Authors: Lima Sylvia Rannyelle Teixeira , De Sousa Larissa Marley Ribeiro , Lima João Kennedy Teixeira , Júnior Antônio Leonel de Lima
Published: May 2021

Objetivo: Relatar caso raro de neurocriptococose em paciente imunocompetente.  Detalhamento de caso: A infecção do sistema nervoso central pelo fungo Cryptococcus neoformans, também chamada neurocriptococose, é uma desordem rara mais comum em pessoas que possuem algum grau de comprometimento imunológico, seja primário ou secundário, atuando como infecção de caráter oportunista. Descrevemos um caso de paciente imunocompetente com achados laboratoriais compatíveis com neurocriptococose que se apresentava apenas com cefaleia de características migranosas, nódulo pulmonar isolado sem queixas clínicas e exames de imagem de sistema nervoso central inespecíficos. Considerações finais: Em pacientes imunocompetentes, infecções fúngicas são raras e podem cursar com sintomatologia não evidente, dificultando o diagnostico etiológico. É necessária história clínica minuciosa associada a exames complementares bem empregados com o intuito de chegar ao diagnostico etiológico de forma mais segura possível para assegurar a terapêutica correta. Ademais, se faz necessário emprego de técnicas mais rápidas e acessíveis ao diagnostico, como também para triagem, visto que parte desses pacientes são oligossintomaticos e se beneficiariam de tratamento precoce.

Published: May 2021

Objetivo: Verificar a Depressão e o Suporte Familiar em pacientes renais crônicos. Revisão bibliográfica: Após o levantamento de artigos sobre os temas, Depressão, Doença Renal Crônica (DRC), Hemodiálise e Suporte Familiar, foi verificado que as hemodiálises juntamente com a DRC estão associadas ao surgimento da depressão. Os estudos indicam que isso pode afetar as condições físicas e psicossociais dos pacientes, gerando sobrecarga das comorbidades, maiores complicações da doença, intercorrências hemodialíticas e dependência funcional. Os artigos também mostram que a percepção de um adequado suporte familiar está relacionada ao aumento do senso de segurança em relação à sobrevivência em indivíduos com constantes crises de saúde, podendo reforçar hábitos saudáveis e minimizar os níveis de depressão. Considerações finais: Foi constatado elevado índice de depressão em Pacientes Renais Crônicos (PRC), o que acaba por dificultar o tratamento hemodialítico, sendo este o mais utilizado atualmente. Os pacientes que percebem ou que têm um melhor suporte familiar têm minimizados os seus sintomas depressivos e alcançam melhores resultados durante a terapia substitutiva.

Alkali Lignin from Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Husk as Adsorbent for Aqueous Methyl Orange and Bromothymol Blue: Analysis of the Adsorption Kinetics and Mechanism
Authors: Linde Marjorie Pearl , Marquez Kevinilo
Published: May 2021

In this study, lignin was isolated from rice (Oryza sativa L.) husk using alkaline extraction method and was used as an adsorbent for aqueous solutions of methyl orange (MO) and bromothymol blue (BTB). The equilibrium removal rate of MO was found to be at 61.4%, with experimental equilibrium adsorbate uptake, qe, of 1.23 mg·g-1, achieved at 150 minutes contact time. For BTB, the equilibrium removal rate was found to be at 78.3%, with an experimental qe of 1.57 mg·g-1, achieved at 150 minutes contact time. Pseudo-first order (PFO) and pseudo-second order (PSO) kinetic models were then used to investigate the kinetics of the adsorption process. Both MO and BTB on lignin were found to follow a PSO kinetic model, with rates of 6.84 x 10-3 g·mg-1·min-1 and 0.69 g·mg-1·min-1, respectively. Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushkevich (DR), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), Flory Huggins (FH), and Temkin adsorption isotherm models were then used to determine the appropriate equilibrium adsorption model for both substrates. Based on the calculations performed, the Temkin model best described the adsorptive removal of both MO and BTB. Based on the Temkin model, the adsorption processes of both MO and BTB were found to occur spontaneously, with equilibrium rate constants of 0.083 L·mg-1 and 0.012 L·mg-1, respectively.
Optimization of Formic Acid/Acetic Acid for Lignin Extraction in Talahib (Saccharum spontaneum L.) and the Analysis of the Adsorbent Properties of Lignin Towards Cu(II) and Pb(II) in Aqueous Solution
Authors: Datiles Ma. Rickamae , Marquez Kevinilo
Published: May 2021

In this paper, Talahib (Saccharum spontaneum L), was subjected to lignin extraction using Formic Acid/Acetic Acid Pulping. The effect of the formic acid/acetic acid/water ratio and the reaction time to the lignin yield was determined. It was found that increasing the concentration of formic acid decreased the lignin yield due to the formation of formate esters, which in turn decreased its reactivity to condense with other materials in the solution. In terms of reaction time, highest yield was observed at lowest cooking time due to the absence of recondensation reactions. Then, the pulp was subjected to further delignification using peroxyacid treatment, which aided in the isolation of any residual lignin left. The isolated lignin was characterized using UV-Vis and ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. Analysis of the adsorbent capability of lignin towards Cu(II) and Pb(II) showed % equilibrium removal amounts of 14.149 ± 0.227 % and 11.384 ± 0.572 %, respectively, both with an equilibrium contact time of 20 minutes. Through kinetic analysis, it was observed that both adsorption processes follow a pseudo-second order model, which means that the adsorption rate depends on the concentrations of both the metal cation and the lignin adsorbent. It also showed that the substrate uptake was greater with Cu(II) (0.330 ± 0.0082 mg/g lignin) compared to Pb(II) (0.262 ± 0.0159 mg/g lignin).
An Introductory Overview of C–H Bond Activation/ Functionalization Chemistry with Focus on Catalytic C(sp3)–H Bond Borylation
Authors: Reyes Ronald , Sawamura Masaya
Published: May 2021

The direct and selective functionalization of C–H bonds provides novel disconnections and innovative strategies to streamline the synthesis of molecules with diverse complexities. However, despite the significant advances in the elaboration of techniques for C–H activation, the utilization of unactivated C(sp3)–H bonds remains challenging. In particular, asymmetric transformation of C(sp3)–H bonds is underdeveloped owing to the lack of catalytic systems that can competently discriminate among ubiquitous C–H bonds in organic molecules. This short review aims to outline the challenges and strategies for the catalytic functionalization of C(sp3)–H bonds giving a general and non-exhaustive explanatory approach. Current strategies on the basis of the substrates and reaction mechanisms are summarized in Section 1. Examples of enantioselective C–H bond transformations are then given in Section 2. Finally, in Section 3, an outline of current methodologies towards the direct borylation of C(sp3)–H bonds is described to showcase the importance of developing techniques for catalytic C–H bond chemistry. While we try to cover all excellent reports available in the literature on this topic, any omissions are unintentional, taking note of the most representative examples available.

Authors:   MGIMO University, Sarkisyan Jacqueline M. , Tikhonova Maya A. ,   MGIMO University
Published: May 2021

The article examines aspects of the current economic situation of uncertainty caused by the consequences of the pandemic, and how it affected the development of small businesses in Russia, including the results of a comparative analysis of the functioning of small businesses in other countries. The factors of influence, including a special group of threat factors, are high-lighted on the basis of a specially conducted survey of Russian small enterprises, which makes it possible to more reasonably highlight priorities in the development of anti-crisis manage-ment measures, taking into account the need to implement accelerated digitalization and change business models. Due to the fact that the world is experiencing a crisis of a huge scale, for which it was not ready, and after almost a year, there are no proposals for effective recovery strategies (overcoming) local, individual crises caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, this fact confirms the conclusion about the fact that it is necessary to consider uncertainty, and not risks in the study of crisis behavior of small business.

Authors:   MGIMO University, Andrianova Maria A.
Published: May 2021

This article investigates the current legislation and practice of the remote work application, recent changes in the sphere, as well as development trends in the remote work regulation, taking into account the changing needs of the population. Labor law in Russia is expected to change in order to make this sphere more effective and attractive to all of the participants of the labor relations. Legal regulation of the remote work in Russia is perceived as an optimistic sce-nario of the labor law reform in Russia. Business has long been interested in using this tool, but the lack of skills in new technologies among a wide range of employees and the inertia of the current legislation hindered the process. Currently, there is a clear tendency to overcome all the indicated obstacles to the widespread use of remote work in Russia.

Published: May 2021

The purpose of this study is to analyze the provisions of the NEG (new economic geography) on the example of Siberian regions including the assessment of the differentiation of economic space and the impact of spatial concentration on the level of economic development: market potential, level of economic specialization; the flow of knowledge; as well as the characteristics of the environment. The research was carried out on data of the regional statistical observation (2005-2017). The results of the study revealed the fragmentation and significant differentiation of the economic space. The study showed that different groups of regions, differing in the level of innovativeness, can be differentiated by the quality and connectivity of the economic space. In the central regions, there is a flow of knowledge and diversification of production, in other regions, qualified human capital and the concentration of the extractive industry play a great role. The influence of the environment is still weakly traced. The influence of centrifugal factors for the development of the "center", the most innovative regions, in the Siberian Federal District, has not been fully proven.

In the context of the existing unstable socio-economic situation and territorial disparities in the distribution of productive forces, the development of the transport system is becoming one of the top priorities for the state. Advanced transport solutions are designed to resolve gaps in optimizing the processes of moving people and goods, in particular in terms of safety and security, lowering costs and increasing socio-economic benefits not only for individual enterprises, but for the country as a whole. Often, such advanced solutions are provided by innovative developments — the largest number of them characterize the most developed transport systems in the world. At the same time, today it is generally accepted that the transport system of Russia is not one of those. In this regard, the purpose of this study is to consider the current situation in the transport sectors of the Russian Federation for the further development of the innovation sphere in each of them. As the study has shown, today in Russia there are innovative projects in the form of unmanned road and rail transport, which, with the active participation of the state, can become a highly competitive product in the world market. In other industries, in particular, electric mobile infrastructure, electric, water and air transport, there is a noticeable lag behind foreign counterparts, which can lead to serious consequences for the Russian transport system in the future. The presented results can be useful for state bodies, municipalities, city heads and various kinds of city researchers.

Authors:   RFTA of the MED of Russia, Alexander Denis A.
Published: May 2021

Anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) is a complex area in which many state authorities of the countries of the world are involved, as well as numerous international organizations and institutions. One of these international institutions is the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering (FATF), the main organization in this area. There are many disputes among the scientific community and practitioners regarding its legal status. It is not an international (intergovernmental) organization under international law. But is it worth it to acquire such a status and what are the consequences of its acceptance / non-acceptance? This article will analyze in detail the legal status of the FATF from the point of view of international law (the law of international organizations, the law of international treaties, the law of international customs), as well as study other issues directly related to it, which may affect the international community's decision to change its status, for example the fact of possible politicization of the FATF due to its informal status.

Authors: Ali Muhammad Arsalan , Rehman Khalil ur , Maqbool Adnan , Hussain Shahid
Published: May 2021

Individual financial well-being is recognized as a major concern for the general welfare and social welfare of society. In this context, it is very important to understand how people can ensure good financial well-being. This article aims to explore the effects of financial literacy, risk tolerance, and risk perception on the financial well-being of individuals, with an emphasis on behavioral investment interventions. Quantitative research methods are used to measure the factors that affect financial well-being. A questionnaire was developed on Google Forms to collect data from people who have bank accounts. The sample of 318 Pakistanis supports the proposed hypothesis. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to evaluate the results. The results show that risk tolerance, risk perception and financial literacy influence people's investment behavior and ultimately their financial well-being. Individual financial behavior needs to be improved. In this context, there is an urgent need for financial education programs in the education system and centers of employment, behavioral development and financial literacy.

Future research on this topic could benefit from collecting longitudinal data which could provide more relevant information for Pakistanis seeking to achieve better financial well-being. All measures used are reported separately and individually, measuring the risk that respondents will misinterpret questions and even interpret their behavior.

Authors: Qasim Tahira Bano , Ali Hina , Malik Natasha , Liaquat Malka
Published: May 2021

Purpose: The research aims to build a suitable model for the conditional mean and conditional variance for forecasting the rate of inflation in Pakistan by summarizing the properties of the series and characterizing its salient features.

Design/Methodology/Approach: For this purpose, Pakistan’s Inflation Rate is based upon the Consumer Price Index (CPI), ranging from January 1962 to December 2019 has been analyzed. Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) test that was used for testing the stationarity of the series. The ARIMA modeling technique is a conditional mean and GARCH model for conditional variance. Models are selected on AIC and BIC model selection criteria. The estimating and forecasting ability of three ARIMA models with the GARCH (2,2) model has been compared to capture the possible nonlinearity present in the data. To depict the possible asymmetric effect in the conditional variance, two asymmetric GARCH models, EGARCH and TGARCH models have been applied.

Findings: Based on statistical loss functions, GARCH (2,2) model is the best variance model for this series. The empirical results reveal that the performance of model-2 is best for all the three variance models. However, the GARCH model is the best as the variance model for this series. This shows that the asymmetric effect invariance is not so important for the rate of inflation in Pakistan. 

Implications/Originality/Value: The current study was based on the least considered variables and the pioneer in testing the complex relationship through the ARIMA model with GARCH innovation.

Percepción de la funcionalidad familiar y adherencia al tratamiento de pacientes obesos
Authors: Gutiérrez Caballero Fernando Gabriel
Published: May 2021

La familia es considerada socialmente el grupo primario de contacto de un individuo y determina gran parte del comportamiento de éste, pudiendo influir positiva o negativamente en la conducta de sus integrantes y repercutir directamente en la salud física y psicológica de ellos. La falta de adherencia al tratamiento en las enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles es sumamente elevada. En los países desarrollados no llega al 50% y en aquellos países en vías de desarrollo, como Paraguay, la adherencia es aún menor. Entre los diversos factores modificables que influyen en el desarrollo de obesidad y la adherencia al tratamiento las medidas preventivas han sido poco eficaces para impedir el crecimiento rápido de la incidencia y prevalencia de esta enfermedad en todo el mundo. El apoyo de la familia constituye un factor clave para la adherencia al tratamiento y el cambio de la conducta a largo plazo. Una familia disfuncional puede condicionar la ingestión de alimentos y propiciar el abandono de la terapia, agravándose el problema.
Sustainable Conceptual Design of Structures between Form Finding and Free Form Design: The Ruled Freedom
Authors: Zordan Tobia
Published: May 2021

While the definition of “Sustainability” is a rather determined concept for many engineering disciplines, the way we have, as civil engineers, to effectively incorporate sustainability issues into Structural Design is still a fuzzy issue, even if many green rating systems cradle-to-grave are proposed in literature. Sustainability deals with the evaluation of uncertainties and with optimization procedures helping the Engineer to address the choice among a set of possible design alternatives.

Conceptual design represents a fundamental aspect in all design phases ranging, in its widest meaning, from the first ideas till the definition of the details and involving even aspects related to the life-cycle of the structure, as for instance, the long-term maintenance strategies.

In an age where digital tools are giving the Designers the possibility of expressing themselves shaping structures whose fundamentals can be completely separated from the principles of Structural Engineering, with the consequent dramatic increase of the uncertainties related to the long-term response of the structure. The lesson learnt from the Masters of Structural Engineering of last Century, with their utmost attention in the definition of the most suitable shape able to fit the structural requirements under given boundary conditions, seems to acquire the greatest importance within a sustainable process where the limitation of uncertainties appears to meaningfully contribute to the reliable quantification of the life cycle costs and resource consumption.

If we can share the statement, which is probably irrefutable, that the overall development ratio of the increasing world population and the increasing search for wealth is presently incompatible with the available resources, the contribution of Structural Engineering in limiting the uncertainties related to the life-cycle demand of structures and infrastructures can be meaningful.

There is a “Ruled Freedom” in achieving a piece of Structural Art through a sustainable design that must consider usual issues like safety and serviceability as well as other key features which are sometimes not taken in due consideration such as structural efficiency, aesthetics, adaptability, durability, life-cycle costs and minimal maintenance, risk reduction and value protection. A number of examples related to the mentioned aspects will be supplied in the following.
The Integration of Engineering and Architecture
Authors: Carfrae Tristram
Published: May 2021

Traditionally, the design process has been led by the architect with the engineer ensuring the structural integrity of the architect’s design. This paper explores how design collaboration that integrates both disciplines differs from this model. The project descriptions implicitly explain how an architect/engineer collaborative process works, whilst noting how this leads to a ‘delightful efficiency’ in design and construction.

Founder and central leaders of policymakers and development in the health sector said several obstacles must be addressed in the health service system, one of which is the low level of hospital services in Indonesia. The health service system in Indonesia still needs to be improved by the government, both in terms of equity, regulation, and system integration. To achieve the goals of sustainable health services, it is necessary to implement an integrated system (internal control system) in the hospital. An effective internal control system can anticipate various environmental changes that occur quickly, increase operational effectiveness and efficiency, and anticipate law violations. To improve the quality of sustainable health services, apart from implementing an internal control system, hospitals also need to carry out various innovations to provide changes in the bureaucratic climate. Innovations are carried out based on learning on all processes that have been carried out by the hospital. Therefore, the objective to be achieved in this study is to determine the effect of internal control systems and organizational culture (innovation and learning culture) on the quality of sustainable public services at BLUD RSUD dr. Slamet, Garut Regency. The data was collected using a survey method using a questionnaire. Data were analyzed using multiple regression methods. The results showed no influence on the internal control system on the quality of sustainable public services, but there was an influence of organizational culture on the quality of sustainable public services.

The sample that is used is 211 non-financial firms listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) with period from 2007 to 2017, resulting a total of 2321 firm-year observations. The regression model used are fixed effect and random effect model. The results show that excess cash increase trading continuity and decrease liquidity risk. This result can be caused by uninformed trader trading participation. Additionally, excess cash has a positive effect on firm value directly because with excess cash firm can invest. The study also finds that the effect of excess cash on illiquid firm value is negative, this result happened because excess cash can increase firm’s information asymmetry problem. Finally, we also find that excess cash has higher effect on small size firms with financial constraint problems and higher growth opportunities.

Published: May 2021

Considering the contradictory finding regarding e-service quality influence toward customer loyalty in the context of online food delivery (OFD) service, we evaluate e-service quality measurement by adding an extended indicator. Our study aims to validate payment flexibility as an extended indicator and examine e-service quality influence on customer loyalty. Data were collected through an online questionnaire involving 100 OFD customers in West Java (Indonesia). The Partial Least Square (PLS-SEM) technique was used to analyze data from that answered questionnaire. Interestingly, our findings showed that payment flexibility is valid and reliable as an e-service quality indicator. Moreover, the influence of e-service quality on OFD customer loyalty is found to be statistically significant. Finally, this study provides new insight into the existing knowledge of e-service quality and generates valuable implications. OFD service providers are suggested to ensure order suitability in retaining their customer loyalty.

The competition for coffee shops in Indonesia is getting tighter, especially the coffee shop business with the coffee-to-go shop (take away) concept. The to-go coffee shop is a coffee shop that provides coffee drinks that are sold in packs that are ready to take (take away) so that they can be enjoyed in other places due to limited space. This study aims to analyze the effect of experiential marketing on repurchase intentions. The questionnaire in the study was distributed to 100 respondents with purposive sampling technique as a data collection technique. The findings in this study are that only the relate variable has a positive and significant effect on repurchase intention. Three other variables such as sensory, feel, and think have a positive but insignificant effect. While the act variable has a negative and insignificant effect. Thus, only a part of the experiential marketing dimension has an effect on the intention to repurchase students of the Faculty of Economics and Business, YARSI University.
Facial Lipostructure: an Overview

Aim: Facial lipostructure (FLS) is not a new procedure. In the past, many surgeons steered clear of it because the results were poor and unpredictable . In the 80’s however FLS emerged with precise indications, improved techniques, foreseeable and stable results. Its use has become widespread because it produces natural, long-lasting outcomes with minimal donor site morbidity . FLS usually represents the last procedure or retouch in many reconstructive procedures and protocols. Moreover adipose-derived stems cells (ADSCs) represent a promising source of autologous cells for tissue repair and regeneration. Methods: In the maxillofacial area, FLS is indicated primarily to restore and rejuvenate the zygomas, periorbital region, cheeks, nose, lips, chin, mandible and jawline. Recently, it has been applied to correct localized tissue atrophy, burns, hemifacial atrophy (Parry-Romberg syndrome, scleroderma, anophthalmic orbit), and loss of substance resulting from trauma, tumor excision, and congenital craniofacial deformity sequelae. Orthognathic surgery and fat grafting represent a new application and an appropriate indication. It is well known that this surgery moves the skeletal bases (maxilla, mandible, chin) but often this leads to a lack of soft tissue coverage. Some patients, particularly women, complain about this lack of soft tissue volume after bony surgery. Conclusion: FLS was launched as a means to improve volumes and facial aesthetics. Recently, it has been applied in more complex reconstructive and regenerative procedures. It can especially be used on any facial area lacking soft tissue due to posttraumatic outcomes, post tumor deformities, and as a refinement in for many acquired and congenital maxillofacial deformities. The proposed uses for ADSCs in tissue repair and regeneration are quite impressive. Recent works on ADSCs would suggest that adult cells may prove to be an equally powerful regenerative tool in treating congenital and acquired maxillofacial disorders. More importantly, physicians, researchers and international associations need to work to inform clinicians about what practices are evidence based and to encourage support of additional research. Today tissue engineering and regenerative medicine are a multidisciplinary science that is evolving along with biotechnologic advances.

Background: It has been still unclear whether the cut-off value of the short physical performance battery for predicting the ability of the toilet activity in the hospitalized older patients. The aim of this study was to reveal the relationship between the short physical performance battery and the ability of toilet activity, and also to determine the cut-off value of the short physical performance battery score for the ability of toilet activity in the hospitalized older patients. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 71 hospitalized older patients were recruited. The short physical performance battery and the ability of toilet activity using the Barthel index (BI) were measured. The patients were split into two groups, according to the ability of toilet activity (Group 1: 10 point; Group 2: 5 point or less in BI score). A multiple logistic regression analysis was used to assess the relationship between the two groups. Moreover, the cut-off value for dividing into two groups, (Group 1 and Group 2) using the short physical performance battery score, which was calculated by a receiver operating characteristic curve. Results: The short physical performance battery score was an independent explanator for the ability of toilet activity using multiple logistic regression analysis. Besides, the cut-off value of the short physical performance battery for the ability of toilet activity was set in this study. Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that the cut-off value of the short physical performance battery score could be a useful index to predict the ability of toilet activity in the hospitalized older patients.
Multi-method experience sampling in information behaviour research
Authors: Cole Amelia , Urgo Kelsey
Published: May 2021

Capturing information behaviours and attitudes that occur in natural settings is a challenge. Observational methods are often intrusive or retrospective proxies, which may change behaviour or misrepresent attitudes. Technology enables novel approaches to in-situ quantitative data collection but rarely explores qualitative reflections; informing researchers on what happened, but not necessarily why. Recent work uses multi-method approaches that combine quantitative data, tracking experiences, feelings, and behaviours over time, with qualitative data to gain deeper insights into subjective experiences. This paper introduces information and library scientists to a multi-method approach to the data collection of subjective experiences over time.

This poster presents early findings of an ongoing study about information activities of the birdwatching communities on the YouTube platform. The research aims to find out how they typically seek and share information on this social media and to what extent YouTube videos can satisfy their information needs. To address the questions, the researcher analysed 1988 comments from a sample of the most visited birdwatching videos to identify the patterns based on the user generated content (UGC). The results up to this stage show birdwatching is an incredibly information-rich context and birdwatchers are involved in wide range of information activities to pursue their hobbies.
