Objective: To review the applicability of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) during the pre, intra and postoperative periods of patients undergoing liver transplantation. Methods: This is an integrative review that seeks to evaluate the indications for the use of ECMO in liver transplantation. As databases, were used: MEDLINE, Web of Science and Scopus, with articles published in the last ten years in English and Portuguese. Results: In this review, 24 papers were included, of which 3 were original articles and 21 were case reports. The studies were divided according to the ECMO application period concerning the liver transplant: one for the preoperative, eight intraoperative and 15 postoperative. It was identified that ECMO use is mainly related to hepatopulmonary syndrome complications. The limited number of studies regarding using ECMO in the preoperative period reflects the importance of hepatic transplant as the main measure to manage liver disease complications. In the intraoperative phase, ECMO usage is expressive in managing cardiopulmonary complications refractory to previous interventions. The use of this mechanism in the postoperative period is the most reported. The main indication is severe hypoxemia secondary to hepatopulmonary syndrome, in which other treatments have been ineffective. The main complications related to this mechanism were sepsis, renal failure and bleeding. Conclusion: ECMO is an important therapeutic modality for managing complications resulting from liver transplantation. However, only some studies in the literature have an adequate sample number to assess its actual efficacy and level of safety.
Performance and meat quality characteristics of male quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) fed diets supplemented with pomegranate seed oil
Authors: SARMIENTO-GARCÍA Ainhoa , GÖKMEN Seyit A. , SEVIM Behlül , OLGUN Osman
Published: January 2023

Aim of study: Pomegranate seed oil (PSO) is a nutritive, antioxidant-rich by-product, and it has been tested as a feed ingredient for livestock. However, studies on quails are scarce. The current study investigated that the effect of PSO on the performance and meat instrumental quality of quails.
Area of study: Türkiye.
Material and methods: A total of 60 seventy-day-old male quails were equally subjected to 3 dietary treatments consisting of 20 birds (5 replicates with 4 birds each). The quails were fed a diet supplemented with 0, 100, and 200 mg kg-1 pomegranate seed oil (PSO). After 10 weeks, two birds per subgroup were randomly selected and slaughtered.
Main results: Supplementation of PSO reduced (p<0.05) feed intake and body weight gain linearly. However, there was no significant effect of PSO on carcass traits. For color parameters, the L* and b* values of breast and thigh meat increased with the addition of PSO to the diet (p<0.05). Cooking losses were highest in the thigh of quails fed 200 mg kg-1 PSO. On the other hand, in the breast, the lowest values for this parameter were observed in the groups that had received 100 mg kg-1 of PSO.
Research highlights: Including 100 mg kg-1 of PSO can improve some meat quality characteristics without affecting performance parameters. There is a possibility that meat quality could be negatively affected by values higher than this. Nevertheless, further research is needed to determine the optimal dose of PSO to improve quail meat quality and its performance.

Authors: Naka Laura
Published: January 2023

Due to the total shutdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, worldwide countries regardless of their development shifted instruction to the online learning method. This study aims to investigate the views of students in undergraduate studies about the impact of online (EFL) English foreign language learning on educational issues and well-being. Through questionnaires and focus group discussions, participants revealed their real sensitivities and views about online EFL learning, thus both quantitative and qualitative research methods are implemented in the present study. Their experiences showed the advantages that supported their needs during a certain period such as the pandemic, but also the challenges they went through during that time. The study presents social and educational implications that are directly related to technology and environmental conditions during online learning that affected the well-being of students. Results showed that shifting to online classes uncovered contradictory preferences among students regarding online learning and teaching. Finally, this study provides an overview, that in case the implementation of online or hybrid learning is requested again in the future, the necessary preparations that meet the educational and social needs of the students should be taken into account.
EFL Iraqi Learners' Pragmatic Failure in English Animal Idiomatic Expressions
Authors: Rushdi Ali E. , Ahmed Samara Mohammad , Ismael Waqqas Saadi
Published: January 2023

This research concerns the pragmatic failure of the Iraqi EFL learners in interpreting the meanings of some sorts of idiomatic expression; namely, animal idiomatic expressions. Regardless of their grammatical formation, idiomatic expressions use tends to be largely dependent upon context. Pragmatic failure is a term which was first coined by Jenny Thomas in (1983) which is defined as the inability to understand what is said by what is intended. Pragmatic failure is of two types: pragma-linguistic and socio-pragmatic failure. As known, the meaning of animal idiomatic expressions vary from culture to culture, because of the difference of norms and principles the culture imposes on the residents of certain place. Pragmatically, the use of idiomatic expressions in English carry a diversity of meanings which learners of other languages will surely fall short in determining the exact intentions of speakers using these expressions as well as having a relation to the culture that the speech community has. The culture pragmatically place a major role too. However, this is due to the fact that idiomatic expressions have indirect speech acts and implicatures bond by the culture of the language that ought to be figured out by the learners. The study hypothesizes that most of EFL Iraqi learners will fail to interpret these expressions and also after putting these idiomatic expressions into their contexts.

Published: January 2023

The purpose of this descriptive study is to investigate the safety precautions and delivery methods for the modular distance learning modality during the COVID-19 pandemic. This empirical study employed a quantitative approach and descriptive research design to address the research problem and questions. The respondents for primary data collection were the junior high school teachers who were identified through a referral sampling technique. The frequency count, percentage, ranking, and Chi-square test for homogeneity and independence were the statistical tools employed in the study. The alpha threshold for all inferential statistics was set at 0.05. The outcomes showed that the safety precautions in the modular distance learning delivery provided equitable and inclusive access to favorable learning environments. Teachers' evaluations of the methods employed in the modular distance learning program revealed that parents were urged to play a significant role as home facilitators. The data analysis revealed that there were significant differences in how the modular distance learning was carried out. According to the findings, there is no conclusive link between the prevention measures and the delivery of the distance learning mode. To strengthen this investigation, additional research is required with a larger focus and new factors.
Studies on the influence of economic policy uncertainty on the growth of the digital economy
Authors: Cao Dongdong
Published: January 2023

This paper outlines a theoretical mechanism for how economic policy uncertainty impacts the growth of the digital economy and argues that this uncertainty will have an incentive effect as well as a selection effect. In light of this, this paper conducts empirical research using panel data of prefecture-level cities and the uncertainty index of China's economic policy created by Baker et al. (2016). (1) Economic policy uncertainty is having a positive impact on the growth of the digital economy, according to the study. (2) The effects of uncertain economic policy on the digital economy vary widely. The promotion of the digital economy is negatively impacted by the uncertainty of economic policy in the eastern and southern regions, as well as in regions with large cities and high levels of economic development, but this impact is minimal or nonexistent in other regions.

Published: January 2023

The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) estimates that the number of diabetics in Indonesia will reach 28.57 million (2045) from 19.47 million (2021). One of the populations that is susceptible to diabetes is the elderly due to decreased organ function. This is a challenge due to the increasing global and Indonesian elderly populations. This study used a cross-sectional design. The subjects of this study were the elderly (≥ 60 years), as many as 158 people with inclusion criteria. Sampling using multistage random sampling technique. Characteristic data obtained from interviews. BMI was obtained from anthropometric measurements (height and weight). Intake of magnesium and zinc was obtained from 2 times food recal 24 hour and SQ FFQ. Fasting blood sugar data obtained from fasting blood sugar examination. Statistical analysis using multiple linear regression. The results showed that the three variables (Magnesium intake, zinc intake, BMI) could have an effect on fasting blood sugar by 7.2%. The model that occurs is GDP = 150.4 + (1.708*BMI) + (-4.16*Intake of Magnesium) + (-0.063*Intake of Zinc). From this model it can be suggested that the elderly consume foods rich in magnesium and zinc and control BMI to avoid increasing fasting blood sugar levels.
The Meiji Revolution: 100 and 150 Years Later (Nikolai Konrad and the Paradoxes of His “Progress”)
Authors: Meshcheryakov A. N.
Published: January 2023

Using the example of the article “The Centenary of the Japanese Revolution” (1968) by the outstanding Japanologist Nikolai Konrad, the author examines his understanding of the “Meiji Revolution”. Holding on, by and large, to the Marxist views on history, Nikolai Konrad turned out to be surprisingly close to “bourgeois” historians in understanding the Meiji Revolution. The “bourgeois” and Soviet historians (including Konrad himself), who were in conflict relations, consistently qualified the Meiji Revolution as a “progressive” (positive) event that introduced Japan to the “world” (i.e., Western and the only one possible) civilization. Marxist and “bourgeois” thinkers differed in their assessment of the future (whether or not communism was the highest stage of progress), but their view of the Japanese past showed amazing unanimity. The keenness on the theory of progress was so allembracing that Nikolai Konrad’s assessments of specific historical phenomena of the Tokugawa period demonstrate outright error and bias. None of the “advanced” European countries could boast of such a long-lasting social peace as that which we observe in the Tokugawa period, which, however, did not prevent Konrad (as well as other Western historians) from branding the Tokugawa rule as “reactionary” and “stagnant”.

Published: January 2023

This work aims to understand the determinants of the prices of corn and soybean futures traded on the Brazilian Stock Exchange (B3) based on the influence of international commodity prices on domestic prices. Using a theoretical model developed by Mundlack and Larson (1993) that considers the one-price law hypothesis, we estimate the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bounds test for cointegration (Pesaran et al., 2001), who tested the existence of a long-term relationship between the variables, as well as short-term influences. The database comprises the period from February 2011 to December 2019 and corresponds to the prices of corn and soybean futures contracts traded on the Brazilian Stock Exchange; and corn, soybeans and oil traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, in addition to incorporating in the analysis the Brazilian macroeconomic variables exchange rate, inflation and GDP. The main results showed a long-term relationship between domestic prices, the exchange rate, and international prices negotiated in the United States for both commodities. Soybean prices are mostly affected by international prices in comparison to corn prices. In the short term, we found that soybean prices are affected by trading prices of the same commodity in the United States.
The Letter of Tsar Peter I to Sultan Ahmed III on the Occasion of the End of the Northern War. Introduction, Translation from Ottoman-Turkish and Commentary

Published: January 2023

The Treaty of Nystad signed between Russia and Sweden put an end to the prolonged Northern War (17001721). Russia gained an access to the Baltic Sea, acquired new territories and strengthened its international prestige. In a letter written on September 30 (October 11), 1721, Tsar Peter I informs the Ottoman Sultan Ahmed III about Russian military and diplomatic success. Till nowadays, there is no information about the original letter, but its text has been preserved in translation into Ottoman-Turkish. The contents of the letter reflect the desire of the Russian Tsar, who had just finished a long war, to maintain good-neighborly relations with the Ottoman Empire. Being a source on the history of Russian-Turkish diplomatic relations, the letter is also an example of the Ottoman-Turkish language of the first half of the 18th c.

Legal Protection in the Context of International Exchange of Information upon Request between Tax Authorities

Countries are increasingly using the method of international exchange of information to share information about taxpayers between countries. Both in an EU and OECD context, the legal basis for such information exchange has been broadened significantly in recent years. However, the legal protection for parties affected by such international information exchange does not seem to keep pace. In this article, we discuss the legal protection against the exchange of information on request. We conclude that there is legal protection for information holders who are being ordered to exchange information with their tax authority so that this tax authority can fulfil a request to exchange information with its local counterpart based on the EU administrative cooperation directive (DAC). If the information holder is also the taxpayer being investigated by the requesting EU Member State, it is not clear whether legal protection exists. In situations where information is exchanged on non-DAC basis, like for example, based on a tax treaty or a tax information exchange agreement (TIEA), there is no case law that stipulates any legal protection. Against the actual exchange of information from a state to another state no minimum standard of legal protection exists. Furthermore, we give a brief overview in this article of the legal protection according to Dutch law and give suggestions for a framework for legal protection.
Exchange of Information in the Field of Indirect Taxes

Exchange of Information in the Field of Indirect Taxes

In a world where globalised operations are the norm rather than the exception, tax authorities struggle to keep up. With numerous businesses and likewise a lot of tax payers it is difficult to deal effectively with those pretending to be above the (tax) law. In line with the adage ‘knowledge is power’ and by way of cooperation between tax authorities, a joint battle is fought to combat tax evasion and avoidance. Information exchange is one of the means available to tax authorities to collect, share and act on information to secure tax revenues. This is also the case for indirect taxes. This contribution examines the development of legislation governing information exchange to prevent tax revenue loss in the field of indirect taxes. Within this field, VAT is especially interesting as certain persistent types of fraud prove difficult to combat. Missing Trader Intra-Community fraud is the prime example of this. The key characteristics of this fraud are further examined. A better understanding of fraudulent activities that information exchange aims to prevent provides more nuanced views on far-reaching regulatory provisions governing information exchange. One implication of the information disadvantage tax authorities face is that there is hardly any provision protecting the legal position of tax payers. An appeal system, providing tax payers with the opportunity to object to collection and exchange of their information, is lacking. It remains to be seen whether this is in line with the principle of proportionality when technological developments eliminate the information disadvantage of tax authorities.

Tax Cooperation and Exchange of Information

The article analyses the fragmentation that currently characterises the interstate tax cooperation environment. This also has repercussions for the functioning of national tax systems and taxpayer protection. The Italian experience is contextualised therein with an in-depth description and analysis of the international and European framework that accentuates the various evolutionary paths and reasons behind cooperation. In particular, the focus is on the issue of the circulation of evidence that is characterised in the Italian legal system by an additional level of fragmentation. In conclusion, elevating some standards already present at the European level is proposed in order to begin a process of piecing it together.

The Contribution of Trust to the Practical Implementation of VAT E-commerce Rules

The aim of this article is to explore the role of trust in the regulatory interorganisational relation between the Member States regarding the practical implementation of the Council Regulation on administrative cooperation regarding VAT e-commerce. The effective practical implementation of the VAT e-commerce rules depends on active cooperation, which requires trust, between the Member States. Research on the impact of a lack of trust between the Member States on the practical implementation of the VAT e-commerce rules is needed, on the one hand, because this impact is not sufficiently discussed in the literature, and, on the other hand, because this impact is not adequately addressed by either the Member States or the European Commission. This article shows how trust literature could be useful to enhance the practical implementation of the VAT e-commerce rules. The implications of trust literature could help to improve trust between the Member States, which could enhance the practical implementation of the VAT e-commerce rules. Furthermore, this article shows that some aspects remain underexposed, e.g. the influence of Member States’ sovereignty on the level of trust and cooperation and what technology could mean for creating a positive trust-building process. The article is a preliminary analysis. Further research on this topic is necessary.

The purpose of this study is to obtain empirical evidence regarding the effectiveness of audit committees and the quality of external auditors on the possibility of fraudulent financial statements. The population in this study are banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The method used in this study is a quantitative method using secondary data which is measured using ratios and statistical processing. The research results show that the audit committee effectiveness variable partially does not significantly influence the possibility of fraudulent financial reporting. The reason underlying the results of this study is that the independence contained in the audit committee has not contributed to avoiding the likelihood of fraudulent financial reporting in a company. External auditor quality does not significantly influence the possibility of fraudulent financial reporting. This is because most companies use the services of non-Big Four Audit Firms to audit their financial statements. Simultaneously, it can be stated that the effectiveness of the audit committee and the quality of the external auditors significantly influence the possibility of fraudulent financial reporting. It is also concluded that the predicting power of the model is high.
Religiosity, gender attitudes and women's labor market participation
Authors: Haq Mirajul , Ali Asghar , Ahmad Iftikhar , Sajjad Wajeeha
Published: January 2023

Purpose: This study examines the impact of religion on female labor market participation and tests the hypothesis that under a specific belief pattern, female time allocation to labor market participation should vary systematically with the change in religiosity level.

Design/Methodology/Approach: The study uses a primary data set of 320 female respondents. The binominal logit model is used to estimate a categorical dependent variable.  

Findings: The results suggest that religious women are less willing to participate in the labor market.

Conclusion: There are three different outcomes from the analysis scheme. First, the composite index of female religiosity signifies its negative impact on their labor market participation. Second, the findings of the study reveal that females with relatively higher religious education are less willing to participate in the labor market. Third, females are less willing to participate in the labor market when the head of the household is more religious.

Research limitations: A larger sample is believed to help in better generalization.

Practical implications: Religion shapes human behavior which subsequently influences their economic decisions. Our findings reveal a positive association between females’ formal education level and their labor market participation. This entails a government policy to facilitate women in enhancing their education level. Moreover, mainstreaming the religious educational institutes and their curriculum will resolve the misconceptions.

Published: January 2023

The evolution of FinTech companies in banking sector has shifted the way of providing banking services. Utilizing the power of innovative technologies like machine learning, artificial intelligence, etc. these FinTech companies have captured the financial market. Now they are moving toward the core business segment of banks i.e., lending. Fintech lending covers all the credit activities performed over the internet via a digital platform or web.  FinTech companies provide digital platforms to lenders for providing credit facilities. Recently, the credit through FinTech companies has shown rapid growth in terms of new loan accounts as well as amount disbursed. This paper has analysed the growth of FinTech credit based on the data of 119 companies from 2019 to 2021 and it was found that the both number of new loan accounts and credit disbursed have grown with 51% and 42% respectively. The FinTech credit portfolio outstanding was also 16% Y-o-Y growth. With rising trend, the FinTech has highest delinquency rate after Public sector banks. However, while comparing with the volume and value of credit through schedule commercial banks in India, FinTech credit is far behind the SCBs and it will take lot of times and support of regulatory authorities & government to come parallel to SCBs.

Published: January 2023

Marine mammals are very diverse because of the oceanographic conditions of Mexican waters (where 36% of the current species worldwide are found); however, scientific research on many of these taxa is still at the basic stages. The goal of this study was to assess the scientific information available for these species and to determine research priorities through a GAP (from the acronym "Good", "Average", and "Poor”) analysis. Information from the abstracts of the meetings held by the Mexican Society of Marine Mammalogy (SOMEMMA) and online databases (SCOPUS and Web of Science) between 1998 and 2021 was analyzed using temporal (years), geographic (oceans or states), taxonomic (species), and thematic (topics) classifications. On average, of the 44 species included in the Mexican legislation, only 16 - included in 14 families (with most of the records) - are studied every year, Delphinidae (n = 500; 25.9%), Balaenopteridae (n = 335; 17.4%), and Otariidae (n = 316; 16.4%). The Gulf of California was the most studied region (35.4%), followed by the Northeast Pacific (19.3%), the Gulf of Mexico (15.5%), and the Caribbean Sea (6.9%). The most frequent topics were population ecology (32.9%), conservation (16.7%), and animal health (10.4%). A significant decrease in the taxonomic and thematic diversity of such studies has been noted since SOMEMMA meetings began to be held on a biennial basis. It is noteworthy that marine mammals are protected by Mexican Federal laws. However, stock assessments are not mandatory, therefore biological aspects and trends of several (mostly oceanic) species remain unknown in many places, especially in regions where academic and scientific institutions are not involved in marine science.
Strategies for Mainstreaming Education for Sustainable Development in Education Systems
Authors: Thakore Renuka , Nkuba Michael , Mitchell Sinéad , Kelkar Ashish
Published: January 2023

A meaningful and relevant “Excellence in Education Spaces” is imperative so that future generations can address societal risks. This inevitably requires education to integrate strategies to transform the current approaches and build on sustainability strategies. Education for sustainable development (ESD), considered a pivotal vehicle, is, nevertheless, relegated to science and environmental-related courses at most schools and universities. ESD is treated as one off-topic for discussion, creating an information deficit, implying that a few future leaders get knowledge about sustainability. The practices and attitudes about sustainable development goals (SDGs) are not universal, failing to achieve equitable SDGs. A few purposive studies from engineering were analysed to confirm that the ESD must be mainstreamed in education, allowing future generation delegates to build knowledge capital at the individual and institutional levels, equip future practitioners and decision-makers with strategic capabilities to resolve unforeseeable problems, drive societal transformation, and impact climate change, honouring SDGs
Generating Skills and Abilities Among Traditional Peoples in the Western Amazon

Published: January 2023

This research is the product of a task related to the training and qualification of tribal people for social innovation and sustainability in the Amazon. It seeks to generate competencies and skills while preserving the culture and tradition of traditional peoples in the scenario of the Western Brazilian Amazon; as an effect, it is expected to construct multiplying talents among the peoples of the Amazon Forest through imaginary games, using also information and communication technology for development (ICT4D), if possible.. This work considers the reference of the Ashaninkas for elaborating sustainability concepts, which help improve the quality of life in the various Amazonian tribes. It is proposed to develop indigenous skills through correlation treatment. It is proposed the creation of a scenario, individual and group inclusion, survey of propositions, and monitoring of the development of these skillsusing ICT4D that should be consistent with the culture and tradition of those involved. As a result, it is concluded that the complexity of technical preparation is an innovation, given that there is no task like this published in the annals of events that deal with traditional peoples. However, the need for this task is entirely conceivable, given the accelerated development that oppresses the indigenous people and reduces their food availability.

The article analyzes the image of the modern informational and educational environment, taking into account the participation of different generations. The works of modern scientists and practitioners who investigate various aspects related to the impact of information and communication technologies on the current generation of pupils and students are analyzed. Studies analyzing the overall statistics on the use of information and communication technologies (hereafter ICT) up to the impact of these technologies on the human brain and the creation of new learning strategies are taken into account. The authors analyzed Generation Z in detail, providing the characteristics of the generation that is now being studied, by researchers from different countries. The comparative table shows the positive and negative qualities of representatives of Generation Z.Research analysis shows that the psychological readiness of both students and teachers to use information and communication technologies effectively should be taken into account when planning collaborative work in an information and education environment. Distance learning, which is increasingly used in higher education institutions, entails the need for careful analysis of how to create educational material and how to organize work with students. Accordingly, teachers are expected to take different approaches to teaching Generation Z students. Modern students expect an individual approach to learning. It is important to know where you can find relevant information and how to apply it in practice. At the same time, the article emphasizes that during the distance education of students, the role of the teacher in the didactic process is even more significant than in traditional education.Based on the analyzed sources, the article concludes that the urgent need of today is to create a new model of information and educational environment, which, taking into account changes in society and in the minds of students, will allow the qualitative use of the creative potential of information and communication technologies, without giving up other forms of knowledge acquisition and competence formation.

Authors: Gugliano Alfredo Alejandro
Published: January 2023

En esta nota se presentan algunos de los aspectos más relevantes de las elecciones brasileñas de octubre de 2022, unas elecciones que fueron contestadas por grupos políticos de extrema derecha que, hasta hace poco, exigían no solamente la anulación de sus resultados, sino también una intervención militar en el país. Sumado a este hecho, las elecciones supusieron el retorno del Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT) y de Lula da Silva a la presidencia, uno de los principales líderes de la izquierda latinoamericana. Por otro lado, representaron un fortalecimiento de sectores conservadores en el Congreso nacional, así como en las gobernaciones regionales. A continuación, se subrayan los principales puntos que permiten explicar los resultados electorales para la presidencia de la República, y se finaliza señalando algunas cuestiones problemáticas para el futuro de la democracia en el país.

Introdução: O novo coronavírus (COVID-19) é uma doença que se disseminou a nível mundial gerando um grande problema de saúde pública, que ocasionou diversos transtornos, principalmente no início de 2020, auge da propagação do vírus. Em alguns casos a infecção pelo vírus apresentava maiores riscos, sendo eles em indivíduos com idade avançada, sexo masculino, histórico de tabagismo e comorbidades, entre as quais, o câncer, e sobretudo um conjunto de fatores patológicos característico dessa doença. Objetivo: Realizar uma análise na literatura sobre aspectos relacionados as neoplasias malignas em tempos de Covid-19 e a importância dos cuidados intensivos ao paciente oncológico.

Foram incluídos estudos disponíveis na íntegra no idioma português, espanhol e inglês, entre 2020 à 2022, excluiu-se da amostra estudos duplicados, incompletos e que não abordava a temática proposta. Resultados e Discussão: Como consequência da pandemia da COVID-19, houve o atraso nas cirurgias, devido a questão da priorização por leitos quem estava em estado mais grave da doença tiveram que ceder os leitos da Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI), o mesmo aconteceu com os pacientes oncológicos que dependiam de procedimentos invasivos tiveram um impacto grande, como o adiamento de cirurgias para a remoção de tumores e o atraso no tratamento puderam fazer com que a doença progredisse, diminuindo as chances de cura. Conclusão: Observou-se que os pacientes neoplásicos e aqueles que se submeteram à cirurgia oncológica ao tratamento quimioterápico apresentam maiores possibilidades de infecção pela COVID-19 e o desenvolvimento de sintomas grave da doença, sendo estes mais susceptíveis as manifestações clínicas grave, caso entre em contato com o vírus.
