Different approaches to the treatment of skeletal Class II malocclusion during growth: Bionator versus extraoral appliance
Authors: Rédua Renato Barcellos
Published: May 2020

ABSTRACT Introduction: Class II malocclusion, which has a significant incidence in the population, may compromise facial esthetics and the smile, as well as the masticatory and respiratory functions. Often associated with skeletal abnormalities, it severely affects and compromises quality of life. An accurate diagnosis is fundamental to prepare a treatment plan to correct dental and skeletal anomalies. Objectives: This study discusses treatment alternatives to the correction of Class II division 1 and 2 malocclusion in growing patients, using a Bionator and an extraoral appliance.
Solutions for atypical problems in the incisors area: a transdisciplinary challenge
Authors: Sobral Márcio Costa
Published: May 2020

ABSTRACT Introduction: A significant increase in the number of adults in search of orthodontic treatment has raised a new challenge for orthodontists: the need to interact with other specialties to achieve excellent results, particularly when dealing with smile aesthetics and facial balance. Several factors should be considered to respond to their demand: adequate tooth leveling and alignment, individual tooth proportions between adjacent teeth and their contralateral teeth, shape and natural appearance of each tooth and gingival architecture, which should all be in agreement with facial harmony. Maxillary or mandibular incisors congenitally missing or lost due to caries or trauma and tooth-size discrepancies (Bolton) are some of the important aesthetic challenges for an integrated orthodontic treatment. Objectives: This study describes cases that illustrate the clinical challenges of treating the anterior area, as well as the multidisciplinary strategies required for their resolution. Conclusion: The increasingly frequent multidisciplinary orthodontic treatments of complex cases seem to effectively maximize aesthetic and functional results using a combination of procedures conducted by specialists in related areas, such as Surgery, Prosthetics, Implantology, Restorative Dentistry and Periodontics.
Management of skeletal Class III with facial asymmetry using skeletal anchorage: 4-year follow-up
Authors: Tripathi Tulika , Kalra Shilpa , Rai Priyank
Published: May 2020

ABSTRACT Introduction: Skeletal Class III malocclusion with asymmetry is one of the most difficult problems to correct in orthodontics. A functional shift of the mandible in growing patients may occur accompanying a Class III, due to constricted maxillary arch and occlusal interferences. Studies have indicated that posterior unilateral crossbite develops early and has a low rate of spontaneous correction. It may further lead to development of mandibular and facial asymmetry by growth and displacement of mandible if left untreated in growing patients. Objective: This article reports the clinical case of a thirteen-year-old female patient in CVMI transition stage that had maxillary hypoplasia with a developing facial asymmetry. Results: The case was successfully managed with bone-anchored facemask therapy and with elimination of occlusal interferences with guided occlusion. Reverse twin block in the retention phase maintained the results achieved. Conclusion: A four-year follow-up evaluation revealed successful maintenance of the treatment results.

Published: May 2020

Resumo Introdução: os agentes comunitários de saúde (ACS) são duplamente expostos à violência no trabalho por desenvolverem suas atividades na rua e dentro do domicílio dos usuários do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). Objetivos: identificar casos de violência no trabalho de ACS expressos em uma rede social de convivência virtual, e analisar o uso dessa mídia como fonte estratégica para a vigilância em saúde do trabalhador. Métodos: foram levantadas informações nos sistemas oficiais do Ministério da Saúde e em jornais on-line, postados na fanpage específica da categoria no Facebook, de 2013 a meados de 2017. Resultados: não foram encontrados casos oficialmente notificados pelo Ministério da Saúde (MS), porém encontramos nove registros de violência na fanpage: tentativa de estupro, homicídio, agressão física, assalto, discriminação, ameaça de morte e agressão com arma de fogo. Conclusão: verificou-se o registro de ocorrências de violência no trabalho dos ACS na rede social virtual, indicando novas possibilidades e contextos de expressão de demandas e de comunicação de riscos e agravos à saúde do trabalhador. A fonte mostrou bom potencial para ser utilizada como mecanismo de vigilância à saúde do trabalhador, com ênfase às atitudes desses profissionais frente às violências sofridas e estratégias para seu enfrentamento.
A desesperança do jovem e o suicídio como solução
Authors: Penso Maria Aparecida , Sena Denise Pereira Alves de
Published: May 2020

Resumo O suicídio é uma das três maiores causas de morte entre jovens de 15 a 29 anos no mundo. Compreender este fenômeno tem sido um grande desafio para todos. Por meio de uma revisão de literatura, este artigo pretendeu avaliar a interdependência entre as complexas relações sociais da contemporaneidade, sua influência na construção identitária dos jovens e a morte intencional como saída para dores emocionais. Por se tratar de um grave problema mundial de saúde pública, os números, mesmo subestimados, são assustadores. Para cada suicídio que acontece, houve entre 10 e 20 tentativas, e cada morte por suicídio afeta emocionalmente outras 60 pessoas próximas à vítima. Conclui-se que o suicídio é um fenômeno social que surge como um pedido de socorro dos jovens à família e à sociedade, uma vez que os eventos que ocorrem na exterioridade das frágeis relações sociais impactam diretamente na formação da subjetividade do ser.

Published: May 2020

Resumo A divisão sexual do trabalho ainda é marca discriminatória na sociedade brasileira, cabendo às mulheres os trabalhos precarizados e menos valorizados. Ao refletir sobre os temas gênero e educação, o artigo identificou as contribuições do “Meninas velozes”, projeto de extensão e pesquisa interdisciplinar, no enfrentamento a esse cenário, a partir do fortalecimento do aprendizado e de dimensões psicossociais. Tal projeto é conduzido por professoras e pesquisadoras das engenharias, ciências sociais e humanas da Universidade de Brasília (UnB) e da Université Paris 13 (França). Suas ações ocorrem em escola pública na periferia do Distrito Federal desde 2013 e atingiu, nestes seis anos, mais de 100 meninas. Foram aplicados questionários para coleta de dados socioeconômicos e entrevistas semiestruturadas junto a 16 alunas da UnB, egressas do projeto. Seus relatos evidenciaram situações que ameaçam sua permanência e integração na universidade e que fragilizam a saúde mental, como assédio, restrições materiais e conflitos pessoais.

Published: May 2020

Resumo O artigo discute o sofrimento mental e o adoecimento geral da classe acadêmica no Brasil, propondo uma nova abordagem ao tema da saúde mental em dois pilares: de um lado, o Encontro de saberes, projeto implantado na Universidade de Brasília, em 2010, que promove a inclusão de mestres e mestras dos saberes tradicionais (indígenas, povos de terreiro, quilombolas, entre outros), como docentes; de outro, uma reconfiguração das ciências sociais como uma área transdisciplinar e pluriepistêmica capaz de dialogar com os sistemas de cura desenvolvidos pelos mestres e mestras tradicionais, que incluem relações com todos os seres vivos (plantas, animais, fenômenos da natureza). O Encontro de saberes da cura faria um diálogo das ciências sociais transdisciplinares antropocêntricas com as ciências tradicionais cosmocêntricas. O texto foi elaborado a quatro vozes: três de acadêmicos da UnB, da UFF e da UFRJ, e uma líder religiosa do candomblé Angola de Belo Horizonte (MG), Makota Kidoiale.

Published: May 2020

Resumo O objetivo deste texto é analisar como o direito à participação é conceituado e como se expressa nos serviços públicos de saúde na realidade brasileira e portuguesa. Para este fim, o artigo desdobra-se em três itens: i. reflexão conceitual sobre o direito à participação nos serviços públicos de saúde; ii. análise das referências sobre à participação que constam dos Planos Nacionais de Saúde do Brasil e de Portugal; e iii. análise das formas como a participação se expressa no âmbito legal e institucional nos sistemas de saúde dos dois países. O texto segue uma perspectiva sócio-histórica da participação na saúde, sustentado em referências da literatura sobre o tema. Trata-se de um estudo bibliográfico e documental. Os resultados apontam, no Brasil, uma participação nos espaços institucionalizados - conselhos e conferências - do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) , entendida como forma de democratização do Estado e da sociedade. Já a participação em Portugal, tendencialmente voltada para a melhor informação do paciente (literacia em saúde) e a defesa de seus interesses perante o Serviço Nacional de Saúde (SNS).
A crítica de arte e suas mediações: Mário Pedrosa e a construção de uma plataforma estética concretista no Rio de Janeiro entre as décadas de 1940 e 1950
Authors: Formiga Tarcila Soares
Published: May 2020

Resumo O crítico de arte Mário Pedrosa destacou-se, entre o final de década de 1940 e o início da década de 1950, ao contribuir para a formação de um núcleo de arte concreta no Rio de Janeiro, juntamente com o artista e professor Ivan Serpa. Enquanto Serpa reuniu esses artistas em suas aulas de pintura, debatendo os trabalhos que eram ali apresentados, Pedrosa fez de sua casa um espaço para apresentar as ideias que estava desenvolvendo em sua tese sobre a percepção da forma na obra de arte. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar o papel ocupado por Pedrosa na construção de um projeto artístico, em relação àquele desempenhado por Serpa, atuando como mediador em diversos níveis: apresentando os novos artistas ao público na condição de crítico, e atuando como um “teórico” no interior de um grupo de artistas.
Going Flat: Breast Cancer, Mastectomy and the Politics of Choice
Authors: Bakan Abigail B.
Published: May 2020

Breast cancer, if it advances, is life threatening. It is also widespread. My life was changed when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. There was much that I did not expect, including a hegemonic culture of “breast conservation.” I opted to “go flat” after bilateral mastectomy, resisting reconstruction plastic surgery. A politics of choice—like that demanded for reproductive rights—has yet to find similar resonance in the world of breast cancer treatment. This article considers reconstruction hegemony and the emerging movement to advance the choice to be, in words coined by a pioneering Facebook group, Flat and Fabulous.
Running for the Future: Reproductive Futurity in Canadian Breast Cancer Survivorship Discourse
Authors: Pack Rachael
Published: May 2020

This article critically examines the proliferation of images of youthful breast-cancer survivors within Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation’s (CBCF) promotional materials, explicating how such images of survivorship are inextricably tied up with the (re)production of gender, sexual, temporal, and citizenship norms. Focusing specifically on the 2013 Run for the Future campaign, I trace how the figure of the prepubescent child and narratives of emerging (hetero)sexuality operate to project a vision of the future, which is marked by the inevitability of both breast cancer and fractured nuclear families. I consider how such imaginations of an unstable future are mobilized to promote participation in the Run for the Cure (the philanthropic event promoted by CBCF’s multimedia campaign). Drawing on insights from queer theory, I highlight how the youthful survivor subject is embedded within a discourse of reproductive futurity in which her nascent citizenship is inextricable from her projected motherhood and heterosexuality. I suggest that the campaign constructs breast cancer as a disease that threatens the integrity and continuance of the heterosexual, nuclear family, and thus constitutes an unavoidable risk that must be addressed by citizens in the name of the future. Ultimately, I argue that participation in the Run for the Cure is styled not as a strategy to protect girls and future women, but rather to safeguard an imagined, desired heterosexual future.

Published: May 2020

Kanker kulit melanoma merupakan satu dari sembilan belas kanker yang sering terjadi di seluruh dunia. Kebutuhan akan adanya alternatif zat aktif tabir surya menjadi sangat penting terutama dari bahan alam laut yaitu anggur laut (Caulerpa sp.). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan nilai SPF ekstrak cair anggur laut segar dengan metode ekstraksi yang berbeda. Metode ekstraksi dilakukan dengan dua cara yaitu maserasi dan microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) masing-masing dengan tiga jenis pelarut (etanol, air, dan etanol-air 1:1). Ekstrak cair yang dihasilkan diukur pH dan ditentukan nilai SPF secara invitro menggunakan spektrofotometer UV-Vis. Ekstrak cair anggur laut segar dengan nilai SPF in vitro tertinggi kemudian dianalisis aktivitas antioksidannya menggunakan metode DPPH. Ekstrak cair yang dihasilkan berbau amis, dan berwarna hijau dengan intensitas warna yang berbeda. Interaksi antara perlakuan metode ekstraksi dan jenis pelarut menunjukkan perbedaan signifikan terhadap nilai pH ekstrak cair anggur laut segar. Nilai SPF dari ekstrak maserasi etanol, air, dan etanol-air berturut-turut 0,583; 3,099; 2,911 sedangkan ekstrakMAE 3,807; 5,555; 4,979. Metode MAE menunjukkan nilai SPF in vitro yang lebih tinggi secara signifikan daripada maserasi tanpa melihat perbedaan pelarut.Hasil persentase penghambatan DPPH dari ekstrak MAE dengan pelarut etanol, air, dan etanol-air pada konsentrasi 106 mg/mL berturut-turut 33,85%; 22,99%; 17,44%. Aktivitas antioksidan ekstrak etanol dengan metode ekstraksi MAE lebih tinggi daripada ekstrak dengan pelarut lainnya namun tidak lebih  tinggi dibandingkan dengan asam askorbat sebagai pembanding.

Published: May 2020

Produksi minyak ikan di Indonesia memiliki kualitas rendah dan hanya dimanfaatkan sebagai bahan tambahan pakan ternak. Tingginya suhu dan lamanya ekstraksi memicu pembentukan radikal bebas dan oksidasi pada minyak sehingga memengaruhi kualitas minyak yang dihasilkan. Perbaikan proses ekstraksi mampu menghasilkan minyak ikan dengan kualitas baik. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menentukan suhu dan waktu ekstraksi untuk menghasilkan  minyak ikan sesuai standar IFOS dengan metode dry rendering. Ekstraksi dilakukan pada suhu 50, 60, 70oC dan waktu 1, 2, 3 jam dengan metode dry rendering. Hasil ekstraksi terbaik yaitu pada suhu 50oC, 2 jam dan selanjutnya dilakukan pemurnian dengan proses bleaching menggunakan magnesol XL. Minyak ikan yang dihasilkan memiliki asam lemak bebas 0,08±0,03%, p-anisidin 1,92±0,63 mEq kg-1, total oksidasi 7,48±0,23 mEq kg-1 dan bilangan peroksida 2,70±0,20 mEq/kg. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa minyak ikan memenuhi standar IFOS pada parameter asam lemak bebas (≤ 1,5%), bilangan p-anisidin (≤ 20,0 meq kg-1), total oksidasi (≤ 26,0 meq kg-1) dan bilangan peroksida (≤5,0 meq kg-1).

Published: May 2020

Hiu merupakan salah satu jenis ikan yang berpotensi tercemar logam berat. Hal ini karena hiu memiliki sebaran yang luas dan tergolong ke dalam konsumen tingkat tinggi pada jejaring makanan akuatik. Informasi terkait kandungan logam berat pada ikan hiu hasil tangkapan di Indonesia masih sedikit. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan kandungan logam berat (Pb, Hg, Cu dan Cd) dan batas aman konsumsi daging hiu tikus (Alopias pelagicus) dan hiu kejen (Loxodon macrorhinus) yang didaratkan di Pelabuhan Perikanan Samudera Lampulo, Banda Aceh. Sebanyak sepuluh contoh dari masing-masing daging hiu tikus dan hiu kejen dianalisis kandungan logam beratnya menggunakan metode spektrofotometri serapan atom. Penentuan batas aman konsumsi dari daging hiu dilakukan menggunakan metode maximum tolerable intake (MTI). Hasil penelitian mengungkap dari 20 sampel daging hiu tikus dan hiu kejen yang diperiksa, keberadaan Pb, Cu dan Cd tidak terdeteksi. Sebaliknya, 60% dari total hiu yang diperiksa (baik hiu kejen maupun hiu tikus) terdeteksi mengandung Hg. Kandungan rata-rata Hg pada hiu tikus berkisar antara 0,007– 0,768 mg/kg sedangkan pada hiu kejen berkisar antara 0,030 – 0,708 mg/kg. Batas toleransi maksimum daging hiu tikus yang dapat dikosumsi oleh orang dewasa dan anak-anak dalam waktu satu minggu menurut SNI adalah masing masing sebesar 1,690 kg/minggu dan 0,507 kg/minggu. Sementara itu, batas toleransi maksimum daging hiu kejen yang dapat dikosumsi oleh orang dewasa dan anak-anak dalam waktu satu minggu menurut SNI 7387 adalah masing masing sebesar 2,112 kg/minggu dan 0,633 kg/minggu.
COVID-19 Global Bir Çaba Olarak Yeni Hastalığı Anlamak
Authors: Akçay Arzu , Kınoğlu Kubilay , Özgün Şahin Ayşe
Published: May 2020

COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 which was first reported in Wuhan, China in December 2019, is seen to have left its mark in the history with a global pandemic. As a novel member of the coronavirus family, SARS-CoV-2 represents a new kind of sickness in regard to viral pathogenesis and tissue changes. To comprehend the pathogenicity of the virus totally, one has to follow the pathways which a virus travels and inflicts damage through. What starts out as a simple fever and coughing carries the potential to lead to shock, multi – organ failure and death even in the most unsuspected of cases. When faced with a challenge as contagious, deadly and widespread as this, one should put all the efforts that they have in order to overcome this obstacle. In the case of COVID-19 this cumulative effort has shaped itself into a globalized form. In an attempt to see the wider picture as to the whole pathogenesis of COVID-19,  the medical and scientific society should recall the importance of a fundamental discipline, namely, autopsy. Even though, conducted in small numbers at the time, autopsies of COVID-19 cases have provided the literature with many important information. The role of autopsy in understanding disease, the immune system and pathogenesis is one that should not be disregarded and conversely, should be further developed and praised. The same ideology would apply to COVID-19 and any further pandemics to come.
Estado del arte del reintegro laboral en trabajadores de países latinoamericanos entre 1998-2019
Authors: Vasquez Jimenez Nancy Liliana , Delgado Henriquez Aura Maria
Published: May 2020

Objetivo: realizar estado del arte sobre el reintegro laboral en trabajadores de Latinoamérica entre los años 1998 y 2019.

Métodos: se realizó una revisión narrativa con 27 estudios publicados en PubMed, EBSCO, SCIELO Scientifics Library y CENTRAL of the Cochrane Library. El reintegro laboral fue el criterio de búsqueda, se asoció con ausentismo laboral y legislación en diferentes países.

Resultados: destacaron las revisiones sistemáticas (28.6%) y narrativas (25.0%). Entre los tres aspectos puntuales para la búsqueda, prevalecieron los documentos sobre el proceso de reintegro del trabajador y en las enfermedades/situaciones desencadenantes de la ausencia laboral. A nivel de Latinoamérica, prevalecieron los estudios desarrollados en Colombia (n=10; 35.7%).

Conclusiones: Las enfermedades, accidentes y condiciones laborales están relacionadas con el tipo de actividad laboral desempeñada por los trabajadores. En Latinoamérica y específicamente en Colombia, se percibe un notorio interés por el desarrollo y puesta en marcha de protocolos para el reintegro laboral del trabajador. Es notoria la falta de investigaciones en más países de la región y profundizar sobre los costos que dicha situación acarrea para las empresas.

Published: May 2020

Objective: We conducted this study to compare the psychological effects between diabetic patients taking fast and non-fasting counterparts to better investigate the effects of fasting on mental health of diabetes sufferers.
Materials and Methods: This study was a prospective cohort conducted among diabetic patients. In this study, two types of fasting and non-fasting patients were invited to take part. During One week before and after the Ramadan, all patients were asked to complete 28-scale General Health Questionnaire (GHQ).
Results: In this study, 116 patients who were suffering from diabetes completed the study. They were compared with each other in format of three groups (two fasting and one non-fasting). Mean changes of total and subscales' score were negative in nearly all groups but there were no significant difference between groups. In addition, total and subscale A, B and C scores significantly increased (positive change) but subscale D score didn’t change in fasting patients during this month.
Conclusion: The results of present study revealed that fasting during the whole month of Ramadan can exacerbate patients' general health in comparison with non-fasting patients. However, because we can't determine whether this finding is attributed to fasting regardless of diabetes or has been resulted from the co-existence of fasting and the disease, it is recommended to design a study to compare diabetic and healthy fasting individuals.

Objective: Pioglitazone is one of the oral medications of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of pioglitazone on asthma and diabetes treatment outcomes among patients with concurrent asthma and T2DM.
Materials and Methods: We conducted a quasi-experimental study on 11 patients with concurrent asthma and T2DM in Yazd Afshar Hospital and Yazd diabetic research center 2014-2017. The inclusion criteria were patients between 20-60 years old, at least one year with concurrent asthma and T2DM (documented with spirometer, bronchodilator test), ejection fraction more than 50%. Patients who were smoker, on oral corticosteroids, phenobarbital, methotrexate, rifampin, phenytoin and gemfibrozil were excluded. Laboratory tests (FBS, HbA1c, 2hpp, leptin), spirometer test, exhaled nitric oxide were done before and after 10 weeks of pioglitazone medication. All patients were visited every two weeks. The before and after pioglitazone treatment differences were checked by paired t-test and Wilcoxon Rank sum test.
Results: The mean (± SD) age of participants was 55.81 (±7.66). The median of differences of leptin (p-value: 0.885), FEV1 to FVC ( P -value: 0.185), FEV1 (p-value: 0.386), NO ( P -value: 0.574), FVC percent ( P -value: 0.477), FEV1 percent ( P -value: 0.515) did not differ before and after pioglitazone treatment.
Conclusion: Our finding suggested that pioglitazone may not be effective in the treatment and improvement of respiratory function in T2DM with concurrent asthma.

Published: May 2020

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of moderate to high-intensity aerobic exercise on HbA1c (Glycated hemoglobin), FBS (fasting blood sugar) and cognitive function in mild cognitive impairment prediabetes patients. Materials and Methods: Seventeen elderly mild cognitive impairment (age 55-70) men and women were selected and were randomly divided into 2 groups as aerobic (n=10) and control (n=10). Six subjects were excluded during the study. Finally, 14 subjects were continued the exercise program. Assessments were done at baseline and 12 weeks after intervention. The 12-weeks aerobic exercise program consisted of 90 min sessions in length 3 days per week under the supervision of the exercise specialist. Cognitive function, HbA1c, and FBS were evaluated. The differences in all variables (one way ANOVA), correlation (Pearson single correlation) and relative changes between baseline and 12 weeks (paired T-tests) were investigated. Results: HbA1c, FBS decreased significantly in the aerobic group whereas cognitive function increased significantly after 12 weeks aerobic ( P -value< 0.05 for all). Also, the change of cognitive function was signiﬁcantly associated with a change of FBS (r= -0.84) after a 12-week aerobic exercise ( P -value: 0.011). Differences between groups in HbA1c, FBS and cognitive function (Mini-Mental State Examination) were not significant. Conclusion: Aerobic exercise may improve HbA1c, FBS and subsequently cognitive function in prediabetes elderly subjects. Therefore, a decrease in glycemic indicators could lead to improve cognitive function.
Modulation of Some Insulin Signaling Genes Due to Prenatal Rice Consumption
Authors: Abubakar Bilyaminu , Ismail Norsharina , Abubakar Md Zuki , Ismail Maznah
Published: May 2020

Objective: A clinically observable metabolic disorder often takes its root from modulation of transcriptional factors which in turn are responsible for perturbed protein expressions and their sequelae. Perinatal perturbations due to chronic prenatal exposure to a certain type of rice could predispose parents exposed to such ‘insult’ and their subsequent offsprings to metabolic diseases.
Materials and Methods: We investigated the effect of chronic prenatal exposure to different types of rice (in context of a balanced normal diet and a high-fat diet) on some insulin signaling genes using nulliparous Sprague Dawley rats. The rats were exposed to various predetermined rice diets for 90 days. After returning them to standard chow, they were mated with male rats raised on standard chow. The resulting pups (F1) and dams were sacrificed and their tissues were examined for modulation of genes related to insulin signaling.
Results: Our results show that dams fed with white rice in context of standard diet modulated MAPK 1 , M A F A 1 and S L C 2 A 2 . Also, germinated brown rice prevented dysregulation of MAPK1, and SLC2A2 in both dams and pups exposed to this diet in the context of a high-fat diet. In general, germinated brown rice retarded dysregulations due to high-fat diet exposure while white rice enhanced the dysregulatory effects of high-fat diet.
Conclusion: We conclude that chronic prenatal exposure to a certain type of rice, could be a factor to modulation of some genes related to insulin signaling pathways and that these modulation could be inherited by at least one generation of offsprings.

Published: May 2020

Assessments of naturally occurring radionuclides in soil collected from a tropical rainforest forest of western Ghats, India were conducted. These radionuclides were distributed unevenly in the forest soil. For all soil samples, the terrestrial gamma dose rate and the corresponding outdoor annual effective dose equivalents were evaluated. The activity concentration of 232Th and average outdoor gamma dose rates were found to be higher than the global average which appears to affects Western Ghats environment in general, the radiological hazard indices were found to be within the International Commission on Radiological Protection recommended limits. Hence, obtained results for natural radionuclides in the forest soils were within the range specified by UNSCEAR (2000) report for virgin soils except 232Th.
NIIF y tributación: desafíos y oportunidades para las Administraciones tributarias
Authors: Chávez Luis A.
Published: May 2020

Producto de la adopción de las Normas Internacionales de Información Financiera (NIIF) en Colombia, varios principios para la presentación y medición de los elementos contables han cambiado significativamente en relación con las prácticas que se venían aplicando antes. Esto vuelve necesario que los organismos de control tomen en consideración los diversos impactos. En el caso de las Administraciones Tributarias, es imperativo el análisis y la evaluación de los efectos que la aplicación de las NIIF pueden provocar en aquellos tributos en los que la base imponible se determina tomando como punto de partida la contabilidad –como lo es el impuesto a la renta. En consecuencia, es importante que la normativa tributaria de cada país sea debidamente reformada (o actualizada), para especificar los tratamientos fiscales de los nuevos registros contables por la aplicación de las NIIF. El presente documento recoge la experiencia del autor trabajando como consultor en NIIF para diversas Administraciones Tributarias en sus procesos de actualización y reformas fiscales; también su experiencia en el sector privado trabajando como implementador de las NIIF, y su visión como miembro del SMEIG (Grupo Asesor del Consejo de Normas Internacionales de Contabilidad – IASB). Con un formato amistoso, en un lenguaje claro y con varios ejemplos ilustrativos reales, este trabajo brinda un marco de referencia a las Administraciones Tributarias con la finalidad de afrontar con éxito los desafíos y oportunidades inherentes a este cambio de paradigma, en cumplimiento de las políticas fiscales y promoviendo la competitividad tributaria en los países.

En el año 2009, la IASB emitió las Normas Internacionales de Información Financiera para pymes en procura de resolver la necesidad de tener un estándar para pequeñas y medianas empresas. Justamente Colombia, como país miembro de la OMC y al igual que otras naciones, tomó consciencia de dichas necesidades de estandarización internacional, adoptándo las NIIF en el Derecho interno, particularmente por cuanto sus normas contables vigentes, los decretos 2649 y 2650 del año 1993, comenzaron a quedar al contener preceptos más concentrados en el aspecto transaccional y documental al servicio del Estado, que en los dueños de la inversión y los acreedores externos, en últimas, los verdaderamente interesados en la información financiera. Sin embargo, fue solo hasta el año 2009, por medio de la Ley 1314, que se instauró la convergencia de las normas contables nacionales con las de orden internacional; esta mutación dio como consecuencia que la contabilidad ya no se basara en reglas sino en principios, lo que significó que la información financiera dejara a un lado la formalidad que determinaba el sistema tributario, por la realidad económica, cumpliendo el propósito inicial de su adopción. Son estos principios y criterios subyacentes de las normas internacionales los que constituyen el instrumento necesario e ineludible para la comprensión de las NIIF; precisamente, en el marco de dichas normas y la transformación que implican, resulta determinante la medición a valor razonable, concepto que suple la indeterminación de valor comercial como base gravable en el estatuto tributario.

El presente artículo tiene por objeto determinar si el mar territorial hace parte de la jurisdicción de los entes territoriales y, en este sentido, si tienen competencia sobre los espacios marítimos que hacen parte del territorio nacional y así poder cobrar impuestos por las actividades que se desarrollen en este espacio como quiera que se trata de un bien de uso público que pertenece a la nación, según lo establecido en la Constitución Política.
Milton Friedman y la contrarrevolución keynesiana
Authors: Blanco Luis Armando , Libreros Julián
Published: May 2020

La revolución contra la teoría cuantitativa la hizo Keynes en la década de los treinta dentro de la economía oficial. La contrarrevolución keynesiana la realizó Milton Friedman en la década de los setenta, también dentro del sistema teórico dominante y se conoció con los nombres de Escuela de Chicago, monetarismo o neoliberalismo, términos que nunca le gustaron al propio Friedman. En el artículo se analizan algunos aspectos fundamentales de este gran cisma intelectual en la economía, en torno a la economía monetarista, la crítica a la curva de Phillips, la política monetaria y su explicación sobre los determinantes de las crisis económicas, especialmente el Gran Crac de 1929, para contrastarlo con la crisis de 2008.

Authors: Thach Liz , Olsen Janeen
Published: May 2020

The purpose of this research study was to describe motivations and demographics of luxury wine buyers in the US market. An online survey was completed by 1081 US wine consumers, of which 473 were designated to be luxury buyers based on price spent on wine. Standard demographic and wine consumer scales were utilized for profiling. Results show that the luxury wine buyer is more likely to be male, aged 30 to 50, with a higher income and education level. Motivations of the luxury wine buyer are different than the non-luxury wine buyer, and reasons for purchasing luxury wine go beyond mere collecting. This research is one of the first to analyze the luxury wine consumer in the US market, and provides useful information for wine marketers and researchers on the profile of the luxury wine buyer in America.

The bets of the country in relation to the agricultural sector-SA, are directed in the pursuit of their entrepreneurship. In the Department of Caquetá, the SA has been contributing 16% to its GDP in the last four years. However, the low levels of competitiveness of the SA, the high levels of imports of finished products afflict the sector. Following the policy of the government of entrepreneurship, and taking into account the little advancement of the SA of Caquetá in this order, the different guilds were consulted about the guidelines for this process to be carried out in the region. The work was carried out in the municipality of Florence, linked to the different trade union organizations and the tools used were archive archiving and interviews. The conditions for entrepreneurship, the perception of the guilds about it, and the characterization of the present and determining actors in the territory for the process to be successful were known. Among the main conclusions stands out the interest of the unions for the bets of minority products, secure access to markets and the need for transformation and preparation of finished products

Abstract: In the present work, the effect of different salt concentrations on growth and quality of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) was investigated using ground-based remote sensing techniques under greenhouse conditions in 2018. The experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design with three replications and lasted 8 weeks in total. Spectroradiometer measurements were performed on the leaves of rosemary plants to monitor changes in spectral signatures due to salt stress. Spectrophotometer and chlorophyll meter measurements were also taken from the leaves of the plants to investigate the reactions to salt stress at the end of 4th and 8th weeks simultaneously with all other measurements. According to the obtained data, there was a significant difference in the chlorophyll, brightness and colour values of the leaves in response to salt stress, and a difference was observed in the reflective values of the plants in the spectral measurements taken at 4th and 8th weeks. The region with the biggest difference between reflectance values was near-infrared among different salt concentrations applied plants. In the 4th week, the most vivid color (intense green) was obtained in the S3 and S4 applications, (19.80 and 19.40, respectively). However, as the stress application time and the applied salt rate increased, small changes in plant color occurred. Besides, it was concluded that salt treatment increased the NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) values of the plants.﻿

Published: May 2020

[English]: Self-regulated learning and learning styles are two of the various factors which contribute to students' achievement in learning at each level of education, including mathematics teacher education. This study examined the self-regulated learning of prospective mathematics teachers (PMT) with different learning styles (visual, auditory, kinesthetic). It involved 66 PMTs who enrolled on a linear program course in the 4th semester. Data were collected through a questionnaire, a test, and a semi-structured interview. The test was used to select PMTs who have high mathematics ability as the subjects. They were provided with the questionnaire to examine their fulfilment of cognition, motivation, behaviour, and context in the four stages of self-regulated learning. The interview was administered to confirm and thoroughly explore subjects' responses in the questionnaire. The results of the questionnaire and interview were qualitatively analyzed. This study found that PMT with different learning styles fulfils four aspects of self-regulated learning in the stage of (1) planning, forethought, and activation, (2) monitoring, (3) control, and (4) reaction and reflection in different extent, preference, and strategies. The differences are possibly affected by their different learning styles.

Performing Arts Medicine--Past, Present and Future
Authors: Manchester Ralph A
Published: May 2020

We have a lot to be proud of as we look back on the last three decades, as we look around at what is happening in the field of performing arts medicine now, and as we look forward to the potential that the future holds. From the early 1980s, when Dr. Brandfonbrener decided it was time
to focus on improving the health of musicians by organizing the first Aspen meeting, to the first issue of this journal and the founding of the Performing Arts Medicine Association over the next 5 years, the founding of the International Association for Dance Medicine and Science in 1990,
and the Health Promotion in Schools of Music initiative in the last decade, performing arts medicine has enjoyed steady growth. As we work to design the future of performing artist health, it may be useful to look at a “sister” specialty that got an earlier start—-sports
medicine.
Impact of Body Mass Index on Body Image Dimensions: Results from a Body-Image Questionnaire Designed for Dancers
Authors: Milavic Boris , Miletic Alen , Miletic Durdica
Published: May 2020

This investigation was conducted to test the reliability and validity of the Multidimensional Body Image Questionnaire (MBIQD) designed for dancers. The newly constructed MBIQD was administered to 393 female and male participants (average age 21.8 yrs) from three European countries
(Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Serbia). The scale consisted of 43 items in a 5-point response scale. Factorial analysis yielded eight factors (attractiveness, strength, joy, bad health/weakness, flexibility, body efficacy, nervousness, and masculinity) and explained 56.6% of the total
variance. The internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha) of the items assigned to each of the eight MBIQD subscales was high and satisfactory (from 0.71 to 0.89). The second aim was to identify gender differences within the MBIQD subscales. According to independent-sample t-tests, female
dancers showed significantly higher results on the MBIQD scales of joy and flexibility, while male dancers scored significantly higher on the masculinity scale. The third aim was to identify differences between the group of dancers defined by body mass index (BMI) and the eight MBIQD subscales
separately by gender. According to the Wilks test, there was a significant multivariate effect for female subjects (F = 2.06, p <0.01) and for male subjects (F = 3.05, p <0.00). According to post-hoc Fisher LSD test, significant differences in BMI groups among female dancers were found
in attractiveness, strength, and masculinity MBIQD scales, while the male dancers, divided by BMI, showed significant differences in bad health/weakness, body efficacy, and flexibility MBIQD scales. This is the first research that has reported specific gender differences in body image self-perception
among dancers.
