Authors: Cláudio Marina Módolo , Rodrigues João Victor Soares , Garcia Valdir Gouveia , Theodoro Leticia Helena
Published: December 2020

Objective: Gingival hyperplasia (GH) is one of the side effects of anticonvulsant drugs. The aim of this study was to verify the prevalence of GH associated with the use of anticonvulsant, through a systematic review. Material and Methods: Systematic search was done at databases Pubmed and Embase between January 1984 and March of 2020 for identification of articles addressing the prevalence of GH associated with the use of anticonvulsant drugs. The methodological index for non-randomized studies (MINORS) was independently assessed for quality in the selected papers. Results: The search identified 4.471 references. Nine articles were selected and evaluated 632 participants. All of the studies included in the systematic review showed a low risk of bias. The anticonvulsants used by patients were carbamazepine, ethosuximide, phenytoin, primidone, phenobarbital, sodium valproate. The studies showed a correlation between different types of anticonvulsants and GH prevalence, with a range from 0% to 73%. Among the anticonvulsants used, phenytoin showed the greatest incidence of GH, varying between 15.61% and 73% in patients. Conclusion: In the analysis of the results obtained in the literature, it is possible to notice that the great majority of studies presented incidence of GH associated with anticonvulsant use. However, further studies are necessary to understand the anticonvulsant action mechanism inducing GH, as well as the prevention forms, given that GH is a significant side effect.

BDS in the context of achievements
Authors: Lopes da cunha Rafael
Published: December 2020

Impact Factor (IF) means the scientometric index that represents the average annual number of citations that manuscripts published in a specific journal received in the last two or three years [1, 2]. It expresses the relative importance of the journal in the field from the view of scientific community.

Different databases have their own impact factor calculation based on the citations in the indexed journals.

For the journals that are indexed on Web of Science, they are ranked by JCR (Journal Scientific Report)/ISI (Institute for Science and Information) in JIF (Journal Impact Factor). For Scopus by SJR (Scimago Journal Rank-citescore)/SNIP (Source Normalized Impact per Paper); etc.

Since we got Scopus indexation in 2017, BDS has been growing its CiteScore index from 0.3 to 1.0 in 2020 [3]. This bibliometric index shows a positive trend for BDS during the last years. Our team is focused on the future with a score higher than “1.0”.

Furthermore, BDS improves its Editorial Board. Twenty-four section editors and 30 assistant editors are directly involved weekly with the process of the manuscripts submitted to the journal. Opportunities arising from the pandemic brought improvements in the speed of evaluation process, in the distribution of the steps, in the partnership, digital or remote meetings, and visibility of the journal.

The communion of ideals among the team members led BDS to a high profile on social networks as Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn. Our posts have been shared with researchers with great success.

By 2021, authors and readers can expect issues with the highest quality in science, commitment to innovation, and dissemination.

Welcome to BDS journal once again.

Obesidade como fator de risco para o agravamento da Covid-19: uma breve revisão de literatura
Authors: Carneiro Audrey Bäscher , Dall'Igna Dhébora Mozena
Published: December 2020

Atualmente, o mundo está passando por uma das piores crises relacionadas à saúde, a infecção por um novo coronavírus, agente etiológico da Covid-19, com alta taxa de transmissibilidade. A Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) estabeleceu que a severidade desta infecção está associada à idade avançada e comorbidades como hipertensão e diabetes. Diante disto, muitos especialistas das áreas de metabologia e endocrinologia vêm associando de igual forma a obesidade e suas comorbidades como um fator de risco à infecção por Covid-19. O objetivo do estudo foi realizar uma breve revisão da literatura correlacionando as evidências de risco associado entre obesidade e infecção por SARS-CoV-2. Foram revisados artigos científicos de bases SciELO, Google Acadêmico, Online Library e Medscape. Como resultados, foi evidenciado que a obesidade, segundo relatório da OMS, é considerada uma doença de estado inflamatório, devido à hipertrofia do tecido adiposo, causando aumento de citocinas pró-inflamatórias com inibição da secreção de adipocinas anti-inflamatórias. Esta condição modifica o status de defesa do hospedeiro levando a alterações no sistema imune inato e adaptativo reduzindo assim resposta à apresentação de antígenos, incluindo os de natureza viral. Conclui-se que a inflamação pode representar um “gatilho de vulnerabilidade” para o surgimento de complicações de obesos infectados por SARS-CoV-2.

As distrofias musculares das cinturas constituem um grupo de doenças genéticas musculares progressivas, nas quais a musculatura das cinturas pélvica e ou escapular estão predominantemente envolvidas. Os músculos da face não são comumente afetados nesta patologia, por este motivo não são frequentemente investigados em estudos. Objetivou-se identificar a existência de possíveis alterações na motricidade orofacial (MO) de pessoas com a distrofia muscular de cinturas R2 relacionada à disferlina (LGMDR2). Essa pesquisa é do tipo caso-controle, duplo cego, descritiva e transversal. Foi realizada avaliação estrutural dos órgãos fonoarticulatórios. Os dados foram registrados em um protocolo criado pelas fonoaudiólogas examinadoras, baseado na pesquisa dos sintomas mais presentes na literatura em pessoas com doenças neuromuculares, categorizados e alocados em planilha digital. Posteriormente, as variáveis foram analisadas através do teste Qui-quadrado. Utilizou-se o software estatístico R com nível de significância igual a 5%. Foram avaliados 21 homozigotos e 61 controles para a variante patogênica c.5979 dupA (p. Glu1994Argfs). A alteração da MO foi encontrada em 85,7% dos homozigotos e 27% dos controles (p-valor 0,001%), sendo as alterações da mobilidade de lábios e de assimetria facial estatisticamente significantes.  Estas alterações na MO associada a LGMDR2 não foram descritos em estudos multicêntricos, sendo necessário realizar estudos com descrição de protocolo de avaliação e inclusão do fonoaudiólogo na equipe de investigação a fim de detectar se os achados são característicos da variante investigada. Em conclusão, alterações de MO, especificamente a mobilidade de lábios e a simetria facial podem estar associadas à LGMDR2.
Publicações de artista: práxis, pesquisa e ensino em Arte Visual
Authors: Antonio Camargo Isaac
Published: December 2020

O tema Publicações de artistas: abordagens, abre um campo imenso de possibilidades e, ao mesmo tempo, se configura como um desafio para artistas, estudiosos, editores e assemelhados. Para quem lida diretamente com o contexto da Arte, especialmente a partir de sua práxis e de seu ensino o tema aponta uma dimensão problematizadora ao motivar diversas proposições investigativas, neste sentido, como professor, artista e pesquisador me propus discorrer e reelaborar as noções propostas e neste texto revelo um percurso autoral que contempla algumas das possibilidades propostas.

Entendo que a Arte, como um campo de conhecimento, comporta simultaneamente pelo menos três vertentes: o da busca/pesquisa, o da produção/consolidação e o da entrega/difusão. Neste sentido tanto a práxis artística, enquanto processo de investigação e descoberta, buscam sua consolidação estético-poética por meio de proposições, problematizações e estratégias que colocam em discurso tanto os processos quanto os resultados. Tais resultados se tornam objetos/realizações e conhecimento/conteúdo emanados do contexto da Arte ou do saber artístico. Assim o processo criativo não se distingue nem se separa de seus produtos, tampouco do conhecimento do qual originou ou que gerou: um alimenta o outro e, consequentemente, ambos alimentam a cultura humana, é assim que entendo a importância da Arte para e na sociedade.

Como professor, artista e pesquisador, desenvolvo um projeto de pesquisa intitulado: Expressão Gráfica e o Campo Expandido do Desenho. Tal projeto tem por objetivo distinguir alguns dos elementos fundantes do percurso criativo que ampara o processo do desenho tomado como um recurso de abordagem, mas não como o objeto exclusivo da abordagem. Neste caso, embora a investigação se de a partir de aportes de caráter gráfico não se restringe a ele: o processo gráfico é um motivador ou, como se pode dizer: uma constante. O que interessa mesmo são as variáveis e como tais variáveis surgem, surgiram ou podem surgir a partir das observações e análises desenvolvidas por meio da práxis artística ou do ambiente de ensino. Assim o ato criativo/criador é gerador de produtos e, ao mesmo tempo, de conhecimento que nomeio, para efeito de compreensão, de Constructos. Parte dos trabalhos desenvolvidos no citado projeto dialogam com algumas proposições do tema apontado pela revista como: livro de artista, intervenções gráficas, múltiplo, edição, apropriação entre outras abordagens que optei por chamar neste texto de Editoria Artística.
Quem quer dinheiro? Do cartão família carioca para a renda básica carioca
Authors: Medeiros Jimmy
Published: December 2020

A oferta de mecanismos da assistência social, notadamente as transferências de renda, tem sido a principal marca do modelo de proteção social brasileiro, desde os anos 1990. Recentemente, a “renda básica” novamente ganhou destaque, por motivações distintas, na esfera acadêmica e no debate público como uma política social para atenuar problemas econômico e sociais. Embora seja uma política pública pensada e discutida há décadas, ganhou centralidade em várias partes do mundo, como Espanha e Finlândia. No Brasil, a “Renda Básica de Cidadania" foi sancionada pela Lei nº10.835/2004, todavia, após mais de 15 anos ela nunca foi efetivamente implementada, constando apenas na letra da lei. O país optou por manter políticas focalizadas na população de maior grau de vulnerabilidade como meio de garantir bem-estar. Na capital fluminense não foi diferente. A criação do Cartão Família Carioca, complementar ao Bolsa Família, chancela esta lógica. Atualmente, enquanto o país criou o Auxílio Emergencial, o Rio de Janeiro criou o Renda Básica Carioca como um reforço. Esta política pode ser atribuída como uma renda básica? Ela segue o receituário dos pensadores desta política pública? Quais são os avanços da criação da Renda Básica Carioca? Este trabalho busca refletir sobre estes desafios.
Message Ferry Route Calculation through K-means Clustering Algorithm for Partially-Connected MANET
Authors: Pandey Anand , Singh Pankaj , Mani Prashant , Gupta Saptarshi , Verma Jay Prakash Narayan
Published: December 2020

Partially-connected MANETs are the Wi-Fi networks where most of the time a comprehensive path between source and destination does not exist due to narrow radio transmission range of the nodes, low density of nodes, wide deployment area, physical obstacles like high rise buildings, severe weather conditions, or other physical factors. The traditional routing protocols of the Mobile Ad-hoc Network presume that the network is connected. There are two possible solutions to solve the connectivity problem in sparse MANET. The first solution makes use of random movement of nodes to transfer messages whereas in the second, one node is given special privileges to roam in the deployment area to distribute messages in segmented areas, which is also called the Message Ferry (MF) approach for transmitting data. Message ferries keep moving in the deployment area and take the charge of storing, carrying and forwarding data of the regular nodes. In the present paper, the ferry-initiated approach has been adopted with 2 ferry nodes, which are allowed to move in such a way that they cover the maximum area of the grid. It is proposed that the ferry nodes will design their routes dynamically on the basis of current topology of MANET and in one round trip it will pass through the centers of the partitioned clusters formed by the regular nodes. The process of calculating cluster center is repeated in further trips. K-means clustering algorithm is applied to calculate the cluster centers of the partitioned clusters. The results indicate positive performances of the proposed model in various simulation experiments conducted.

Published: December 2020

VANET is a critical and demanding mission. Numerous methods exist, but none profits in a distributed fashion from physical layer parameters. This paper describes a method that enables individual nodes to estimate node density, independent of beacon messages, and other infrastructure-based information, of their surrounding network. In this paper, a discrete simulator of events was proposed to estimate the average number of simultaneously transmitting nodes, a functional channel model for the VANETs system, and a method of estimating node density. Proposed based on some equations to allow individual nodes to estimate their surrounding node density in real-time Optimized Node Cluster Algorithm with Network Density in which the composition of a cluster is triggered adjacent, these traffic signals is the same and has been predicated mostly on the position a vehicle might well take after crossing. Additional Ordered Tracking with Particle -Filter Routing in which receives simultaneous signal intensity versus node transmission and node density transmission. Conduct multiple location-related analyzes to test the plausibility of the neighboring single-hop nodes on mobility data. The system is designed to operate in the most complex situations where nodes have little knowledge of network topology and the results, therefore, indicate that the system is fairly robust and accurate.

Many times the development of the era has an impact on the loss of traditions, genetic relationship systems, and customs. Because things that are traditional are always considered as obstacles to progress. This research reveals the deviations and changes in genetic relationship in the Batak Toba community in the perspective of modernity. Data collection in this study uses a literature review approach. Many data sources are taken from various books, journals, and other sources related to deviations or changes in the genetic relationship system of the Batak Toba community in the perspective of modernity. After that there will be an evaluation, content analysis and criticism of the sources until the latest findings are obtained. The conclusion of the research is that socio-cultural changes in the second and third generation of Batak Toba people overseas tend to bring destructive changes, so that they no longer know the origin and genetic relationship system. This has led to a culture and identity crisis that in the end they no longer know the customs of the na tolu, ancestors and their origins.

The study aims to provide an overview of the influence of deferred tax expense, current tax and discretionary accruals to earnings management towards Earnings Management where it was caused by the temporary differences between accounting income and taxable profit. In this PSAK, there is a statement paragraph that can provide freedom of management in determining an earning in deferred tax of the difference between accounting standard and tax regulations in the amount of deferred tax payable related to accounting income in a current perioed or a current fiscal year. The amount of current tax is same with tax expense in SPT. The type of a method of this study is quantitative. Based on the hipothesis testing, it can be concluded that deferred tax expense and discretionary accruals have a significant positive influence toward earnings management while current tax has no significant positive towards Earnings Management in Manufactured Company registered at Indonesia Stock Exchange in the period of 2014 – 2018. The limitation of this study is that it only discusses how much influence the deferred tax expense, current tax and discretionary accruals have on earnings management, as well as the number of samples and populations that are less than 100 samples, thus opening up opportunities for new researchers by adopting the same theme. The implications of this study are expected to be able to add to the state of knowledge relating to the effect of deferred tax expense, current tax and discretionary accruals on earnings management.

Pozycja prawna młodego rolnika w Polsce w świetle rezolucji Parlamentu Europejskiego z 29 maja 2018 r.
Authors: Litwiniuk Przemysław
Published: December 2020

Rezolucja Parlamentu Europejskiego z 29 maja 2018 r. w sprawie wdrażania narzędzi WPR dla młodych rolników w UE po reformie z 2013 r. zwraca uwagę unijnych organów i europejskich instytucji, a także rządów państw członkowskich, na istotną potrzebę należytego ukształtowania i zabezpieczenia pozycji młodych rolników w unijnym prawodawstwie oraz w regulacjach krajowych. W artykule zostały zaprezentowane motywy przyjęcia tej rezolucji oraz zalecenia skierowane do Rady, Komisji Europejskiej, Trybunału Obrachunkowego, a także rządów i parlamentów państw członkowskich. Autor przeprowadził analizę stosowanych w Polsce instrumentów wsparcia młodych rolników, sprzyjających przemianom pokoleniowym na obszarach wiejskich. W podsumowaniu sformułował twierdzenie, że dotychczasowa krajowa polityka, kreująca system wsparcia młodych rolników, mimo niewątpliwych osiągnięć, może być w wielu aspektach uważana za nieefektywną, a stosowane rozwiązania prawne uznawane za fragmentaryczne i wobec siebie niekomplementarne.
Prawne aspekty sprzedaży na odległość napojów alkoholowych
Authors: Sokołowski Łukasz Mikołaj
Published: December 2020

Przedmiotem rozważań są zagadnienia związane ze sprzedażą na odległość napojów alkoholowych, które zgodnie z unijnym prawodawstwem wpisują się w kategorię żywności. Ich celem jest udzielenie odpowiedzi na pytanie, czy w świetle obowiązujących przepisów prawa możliwa jest sprzedaż na odległość napojów alkoholowych oraz czy przyjęte rozwiązania odpowiadają wymogom współczesności. Polskie ustawodawstwo zakazuje sprzedaży na odległość napojów alkoholowych. Potwierdza to orzecznictwo sądów administracyjnych. Jednak mimo obowiązującego od wielu lat zakazu sprzedaż napojów alkoholowych w Polsce rośnie. Przedsiębiorcy nie stosują się do wprowadzonego zakazu lub podejmują działania mające na celu obejście prawa, uważając obowiązujące regulacje za archaiczne i nieodpowiadające współczesności. Mając na uwadze powszechność handlu online, rozwój technologii, kryzys gospodarczy powstały w związku z pandemią i zmieniające się upodobania konsumentów, podjęcie prób zmiany prawa umożliwiających sprzedaż na odległość napojów alkoholowych należy ocenić pozytywnie. Wydaje się jednak, że proponowane instrumenty prawne nie są wystarczające i nie zapewniają odpowiedniej ochrony zdrowia i życia konsumentów.

Published: December 2020

This study of peri-urban minerogenic topsoil on glacigenic or post-glacial deposits shows the influence of the site-classification approach on the differentiated median background (DMB) values of major elements and the potentially harmful elements (PHEs) Ba, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn. Composite samples from forests and meadows were taken in 25 sites, each of which had five sub-sites. A fraction of <2 mm was used to determine the organic matter by loss on ignition (LOI), grain size by laser diffraction and the elemental contents by X-ray fluorescence. The following five site-classification approaches are compared: geochemical (G), using relative median contents of Al, K, Ti; textural (T), according to mean percentages of clay-sized fraction (CLF) and silt fraction (SIF); lithological (L), based on soil parent material texture from the soil database; soil type (S), presented in the soil database; and parent material (P), generalising the underlying Quaternary deposits. Sites were classified into four level groups in which the DMB values were estimated after eliminating anomalies. The average ranks of three scores according to SIF, CLF, LOI, Al, K, Ti, Fe, Mg, Ca and S in the respective groups revealed the highest value for the G approach. It better eliminates the CLF and SIF influences on the median assessment indices of PHEs in sites.
Application of selenium and silicon to alleviate short-term drought stress in French marigold (Tagetes patula L.) as a model plant species
Authors: Kleiber Tomasz , Borowiak Klaudia , Kosiada Tomasz , Breś Włodzimierz , Ławniczak Bartosz
Published: December 2020

Selenium (Se) and silicon (Si) are the beneficial elements that may significantly modify plants’ tolerance to various types of biotic and abiotic stress. They may be particularly important due to the current climate changes. The aim of model experiments was to assess how selenium and silicon could alleviate short-term drought stress in French marigold (Tagetes patula L. “Pascal”). Tagetes plant species are economically important annual plants and are also very popular decorative flowering species in city parks due to its beautiful colored flowers and resistance on drought stress. Silicon was applied in the form of silica sol and choline-stabilized orthosilicic acid (ch-OSA). Selenium was applied in the form of sodium selenate (Na2SeO4). They were tested at the following concentrations (mg dm−3 of NS): silica sol – level I (23.25), level II (31.0); ch-OSA – level I (0.21), level II (0.63); and Se – level I (0.4), level II (0.8). The experiment showed that silicon had stimulating effect on the biometric parameters of control plants cultivated under an optimal water regime. When the plants treated with selenium were exposed to stress, the values of their biometric parameters were generally higher than in the plants treated with silicon. Both silicon and selenium significantly modified the gas exchange parameters. During the growing season, the net photosynthesis activity (PN), stomatal conductance (gs), and transpiration rate (E) tended to decrease, but they increased significantly when selenium and silicon were applied. In general, the factors significantly modified the plants’ content of macro- and micronutrients as well as the proportions between them. Both selenium and silicon alleviated the short-term drought stress in French marigolds as a model plant, but when silicon was applied, the positive effect was modified by the source and its concentration.

Published: December 2020

A novel series of mixed-ligand complexes of the type, [M(L1)(L2)Cl]·2H2O [L1 = 2-(α-methyl salicylidene hydrazine) benzimidazole (primary ligand), L2 = 2,2′-bipyridine (bipy; secondary ligand), M = Co(ii), Ni(ii), Cu(ii) and Zn(ii)], were based on the physicoanalytical studies. The spectroscopic findings revealed tridentate nature of the Schiff base ligand (L1) and its coordination to the metal ions via azomethine nitrogen, ring nitrogen and the deprotonated phenolic oxygen atoms. Furthermore, the synthesized compounds were evaluated for antimicrobial activity against Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhi microorganisms. In addition, molecular docking studies were carried out against Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (PDB ID: 4ZS6) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 main protease (PDB ID: 6W63).
On the benefits of structural equation modeling for corpus linguists
Authors: Larsson Tove , Plonsky Luke , Hancock Gregory R.
Published: December 2020

The present article aims to introduce structural equation modeling, in particular measured variable path models, and discuss their great potential for corpus linguists. Compared to other techniques commonly employed in the field such as multiple regression, path models are highly flexible and enable testing a priori hypotheses about causal relations between multiple independent and dependent variables. In addition to increased methodological versatility, this technique encourages big-picture, model-based reasoning, thus allowing corpus linguists to move away from the, at times, somewhat overly simplified mindset brought about by the more narrow null-hypothesis significance testing paradigm. The article also includes commentary on corpus linguistics and its trajectory, arguing in favor of increased cumulative knowledge building.
An experimental evaluation of refinement techniques for the subgraph isomorphism backtracking algorithms
Authors: Mihelič Jurij , Čibej Uroš
Published: December 2020

In this paper, we study a well-known computationally hard problem, called the subgraph isomorphism problem where the goal is for a given pattern and target graphs to determine whether the pattern is a subgraph of the target graph. Numerous algorithms for solving the problem exist in the literature and most of them are based on the backtracking approach. Since straightforward backtracking is usually slow, many algorithmic refinement techniques are used in practical algorithms. The main goal of this paper is to study such refinement techniques and to determine their ability to speed up backtracking algorithms. To do this we use a methodology of experimental algorithmics. We perform an experimental evaluation of the techniques and their combinations and, hence, demonstrate their usefulness in practice.
Design and Control of 7-DOF Omni-directional Hexapod Robot
Authors: Žák Marek , Rozman Jaroslav , Zbořil František V.
Published: December 2020

Legged robots have great potential to travel across various types of terrain. Their many degrees of freedom enable them to navigate through difficult terrains, narrow spaces or various obstacles and they can move even after losing a leg. However, legged robots mostly move quite slowly. This paper deals with the design and construction of an omni-directional seven degrees of freedom hexapod (i.e., six-legged) robot, which is equipped with omnidirectional wheels (two degrees of freedom are used, one for turning the wheel and one for the wheel itself) usable on flat terrain to increase travel speed and an additional coxa joint that makes the robot more robust when climbing inclined terrains. This unique combination of omnidirectional wheels and additional coxa joint makes the robot not only much faster but also more robust in rough terrains and allows the robot to ride inclined terrains up to 40 degrees and remain statically stable in slopes up to 50 degrees. The robot is controlled by a terrain adaptive movement controller which adjusts the movement speed and the gait of the robot according to terrain conditions.
The Frankel property for self-shrinkers from the viewpoint of elliptic PDEs
Authors: Impera Debora , Pigola Stefano , Rimoldi Michele
Published: December 2020

We show that two properly embedded self-shrinkers in Euclidean space that are sufficiently separated at infinity must intersect at a finite point. The proof is based on a localized version of the Reilly formula applied to a suitable f-harmonic function with controlled gradient. In the immersed case, a new direct proof of the generalized half-space property is also presented.
Positive solutions to Schrödinger equations and geometric applications
Authors: Munteanu Ovidiu , Schulze Felix , Wang Jiaping
Published: December 2020

A variant of Li–Tam theory, which associates to each end of a complete
Riemannian manifold a positive solution of a given Schrödinger equation on
the manifold, is developed. It is demonstrated that such positive solutions
must be of polynomial growth of fixed order under a suitable scaling
invariant Sobolev inequality. Consequently, a finiteness result for the number of ends
follows. In the case when the Sobolev inequality is of particular type, the finiteness result
is proven directly. As an application, an estimate on the number of ends for shrinking
gradient Ricci solitons and submanifolds of Euclidean space is obtained.
Neonate born with ischemic limb to a COVID-19 positive mother: management and review of literature
Authors: Perveen Shahana , Millington Karmaine A. , Acharya Suchitra , Garg Amit , Boyar Vita
Published: December 2020

Objectives

To describe challenges in diagnosis and treatment of congenital neonatal gangrene lesions associated with history of maternal coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection.

Case presentation

A preterm neonate was born with upper extremity necrotic lesions and a history of active maternal COVID-19 infection. The etiology of his injury was challenging to deduce, despite extensive hypercoagulability work-up and biopsy of the lesion. Management, including partial forearm salvage and hand amputation is described.

Conclusions

Neonatal gangrene has various etiologies, including compartment syndrome and intrauterine thromboembolic phenomena. Maternal COVID-19 can cause intrauterine thrombotic events and need to be considered in a differential diagnosis.
Perfect matchings and K1,p-restricted graphs
Authors: Irzhavski Pavel A. , Orlovich Yury L.
Published: December 2020

A graph is called K1,p-restricted (p ≥ 3) if for every vertex of the graph there are at least p − 2 edges between any p of its neighbours. We establish sufficient conditions for the existence of a perfect matching in K1,p-restricted graphs in terms of their connectivity and vertex degrees. These conditions imply, in particular, the classical Petersen’s result: any 2-edge-connected 3-regular graph contains a perfect matching.
Das Universale konstruieren: Eine transkulturelle Herausforderung
Authors: Hountondji Paulin J.
Published: December 2020

This article starts by critically engaging with exclusion within the hegemonic European philosophical discourses based on racist and civilisational narratives both during the colonial past and in the present. As a counter-strategy, it rejects any defence of peripheral cultures based on particularist narratives or essentialising identities. In this light, it critically discusses the project of ethnophilosophy in the African context. The author defines relativism as a trap that imprisons postcolonial subjects rather than truly liberating them. The project of universalism is neither European nor Eurocentric, but universal in scope, since intellectuals in all cultures make truth-claims. Accordingly, it pleads for conceptualising the universal not as a given that can be embraced or rejected, but as a goal and an infinite horizon that all cultures of the world should work on together.
The effect of the impurities spaces on the quality of structural steel working at variable loads
Authors: Lipiński Tomasz , Ulewicz Robert
Published: December 2020

The quality of carbon steels working at variable loads mainly depend of microstructure, but also of impurities. The quantity and morphology of non-metallic inclusions and spaces between impurities are correlated with the content of admixtures in the alloy, while their phase composition and structure, in particular shape, dimensions and dispersion, are determined by the course of metallurgical processes. Non-metallic inclusions as impurities found in steel can affect its performance characteristics. Their impact depends not only on their quality, but also, among others, on their size and distribution in the steel volume. The literature mainly describes the results of tests on hard steels. The article discusses the results of a study investigating the effect of the number of large non-metallic inclusions (over 10 μm in size) on the fatigue strength of structural steel during rotary bending. The study was performed on 6 heats produced in an industrial plant. Fourteen heats were produced in 140 ton electric furnaces. All heats were desulfurized and refined with argon. The experimental variants were compared in view of the tempering the research steel. The fatigue strength of steel with an impurity spaces was determined during rotary bending: the results revealed that fatigue strength is determined by the impurity spaces and tempering temperature.
Sozialökologische Bewegungen in Lateinamerika: Bedeutungen von „Natur“ in Wasserkonflikten in Peru
Authors: Leinius Johanna
Published: December 2020

Der Artikel gibt einen Überblick über die Entwicklung und den Charakter sozialökologischer Bewegungen in Lateinamerika. Es wird argumentiert, dass Umweltbewegungen in Lateinamerika häufig nicht nur danach streben, ihre ökologisch begründeten Lebensgrundlagen zu schützen. Sie artikulieren potentiell auch andere Realitäten, in denen Natur nicht als Ressource, sondern als handelndes Subjekt und Teil der Gemeinschaft gesehen wird. Am Beispiel des sozialökologischen Konflikts um die Goldmine Yanacocha in der peruanischen Provinz Cajamarca werden solche relationalen Ontologien aufgezeigt und abschließend diskutiert, was die Anerkennung ontologischer Multiplizität für die Bewegungsforschung bedeutet.
Self-compassion in undergraduate nursing: an integrative review
Authors: Hagerman Lisa-Anne , Manankil-Rankin Louela , Schwind Jasna K.
Published: December 2020

Objective

To explore self-compassion and its role in supporting well-being, compassionate care, and the academic experience in undergraduate nursing students.

Method

Whittemore and Knafl’s (2005) integrative review methodology was used to search articles published between 2007 and 2020, which resulted in 36 articles meeting the inclusion criteria: compassion for self and others, strategies to support self-compassion; and self-compassion and student learning.

Result

Findings indicate that self-compassion may promote compassionate care, personal well-being, resilience, and emotional intelligence while supporting indicators of academic success. Compassion literacy, mindfulness training, and experiential exercises are some of the strategies that could be integrated into nursing curricula to enhance compassion in nursing students for self and others.

Conclusion

Integrating mindfulness and self-compassion in undergraduate curricula requires innovative teaching and learning approaches within a supportive organizational environment. To this end, a Self-Compassion Curricular Model to guide nursing programs is proposed.
