Authors: Favretto Jacir , Ronconi Gabriel
Published: November 2019

Devido às constantes e atuais mudanças das Tecnologias da Informação, o processo de tomada de decisão recebe informações em uma quantidade jamais visto. Mas nem todas as informações são consideradas no processo de tomada de decisão, seja pela qualidade da informação ou pela postura do gestor. O estudo, que tem sua abordagem de pesquisa qualitativa, com análise de conteúdo, identificou, com base em nove pequenas empresas do município de Xanxerê, como ocorre o processo de tomada de decisão com base nos sistemas de informações das empresas. Fica evidente que os empresários pesquisados ainda utilizar quase que na maioria, o conhecimento oriundo da experiência de mercado, que na maioria das vezes não tem base nas informações dos sistemas, mas no conhecimento do mercado pela experiência e vivência. Esse conhecimento e experiência pode ser usado, porém, é necessário e fundamental que tenha base em estudos científicos e em relatórios que comprovem números e indicadores, para que a decisão não seja frágil e sem sustentação. O estudo, inicial, trouxe questionamentos importantes, que surgem como possibilidade de estudos futuros em uma região de abrangência maior, se possível.

O objetivo deste artigo consiste em analisar a evidenciação dos ativos intangíveis nos relatórios financeiros divulgados pelas companhias do setor de calçados listados na BMFBOVESPA, a fim de identificar a aderência às normas nacionais que tratam da divulgação desses ativos. A pesquisa constitui um estudo de caso com delineamento bibliográfico e documental, sendo analisados os relatórios financeiros e as respectivas notas explicativas do exercício social de 2016 das companhias: Alpargatas S.A., Cambuci S.A., Grendene S.A. e Vulcabras S.A., com base no Pronunciamento Técnico CPC 04. Para fins de análise, foi utilizado um checklist baseado nos itens 118 a 128 do CPC 04 que tratam especificamente da divulgação dos ativos intangíveis, visando determinar o atendimento ou não destes itens pelas companhias. Os resultados apontaram que os relatórios financeiros analisados atenderam, em sua maioria, às normas de divulgação vigentes, como já esperado. Apurou-se que a aderência das companhias às recomendações do CPC 04 resultou no aumento do nível de transparência e qualidade de suas demonstrações contábeis. Pode-se concluir também que o nível de evidenciação está bem significativo, levando-se em consideração que a ausência de divulgação não significa necessariamente o não atendimento da norma.

The Epidemiology of Sport-Related Concussion: What the Rehabilitation Clinician Needs to Know
Authors: Gardner Andrew J. , Quarrie Kenneth L. , Iverson Grant L.
Published: November 2019

Synopsis

Sport-related concussion is common in full-contact and collision sports. Epidemiology studies use different types of surveillance systems and concussion definitions. Concussion incidence rates vary across age, sex, sport, and level of competition. Incidence rates are increasing, likely due to higher rates of reporting following improved knowledge and increased regulations. In this review, we summarize 7 key concepts related to concussion epidemiology: concussion definition, changes in concussion knowledge, reliability and accuracy of injury surveillance systems, conservative management and return to play, reliability of self-report, incidence of concussion across levels of play, and understanding the behaviors of players, coaches, and medical personnel from a multidisciplinary management perspective.

C1-C3 unilateral dorsal root entry zone rhizotomy for the treatment of persistent postherpetic occipital neuralgia
Authors: Aljuboori Zaid , Neimat Joseph
Published: November 2019

Background:

Postherpetic occipital neuralgia (PHON) is a neuropathic pain condition that usually presents as paroxysmal pain that is stabbing in nature.[5,7] It involves the occiput and posterior scalp in the distribution of the greater and/or lesser occipital nerves. It usually develops after an episode of shingles.[5,7] Treatment usually first consists of medical therapy and then progresses to invasive treatment (e.g., peripheral nerve stimulation, spinal cord epidural stimulation, C2-C3 ganglionectomy, or dorsal root entry zone [DREZ] rhizotomy).[1-4,6] Here, we present a case of persistent PHON that was treated with C1-C3 DREZ.

Case Description:

A 37-year-old female had a history of several episodes of shingles involving the left neck and occiput; they resolved after treatment with valacyclovir. Subsequently, however, she developed severe lancinating pain of the neck and the occiput and was diagnosed with PHON. Initially, she was treated with oxcarbazepine but was stopped due to cognitive side effects. She then had a cervical spinal cord stimulator implanted which produced relief for several years; it was later removed due to breakage of the electrodes. She then underwent a left- sided C1-C2 hemilaminectomy with a C1-C3 DREZ procedure.[1] Postoperatively, she had immediate resolution of her pain, but developed a new left hemiparesis (4+/5), accompanied by imbalance, decreased sensation to light touch, and loss of proprioception. On 6 weeks follow up, the pain was still relieved, and she exhibited significant improvement in her left-sided hemiparesis and hemisensory deficit to which returned to baseline. Similar outcome was maintained at four months follow up.

Conclusion:

Although high cervical DREZ lesions may effectively treat post herpetic/occipital neuralgia that fails other measures, there may be associated major neurological morbidity that makes this procedure acceptable as a salvage option, and after clearly explaining the risks to the patient.
Savaşın Propaganda Cephesi: İran Sinemasında Suriye İç Savaşı
Authors: ELHAN Nail
Published: November 2019

2011
yılında başlayan Suriye’deki iç savaş, devlet ve devlet-dışı aktörlerin dahli
ile birlikte uluslararası bir hal almıştır. Savaşın tarafı olan aktörler,
silahlı mücadelelerinin yanı sıra propaganda faaliyetlerinde de bulunmuşlar ve
izledikleri politikalara meşruiyet kazandırma çabası içerisinde olmuşlardır. Bu
süreçte İran da Suriye İç Savaşında taraf olan ve propaganda faaliyetleri
yürüten aktörlerden olmuştur. İran, 1979 yılındaki devrimin ardından değişen
dış politika paradigması çerçevesinde Suriye savaşına müdahil olmuş ve savaş
sürecinde mezhepçilik yaptığı, iç meselelerini göz ardı ettiği gibi
gerekçelerle eleştirilmiştir. Bu eleştirilere karşı yumuşak bir güç olarak
sinemayı propaganda aracı olarak kullanan İran, böylelikle hem dış politikada
hem de iç politikada meşruiyet zemini aramıştır. Bu aşamada İran yönetimi
tarafından propaganda amaçlı kullanılan “Şam Saatine Göre” filmi, İran’ın bu
girişiminin bir ürünü olmakla beraber, devletin Suriye’deki iç savaşı
algılayışına ve savaş sürecinde ürettiği söyleme örnek oluşturmaktadır. Çalışma
bu bağlamda, 1979’daki İslami devriminden günümüze kadar İran’ın sinemayı bir
propaganda aracı olarak kullanışını “Şam Saatine Göre” filminden hareketle,
İran-Suriye ilişkileri ve Arap Baharı çerçevesinde ele almaktadır. Çalışmada Teun
A. Van Dijk’in eleştirel söylem analizi yöntemi kullanılarak “Şam Saatine Göre”
filminin analizi yapılmaktadır. İran’ın Suriye’deki savaşa bakışının görsel ve söylemsel
yollar ile yeniden inşa edildiği ve İran’ın politikalarının sinema yoluyla etkin
şekilde kullanıldığı sonucuna
ulaşılmaktadır. Çalışma, Suriye İç Savaşı, Arap
Baharı ve İran’ın bu iki meseleye bakış açısı konusunda literatüre katkı sunma
amacındadır.

Effects of monetary policy on economic growth in Zimbabwe
Authors: Damiyano David , Dorasamy Nirmala
Published: November 2019

This research examines the hypothesis of money neutrality in Zimbabwe. After studying the relevant literature on the effects of changes in money supply on real variables, it outlines the research design for a macro-level study on the impact of changes in money supply on real variables. The hypothesis is that there is a positive relationship between money supply and real variables (GDP). The researcher used real GDP as the dependent variable whilst money supply (M3), interest rate and government expenditure were used as explanatory variables. A VAR model has been applied using the country’s macroeconomic data from 1990 to 2017 which was obtained from ZIMSTATS and World Bank Open Data website. Impulse response functions and variance decomposition were used to analyse the impact of the explanatory variables on real GDP. The results suggest that money positively affects real GDP in the short run but in the long it is insignificant in influencing real output. This means that in Zimbabwe, money is non-neutral in the long run, but it is neutral in the long run. Government expenditure has an insignificant influence on GDP both in the short and long run whilst interest rate has a positive effect on GDP in the long run. The recommendations which were given are that the government; should use expansionary monetary policy to increase real GDP, demonetise the bond note as well as the RTGS and adopting the Rand, curbing inflation through increasing production and ensuring transparency in the manner in which loans are given.
Cross-Country Analysis of Energy Subsidies Efficiency
Authors: Karayev A. K. , Ponkratov V. V.
Published: November 2019

The subject of the research is energy subsidies of states for fossil fuels that remain high, which constitutes according to IMF 6.5% of the world GDP and is used by many states as an important instrument for agriculture and industry development, for job creation, as well as for energy safeguarding. However, energy subsidies often cause energy overconsumption, natural resources exhaustion acceleration and decrease stimuli for investments into green power engineering and renewable energy, which resulted in the 2009 agreement of G20 countries to start stage-by stage reducing fossil fuels subsidies.

The purpose of the article is developing a model for quantitative assessment of oil extraction public support. On the basis of the empirical model developed, a cross-country analysis of comparative oil extraction public support efficiency in five countries (three of them developed economies: the USA, Canada, Norway; two countries with developing economies and emerging markets: Brazil, Russia) in 2000–2017 using analysis of the functioning surroundings Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) that allows to uncover not only technical, but also cost effectiveness of budgetary oil extraction support. The data for the empirical model are selected from the statistical database of OECD.

The results obtained demonstrate that the intensifying of oil and gas sector development practically does not correlate with public policy actions in Russia, and urgent measures to eliminate ineffective energy subsidies are necessary.

The subjects of the research are subjects for investments and instruments of investing in green projects. The importance of the research is determined by absence of effective financial economic mechanisms to attract investments into nature conservation projects in Russia to guarantee sustainable economic development. The purpose of the work is determining the major directions of financing nature conservation projects in Russia basing on the world trends in the sphere.The basic green investment directions in compliance with the UN goals of sustainable development, as well as with the perspective scenarios of world economy transition to eco (green) business are considered. The authors study the main instruments and levers to support private investors to finance green projects that can be government regulations, financing, crediting and risk mitigation. It is concluded that for Russia, the most energy  consuming and natural resources intense productions (electric power and heat supply, natural resources extraction, transportation, IT and telecommunications, industrial infrastructure) are sectoral directions for green investments, while concessional lending and credit guarantees (for projects in processing and waste recycling, creating and introduction of energy efficient and eco technologies, in particular), issuing green bonds (here you need regulatory framework, government support mechanisms), creating green banks (with state participation and development institution involvement) can become the most important measures for private green projects investment stimulation.

Published: November 2019

The subject of the research is conflicts between businesses and local population concerning negative impact of mineral resources extraction on the environment and possibilities of its prevention. The purpose of the work is creating an economic mechanism for  ecological conflicts prevention in the regions where mineral resources are extracted through implementing an economic mathematical model of forming optimal assortment of compensatory measures. Mechanisms of preventing ecological conflicts in mineral resources extracting regions including two ingredients — expert analytical and optimizational — are proposed. While realizing the expert analytical constituent of the mechanism, local population on a par with authorities and representatives of the extracting enterprise are involved in prioritizing in the course of reducing man-impact on the environment and in the process of compensatory measures portfolio forming. Optimizational constituent of the mechanism for ecological conflicts prevention demands forming a model for optimal compensatory measures choice. Scientific novelty and significance of the work are presented by a rate scale for expertise of possible negative ecological consequences of creating and operating an extracting enterprise from the point of view of population groups. As the research result an algorithm of expert assessment processing enabling to determine the priority ranking for reducing man-impact on the environment and tension reduction between the extracting enterprise and local population is formed. An optimizational model enabling to determine optimal set of compensatory measures taking into account the interests of both extracting enterprises and the most conflict groups of local population is proposed.

Sahabenin Anlama Sorunu ile Karşılaştığı Bazı Ayetler
Authors: KARATAŞ Ali
Published: November 2019

Sahabenin Kur’an’ı anlama sorunları hakkında kaynaklarda parçalar halinde bilgiler bulunmaktadır. Yine onların hangi ayetleri anlamadığına dair bilgilere de bazı araştırmalarda rastlanmaktadır. Fakat bu hususlar topluca bir çalışmada değerlendirilmemiştir. Bu nedenle bu makale araştırması yapılmaktadır. Bu çalışma tefsir ve diğer bazı kaynaklarda geçen rivayetlerden hareketle ortaya konacaktır. Rivayetlere göre sahabenin anlamadığı ayetler ve onların anlayamama nedenleri tespit edilecek ve bunlar üzerinde değerlendirme yapılacaktır. Ayetler değerlendirilirken Mushaf’taki sırası esas alınacaktır. Çeşitli etkenlerle sahabe tefsirde önemli bir konuma yükselmiştir. Bununla birlikte onlar, anlamı kapalı geldiği için bazı ayetleri anlamakta zorluk çekmişlerdir. Böyle bir durumla karşılaştıklarında Hz. Muhammed’e (a.s.) ve yanındakilere sormaktan çekinmemişlerdir. Bazı rivayetlerde -bu rivayetler sahih ise- Peygamberimizin de birkaç ayeti anlamadığı ve Cebrail’e sorduğu anlatılmaktadır. Ayetlerdeki kapalılık durumu genel olarak lafzın anlamsal yapısından, gramerden ve rivayetlerden kaynaklanmaktadır. Sahabe de benzeri nedenlerden dolayı çeşitli ayetleri bazen anlamamış bazen de yanlış anlamışlardır. Yanlış anlamaları bazen onların arasında sorun da çıkarmıştır. Ancak bu şekilde olan ayetlerin oranı sonraki nesillere göre çok azdır. Çünkü onlar vahyin ilk muhatapları olmalarından dolayı tefsirde önemli avantajlar elde etmişlerdir. Bu avantajlarına bağlı olarak tefsir mahiyetindeki açıklamalarını sonraki nesillere nakletmişlerdir. Onları takip eden nesiller de bundan istifade etmişlerdir. Böylece bir gelenek olarak sahabe tefsirinden yararlanma ilkesi tefsirin önemli bir kabulü haline gelmiştir.

On Weak Projectivity in Arithmetic
Authors: Burgin Mark
Published: November 2019

In the 19th century, non-Euclidean geometries were discovered and studied. In the 20th century, non-Diophantine arithmetics were discovered and studied. Construction of non-Diophantine arithmetics is based on very general mathematical structures, which are called abstract prearithmetics, as well as on the projectivity relation between abstract prearithmetics. In a similar way, as set theory gives a foundation for mathematics, the theory of abstract prearithmetics provides foundations for the theory of the Diophantine and non-Diophantine arithmetics. In this paper, we study relations between operations in abstract prearithmetics exploring how properties of operations in one prearithmetic impact properties of operations in another prearithmetic. In addition, we explore how to build new prearithmetics from existing ones.

Authors: MAULIDIZEN AHMAD , Atikah Nur , Sahara Yuni
Published: November 2019

Ihtikar is a sale and purchase transaction which fulfills the terms and conditions in the sale and purchase contract, but is included in prohibited transactions. In practice, many people are still confused about the ihtikar problem. There are differences regarding the law and the object of Ihikar as transactions that are prohibited from social and economic interests. Therefore, this article will explain the ihtikar law according to scholars and the impact of its application on the economy. This article is a central study with qualitative assessment, a method of collecting data with documentation originating from journals, books and other sources, which are then analyzed by inductive, deductive and comparative methods. The results of the study found that the verses and hadith raised in this paper textually prohibit the existence of ihtikar. Ihtikar law is haram if the goods stockpiled are needed by the community which results in price increases. When this happens, Islam allows for intervention in these economic activities by issuing policies and rules that affect normal prices

Objectives: To know the role of child abuse and neglect (CAN) in developing psychological problems during long after life Study Design: Observational study. Setting: Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Govt. Allama Iqbal Memorial Teaching Hospital, Sialkot, Pakistan. Period: August 2015 and February 2016. Material and Methods: Three hundred and forty (340) consecutive eligible adults complaining one of the psychological/psycho-medical problems viz. depression, anxiety, phobia, abdominal pain, or recurring diarrhea were registered using purposive sampling technique. The recruiters were asked to give responses against CAN-related questions in a locally designed Survey Form after recording the demographic information. Collected data was processed using techniques in SPSS version 17.0. Results: Of 340 cases, 297 (87.4%) were identified as psychological or psycho-medical patients. The problems appeared in 192 (90.6% of total 222) females, 221 (89.5%) rural residents, or 13 (92.9%) cases with socioeconomically poor family background at childhood. Similarly, a subject from nuclear family system was 9 times (95% CI: 5.818-14.476, p = .0001) more vulnerable to the problems than those of joint family system (92.3 vs. 29.6%). History of CAN was reported by 95.9% (n = 281) of diagnosed patients. Moreover, 85.6 to 100% victim of CAN by parents, family acquaintances or school teachers faced the mental health issues. Whereas, mental depression prevailed in CAN reporters. Conclusion: The CAN is a potential predictor for the psychological problems in life long after; hence deserves prompt practical considerations.

Objectives: Serum C-peptide is identified as an indicator of insulin secretion and a useful marker of beta-cell function. Clinically C-peptide is a good indicator in differentiating between type 1 and type 2 diabetes. It is the more reliable indicator of insulin secretion and beta cell function than insulin itself. In liver during first pass metabolism half of the insulin is metabolized however the hepatic clearance of C-peptide is negligible. The purpose of this study was to explore the probability of C-peptide level as an indicator or screening for initiating insulin therapy in type 2 diabetics. Study Design: Cross sectional descriptive study. Setting: The study was conducted in attached teaching hospitals Peshawar Medical College. Period: From February 2017 to July 2017. Material and Method: In the present study 45 type 2 diabetic patients were selected from the admitted patients and patients visiting outpatient departments of Mercy and Kuwait teaching Hospitals as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were compared with 45 non diabetic controls. Results: A total of ninety subjects who fulfilled the inclusion criteria participated in this study. Out of them 45 were diabetics (cases) and 45 were non diabetics (controls). The mean HbA1c levels of controls was 5.351±0.57% and mean among type 2 diabetics was 8.6± 1.7%. The mean of C-peptide among type 2 diabetics is 2.349± 0.73 and the mean value of C-peptide among controls is 2.529±1.060. Patients with HbA1c of 5.5-6.8 % (Good Control), 8 patients have C-peptide in lower normal range 0.1-2 ng/mL, among patients with HbA1c of 6.9-7.6% (Fair Control), 5 patients had C-peptide in the lower normal range 0.1-2 ng/ mL and among patients with HbA1c › 7.6 (Uncontrolled), 2 had C peptide in lower normal range and 30 patients had C-peptide in the upper normal range 2.1-4 ng/ mL. In our study population the type 2 diabetics have C-peptide levels in normal range. Most of the type 2 diabetics have uncontrolled diabetes as evident from their high HbA1c levels but their C-peptide levels are in upper normal ranges. This shows that these patients have intact beta cell function and the cause of their uncontrolled diabetes may be insulin resistance, poor drug compliance and lack of awareness about the disease management. To explore the probability of C-peptide level as an indicator or screening for initiating insulin therapy in type 2 diabetics. Conclusion: It is concluded that C-peptide is not a useful marker for starting insulin therapy in type 2 diabetics. However it can be used for the clinical monitoring and management of the disease.

The Obesity and Hypertension are major risk factors of several life threatening diseases in human body. Objectives: To determine correlation coefficient of Body Mass Index with blood pressure: a gender based comparison in medical students. Study Design: Comparative Cross-sectional study in students. Setting: Physiology department of BMU Karachi. Period: Duration of this study was 6 months from February 2017 to August 2017. Material and Methods: A total of 500 students were enrolled in this study. The anthropometric measurement [height (m2) and weight (kg)] was recorded for calculation of the Body Mass Index (BMI) and blood pressure (BP) was measured by using sphygmomanometer with stethoscope. SPSS version 22.0 was used to analyze the data. Results: BMI overall in both genders were significantly (p<0.05) correlated in mean Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) and mean Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP). Underweight and Normal weight were not correlated with both mean SBP and mean DBP in both genders. Overweight subjects were positively correlated with mean DBP in males and mean SBP in females (p<0.05). Obese students were not significantly (p>0.05) correlated with both mean SBP and mean DBP in males whereas, there were not enough observations to draw any meaningful conclusion in females. Conclusion: Overweight subjects were positively correlated (p<0.05) with mean DBP in males and mean SBP in females and overall BMI (mean SBP & mean DBP) in both genders.

Freshwater scarcity is a critical challenge that human society has to face in the 21st century. Desalination of seawater by reverse osmosis (RO) membranes was regarded as the most promising technology to overcome the challenge given that plenty of potential fresh water resources in oceans. However, the requirements for high desalination efficiency in terms of permeation flux and rejection rate become the bottle-neck which needs to be broken down by developing novel RO membranes with new structure and composition. Cellulose acetate RO membranes exhibited long durability, chlorine resistance, and outstanding desalination efficiency that are worthy of being recalled to address the current shortcomings brought by polyamide RO membranes. In terms of performance enhancement, it is also important to use new ideas and to develop new strategies to modify cellulose acetate RO membranes in response to those complex challenges. Therefore, we focused on the state of the art cellulose acetate RO membranes and discussed the strategies on membrane structural manipulation adjusted by either phase separation or additives, which offered anti-fouling, anti-bacterial, anti-chlorine, durability, and thermo-mechanical properties to the modified membranes associated with the desalination performance, i.e., permeation flux and rejection rate. The relationship between membrane structure and desalination efficiency was investigated and established to guide the development of cellulose acetate RO membranes for desalination.

Published: November 2019

Cholesteric liquid crystal (Ch-LC) exhibits many remarkable optical properties due to formation of a macroscopic helical structure. A low amount of monomer (5wt.%) is dispersed into cholesteric liquid crystal and get polymerized under UV radiations to form polymer stabilized cholesteric texture (PSCT). The thermo-chromic response made this device suitable for the developing applications in thermal imaging. Temperature based measurements of PSCT exploits the key property of some polymer stabilized cholesteric liquid crystals (PSCLC) to reflect definite colors at specific temperatures. The selective color of PSCT texture shifts with raise in temperature from 30oC to 85oC, which can be utilized in thermal imaging applications.
