Circular Economy and Relationship-Based View
Authors: Casalegno Cecilia , Civera Chiara , Mosca Fabrizio , Freeman R. Edward
Published: October 2020

In this paper, we provide early insights about a rethinking of the dominant logic of circular economy (CE) systems, which are described by the literature as still too strongly focused on the circularity of physical resources primarily for economic and environmental benefits. We could observe that the traditional narrative of the CE is being challenged by new strategies that include the relationships among stakeholders and the reallocation of stakeholder roles. This is even more evident in the current health crisis, COVID-19. Circular economy can have higher integrated impacts beyond the mere economic and environmental spheres if it is conceptualized as an open and dynamic loop of relationships, where stakeholders’ power, roles and responsibilities overlap and converge into an emergent joint-value creation process.
Comportamiento de compra y productos de bioseguridad durante la pandemia
Authors: Villegas-Macías Fidel Alejandro
Published: October 2020

En la actualidad el mundo ha presentado un gran giro dentro de sus comportamientos comerciales y adquisitivos, puesto que en el contexto de productos e insumos cómo equipos de protección personal, los cuales anteriormente sólo eran utilizados en ciertos sectores muy puntuales, tales como en ámbitos industriales, medicina, entre otros, puesto que preservan la bioseguridad de una persona, han sido adoptados como productos esenciales que conforman las bases de la denominada nueva normalidad originada a partir de la pandemia del covid-19. por eso analizar el comportamiento de las personas al momento de comprar estos productos de bioseguridad es uno de los puntos más importantes, además de comprender cómo esta demanda crea un nuevo mercado y examinar si se están adquiriendo los productos con una calidad específica para los mismos o si sólo se está adquiriendo productos por una demanda que es impulsada por la crisis sanitaria vigente.

Palabras Clave: Pandemia, Equipos de protección personal, productos de bioseguridad, consumismo en épocas de Covid-19.
On a Computational Approach to Micro- and Macro-modelling of Damage in Brittle and Quasi-brittle Materials
Authors: Vala Jiri , Kozak Vladislav , Jarosova Petra
Published: October 2020

Computational modelling of damage in brittle and quasi-brittle materials needs some coupling between micro- and macroscopic crack initiation and evolution, up to their non-negligible softening behaviour. Most such approaches contain ad hoc evaluations, with some physical and engineering motivations, namely those connected with massive application of steel fibre-reinforced concrete and similar composites in building projects, but without any proper mathematical existence and convergence analysis for the time development of damage. This paper presents a possibility of such deterministic analysis on a selected model problem of structural dynamics, supplied by comments to useful directions of generalization. Several application examples document the feasibility of such approach, up to its software implementation and real data validation.

O agente etiológico pertence ao complexoSporothrix schenckii. O tratamento para esta infecção, com os medicamentos atualmente disponíveis, é longo e muitas vezes ineficaz por falta de adesãoàmedicaçãode escolhaou até mesmo por resistência do fungo aos antifúngicos disponíveis. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar in vitroo potencial do óleo essencial de Citrus limon, do óleo essencial de Melaleuca alternifoliae do extrato da folha de Psidium guajavacomo fármacos naturais para inibição do crescimento de Sporothrix schenckii e por fim comparar a eficácia desses substratos naturaiscom o antifúngico sintético mais utilizado no tratamento da doença, o itraconazol. Os métodos utilizados na pesquisa foram o de disco difusão em ágar e o ensaio da concentração inibitória mínima (CIM). Os testes realizados demonstraram que os óleos essenciais e o extratoestudadoforameficientes parainibir o crescimento fúngico superando até mesmo oitraconazol,utilizado como controle experimental.Os dados obtidos permitem sugerir que os óleos essenciais e o extratotestadospodem ser utilizados como tratamento alternativo ou possivelmente para complementar o tratamento convencional, sendo necessários mais estudos in vivopara confirmar essa afirmação.

O presente relato visa descrever os achados macroscópicos e histopatológicos de um canino com mielolipoma em glândula adrenal esquerda. Tumores de glândula adrenal são neoplasias frequentes em cães, porém mielolipomas são geralmente encontrados em bovinos ou primatas sendo infrequente em outras espécies. Um cadáver de um canino, sem raça definida, com diagnóstico clínico de doença renal aguda foi encaminhado ao Laboratório de Patologia para a realização da necropsia. Na abertura da cavidade abdominal foi encontrada uma massa crânio-medial ao rim esquerdo que circundava o hilo renal. O rim esquerdo apresentava leve aumento de volume. A massa foi diagnosticada microscopicamente como Mielolipoma e no rim esquerdo foram encontradas alterações que sugeriam isquemia renal. O diagnóstico de mielolipoma de adrenal foi considerado um achado incidental de necropsia, sendo a causa da morte deste canino uma doença renal bilateral de origem não determinada. Porém, apesar deste tumor não estar relacionado ao óbito do animal lesões compatíveis com isquemia no rim esquerdo foram encontradas, demonstrando, que tumores benignos de adrenal, como o mielolipoma, podem gerar lesões por compressão no rim.

Published: October 2020

Tendo em vista que a perda da privacidade, e, consequentemente, o aumento da vigilância é um dos problemas causados pela Internet, esse precedente jurídico parece ser um ganho para a sociedade contemporânea: o direito de ser esquecido, o direito de esquecer, o direito de preservar a sua privacidade de uma vigilância cada vez mais constante. Nesse sentido, este artigo tem como objetivo principal analisar a relação entre a internet, a vigilância e o esquecimento. A partir dessas questões, acredita-se que é preciso criar esses espaços de esquecimento na sociedade digital, para que se possa desenvolver um conhecimento através de um movimento crítico e dialético.

Authors: Augé Marc
Published: October 2020

Decía Borges que clásico no es el libro que “posee tales o cuales méritos”, sino aquella obra a la que cada generación otorga un significado especial. En este tiempo de incertidumbre los textos recogidos en este libro son clásicos en ese sentido, por sus potentes mensajes. Notas al margen es el fruto de charlas y conferencias magistrales que ofreció Marc Augé en varias universidades iberoamericanas, entre ellas la Universidad de Cuenca y FLACSO Ecuador. Nos llegan gracias a Pedro A. Cantero e Israel Idrovo Landy, del Centro de Etnografía Interdisciplinaria KALEIDOS, quienes las compilaron y tradujeron motivados por divulgar, desde el Ecuador, la fecunda obra de Augé. Las reflexiones abarcan disímiles temas: los derechos, la historia, la memoria, la sobremodernidad, el espacio, la naturaleza… Así, Augé nos conduce a ese retiro interno donde dialogamos con nuestra mismidad, observamos que la vida está hecha de esencias y hojarascas, que en nuestro interior anidan las repuestas necesarias para trazar el camino hacia afuera. Esta obra sobre lo humano en el mundo global será uno de esos libros que, como vaticinaba Borges, las generaciones leerán con “previo fervor y misteriosa lealtad”.

Dalam penelitian ini akan menggambarkan dan menganalisa mengenai sistem perkawinan dan pewarisan mengenai masyarakat hukum Adat Rejang di Provinsi Bengkulu. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan normatif, yang dilakukan dengan cara mengadakan penelusuran studi bahan pustaka baik bahan hukum primer, sekunder dan tersier guna memperoleh jawaban mengenai perkawinan dan pewarisan pada masyarakat hukum Adat Rejang. Data yang diperoleh dalam penelitian ini kemudian dianalisis dengan menggunakan analisis kualitatif yang menghasilkan data deskriptif analisis, dalam penelitian ini analisis kualitatif dilakukan dengan metode berpikir deduktif induktif dan sebaliknya untuk mendeskripsikan mengenai sistem perkawinan dan pewarisan pada masyarakat hukum Adat Rejang di Provinsi Bengkulu. Hasil Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa bagi suku bangsa rejang, upacara perkawinan merupakan tempat untuk menunjukkan kekuatan (baik harta maupun besarnya jumlah keluarga) sekaligus merupakan tanda kesucian. Upacara perkawinan merupakan upacara terakhir yang diselenggarakan oleh orang tua terhadap masing-masing anaknya. Bisa juga dikatakan sebagai upacara “melepaskan hutang” kewajiban orang tua terhadap anak. Dalam sistem perkawinan Adat Rejang, suku Rejang menganut sistem perkawinan eleutherogami. Hal ini dapat dilihat dari tidak adanya keharusan atau larangan seperti sistem perkawinan endogami dan sistem perkawinan eksogami. Masyarakat Adat Rejang memiliki sistem kewarisan mayorat dimana penguasaan tunggal atas harta peninggalan ditangan anak tertua laki-laki. Bila anak tersebut menjual atau menggadaikan harta warisan yang belum dibagi, bukan arena suatu kewenangan yang sah, maka tindakan tersebut bisa dituntut oleh saudara-saudaranya yang lain karena pada prinsipnya setiap indvidu memiliki hak mewaris dari harta orang tuanya. Namun dalam perubahannya saat ini, ada pula dalam pembagian warisan pada masyarakat Adat Rejang dilaksanakan dengan sistem pembagian secara individual, yaitu harta warisan dibagi-bagi pada masing-masing individu sebagai ahli waris dan untuk kemudian hari akan berada pada penguasaan dan pengelolaan masing-masing individu ahli waris.
Payments Systems in the NHS
Authors: Jenkins Paul , Maheswaran Akeeban
Published: October 2020

Finance within the NHS is poorly understood by clinicians and the limited engagement of clinical leaders in finance decisions is recognised as a common pitfall in recent inquiries such as the Francis report1 and recent King’s Fund report into financial failure2. The complexity and rapidly changing landscape of financing systems in place across the NHS on a background of complex and transient organisational structure makes it challenging for the patient focused clinician to achieve a working knowledge of finance. This article will discuss various payment mechanism and explore their advantages and disadvantages and then discuss how they have been used on their own or in combination to fund healthcare organisations. In order to provide context for clinicians, we will discuss how the payment contracts influence day to day health service practice.
A Critical Presentation of the Three Kierkegaardian Spheres of Human Existence

Published: October 2020

It is an apparent danger in the existence of the modern man that abstraction is substituted for reality. The truth of the uniqueness of each man and the various situations of life where one cannot but make a personal choice and decision, compel man the need to authenticate his being. It is then pertinent at this time, when there is not only a loss of personal identity but more still a total flaw of existence in our modern society, to pinpoint what authentic life should be. Hence, a Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard has done a masterly work of authenticating one's existence, becoming an individual instead of being swallowed up in the appraisal of untrue crowd. Precisely, the researcher will apply in this work the philosophical method of critical reflection of Kierkegaardian three spheres of human existence to arrive at the best manner of approach to examine one's life as to live an authentic existence.

Abstract

Objective: To assess knowledge and perception about different aspects of Breast Cancer among health care professionals at Bolan Medical Complex Hospital Quetta, Pakistan.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out at Bolan Medical Complex Hospital Quetta from October to December 2017. A total of 312 health care workers including consultants (42), residents (85), medical officers (52), interns (45), nurses (48) and final year medical students (40) took part in the study. The study tool was a self-designed questionnaire with separate sections to assess the knowledge about risk factors, signs and symptoms, screening tools, breast self-examination (BSE), treatment and barriers in seeking medical advice.

Results: Participants had satisfactory knowledge about risk factors and signs of breast cancer but poor knowledge about association of breast cancer with menarche status, oral contraceptive pills and smoking. Majority was aware of mammography benefits and believed that breast cancer is curable with therapy. All perceived that cultural and socioeconomic barriers are the cause of late stage presentation. The nurses particularly were having misconceptions in knowledge about breast cancer risk factors and screening tools.

Conclusion: The current study demonstrated that knowledge related to breast cancer was average and highlighted the need for provision of continuing medical education programs to improve health practitioners' practice on cancer screening tools. Knowledge was particularly deficient regarding screening modalities and BSE method and timing. Special emphasis is needed to train nurses, so they could play an expanded role in breast cancer care.

Risk factors for conversion to open surgery in laparoscopic cholecystectomy: A single center experience
Authors: Sapmaz Ali , Serdar Karaca Ahmet
Published: October 2020

Objective: This study aimed to demonstrate the demographic characteristics for laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgeries performed in the general surgery clinics of our hospital and to identify the rate of conversion to open surgery and the main reasons for convert to open surgery.

Material and Methods: Medical records of a total of 1.294 patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy in our hospital between October 2013 and May 2017 were retrospectively reviewed, and the rates of conversion to open surgery based on age groups were recorded.

Results: Of these patients, 1191 were females (92.0%) and 103 (7.9%) were males. Mean age was 48.6 ± 13.2 (range: 18 to 89) years. Indications for surgery were cholelithiasis in 1195 patients (92.4%), acute cholecystitis in 56 patients (4.4%), and gallbladder polyps in 43 patients (3.3%). The procedure was conversion to open surgery in 41 patients (3.16%), while 12 (0.9%) developed intraoperative complications. There was no mortality. Mean length of hospital stay was 1.2 (range: 1 to 6) days. The main reasons for conversation to open surgery were as follows: adhesions in the Calot’s triangle (n= 3), acute cholecystitis (n= 29), choledocholithiasis (n= 2), adhesions due to previous surgery (n= 1), dissection difficulty (n= 2), organ damage (n= 2), anatomic variation (n= 1), and stone expulsion (n= 1).

Conclusion: Acute cholecystitis appears to be the significant factor increasing the rate of conversation to open surgery during LC procedures. Male sex and older age are the other factors increasing the risk of con- vert to open surgery. However, LC should be still the first choice of intervention.
ROLE OF DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR RIVER POLLUTION CONTROL
Authors: Pradhan Ajay , Kumar Rai Raveendra
Published: October 2020

Due to continuous population growth and industrialization along with intensive agriculture to meet food demand, good quality water has become rare in most of
the basins of India. Up to the last decade, to solve the water related issues in
India, water quantity and quality were considered individually; and it was
realized that individual consideration of these parameters will not solve the
problem for long term. Therefore, at present, a concept of integrated water
resources management has been encouraged to manage the water resources and
pollution control in the rivers. In the present study, an efficacy of a decision
support system (DSS) has been presented for the Yamuna River to augment the
good quality of water as environmental flows, which include the hydrology,
natural resources, pollution, socio-economics, infrastructural development, etc
of the basin. Using the DSS, numbers of possible scenarios were tested and it is
revealed that installation of sewage treatment plants (STPs) alone cannot
improve the water quality of the river when river is highly intercepted. To ensure
the environmental flows in the river, integrated water resources management has
become important at micro-watershed level
Electrical Resistivity Tomography for Mapping Groundwater Resources in Different Environ
Authors: Rai S.N.
Published: October 2020

A major share of water supply to meet the ever increasing demands for domestic, industrial and irrigation usages is derived from groundwater resources which are distributed over the entire globe. These resources are invisible from ground surface. The need for their delineation with high precision has led to the continuous advancement in the geophysical survey techniques and interpretation theory. Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) is an outcome of such advancement in the conventional electrical resistivity methods used for exploration of this sub-surface natural resource
on the basis of distinctive reduction in the electrical resistivity value of groundwater bearing geological formations/structure in comparison to their host environs devoid of water. Objective of this paper is to present an overview of the application of ERTin delineation of groundwater resources in complex geological setup of problematic
areas, sources of geothermal water, and delineation of groundwater pockets in mining areas in order to prevent natural disasters such as landslide in open cast mines with the help of related case studies. This kind of knowledge about the occurrence of groundwater/geothermal resources is essential to achieve the preset objectives of their management.
Assessment of Groundwater Quality of Bijnor District, India using Water Quality Index
Authors: Singh Surjeet , Kumar Sumant , Chakravorty B. , Singh A. K. , Raju M.
Published: October 2020

In the present paper, geochemical characteristics of groundwater have been studied using Water Quality Index (WQI) and Piper trilinear diagram. The water quality index offers a quantitative representation of overall quality of water for any intended use and helps in pollution abatement programmes and management. Whereas, the Piper diagram shows graphical representation of the hydrochemical facies of a set of water samples. In the present work, twenty-five groundwater samples were collected from various locations in the Bijnor district. The samples were investigated for pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, carbonate, bicarbonate, chloride, sulphate, nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, total hardness, fluoride and trace metals. The Piper trilinear diagram showed ++ - that groundwater of the district is Ca-Mg-HCO type. Ca and HCO were found dominant ions among cations and 3 3 anions, respectively. The WQI was found in the range of 71 to 86, which indicated that the samples fall under the fair to good category. Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) checks were also applied to examine the water quality for the drinking purpose. The results revealed that most of the water quality parameters are within the permissible limits except iron and manganese. Based on the results, groundwater of the Bijnor district needs treatment for drinking purpose for the locations where the WQI is found below 75.

Analisis Dakwah Multikuktural KH. Ahmad Mustofa Bisri Rembang (Konsep dan Metode Dakwah)
Authors: Muhamad Bisri Mustofa
Published: October 2020

Multiculturalism or what is often referred to as cultural diversity is one of the hegemony possessed by the Indonesian nation. However, there are still forms of movement carried out by a religious community to create diversity both in religion and in society, this has resulted in terms of intolerance developing and leading to extremism to replace the ideology of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI). KH Ahmad Mustofa Bisri's multicultural da'wah in the midst of diversity in society, where diversity can give birth to a moredat (balanced) attitude, is fair and chooses to be wise and wise towards something or what is often called moderation (middle attitude). KH Ahmad Mustofa Bisri's approach and method of preaching is a process of social interaction in order to spread Islamic teachings that are rahmatal lil alamin to be implemented in social, cultural and religious life in Indonesia. KH Ahmad Mustofa Bisri (Gus Mus) 's concept and view on multiculturalism strongly recognizes and respects the existence of various cultures and different religions. The multicultural da'wah carried out by KH Ahmad Mustofa Bisri is a mission to create peace and comfort in the midst of Indonesian people with different ethnic, racial, religious, ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Analysis The results of this study are the multicultural da'wah concept and the multicultural da'wah method carried out by KH. Ahmad Mustofa Bisri is through preaching media such as (1) The method of preaching bi al-kalam such as his writings on Facebook, Twitter, books, Springs Websites, paintings and poetry (2) Methods of da'wah bi alkalam / bi al-oral such as lectures - Gus Mus's lectures can be viewed through the YouTube channel, (3) Biological method, this can be seen from the personality of Gus Mus, who is very simple and soothing so that he can be accepted in the midst of a diverse society. The multicultural da'wah carried out by KH. Ahmad Mustofa Bisri has two models, namely (1) a cultural approach as a solution for the community to always live in harmony and side by side between religious communities. (2) A social approach as an effort to solve humanitarian problems together.
Leverage en de toepassing van alternatieve financiële prestatiemaatstaven
Authors: Breijer Ries , van Beest Ferdy , Braam Geert
Published: October 2020

Het rapporteren van alternatieve financiële prestatiemaatstaven (APM’s) door ondernemingen is in de afgelopen jaren sterk toegenomen. In deze studie wordt onderzocht of, en op welke wijze, leverage (de verhouding tussen rentedragende langlopende schulden en de totale activa) en verlieslatendheid invloed hebben op de mate waarin APM’s worden gepubliceerd. Op basis van theorie (signaling-theorie, agency-theorie en opportunisme) en wet- en regelgeving zijn de hypothesen geformuleerd dat er sprake is van een positief verband tussen leverage en de toepassing van leningsconvenant-gerelateerde APM’s en een negatief verband tussen leverage en APM’s die gerelateerd zijn aan de waardering van de onderneming (bedrijfswaardering-gerelateerde APM’s). De hypothesen worden getoetst met data die – door toepassing van een geautomatiseerde tekstanalysator – is verkregen uit de jaarverslagen (2009–2017) van de 600 grootste Europese ondernemingen (STOXX Europe 600). De resultaten tonen dat als de leverage toeneemt meer leningsconvenant-gerelateerde APM’s worden gerapporteerd, terwijl, naarmate een groter deel van de activa is gefinancierd met rentedragend vreemd vermogen, er minder bedrijfswaardering-gerelateerde APM’s worden gepubliceerd. Verder tonen de resultaten dat de context waarin het gebruik van (specifieke) APM’s plaatsvindt van belang is. Meer specifiek, het verband tussen leverage en de rapportering van bedrijfswaardering-gerelateerde APM’s wordt beïnvloed door het wel of niet verlieslatend zijn van een onderneming.
Ongerealiseerde resultaten op transacties met deelnemingen: niet elimineren maar verwerken als minderheidsbelang
Authors: den Hollander Gert-Peter
Published: October 2020

Verslaggevingsstelsels schrijven voor dat ongerealiseerde resultaten op transacties met deelnemingen moeten worden geëlimineerd. Dit artikel bespreekt de methodes in drie verslaggevingsstelsels (Titel 9, IFRS en US GAAP) voor de eliminatie van ongerealiseerde resultaten, en de bezwaren die daarbij kunnen worden onderkend. De thans voorgeschreven methodes geven de economische realiteit van dergelijke transacties slechts gefragmenteerd weer. Dit artikel stelt een alternatieve methode voor die tegemoetkomt aan de geïdentificeerde bezwaren, en de economische realiteit beter weergeeft, door ongerealiseerde resultaten niet te elimineren, maar te beschouwen als minderheidsbelang, en mutaties te verwerken via de bestemming van het resultaat.
Hoe passen verzekeraars scenario’s toe in het kader van de ORSA?
Authors: Nuhn Robbert , Doff René
Published: October 2020

Per 1 januari 2016 moeten verzekeraars uit hoofde van Solvency II een Own Risk & Solvency Assessment (ORSA) maken waarin zij met scenario’s en stresstesten de belangrijkste risico’s analyseren. Dit artikel beschrijft een onderzoek naar hoe verzekeraars scenario’s en stresstesten toepassen. Aan de hand van de literatuur zijn duidelijke processtappen en succescriteria voor het gebruik van scenario’s te onderscheiden. Dit proces wordt overwegend goed gevolgd door verzekeraars en het bestuur is goed betrokken op verschillende manieren. Dat geldt niet voor alle zogenoemde sleutelfuncties: met name de functies interne audit en compliance zijn veel minder betrokken dan bijvoorbeeld de risicomanagement-functie. De tijdshorizon die verzekeraars gebruiken voor hun langetermijnprognose is over het algemeen drie tot vijf jaar, maar er zijn ook verzekeraars die langere termijnen hanteren. Uit onze analyse blijkt dat verzekeraars veel meer leunen op stresstesten dan op scenario’s. Deze laatste worden in de praktijk nauwelijks toegepast in ORSA. Dit is een gemis voor de effectiviteit van ORSA. Wij constateren tot slot dat het feit dat toezichthouders meekijken een mogelijk systeemrisico creëert en dat is vanuit toezichtsperspectief juist onwenselijk.
Using the Eco-Innovation Index to Assess the Eco-Innovation Performance: Case of Slovakia
Authors: LESAKOVA Lubica , LACO Peter
Published: October 2020

Eco-innovation becomes an emerging priority of the European Union (EU) policy. To secure the environmental protection and economic growth eco-innovations have a central role. As the numerous practical examples demonstrate, eco-innovation is a powerful instrument that combines reduced negative impact on the environment and the positive impact on the economy and society. Emphasizing eco-innovation as a means for achieving sustainable development requires information on the performance of main actors, in particular, countries.

Published: October 2020

Abstract. The finding of a partially preserved elk skeleton from the Bavarian Alps is reported. Remnants of an adult male were found, together with skeletal elements of juvenile moose calves, at the base of a talus cone in the pit cave Stiefelschacht, next to Lenggries (southern Germany). The adult's bones exhibited anthropogenic traces like cut marks and were radiocarbon-dated to the Late Iron Age. A projectile hole in the left
shoulder blade and cut marks on the bones are indicative of hunting and
meat usage. The elk remains were associated with several wild and domestic
species such as ungulates and hare but were not, however, accompanied by
archaeological artefacts. Other archaeological sites of the Late Iron Age
are so far not known within a distance of less than 30 km to the
Stiefelschacht. While the presence of elk during prehistoric times in the
Alps has already been known before, the finds and the
location are unique in that they are the first evidence of elk hunting
during the Late Iron Age in the northern Alps.

Published: October 2020

Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma brucei gambiense and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, and transmitted by the tsetse fly (genus Glossina), affects 36 Sub-Saharan African countries with considerable public health impact.  Despite approximately 15,000 infected individuals and 70 million at risk, in recent years the World Health Organization has mentioned removal of HAT from the list of Neglected Tropical Diseases by 2020, due to the decrease in cases over the last two decades. When untreated, the disease presents high lethality rates and the available treatments are complicated to administer, highly toxic, and do not guarantee cure, especially in the advanced stages of the disease. Further, there is no prospect for vaccine development in the near future. The present review compiles information on the history of the clinical aspects of HAT, as well as its epidemiology, diagnosis, therapy, and prophylaxis, as well as updating information on the current panorama and perspectives regarding the disease.KEY WORDS: African Trypanosomiasis; neglected diseases; Trypanosoma brucei.

Teleworking effect on job burnout of higher education administrative personnel in the Junín Region, Peru
Authors: Almonacid-Nieto Jhuliana Mayly , Calderón-Espinal Meluska Alejandra , Vicente-Ramos Wagner
Published: October 2020

This research aims to determine the effect of the adoption of teleworking on the development of job exhaustion of the higher education administrative staff in Junín during the crisis of COVID-19. The applied and correlational research was carried out with the participation of 300 administrative workers of higher education by applying a questionnaire of 40 questions. The results obtained show that having teleworking skills reduces emotional fatigue and depersonalization since the collaborator can self-regulate his behavior when faced with stressors. Likewise, these skills generate a positive effect on personal fulfillment, allowing the teleworker to achieve a satisfactory personal fulfillment of having said skills. On the other hand, telework conditions generate a hidden effect on emotional exhaustion, depersonali-zation and personal fulfillment; therefore, this dimension does not contribute to the reduction or increase of the mentioned dimensions. The work-life balance dimension does not generate any effect on any of the factors. It is concluded that the development of skills for teleworking is a relevant factor to achieve personal fulfillment in teleworkers, while teleworking conditions do not reduce job burnout.
Escapement of Broodstock Chinook Salmon From Whitlock Bay Spawning Station, Lake Oahe, South Dakota
Authors: Gravenhof Dylan A , Barnes Michael E , Hanten Robert
Published: October 2020

Feral spawning fall Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in Lake Oahe, South Dakota, are captured using a fish ladder and catch raceway at Whitlock Bay Spawning Station. The number of salmon that escaped the catch raceway and descended the fish ladder prior to spawning was unknown. During October 2017, all salmon that ascended the fish ladder at the spawning station were tagged. Tagged males remained in the catch raceway. Tagged females were moved to other secure raceways and used to estimate tag retention. Of the 383 tagged males, 159 (41.5%) were initially designated as escaped from the catch raceway. Tag loss in the females was 3.9%. Thus, the estimated male salmon escapement rate from the catch raceway was 37.6%. Male salmon remained in the catch raceway for one-to-three days before escaping. The escapement rate decreased over the month-long spawn, with nearly 60% of the males going back down the fish ladder in the first week of October, compared to less than 20% escapement by the final week. Such high rates of escapement from the spawning station may be negatively impacting the spawning efficiencies. Possible solutions include re-engineering of the fish ladder or daily removal of the salmon in the catch raceway to other more secure locations at the spawning station.
Academic Survival Skills for Urban Students
Authors: Hampton Frederick M.
Published: October 2020

This article discusses specific attitudes, behaviors, and skills used by some urban students to greatly enhance their chances of experiencing academic success in school. Both qualitative and quantitative analyses demonstrate that regardless of students’ socio-economic background or ethnicity and race, high achievement can become an expectation. The research found the most commonly shared attribute among academically successful urban students was their willingness to assume greater personal responsibility for their educational outcomes. This research supports the position that urban schools should incorporate the teaching and practice of these attitudes, behaviors, and skills into the daily curriculum as a mechanism for meaningful student achievement and personal growth.

Voluntary consumption (VolC) and ingestive behaviour (IB) of lambs fed diets containing different percentages (0.0; 7.5; 15.0 and 22.5%) of babassu mesocarp bran (I-BMB) were evaluated. The trial was at the Federal University of Tocantins, Campus de Araguaína-TO. Twenty lambs were evaluated using a completely randomized design, and five replications were performed. VolC data was obtained by measuring total volumes of both food supplied and food remaining after feeding. IB was evaluated throughout two, non-consecutive 24-h periods, with observations were recorded every five minutes that described the following behavioural variables: resting (REST), rumination (RUM), intake (INT) and chewing (CHEW). The particle size was also measured using a Penn State particle separator. All VolC parameters (dry matter intake, DMI; crude protein intake, CPI; neutral detergent fibre intake, NDFI; and acid detergent fibre intake, ADFI) increased linearly with I-BMB intake. I-BMB consumption did not interfere with water intake, nor did it affect I-BMB did not affect the duration of DMI, NDFI and ADFI. However, linear increases of rumination and chewing activities associated with DMI, NDFI and ADFI were observed as I-BMB levels increased. In summary, effects of inclusion I-BMB in diets of lambs included increased voluntary consumption, and reduced rumination and chewing, but not ingestion, efficiency. When economically favorable, these data suggest that inclusion of up to 22.5% I-BMB within balanced diets should be applied.
