Published: April 2021

A lot of studies have actually been done by numerous researchers both in developed and developing countries such as Ethiopia to ascertain the empirical relationship existing between capital structure and firm performance with varying samples and period as well as application of several and divergent statistical estimation. This study is based on the identification of the impact that capital structure have on the financial performance of commercial banks in Ethiopia. In this regard, secondary data is collected from varied sources especially annual reports of the private commercial banks in Ethiopia. The literature review is done in the report, and it is identified operating, and the capital structure heavily affects net profit. Apart from this, return on equity, asset and capitals employed also affected by the capital structure of the banks. Regression analysis and descriptive analysis tools are used to analyse the data that is related to the sixteenprivate commercial banks in Ethiopia. On analysis of data, it is identified that operating and net profit is heavily affected by the capital structure. However, in the case of return on asset, return on equity, and return on capital employed, such kind of relationship is not observed. Thus, it is concluded on the basis of entire work that capital structure have the huge impact on the operating and net profit, but it does not put any large impact on the return on asset, return on equity and return on capital employed. The study recommended that banks follow a specific policy, in order to maintain a balance in the capital structure. It is also recommended that managers must keep a keen eye on the changes that are taking place in the capital structure.

Published: April 2021

In the financial system and economy, the banking industry plays a crucial role. Default risk takes central stage in preserving financial stability and needs to be mitigated as it can trigger a crisis. The study examines the combined effects of monetary policy and bank competition on banking defaults. Using a sample of 95 commercial banks in Indonesia between 2009 and 2019, this study employs the Generalized Method of Moments, a two-step dynamic panel-data estimation system, to analyze it. Empirical estimation results show that monetary policy, through an increase in the benchmark interest rate, negatively affects probability of default. The extent of banking stability is also enhanced by monetary policy. Banking competition has a negative and significant effect on probability of default and has a positive effect on the banking distance to default. Furthermore, the combined impact of monetary policy and banking competition positively affects probability of default but has a negative impact on the distance of default. Building on this study, to promote a stable and more efficient banking system, policymakers should develop policies that foster complementary monetary and competition policies.
Through-Bond and Through-Space Interactions in [2,2]Cyclophanes
Authors: Galembeck Sérgio , Orenha Renato , Madeira Rafael , Peixoto Letícia , Parreira Renato
Published: April 2021

The interpretation of the distortions of the electron distribution in [2,2]cyclophanes (22-CPs) is controversial. Some studies indicate that there is an accumulation of electron density (ρ) outside the cavity of 22-CPs. The nature of through-space (ts) interaction is still under debate. The relative importance of ts and through-bond (tb) is an open question. In an attempt to clarify these points, we have investigated five 22-CPs and their corresponding toluene dimers by molecular orbitals analysis, electron density difference analysis, some topological analysis of ρ (quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM), electron localization function (ELF) and noncovalent interactions (NCI)), and energy decomposition analysis with natural orbitals for chemical valence (EDA-NOCV). ρ is concentrated inside the inter-ring region. All the analyses indicated that ts is predominant. The ts is composed by attractive dispersion and Pauli repulsion, with a small covalent contribution. Except for 1 and 6, all the compounds present inter-ring bond paths.

Authors: Arango-Guerra Pablo , Banoy-Restrepo Natalia , Rodriguez-Vera Federico
Published: April 2021

Generalmente, los pacientes con rasgo falciforme sufren pocas manifestaciones del espectro de la anemia de células falciformes. El infarto esplénico es raro, pero es una complicación documentada del rasgo falciforme y, usualmente, se presenta en condiciones de disminución de la presión parcial de oxígeno, como ocurre en grandes alturas. Se presenta el caso de un joven sin antecedentes, quien presentó dolor súbito en hipocondrio izquierdo luego de viaje a zona de gran altura y en quien se documentó infarto esplénico y posteriormente se confirmó como etiología del cuadro, rasgo falciforme mediante electroforesis de hemoglobina. La mayoría de los pacientes desconocen su rasgo falciforme, lo que hace desafiantsu enfoque, retrasa el diagnóstico y resulta en manejos inadecuados que pueden aumentar la extensión del infarto esplénico y requerir finalmente esplenectomía.

Authors: Blanco Victor M. , Aristizabal-Henao Natalia , Aguilar-Londoño Carolina , Torres-Grajales José Luis
Published: April 2021

Las enfermedades de la tiroides, tanto benignas como malignas, son altamente prevalentes a nivel mundial, por lo que es muy probable que durante la pandemia por SARS-CoV-2 veamos pacientes con ambas enfermedades. Esto exige el conocimiento de las implicaciones potenciales de este nuevo virus en el funcionamiento de la glándula, en los tratamientos usuales para estas enfermedades y en consideraciones especiales para este grupo poblacional. A la fecha no hay evidencia que soporte que las enfermedades tiroideas aumenten el riesgo de infección o severidad de la enfermedad. Sin embargo, es posible que durante infecciones severas por SARS-CoV-2 en personas con o sin antecedente de enfermedad tiroidea puedan presentar alteración de las pruebas tiroideas, aunque transitoriamente y sin requerimiento de tratamiento específico. Es fundamental que los pacientes continúen con sus tratamientos ambulatorios y se difiera, en la medida de lo posible, los procedimientos quirúrgicos o la administración de yodo radioactivo hasta que se considere seguro realizarlos.

A IMPLANTAÇÃO DA ZONA RURAL COMO UM “CELEIRO DA CAPITAL”
Authors: Santos Leonardo Soares dos
Published: April 2021

Nos 1920 a zona rural então delimitada traria em seu bojo a preocupação de fomentar um certo conjunto de atividades e construções para fins agrícolas. Toma então impulso a ideia de que a região poderia se tornar o “celeiro” do Distrito Federal. Pensando com o conceito de território de Rogério Haesbart, entendo a zona rural aqui não como um espaço estático, alvo de tributos, mas um território dinâmico, que passava a ser lido e entendido em conjunto com as relações sociais que nele vigorassem, e não como se fosse algo a parte. Com base na análise de textos legislativos, material jornalístico e pronunciamentos oficiais, este artigo se dedica a reconstituir esse processo entre 1917 e 1935, observando a maneira como a região é pensada e lida por diferentes agentes a partir de noções e objetivos atribuídas a ela.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the anthelmintic effect of the root and stem of Uncaria guianensis on eggs and larvae of gastrointestinal nematodes from naturally infected sheep. The extract of the root of Uncaria guianensis was tested at concentrations of 0.57mg / mL and 1.14mg / mL and the extract of the stem of Uncaria guianensis at concentrations of 1.25mg / mL and 2.5mg / mL. The animals were divided in groups of five animals each, where four groups received the plant extract and a dose / concentration, one group received the anti-helminthic closantel and another group received only distilled water, totaling six treated groups. Ten mL were applied orally on days treatment, in a single dose for the groups treated with the extract, the closantel group received the dose recommended by the manufacturer and the negative group received 10 mL of distilled water. Stool samples were collected weekly for parasitological analysis and blood for hematocrit. The results of the OPG were analyzed after log transformation (x + 1) and submitted to one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey’s test at 5% of probability. Third stage L3 larvae were recovered from co-culture and subjected to the 5% tukey test. The results showed a reduction in the number of eggs per gram of feces, in the group treated with Uncaria guianensis root at a concentration of 1.14mg / mL and in the chemically treated group, where they obtained a statistically significant reduction (p <5%), when compared to the other treated groups, presenting 69% and 66% respectively in the reduction percentage. Regarding the number of third-stage larvae of gastrointestinal nematodes recovered from sheep, after treatment they observed that the groups treated with closantel, Uncaria guianensis root at a concentration of 1.14mg / mL and a stem of Uncaria guianensis at a concentration of 1.25mg / mL were statistically different (p <5%) from the other treatments, with 68%, 68% and 86% respectively reduction in the number of larvae. As for the hematocrit, the results remained within the reference standards for the Amazon Biome. Thus, we conclude that Uncaria guianensis has ovicidal and larvicidal activity on gastrointestinal nematodes in sheep.
Gelenekselden Çağdaş Olana Türk Hikâye Anlatıcılığında Temel Motivasyonlar (Model Anlatıcılar Işığında)

Anlatma eylemi insan doğası için temel gereksinimlerin başında yer alır. Bununla birlikte kendisini zamanın ruhuna göre yeniden düzenleyip değiştiren bir doğaya da sahiptir. Kuşkusuz her uygarlığın ve geleneğin anlatıcılık biçemleri nasıl değişime uğramışsa Geleneksel Türk Halk Hikâyeciliği de teknik, tematik ve estetik ölçütlerde değişim ve dönüşümler yaşamıştır. Yanı sıra, geleneğin izini süren, geleneği devam ettiren ama aynı zamanda çağın gerektirdiği yapısal özellikleri üzerinde barındıran (halef – seleflik) hikâye anlatıcılığının Türk anlatı sanatına yeni değerler kazandırdığı da açıktır. Böyleyken günümüz anlatı sanatında ciddi bir paradoksal yapının bulunduğunu da söylemek gerekir. Bir tarafta Benjamin’in de ifade ettiği şekliyle, hikâyeler çağının bittiğine dair sav, diğer tarafta içeriği hafife alan bu çağa hikâyelerle direnen meddah, masal anlatıcısı, stand-upçı gibi anlatıcılar. Belki millet olarak, bugün, bu ikircikli durumun sebep olduğu kültürel travmayı fazla hissetmiyor olabiliriz, fakat yarın sözlü kültürümüzün ve anlatı geleneklerimizin nasıl bir türbülansa muhatap olacağı çok da kestirilebilir değildir.

Aims:

This study aimed at studying various types of gynecological cancers and the available therapeutics
to investigate safe and effective drugs.

Background:

Cancer is the most common cause of mortality throughout the world. When the statistics are being
considered for gynecological cancers, ovarian, cervical, and uterine cancers are among the most prevalent types.
They have the worst prognosis and the highest mortality rate and by the year 2040 significant increase in mortality
rate is predicted.

Objective:

The major limitation with the development of anti-cancer therapeutics for gynecological cancers is the
safety of the therapeutics for the developing fetus as well as the mother. Various medicinal classes of natural to synthetic
therapeutics have been reported including kinase inhibitors as the most promising category of anti-cancer
drugs.

Methods:

A dataset of kinase inhibitors clinically approved as anticancer agents was derived through a literature
review. A QSAR based approach i.e. VEGAQSAR has been applied to evaluate the reproductive and developmental
toxicity for the selected class of kinase inhibitors.

Result:

In the present work, the promising category of anticancer kinase inhibitors has been investigated for its toxicity
potential with the help of in silico approach. The anti-cancer kinase inhibitors were categorized based on the
found non-toxic or toxic properties towards reproductive and developmental toxicity.

Conclusion:

Early prediction of the available or proposed anti-cancer therapeutics for their contribution towards
developmental and reproductive toxicity is an important criterion for their use in pregnancy-associated cancers. The
investigation of the toxicity profile of available anti-cancer kinase therapeutics will be helpful to design and develop
novel and safe anti-cancer drugs in the near future. The study outcomes will benefit the current anticancer drug
development efforts.

Published: April 2021

Deze casus gaat over een bordeaux dog van 14 maanden oud met osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) en losse processus coronoideus (LPC). Wat betreft ras en leeftijd is dit een heel typisch geval van elleboogdysplasie. Bijzonder waren echter de verschillende stappen die nodig waren om tot een definitieve diagnose te komen. De hond werd aangeboden met klachten van acuut progressief manken. Op basis van het klinisch en radiografisch onderzoek werd de vermoedelijke diagnose van bilaterale LPC gesteld. Tijdens artroscopie konden geen duidelijke primaire letsels vastgesteld worden. Wegens persisterend manken werd een computed tomografisch onderzoek uitgevoerd, waarbij in de rechterelleboog een OCD-letsel gezien werd en in de linker een fissuur. Via een tweede artroscopie werden uiteindelijk beide ellebogen behandeld met goed resultaat. Deze casus toont aan dat de artroscopische inspectie van de elleboog steeds grondig dient te gebeuren, zeker voor de detectie van OCD en fissuren omdat beide letsels soms moeilijk zichtbaar zijn.

Published: April 2021

Recente ontwikkelingen in de geassisteerde voortplanting bij het paard laten toe veulens te fokken van sub- of infertiele merries en hengsten, alsook van pasgestorven merries of hengsten. Eicellen kunnen bij levende merries verzameld worden door ovum pick-up (OPU), waarbij de eicellen transvaginaal of transabdominaal uit de follikels gespoeld worden. Post mortem kunnen ook eicellen verkregen worden door de follikels te schrapen. Na rijping kunnen de eicellen bevrucht worden. Dit kan in vivo door eiceltransfer, waarbij een rijpe eicel in de eileider van een geïnsemineerde receptormerrie wordt overgeplant, of in vitro. Aangezien conventionele invitrofertilisatie niet succesvol is bij paarden, wordt intracytoplasmatische sperma-injectie (ICSI) toegepast. Na ICSI kunnen de bevruchte eicellen worden overgebracht naar de eileider van een gesynchroniseerde receptormerrie. Eveneens kunnen ze verder in vitro worden opgekweekt tot blastocysten, waarna ze naar de baarmoeder van een receptormerrie overgeplant kunnen worden. In dit artikel wordt de in-vitroproductie van paardenembryo’s besproken met de bijhorende vooren nadelen en de mogelijke klinische en wetenschappelijke toepassingen.

TRUMP VS JOKOWI: EXPLORING THE LEXICOGRAMMATICAL VARIATION OF HEAD OF STATES’ TWITTER COMMUNICATION Putu Nur AyomiUniversitas Mahasaraswati Denpasaremail: putu.nur.a@unmas.ac.id Abstract Unlike other social media such as Facebook or Instagram, which is usually used to connect people and maintain relationships, Twitter focuses on information sharing. This makes Twitter an ideal platform to discuss ideas and generate conversations around particular issues. This article explores and compares the lexicogrammatical choices made by President Donald Trump and Joko Widodo in a selection of their tweets. Guided by Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), this article explains the stylistic differences and their implications in the three metafunctions: ideational, interpersonal, and textual, including the language used for evaluation drawn from the Appraisal system network. The study reveals that Trump’s language is more spoken-like than that of Jokowi’s. Trump also employs various appraisal strategies to negatively evaluate his opponents and counter various adverse accusations addressed to him. Jokowi, on the other hand, uses more abstract written-like language and use more positive appraisal strategies mainly addressed to his government programs and plans amid the Covid-19 pandemic. The result of the study reveals that different individual lexicogrammatical choices can generate diverse representations and images.Keywords: lexicogrammar, metafunction, grammatical metaphor, appraisalTRUMP VS JOKOWI: MENDEDAH VARIASI LEKSIKOGRAMATIKAL KOMUNIKASI KEPALA NEGARA DI TWITTERAbstrak Berbeda dengan media sosial lain seperti Facebook atau Instagram yang biasanya digunakan untuk menghubungkan orang dan menjaga hubungan, Twitter berfokus pada berbagi informasi. Ini menjadikan Twitter platform yang ideal untuk mendiskusikan ide dan menghasilkan percakapan seputar masalah tertentu. Artikel ini membahas dan membandingkan pilihan leksikogramatikal dari Presiden Donald Trump dan Joko Widodo dalam kumpulan tweet mereka. Dengan panduan teori Linguistik Fungsional Sistemik, artikel ini menjelaskan perbedaan gaya bahasa kedua presiden dan implikasinya dalam ketiga metafungsi: Ideasional, Interpersonal, dan Tekstual, termasuk penggunaan bahasa sebagai sarana evaluasi yang diambil dari sistem Appraisal. Kajian ini mengungkapkan bahwa bahasa Trump lebih bercirikan bahasa lisan dibandingkan bahasa Jokowi. Trump juga menggunakan berbagai strategi Appraisal untuk mengevaluasi lawan politiknya secara negatif dan untuk melawan berbagai tuduhan negatif yang ditujukan kepadanya. Di sisi lain, Jokowi menggunakan bahasa yang lebih abstrak dan bercirikan bahasa tertulis serta menggunakan strategi Appraisal positif terutama yang ditujukan pada program dan rencana kerja pemerintahannya di tengah pandemi Covid-19. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pilihan leksikogramatikal individual yang berbeda dapat menghasilkan representasi dan citra yang beragam.Kata kunci: leksikogramatika, metafungsi, metafora gramatikal, appraisal

This study aims to investigate users' thoughts and experiences concerning the stress in a neighbourhood park in Petaling Jaya. A questionnaire survey is distributed to the park users’ to identify their stress level and response to the neighbourhood park’s current condition. The findings involved the relationship between a neighbourhood park and stress survey and stress score with park features. As a recommendation, a comparison between two different case studies in terms of geographic and demographic factors may lead to more findings in future studies in assisting the development of the neighbourhood park and promoting healthy lifestyles in reducing stress.

This study deals with the production of zinc silicate thin films employing a solid-state reaction at temperatures ranging from 300 °C to 560 °C, to develop new inorganic, n-type materials with seemingly incompatible properties as low work function, high mobility, and high visible transmittance. Depending on a careful reaction control, zinc silicates can preserve reagents (silicon and/or ZnO) as nanoaggregate guests, exhibiting tunable light absorption and emission properties that make them useful for different applications, e.g., LED phosphors, photovoltaic windows, mesoporous photocatalytic materials for solar fuel production, etc. The main aim of this work is to obtain a zinc silicate single-phase and then determine its dielectric properties through ellipsometry. Simultaneously, as an example of application, a p-n photovoltaic junction is fabricated that exhibits a remarkable collection of photo-generated charge carriers at very high bandgaps (>2 eV). The obtained results are promising in tailoring the zinc silicate guest-host composition (appropriate Si nanostructures sizing and quantity, improved charge carrier transport properties due to the simultaneous presence of bulk zinc oxide islands) in the function of the desired application, and taking into account that proposed selected low-temperature fabrication process is strategic for safeguarding the underlying junctions of tandem devices.

Background

With the growing stress on hospitals caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for home-based solutions has become a necessity to support these overwhelmed hospitals.

Objective

The goal of this study was to compare two nonpharmacological respiratory treatment methods for home-isolated COVID-19 patients using a newly developed telemanagement health care system.

Methods

In this single-blinded randomized clinical trial, 60 patients with stage 1 pneumonia caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection were treated. Group A (n=30) received oxygen therapy with bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) ventilation, and Group B (n=30) received osteopathic manipulative respiratory and physical therapy techniques. Arterial blood gases of PaO2 and PaCO2, pH, vital signs (ie, temperature, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, heart rate, and blood pressure), and chest computed tomography scans were used for follow-up and for assessment of the course and duration of recovery.

Results

Analysis of the results showed a significant difference between the two groups (P<.05), with Group A showing shorter recovery periods than Group B (mean 14.9, SD 1.7 days, and mean 23.9, SD 2.3 days, respectively). Significant differences were also observed between baseline and final readings in all of the outcome measures in both groups (P<.05). Regarding posttreatment satisfaction with our proposed telemanagement health care system, positive responses were given by most of the patients in both groups.

Conclusions

It was found that home-based oxygen therapy with BiPAP can be a more effective prophylactic treatment approach than osteopathic manipulative respiratory and physical therapy techniques, as it can impede exacerbation of early-stage COVID-19 pneumonia. Telemanagement health care systems are promising methods to help in the pandemic-related shortage of hospital beds, as they showed reasonable effectiveness and reliability in the monitoring and management of patients with early-stage COVID-19 pneumonia.
