A mucosa vesical, na presença de agentes agressores, sofre alterações inicialmente benignas, mas com a cronicidade pode sofrer modificações potencialmente metaplásicas. A cistite glandular apresenta um quadro sintomático inespecífico, sendo necessária a realização de biópsia para seu diagnóstico e diferenciação histológica, podendo dividir-se em subtipos clássico e intestinal. Após análise de prontuário médico pertencente ao Hospital Santa Rita de Maringá, objetiva-se relatar o caso de um paciente masculino, de 32 anos, com disúria e dor em hipogástrico, apresentando em ultrassonografia lesão cística de 3,8 cm de diâmetro na bexiga. Após a retirada da lesão por ressecção transuretral, a análise histopatológica revelou presença de ninhos de Von Brunn, áreas de epitélio mucossecretor e mucina extracelular na mucosa vesical, propondo a existência de lesão glandular com metaplasia intestinal. Foi realizado estudo imuno-histoquímico para diagnóstico diferencial de adenocarcinoma mucossecretor bem diferenciado. A cistite glandular, quando manifestada macroscopicamente, assemelha-se a uma neoplasia por apresentar um aspecto irregular, difuso e algumas vezes ulceroso. Seu diagnóstico e tratamento podem ser simultâneos, porém, nos casos mais graves, as opções terapêuticas são restritas. O diagnóstico diferencial é extremamente importante para afastar a possibilidade de adenocarcinoma vesical, portanto, é imprescindível o acompanhamento periódico dos pacientes após o tratamento com a realização de exames específicos. O uso de marcadores imuno-histoquímicos tem se tornado relevante para o correto diagnóstico, pois genes relacionados ao ciclo celular, como o fator de transcrição homebox 2 do tipo caudal (CDX2), podem representar um vínculo entre o surgimento de metaplasia e sua possível progressão a adenocarcinoma.

Published: November 2019

Dentre as várias sequelas causadas pelo acidente vascular encefálico (AVE), destaca-se o comprometimento motor como a hemiplegia e a hemiparesia. A recuperação das sequelas neurológicas pode ocorrer de maneira espontânea, porém parte da recuperação depende de estímulo motor. Isto posto, o exercício físico é um método importante para a reabilitação e promoção da saúde em indivíduos que sofreram AVE. Objetivo: Verificar os resultados obtidos na força muscular global e em equilíbrio dinâmico, em indivíduos com hemiplegia pós AVE, que participaram de um programa de exercícios físicos. Métodos: Participaram do estudo 29 indivíduos, com média de idade de 57 anos. Foram analisados, retrospectivamente, dados dos prontuários de pacientes com diagnóstico de hemiplegia após AVE do Instituto de Medicina Física e Reabilitação do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo – IMREA HCFMUSP, unidade Lapa, que participaram de programa de exercícios no serviço de Condicionamento Físico da instituição no período de setembro de 2011 a julho de 2013. Resultados: Observou-se aumento significativo em força muscular (p<0,05) em todas as musculaturas envolvidas no teste de 10 RM. O maior ganho de força foi no grupo dos isquiotibiais (65,85%) e a musculatura com menor ganho de força foi tríceps braquial, com 31,34%. A média total de ganho de força foi de 45,20%. O tempo de realização dos testes Timed Up and Go (TUG) e Teste de Sentar e Levantar (TSL) foi menor ao término do programa, o que significa que os pacientes melhoraram a capacidade de realizar as mesmas funções avaliadas inicialmente. Conclusão: Este estudo mostrou que o treinamento resistido é muito importante para as pessoas com sequelas de hemiplegia pós AVE, por melhorar a capacidade funcional como o equilíbrio dinâmico, além de contribuir em suas atividades cotidianas com o aumento da força muscular global.
As diversas acepções do termo “vila” e seu rebatimento espacial na cidade brasileira
Authors: Aragão Solange De
Published: November 2019

Do ponto de vista da arquitetura e da cidade, é curioso que um mesmo termo no Brasil possa designar a casa mais rica (o palacete) e um conjunto de casas operárias, ou um aglomerado urbano em sua totalidade e, por outro lado, apenas um bairro de determinada cidade. Enquanto em outros países empregam-se palavras diferenciadas para expressar essas variações espaciais e simbólicas, no Brasil adota-se o mesmo termo. É com o intuito de investigar e demonstrar por que essas coincidências linguísticas referenciando arquiteturas e urbanidades algumas vezes tão divergentes que surge este artigo, apresentando-se as diversas acepções do termo e seu rebatimento espacial na cidade brasileira.
O edifício vertical e o desenho da cidade: o concurso para o Edifício 5ª Avenida
Authors: Nunes André Luiz Tura
Published: November 2019

Este artigo propõe uma reflexão sobre a relação entre o projeto do edifício e o desenho da cidade através da leitura das propostas apresentadas no concurso do Edifício 5ª Avenida em 1959, na Avenida Paulista, por Pedro Paulo de Melo Saraiva e Abelardo de Souza, respectivamente primeiro e segundo colocados. O objetivo principal é analisar o material apresentado pelos arquitetos a fim de compreender as soluções propostas para os edifícios e as relações estabelecidas com o espaço urbano da avenida. Os dois projetospartem de um mesmo princípio de organização espacial – uma torre de escritórios implantada sobre um embasamento comercial –, apresentando, entretanto, desenvolvimentos formais e inserções urbanas muito distintas. O período do concurso caracteriza um momento de intensas transformações na Avenida Paulista. O início do processo de verticalização vem acompanhado de uma mudança de usos e relações entre os edifícios e o espaço público. Saraiva constrói o discurso do projeto propondo uma reflexão sobre a verticalização da Paulista e as possibilidades que se abriam, extrapola a solução de um problema específico conferindo um sentido mais amplo ao concurso.
Um novo conceito para parque urbano no Brasil do século XXI
Authors: Sakata Francine Gramacho , Gonçalves Fabio Mariz
Published: November 2019

Este artigo visa mostrar que os parques urbanos implantados entre 2000 e 2017 em grandes cidades brasileiras são diferentes dos implantados no século XX, e criaram novos desafios de desenho e de gestão. Os grandes parques do século XX se destinavam ao lazer das massas urbanas e eram feitos em áreas centrais ou de moradia de camadas de rendas mais altas. Os novos parques, em boa parte, foram feitos com menos ênfase na provisão de lazer mas, sobretudo, pensando na conservação ambiental, e estão locados em bairros menos centrais ou de camadas de rendas mais baixas. O artigo se desenvolve a partir do trabalho de Sakata, que identificou os parques existentes em 14 cidades, destacando aqueles criados entre 2000 e 2017. Os parques foram alocados em mapas de distribuição de renda, e dados sobre os mais recentes foram coletados em sites das prefeituras, em imagens do Google Earth, em artigos de jornais, nos relatórios das oficinas realizadas pelo grupo de pesquisa Quadro do Paisagismo no Brasil – Sistemas de Espaços Livres (Quapá-SEL) e em outros trabalhos. Conclui-se que, ainda que os grandes parques tradicionais sejam a referência para os projetistas e a população, a maioria dos novos parques, criados principalmente a partir de demandas pela preservação ambiental, está inserida em contextos muito diferentes daqueles dos parques tradicionais e, por isso, apresenta outras demandas de uso. É conveniente, assim, rever e ampliar o conceito de parque urbano para abarcar essas novas figuras, mas é preciso, principalmente, reavaliar os critérios de desenho para os novos parques e incrementar a gestão de todo o conjunto.

Mishima yukio e Sakabe Megumi: uma estética da perversão do pensamento tradicional japonês
Authors: Silva Diogo César Porto da
Published: November 2019

O filósofo japonês Sakabe Megumi ao analisar a língua Yamato constrói uma estrutura do pensamento tradicional japonês que chamou a estrutura do omote. Em sua filosofia o pensamento japonês traz uma ontologia implícita de máscaras e reflexos recíprocos e reversíveis, a qual impede a fixação da identidade do eu e do outro. A expressão máxima da estrutura do omote se encontra no teatro Nô e culmina no “yügeri". Para Sakabe o pensamento tradicional japonês carrega implicitamente uma ontologia estética (ou uma estética ontológica). No romance Confissões de uma Máscara de Mishima Yukio encontramos a estrutura do omote na criação do seu pensamento estético. Contudo, o narcisismo presente na obra de Mishima perverte o pensamento tradicional japonês revelando uma Estética da Perversão que, ao mesmo tempo, recusa-se a se restringuir nos parâmetros do pensamento japonês, mas sem deixar de todo a estrutura do omote.
Aspectos modernos e antigos na ética de Botchan (senhorzinho) de Natsume Sôseki
Authors: Nagae Neide Hissae
Published: November 2019

The experience of a young teacher in a school of Matsuyama City, in Ehime Province, is the focus of Botchan. We can see aspects of Sôseki’s life when he was a teacher at that school，main background for the story，and his experience with a Japanese governmental scholarship in England, when Japan begins to be interested in Western knowledge. Based on Ino, Levinás and Bakhtin's propositions, we intend to present the ethics and the sense of responsibility in this romance that emphasizes otherness through the confront of the Japanese mind，sublimed by the sense of justice with a false morality as well as greed, and the contrasts between the things that are or are not prestigious in a country receptive to Europe and United States. The confrontation with the other, which is at the same time one，s own pair, becames evident as a target to reflection in the Japanese people lives molded in a way to resemble that westernized development.

This article discusses the use of translation as a potential tool of learning foreign languages (LEs). In order to develop the methodological discussion, it is treated separated from the professional translation. In the point of view of the pedagogic translation, it analyzes the characteristics of the translation as an innate ability of the human and its natural and spontaneous engagement in the class room. It discusses the critics about translation and it presents some example of its use as a tool in order to show the positive characteristics. It is concluded, therefore, translation may be more actively employed to promote the cognitive activity of the LE learners.

Du modéle d’entreprise japonaise a L’implantation des filiales: adaptations, transpositions, obstacles
Authors: Hirata Helena Sumiko
Published: November 2019

L'article discute les notions d’“hybridation” et de “pragmatisme” en référence aux processus d5adaptation du “modéle” japonais d’entreprise à d’autres contextes nationaux. Si les produits et les technologies peuvent être similaires dans les filiales et dans les maisons-mères, le contexte macro-économique et socioculturel sont très contrastés et la main d’oeuvre ouvrière essentiellement locale. Des telles différences expliquent SLS L’ apparition de trois types d' adaptation des transplants japonais au Brésil:1 )adaptation pragmatique, soit parla reproduction soit par la rupture avec les conditions en vigueur dans le pays d’origine; 2) non-adaptation, mais transposition pure et simple des pratiques de gestión ou d’organisadon，sans reproduction ni rupture des conditions en vigueur dans les pays d’accueil;3) échec dans les tentatives de transposition à cause des obstacles liés aux rapports sociaux en vigueur dans la société d ’accueil，ou à des rigidités liées à la division régionale du travail et de la production en vigueur au Brésil.

O jardim do chá um caminho para a iluminação
Authors: Rafacho Amanda Murino
Published: November 2019

In the Japanese culture, the garden is one of the most elevated art expressions. It is the transposition of the essence of the surrounding nature to a minor portion of space, where the stones placement and plants stimulate not only the senses, but also the visitor’s mind. Vastly influenced by Zen Budhism, principles as assimetry, simplicity, maturity, naturalness and serenity are the main guidance for projects of japanese gardens. There are many different styles of garden and each one has its own simbology. One of them is the Tea Garden. Since the 12th century, with the arrival of the green tea, the tea cerimony became part of the Zen philosophy. The Tea House becomes the major element of the japanese gadens, and, the garden,is the introductory path to this cerimony.The path to the Tea House must be walked slowly to provide peace sensation for the participants while entering in another world. It is a passway from the external world to the inner world, evoquing simplicity, naturalness and also the qualities of serenity and introspection, essential for the tea cerimony.The Tea Garden is an invitation to enlightenment and preparation of the soul to experience the Japanese culture.

Perihematomal Edema After Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Patients With Active Malignancy
Authors: Gusdon Aaron M. , Nyquist Paul A. , Torres-Lopez Victor M. , Leasure Audrey C. , Falcone Guido J. , Sheth Kevin N. , Sansing Lauren H. , Hanley Daniel F. , Malani Rachna
Published: November 2019

Background and Purpose—

Patients with active malignancy are at risk for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We aimed to characterize perihematomal edema (PHE) and hematoma volumes after spontaneous nontraumatic ICH in patients with cancer without central nervous system involvement.

Methods—

Patients with active malignancy who developed ICH were retrospectively identified through automated searches of institutional databases. Control patients were identified with ICH and without active cancer. Demographic and cancer-specific data were obtained by chart review. Hematoma and PHE volumes were determined using semiautomated methodology. Univariate and multivariate linear regression models were created to assess which variables were associated with hematoma and PHE expansion.

Results—

Patients with cancer (N=80) and controls (N=136) had similar demographics (all
P
>0.20), although hypertension was more prevalent among controls (
P
=0.004). Most patients with cancer had received recent chemotherapy (n=45, 56%) and had recurrence of malignancy (n=43, 54%). Patients with cancer were thrombocytopenic (median platelet count 90 000 [interquartile range, 17 500–211 500]), and most had undergone blood product transfusion (n=41, 51%), predominantly platelets (n=38, 48%). Thirty-day mortality was 36% (n=29). Patients with cancer had significantly increased PHE volumes (23.67 versus 8.61 mL;
P
=1.88×10
-9
) and PHE-to-ICH volume ratios (2.26 versus 0.99;
P
=2.20×10
-16
). In multivariate analyses, variables associated with PHE growth among patients with cancer were ICH volume (β=1.29 [95% CI, 1.58–1.30]
P
=1.30×10
-5
) and platelet transfusion (β=15.67 [95% CI, 3.61–27.74]
P
=0.014). Variables associated with 30-day mortality were ICH volume (odds ratio, 1.06 [95% CI, 1.03–1.10]
P
=6.76×10
-5
), PHE volume (odds ratio, 1.07 [95% CI, 1.04–1.09]
P
=7.40×10
-6
), PHE growth (odds ratio, 1.05 [95% CI, 1.01–1.10]
P
=0.01), and platelet transfusion (odds ratio, 1.48 [95% CI, 1.22–1.79]
P
=0.0001).

Conclusions—

Patients with active cancer who develop ICH have increased PHE volumes. PHE growth was independent of thrombocytopenia but associated with blood product transfusion. Thirty-day mortality was associated with PHE and ICH volumes and blood product transfusion.
Song of the Ovsîanka: Enhanced Nature of the Urban Canary in Imperial St. Petersburg (1880–1900)
Authors: Petri Olga
Published: November 2019

This article explores a stylized version of “natural” birdsong as an element of the soundscape of a historical city, late-nineteenth-century St. Petersburg. From 1880 to 1900, canaries were brought to the city in great numbers from hatcheries located in the Russian countryside. Their song was the ovsîanka, a mix of melodies acquired from wild Russian birds. This song reflects “enhanced nature,” linking human intentionality to the agency of a nonhuman animal, the canary, and both to the city. Breeders, merchants, keepers, and birds formed a super-urban assemblage spanning the city and the countryside. Canaries, like human migrants flooding to the city during this time, retained their strong village roots, and their urban role depended on them. In this super-urban assemblage, the canaries’ urban performance was an expression of their modified and contextual agency, though their agency was assembled and authorized by human-nonhuman networks engendered by the city.
China-Kenya Relations with a Focus on the Maritime Silk Road Initiative (MSRI) within a Perspective of Broad China-Africa Relations
Authors: Lumumba-Kasongo Tukumbi
Published: November 2019

My article is a critical reflection on China-Kenya Relations with the focus on the Chinese MSRI link with Kenya. Since Kenya gained its nominal political independence in 1963 from Great Britain, it has been involved in complex foreign relations with China. Currently, they enjoy solid bilateral relations, despite some domestic priority shifts and ideological differences among their leaders. From Jomo Kenyatta to Daniel Arap Moi, Mwai Kibaki and Uhuru Kenyatta, Kenya-China relations have been growing.

The Forum on China Africa Cooperation. Within FOCAC, a collective, pragmatic consultancy and dialogue scheme was established. There have been more than 80 Chinese development projects in Kenya, ranging from the provision of grants to the building of infrastructures and concessional loans.

This essay reflects, using the geopolitics critique of neo-realism supported by historical structuralism and multipolarity paradigms, potential gains of the MSRI within Kenya vision of 2030 (Ruwaza ya Kenya). What and how would Kenya gain from this initiative, beyond the existing relations? What kind of partnership will develop out of MSRI, which can support African regional needs, exigencies of practices of democracy and those of sustainable development, and environmental parameters? I propose a multipolar perspective as a new theoretical ground to address the above questions.
Modes of Handling Contingency and Educational Goals and Aims
Authors: Copier J. , Hermans C.A.M. , van der Zee T.S.M.
Published: November 2019

This article reports the results of an empirical study into the relationship between school leaders’ experiences of contingency, and how they formulate goals and aims for the future of the children at their schools.

We distinguish between three ways of handling experiences of contingency: contingency denial, contingency acceptance, and contingency receiving. We expect that school leaders who have received new insights in their experiences of contingency (contingency receiving) formulate future aims more often than school leaders who have accepted or denied experiences of contingency. This hypothesis is based on the assumption that both contingency receiving and formulating aims are characterised by transcendental openness and an ethical orientation towards the good life.

The study consisted of qualitative interviews with 24 school leaders of primary schools in the Netherlands. The results confirm the hypothesis, and give insight into the complex relation between personal biography and professional identity in school leadership.
Modes of Narrative Integration of Experiences of Contingency in Highly Sensitive Children: a Qualitative Pilot Study
Authors: Weeseman Yvonne , van Laarhoven Hanneke , Scherer-Rath Michael
Published: November 2019

Narrative integration of experiences of contingency describes the ways (modes) in which people assimilate the uncontrollability—or contingency—of life, while accepting, acknowledging and tolerating the existential fears accompanying these experiences, thus keeping contingency open. Contingency is defined as events being ‘possible (or not impossible) and also not necessary at the same time’. Experiences of contingency, caused by the interplay between life events, one’s worldview and ultimate life goals, disrupt one’s life story, challenging one’s basic needs for understanding, coherence and meaning.

The different modes of narrative integration are studied in six highly sensitive Dutch children, aged between 6 and 12 years old. A practice-based model by Kruizinga et al. (2017) is compared to a theoretical construct of religious philosophical contingency constructed by Wuchterl (2011; 2019). Practical and theoretical differences are discussed. This study confirms the findings by Kruizinga et al. (2017).

Four modes of dealing with contingency are identified: Denial, Acknowledging, Accepting and Receiving. In mode four, Receiving, people transcend themselves (self-transcendence). Contrary to Wuchterl’s theory, vertical transcendence is not a prerequisite for narrative integration of contingency, or for keeping contingency open. We conclude that the model of narrative integration of experiences of contingency by Kruizinga et al. is a valid tool for further research. Possible applications in the field of spiritual care are discussed.
Enclave Governance and Transnational Labour Law – A Case Study of Chinese Workers on Strike in Africa
Authors: Chen Yifeng , Liukkunen Ulla
Published: November 2019

This article examines deficits in the current legal framework of posted workers in a global setting through a case study involving Chinese posted workers striking in Equatorial Guinea. Posting highlights the challenges that economic globalisation and transformation of the labour market pose to labour law. As a phenomenon whose normativity is deeply embedded in the cross-border setting where it occurs, posting should profoundly affect the transnational labour law agenda. The emergence of transnational labour law should be seen from the perspective of reconceptualising existing normative regimes in the light of an underpinning transnationality and sketching the architecture for the normative edifice of transnational labour protection. The transnational legal context under scrutiny calls for a wider normative framework where the intersections between labour law, international law and private international law are taken seriously. Global protection of posted workers should be a featured project on the transnational labour law agenda.

Didymosphaeriaceae is a cosmopolitan family of Ascomycetes including pathogens, saprobes, and endophytes living in a variety of substrates. While a monophyletic origin of the family is now widely accepted, the monophyly of some species, their worldwide distribution, and the timing of their origin is still disputed or unexplored. We first investigated Didymosphaeriaceae species diversity in six provinces of Iran with special focus on East Azarbaijan province: based on morphological features and analyses of concatenated internal transcribed spacer regions of the rDNA operon (ITS), large subunit rDNA (LSU) and beta-tubulin, only eight samples out of 1150 contained Didymosphaeroid fungi belonging to either Paraconiothyrium fuckelii or Kalmusia variispora; our sampling indicates 4 plants as new natural hosts of these fungi. We then performed an updated phylogenetic analysis of the Didymosphaeriaceae. Results indicate that the genera Paraconiothyrium and Kulmasia are polyphyletic as the likely result of previous species mis-assignments. We finally provided the first divergence estimates of the Didymosphaeriaceae using ITS. Bayesian relaxed clock analyses support an ancient (early Paleogene) origin of the family and a recent (late Neogene) diversification of extant genus compatible with a high loss of diversity in the past and/or of a still fragmented sampling of Didymosphaeriaceae diversity.
A corrected type designation for Lophozonia heterocarpa, with an update on the lectotype of Fagus obliqua (≡ Nothofagus obliqua, Lophozonia obliqua) (Nothofagaceae)

Published: November 2019

A corrected type designation for the name Lophozonia heterocarpa Turcz. (now accepted either as L. obliqua or Nothofagus obliqua) is provided; this name is the type of Lophozonia Turcz. recently proposed to be taxonomically restored as a genus segregated from Nothofagus sensu lato. The specimen from the Turczaninow historical herbarium at KW annotated by Turczaninow is considered to be the holotype because it has been explicitly stated in the protologue that the description of L. heterocarpa, as well as those of other taxa in that publication, were based on specimens (holotypes or syntypes) from Turczaninow’s personal herbarium, now held in KW. The specimen from LE previously designated as the lectotype is corrected to isotype since it is a duplicate of the holotype from KW. Digital images of the holotype (KW) and isotype (LE) of L. heterocarpa are provided. Three other isotypes are known in E and K herbaria. It is also demonstrated that the lectotype of Fagus obliqua Mirb. (the basionym of Nothofagus obliqua and Lophozonia obliqua) was cited by Vásquez & Rodíguez in 1999 precisely enough to distinguish it from three other specimens in P also collected by Dombey in Chile. Thus, despite the presence of four duplicates in P, no second-step lectotypification is needed.

Spray-drying and freeze-drying are effective approaches to improve the long-term stability of nanosuspensions. This research explored the effect of spray-drying and freeze-drying techniques on PVP K30-stabilized silybin nanosuspensions. The morphology was observed by scanning electron
microscopy (SEM): The spray-dried sample was spherical, and the freeze-dried samples were rodlike with smooth surfaces. The redispersibility was studied via dynamic light scattering (DLS): The size, PDI, and zeta of the spray-dried sample were 133.27 nm, 0.214, and 24.37 mV, respectively;
the size, PDI, and zeta of the freeze-dried sample were 298.70 nm, 0.114, and 20.98 mV, respectively. The in vitro dissolution was studied, and the two dry powders showed a significant increase compared to silybin. The two dried powders had better long-term stability than the liquid
starting material. Overall, spray-drying and freeze-drying are appropriate drying methods for the preparation of silybin nanosuspensions with better stability and dissolution velocity.
Gambogic Acid Affects Ribosomal Occurrence in Glioma Cells by Downregulating the Phosphoinositide Kinase-3/Protein Kinase B/Mammalian Target of Rapamycin Signaling Pathway
Authors: Luo Guoxuan , Jiang Shengqiang , Zhang Xu , Ling Yunzhi , Luo Hengshan , Zhang Yong
Published: November 2019

Gambogic acid (GA) is a natural compound with a polyprenylated xanthone structure that has antiinflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective properties and acts as a chemopreventive agent. GA exhibits anti-tumor, antimicrobial, and anti-proliferative effects on cancer cells. In the
current study, the effect of GA on phosphoinositide kinase-3 (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway was examined in human U251 glioma cells. Cell viability and apoptosis were evaluated by MTT and Annexin V/PI Double Staining. The expressions of
P38, AKT, and mTOR were evaluated by western blot and qRT-PCR, respectively. MagBeads Total RNA Extraction Kit was used to isolate cell tissue RNA. GA decreased the phosphorylation of P38, AKT, and mTOR. Inhibitors of PI3K (LY294002) enhanced the phosphorylation of P38, AKT, and mTOR. GA reduced
the phosphorylation of ribosomal protein precursors (Pre) and upstream binding factor (UBF), and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-1) further enhanced the cell proliferation and expression of Pre and UBF. These results suggested that downregulation of PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway may be
an important mediator in GA-affected ribosomal occurrence in glioma cells.
Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs) Electrolytes and Natural Photo-Sensitizers: A Review
Authors: Semalti Pooja , Sharma Shailesh Narain
Published: November 2019

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have become the subject matter of significant interest for the research and due to their urge in the field of energy conservation. The safe supply of energy is welfare of human life. However, as an unattainable power-energy conservation source, also
depletion of fossil fuels is an unfortunate mandate and, definitely it is imminent. To encounter this critical issue of energy, non-conventional sources of energy have gained lots of attention, especially solar energy because it’s a device that converts light-energy directly to electrical-energy
without harming the environment. DSSCs provides a reliable and a cheap alternative for different kinds of Photovoltaics. The spectacle realization of Dye-sensitized-solar-cell is typically relying on photosensitizer (Dye), electrolyte and metal oxide semiconductor. A natural dye has become
most credible alternative for such expensive and rare inorganic/chemical sensitizers, due to its lower cost, easy fabrication, eco-friendly and abundance of raw material. Also, DSSC has easily implemented technology with significant efficiency. This review paper enlightens the emergence, operation/fabrication,
components and development of DSSCs using natural photo-sensitizers and factors that affect the stability.

Published: November 2019

Background:

Suicide cases have psychological, socio-economic and cultural aspects, and such cases may have catastrophic impacts in societies due to their outcomes.

Purpose:

This study was aimed to reflect the effect of psychological, behavioral, socio-demographic and economic determinants on suicide.

Methods:

The Ordinary Least Square (OLS) Regression Analysis was utilized for the purposes of this study. Five models were established. In this contex, the first model includes the variables on psychological determinants; the second model with the variables on behavioral determinants; the third model with the variables on socio-demographic determinants; the fourth model with the variables on economic determinants and finally the fifth model with all of the independent variables.

Conclusion:

According to the results, the variables of depression prevalence, alcohol consumption and unemployment rates had statistically significant effect on the suicide cases ( p < .05). The study’s outcomes are considered to contribute on the evidence-based policy development process.
Age Differences in Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Preventable Hospitalizations for Heart Failure in Connecticut, 2009-2015: A Population-Based Longitudinal Study
Authors: Doshi Riddhi P. , Yan Jun , Aseltine Robert H.
Published: November 2019

Objective:

Preventable hospitalizations for heart failure result in a large proportion of hospitalizations. The primary objective of this study was to describe longitudinal trends in the association of race/ethnicity with preventable hospitalizations for heart failure in Connecticut and differences in disparities by age.

Methods:

We analyzed data on hospitalizations in all civilian acute-care hospitals in Connecticut during a 7-year period, 2009 through 2015. We used raking methodology to weight the nonhospitalized population to create a reference population representative of the state’s general population. Multivariate regression models examined racial/ethnic disparities among adults aged 35-64, controlling for age, sex, and type of health insurance. For adults aged ≥65, regression models controlled for age and sex.

Results:

After controlling for age and sex, the non-Hispanic black to non-Hispanic white odds ratio for preventable hospitalizations for heart failure ranged from 5.2-6.4 during the study period among adults aged 35-64. Among adults aged ≥65, non-Hispanic black adults had significantly higher odds (range, 1.2-1.8) of preventable hospitalizations than non-Hispanic white adults. Rates among Hispanic adults were significantly higher than rates among non-Hispanic adults after controlling for age and sex among adults aged ≥65 in 2014 and 2015.

Conclusions:

This research provides information for clinical and population-based interventions targeting racial/ethnic gaps in heart failure hospitalizations. Demonstrating the persistent black–white disparity and age differences in racial/ethnic disparities, this study emphasizes the need for focused prevention among vulnerable populations. Raking methodology is an innovative approach to eliminating selection bias in hospital discharge data.
Universalism and Ecology: An Anthropological Bridge between Radhakamal Mukerjee’s Key Concepts
Authors: Jain Ravindra K.
Published: November 2019

The wider universe of discourse for this lecture is the interface between social sciences and the humanities. This was the dominant intellectual thrust of the so-called Lucknow School of sociology in the 1960s to which Radhakamal Mukerjee (RKM) belonged. Initially, by juxtaposing RKM’s universalism to the holistic evolutionary theory, I bring together the earlier and later versions of scientific universalism, and RKM’s universalistic stance leaning to the humanities. I next contrast the somewhat narrow paradigm of ecology in RKM, with trans-nationalist ecosystems postulated in the contemporary times. Further, the reverberations of RKM’s humanistic universalism are traced in the ‘text and context’ as well as in the polyglot anthropology movements in the new anthropology. Finally, taking a cue from RKM, I note the contribution of incipient and full-blown anthropo-sociological universalism to the debate about the indigenisation of social sciences.
