changed over time, demonstrating a micro-history study of daily life.
Oil, Equities, and a "Nonbinding" Zero Lower Bound: The Monetary Policy Response to COVID-19

Published: April 2021

We analyze the recent behavior of oil and equity prices in the context of our earlier work, Datta, et al. (2021), which focuses on the previous zero lower bound (ZLB) episode, in the aftermath of the Global Financial Crisis. We find that the correlation between oil and equity returns and the responsiveness of these returns to macroeconomic surprises are perhaps elevated relative to normal times but somewhat moderated relative to the previous ZLB episode.

Social Networks and Systems Theory
Authors: Calise Santiago Gabriel
Published: April 2021

This paper provides a critical assessment of the conceptions of social networks in systems theory. There are two main solutions to the problem: treating networks as systems, or denying them that status. The last group conceives networks as structural couplings (Kämper and Schmidt) or as forms (Fuhse). Among the first group, Luhmann has used the concept to describe the particularities of the societal structure of underdeveloped regions, but he did not delve into a theoretical characterization of the concept. Teubner’s version also remained associated with a particular episode, providing no general network theory. Bommes and Tacke establish reciprocity as the central mechanism, which relates different addresses (persons or organizations) through a non-specific future promise of a service in return for a favor. The analysis shows that this account provides the most complete version of the concept, remaining fully compatible with systems theory.

COVID-19 ve Diabetes Mellitus Yönetimi
Authors: KORKMAZ Hakan
Published: April 2021

Diyabetik hastalarda SARS-CoV-2 enfeksiyonu daha şiddetli seyretmekte, hastalığa bağlı yoğun bakım ihtiyaçları ve mortalite daha sık görülmektedir. Anjiyotensin dönüştürücü enzim-2 (ACE2), SARS-CoV-2'nin ana reseptörüdür. Diyabetli hastaların akciğerlerinde ACE2 ifadesinin artması ve hiperglisemi ile bu reseptörlerin glikozillenmesi onları COVID-19'a daha duyarlı hale getirir. Bununla birlikte akut veya kronik hiperglisemi doğal ve edinsel bağışıklık fonksiyonunu bozarak diyabetli hastalarda COVID-19 enfeksiyonunun ciddiyetine katkıda bulunur. SARS-CoV-2 yeni diyabet olguların gelişmesine neden olabileceği ve tip 1 diyabet sıklığında artışa yol açacağı da düşünülmektedir. Diyabetik hastalarda COVID-19 prognozunu iyileştirmede glisemik kontrolün sağlanması önemlidir. Glisemik regülasyonun sağlanması ile mortalite oranlarında önemli azalmalar sağlamaktadır. Solunum sıkıntısı olan ciddi hastalar ve kritik COVID-19 olgularında insülin tedavisi tercih edilmelidir. Hafif semptomatik veya asemptomatik bireylerde glisemik kontrol sağlanmışsa mevcut tedavisine devam edilir. Bu hastalarda oral antidiyabetik tedavilerin kesilmesine gerek yoktur. Glisemik kontrol sağlanamamışsa güncel diyabet tedavi klavuzlarına göre tedavileri yoğunlaştırılır. COVID-19 tedavisinde kullanılan deksametazon ve remdesivir tedavilerinin glisemik kontrolü bozabileceği öngörülerek antidiyabetik tedavi revizyonu yapılmalıdır. Diyabetli COVID-19 olgularında kan şekeri hedeflerini 140-180 mg/dl arasında tutmalı, hipoglisemi riski olmayanlarda alt sınır 110 mg/dl’ye düşürülebilir.
From Ore to Metal:Exploitation of the Novotemirsky Mine, Southern Trans-Urals, in the Second Millennium BC

Published: April 2021

The Novotemirsky mine was the first in the Southeastern Urals to have large areas of the site uncovered. This has yielded new information on the technologies practiced by the first metallurgists in the region and on the evolution of these practices in the second millennium BC. Cultural layers revealed evidence of all stages of Bronze Age metal production. Mining is documented by pits of various forms and adjoining waste dumps. This is the first time that shaft mining has been discovered in the Bronze Age of the Southern Trans-Urals. Metal smelting is evidenced by a copper- smelting furnace with slag. Metal tools were cast in bivalve molds, of which one, made of chloritolite, was used for casting pickaxes. Results of radiocarbon AMS dating indicate three stages of mine exploitation in the Bronze Age, correlating with the chronological sequence of regional cultures. The furnace was built during the Sintashta period (2100–1900 BC). The shaft mine and the adjacent dumps date to the Alakul period (1700–1500 BC). Features dating to the Final Bronze Age (1500–1200 BC) have yet to be identified. It has been demonstrated that the same mines were exploited by people associated with various archaeological cultures in the second millennium BC, implying that a metallurgical center functioned in the Trans-Urals over the entire Late Bronze Age. Given that indicators of metallurgy are quite rare at unfortified sites, and that the technology changed, it can be assumed that smelting and casting became more specialized during the Alakul period: certain operations were performed at mines and/or nearby settlements.
On a Distinctive Featureof the Andronovo (Fedorovka) Funerary Rites in the Baraba Forest-Steppe
Authors: Molodin V. I. , Nesterova M. S. , Kobeleva L. S.
Published: April 2021

This article summarizes the findings relating to a spatially localized group of graves at the Andronovo (Fedorovka) cemetery Tartas-1 in the Baraba forest-steppe. Several rows of graves combine with ash pits suggestive of ritual activity. In the infill of graves, there were ash lenses with mammal and fish bones, and potsherds with traces showing the signs of applied heat. Ash had been taken from nearby ash pits with similar infill and artifacts. Faunal remains from graves and ash pits (limb bones of cattle, sheep/goat, and horse) indicate sacrificial offerings. In the ash layer of grave No. 282, there was an incomplete human burial, also believed to be a sacrifice. Features such as the orientation of the graves, their alignment, the position of human remains, and the grave goods in that area are similar to the Andronovo (Fedorovka) burial practice and do not differ from those in other parts of the cemetery. No complete parallels to this rite have been revealed. Some similarities, such as the use of ash, and the presence of animal bones, sacrificial pits, etc. at other sites are listed. A reconstruction of the funerary sequence and possible interpretations are considered. It is concluded that those graves were left by a group of Andronovo migrants who maintained close ties with the native population. Unusual features of the burial rite, therefore, can reflect an attempt to consolidate the immigrant groups on the basis of traditional ritual practices, where the major role was played by fire and its symbols.
Cattle in Buryat Mythology and Ritual
Authors: Badmaev A. A.
Published: April 2021

This study addresses, on the basis of ethnographic, folkloric, linguistic, and field data, the role of cattle in Buryat myths and rites, with reference to their economic significance. Buryat words relating to the exteriors of animals, sex differences, etc. are listed. The bull image features in traditional Buryat systems of time calculation and in the tradition of giving protective names homonymical to words denoting the bull are described. Mythological beliefs concerning the cattle are analyzed. The Bulagats, a major Buryat subgroup, practiced the tribal cult of Bukha-noyon, to whom the bull alluded. This practice was connected with the idea of shape-shifting, whereby the bull symbolized the male principle. In terms of cosmogony, the bull was part of habitation spheres such as sky, earth, and water, and their elements such as celestial bodies and mountains, and fire. The positive attitude to the bull and the cow was mirrored by views regarding supernatural properties of bull hair and urine, cow’s milk and placenta, and devices used for managing draft bulls (the yoke and the hair rope zele). At the same time, the cattle were associated with the Lower World and its inhabitants; they functioned as mediators and could symbolize death. A detailed description of the bull image in traditional Buryat ritualism is provided.

Responding to Media Inquiries about Earthquake Triggering Interactions
Authors: Fan Fang , Ye Lingling , Kanamori Hiroo , Lay Thorne
Published: April 2021

In the aftermath of a significant earthquake, seismologists are frequently asked questions by the media and public regarding possible interactions with recent prior events, including events at great distances away, along with prospects of larger events yet to come, both locally and remotely. For regions with substantial earthquake catalogs that provide information on the regional Gutenberg–Richter magnitude–frequency relationship, Omori temporal aftershock statistical behavior, and aftershock productivity parameters, probabilistic responses can be provided for likelihood of nearby future events of larger magnitude, as well as expected behavior of the overall aftershock sequence. However, such procedures generally involve uncertain extrapolations of parameterized equations to infrequent large events and do not provide answers to inquiries about long-range interactions, either retrospectively for interaction with prior remote large events or prospectively for interaction with future remote large events. Dynamic triggering that may be involved in such long-range interactions occurs, often with significant temporal delay, but is not well understood, making it difficult to respond to related inquiries. One approach to addressing such inquiries is to provide retrospective or prospective occurrence histories for large earthquakes based on global catalogs; while not providing quantitative understanding of any physical interaction, experience-based guidance on the (typically very low) chances of causal interactions can inform public understanding of likelihood of specific scenarios they are commonly very interested in.
Toplumsal Belleğin Oluşmasında Medyanın Rolü Üzerine Bir İnceleme: 32. Gün Belgeselleri Örneği
Authors: BAKAR Hakan , BUDAK Emrah
Published: April 2021

Toplumlar, geçmişten günümüze kadar ekonomik, siyasi, dini, kültürel ve toplumsal alanda çeşitli gelişmeler yaşamıştır. İnsanlığın ilk dönemlerinden içinde bulunduğumuz çağa kadar olağanüstü değişim ve dönüşümlerin yaşandığı su götürmez bir gerçektir. Yaşanan bu değişim ve dönüşümler, bireyleri etkilemekte ve bireylerin toplumsal hafızalarının oluşmasına katkıda bulunmaktadır. İçinde yaşanılan çağın ruhuna uygun olarak bireyler ve toplumlar, her türlü olay ve olguya ortak veya farklı tepkiler vermekte; gerektiğinde toplumsal dönüşümün sağlanması adına eylemlerde bulunmaktadır. Bu anlamda, toplumları etkileyen ve onların zihinlerinde yer eden olayların birikmesi ile toplumsal bellek oluşmaktadır. Toplumsal belleğin oluşmasında ve sosyal gruplara aktarılması sürecinde ise medya önemli bir araç konumundadır. İletişim teknolojilerinde yaşanan gelişmeler ile 1970’li yıllardan itibaren televizyon, 2000’li yıllardan itibaren ise dijital teknolojiler, toplumsal belleğin konsolide edilmesi ve nesilden nesle aktarılmasında önemli rol oynamıştır. Toplumsal belleğin oluşmasında medyanın rolüne odaklanılan bu çalışmada; Türkiye’nin demokrasi yolculuğunu ve toplumsal gelişmelerini dönemler halinde işleyen 32. Gün Belgeselleri, toplumsal bellek ekseninde içerik analizi yöntemiyle incelemeye tabi tutulmuştur. Çalışma neticesinde, 32. Gün Belgeselleri’nin dönemin politikacıları, gazetecileri ve askeri yetkilileri aracılığı ile ürettiği içeriklerle yakın tarihe ışık tuttuğu ve geçmiş dönemlere ait tarihsel olayları aktarırken toplumsal belleğin oluşmasına katkı sağladığı gözlemlenmiştir.
Seçmen Kararlarında Duyguların Rolü ve İşlevi: Duygusal İçerikli Reklamlar Üzerine Bir Analiz
Authors: AKDAĞ Mustafa , ÖZDEMİR Merve
Published: April 2021

Demokrasinin egemen olduğu birçok ülkede seçim uygulaması büyük bir rol oynamaktadır. İktidara gelmeyi hedefleyen her parti, seçim uygulamalarında seçmeni etkileyecek iletişim stratejileri geliştirmektedir. Geçmişten bu yana seçmen davranışını anlamaya çalışanlar, seçmenin rasyonel tercihler doğrultusunda karar verme ve seçme işlemini gerçekleştirdiğini belirtse de son dönemde insan davranışını anlamaya çalışan birçok çalışma davranışların sadece mantıksal düzlemde ele alınamayacağını, duygusal faktörlerin de derinlemesine araştırılması gerektiğini ortaya çıkarmaktadır. 1950’li yıllardan itibaren yapılan birçok araştırma seçmenin politik kararlarında tamamen mantıksal çıkarımlarda bulunmadığını ve duygusal olarak etkilenme güdüsünün çok daha yüksek olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Bu doğrultuda davranış örüntüsü geliştiren seçmen, seçim kampanyalarında bilinçli ya da bilinçsiz olarak duygusal iletişim stratejilerinden etkilenebilmektedir. Buradan hareketle çalışmada, duygu kavramına literatürde geniş bir yer verilerek seçmen davranışlarını açıklamada duyguların oynadığı rol ve işlevler detaylı bir şekilde açıklanacaktır. Özellikle siyasal iletişim boyutunda AK Parti ve CHP’nin Yerel ve Genel Milletvekili Seçimleri ile Cumhurbaşkanlığı Seçim reklamları duygu faktörünün nasıl kodlandığı ve uygulandığı açısından nitel araştırma yöntemi ile analiz edilecektir. Bu bağlamda her iki partinin iki farklı reklamı nitel analiz yöntemi içerisinde bulunan içerik analizi ve betimsel analiz yöntemi ile incelenecektir. Betimsel analiz yöntemi, çalışmadaki verilerin sınıflandırılması, özetlenmesi ve sonuçlara ulaşılmasını sağlarken, içerik analizi yöntemi ise reklamların karakterize edilmesi, sınıflandırılması ve yorumlanması amacıyla kullanılacaktır. Bu sonuçlara göre siyaset, iletişim ve duygu kavramları arasındaki ilişki ortaya çıkarılacak, seçmenin duygusal etkilere açık oluşu literatür çerçevesinde değerlendirilecektir.
Effect of jerusalem artichoke extract on the functioning of malate dehydrogenase in the liver of rats with alloxan diabetes
Authors: Eprintsev A.T. , Selivanova N.V. , Moiseenko A.V.
Published: April 2021

An increase in the activity and the appearance of a new isoform of NAD-dependent malate dehydrogenase (MDH; EC 1.1.1.37) has been detected in the liver of rats with alloxan diabetes was revealed. This confirms the possibility of MDH involvement in the adaptive reaction of the body under oxidative tress caused by biochemical changes in diabetic animals. The increase in the hepatic MDH activity in rats with experimental type I diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is associated with the formation of an additional MDH isoform in peroxisomes. Data on the expression of the MDH encoding genes mdh1 and mdh2 confirm that in T1DM the increase in MDH activity occurs at the level of transcription of MDH encoding genes. The use of the extract of Helianthus tuberosus led to a marked decrease in the blood glucose concentration of rats with alloxan diabetes, abolished by the change in transcriptional activity of the studied genes and blocked the formation of new MDH isoforms in rats with experimental alloxan diabetes. This suggest that extract of H. tuberosus may be of considerable interest from the point of view of pharmacological correction of metabolic changes during the development of pathologies of this kind.

Analysis of COVID-19 Impact on Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) Credit Distribution in East Java Banks
Authors: Nufus Evita Hayatun , Zuhroh Idah , Suliswanto Muhammad Sri Wahyudi
Published: April 2021

Research aims: The purpose of this study was to determine the credit distribution level used as working capital assistance for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) during the COVID-19 pandemic.Design/Methodology/Approach: This study used a sample of 8 cities/regencies in East Java. Meanwhile, the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) credit recipients were the population of the sample areas. This research's analysis model was panel data regression (generalized least square) by considering the emergence of heteroscedasticity in cross-section data between regional objects. The control variables outside the COVID-19 were the BI rate, third-party funds (TPF), and inflation.Research findings: This study’s results showed that the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant negative impact only on medium-sized business loans, while micro and small business loans are more resilient. Besides, Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) credit was significantly positively influenced by TPF; inflation did not affect credit; the BI rate only negatively affected medium-sized business credit.Theoretical contribution/Originality: Studies on Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) credit-related to economic phenomena and monetary policy have been widely carried out. However, the catastrophic virus that causes long-term economic uncertainty and impacts banks and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) still requires in-depth study. Also, this study employed the GLS model that considers heteroscedasticity, which is still rarely used in previous studies.Practitioner/Policy implication: This research can be essential information for the Indonesian Financial Services Authority (Otoritas Jasa Keuangan or OJK) and Bank Indonesia (BI) in policymaking, both regulatory aspects and bank liquidity provision, in stimulating Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) credit, especially in the COVID-19 pandemic era.Research limitation/implication: The impact of COVID-19 on Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) loans is still classified based on micro, small and medium. It is still not grouped based on the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) business sector in various cities and regencies in East Java. The analysis has not been clustered based on the spatial concentration of the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) recipient areas.

Published: April 2021

Background: Lower limb ulcer is a common disease among the Indian population with a prevalence of approximately 1% to 2% which is slightly higher in the older population. There are various modalities of treatment with the main aim being early wound healing. This study is done to compare the results of negative pressure dressing and conventional dressing in lower limb ulcers.Methods: This study, done at the Department of Surgery, G. K. General Hospital and Gujarat Adani Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhuj, from October 2017 to September 2018 is a prospective study. A total of 120 patients were randomly divided in two group comprising of 60 patients each. The patients in Group A were treated with negative pressure dressing while those in Group B were treated with conventional dressing. The patients were assessed, in both test and control groups, with parameters like appearance of granulation tissue, bacterial clearance and wound healing.Results: 80% of the patients belonged to the age group of 41-60 years while others were less than 40 years. We observed that in Group A majority of the patients had wound healing in 11-40 days while in Group B majority patients took 31-60 days for their wounds to be healed.Conclusions: We conclude that negative pressure dressing is more efficient as compared to conventional dressing for healing of lower limb ulcers, enabling a shorter hospital stay and early resumption of daily activities to the patient.
Abnormal expression of FAK and paxillin correlates with oral cancer invasion and metastasis
Authors: Song Ming , Hu Jiang , Quan Hai-Ying
Published: April 2021

Globally, the tenth most common cancer is the oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and the treatment strategy for improving of OSCC patients survival rate still remains a challenging one. Aberrant regulation of cell to extracellular matrix protein interactions leads to progression of human cancers. The focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and its downstream target paxillin have been implicated in cancer growth, migration, invasion and metastasis of different cancers. However, the clinical significance of FAK and paxillin in OSCC is not well characterized so far. In the present work, we showed that relative mRNA and protein expressions of FAK and paxillin are significantly higher in side population (SP) cells of OSCC cell line SCC-55. Concomitantly, the matrix metalloproteinase-11 (MMP-11) level is also significantly elevated in SP cells. The enhanced expression of paxillin is strongly correlated with increased chemoresistance, proliferation rate, migration and invasion potential of SP cells. In addition, inhibition of paxillin expression by RNAi makes SP cells more sensitive to chemotherapy drugs. Therefore, our results suggest that paxillin over expression might play a significant role in cancer progression, invasion and chemoresistance of OSCC.
