Published: September 2020

Ao discorrer sobre a evolução histórica da legislação referente a proteção do trabalho feminino, percebe-se, entre avanços e retrocessos, poucos efeitos práticos no empreendimento de uma verdadeira ruptura com os processos de desigualdade de gênero. Do mesmo modo a recente Reforma Trabalhista vem demonstrando incapacidade em dissolver a reprodução de tais padrões ao flexibilizar as normas sociais do trabalho. Frente a isso, o artigo tem por objetivo apresentar as alterações legislativas da Reforma Trabalhista que culminaram em impactos à força de trabalho feminina, especialmente referente ao contrato intermitente. Para isso realizou-se pesquisa documental a despeito das legislações anteriores e vigentes, bem como revisão de literatura de estudos desenvolvidos sobre a Reforma Trabalhista após sua promulgação, articulados a aportes teóricos das ciências humanas e sociais que discutem a divisão sexual do trabalho e a segregação entre homens e mulheres no trabalho. Assim como os trabalhos flexíveis do tipo parcial e temporário, o contrato intermitente segue inserindo mulheres em atividades segregadas de baixa qualificação, escolaridade e renda, produzindo dinâmicas semelhantes em termos de precarização e intensificação do trabalho, que comprometem sobretudo, a conciliação entre vida familiar e laboral.

Authors: Hossain Md Abul , Islam Md Waliul , Hooda Md Nurul , Naser Md Fazal , Hossain Md Shohrab , Azam Md Shafiqul
Published: September 2020

Objective: To assess the articles published on current treatments for Peyronie’s disease (PD) and it’s new development and to assist clinicians to select the effective management of PD by increasing understanding and awareness of the outcomes associated with current medical and surgical treatment options.
Methods: A Hinari literature search was conducted to identify relevant, peer-reviewed, clinical and review articles published related to current treatment options and it’s new developments of Peyronie’s Disease. Search terms for this non-systematic review included ‘Peyronie’s disease’, ‘current treatment, outcomes’, new development. ‘Erectile dysfunction or ED’, search terms were searched separately and in combination. Case studies and editorials were excluded, primary manuscripts and reviews were included, and references of articles of interest were reviewed and key references were obtained.
Result: Currently, there are several investigational minimally invasive and non-surgical treatment options for PD; however, surgical treatment remains the standard of care for patients with stable disease and disabling deformity or drug-resistant erectile dysfunction. Each of the different surgical procedures that are used for treatment of PD, including tunical shortening, tunical lengthening (plaque incisions or partial excision and grafting), and use of inflatable penile prostheses, carries its own advantages and disadvantages in terms of potential complications and postoperative satisfaction. No single, standard, surgical treatment for this disorder has prevailed and multiple variations of each type of procedure exist. Obtaining data on current treatment and its modifications to these procedures, and new surgical techniques and materials may serve to further guide
Conclusion: The real etiology of Peyronie’s disease and the mechanisms of formation of the plaque still remain obscure. Although conservative management is obtaining a progressively larger consensus among the experts, surgical correction still remains the mainstay treatment for this condition. Treatment should be tailored to each patient after a detailed evaluation of disease severity and sexual function.

Published: September 2020

We report a case in which a 28-year-old infertile bilateral cryptorchoid man with decreased performance status presented to the department of urology with a mildly tender mass in right inguinal region. Both ultrasonography and Computerized axial tomography scan (CT Scan) suggested that the mass arose from right sided undescended testis and left sided testis was normal-sized intrabdominal. His serum á-fetoprotein and LDH were within normal range and only â-hCG was raised 3-fold. He was found azoospermic, his serum LH and FSH were increased but serum testosterone was reduced. The mass was removed by inguinal exploration and histopathology confirmed seminoma of testis. Orchidopexy was done on contralateral side one month after the first operation. A mass in the lower abdomen in a sexually active man with cryptorchoid testis strongly points towards the diagnosis of malignancy in the abdominal testis1. The clinician should aware of it and the urologist should do prompt removal of the tumor and orchidopexy in contralateral side in bilateral case irrespective of age.

Authors: Zaman Md Masud , Hasan Md Sajid , Chowdhury Golam Mowla , Rahman Md Shafiqur , Rahman AKM Mahbubur
Published: September 2020

Objective: The Objective of this study was to evaluate the second-look transurethral resection (TUR) from the base of the previously resected bladder tumour in avoidance of staging errors, possibility of changing treatment strategy, and determination of risk factors of up-staging in patients with a diagnosis of superficial bladder cancer.
Materials and Methods: In this cross sectional study, 50 cases of superficial bladder cancers (pTa and pT1) were included where muscle coat were absent in histopathologic report of first TURBT. A second-look TUR from the tumour site were done after 4 weeks following the initial resection. At the second-look TUR, resection from the base of the previously resected area was performed for restaging. Finally, histopathologic findings of the second TURBT were compared with those of the initial one by appropriate statistical analysis.
Results: Out of 50 patients, 27 (54%) had residual malignant tissue in histopathological report of second-look TUR, while 23 (46%) were tumour free (no residual malignant tissue) at second-look TUR. In this study, total up-staging of tumour found in 18 (36%) patients. Out of them, 6 (12%) and 2(4%) patients were up-staged from pTa to pT1 and PT2 respectively. 10 (20%) were up-staged from PT1 to muscle-invasive (pT2). So, total percentage of staging errors (under staging) detected in second-look TUR was 36% cases. Appearance (sessile), size (>3 cm) and stage (pT1) of the tumour at the initial resection were independent risk factors for up-staging to muscle invasive disease detected at second-look TURBT.
Conclusions: Second-look TURBT is a valuable procedure for detection of residual tumour and accurate staging of non-muscle invasive bladder tumour. It also changed the treatment strategy of a significant proportion of patients. It is useful for tumours at high risk of recurrence and progression such as large size, sessile, multiple and T1 high grade tumours, particularly when there is inadequate or no muscularis propria in the specimen.

Published: September 2020

Objective: This study was undertaken to find out the roles of dietary factors and physical activities in the formation of renal stones in our socio-demographic conditions.
Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted among 70 patients from October 2011 to November 2012 in the department of SSMCMH and a few other private hospitals in Dhaka city. The study included all patients of either gender and all ages attending our out-patient department who were diagnosed to have renal stones. The dietary habits of the patients were explored by face to face interview using food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). The physical activities were evaluated by structured questionnaire, and the metabolic work-ups were done by urinalysis and blood analysis. The results were reviewed and analyzed with the help of SPSS 17.
Result: Out of 70 patients about one-third were female (31.4%) and two-third were male (68.6%). Most of the study people belonged to age group 40-50 years. Mean was 43.7 years with standard deviation of 10.28 years. One-fifth of the respondents did minimal activities (0-5 hrs/day), One –third moderate activities (5-10 hrs/day) and about half severe activities (10-15hrs/day). One-fifth did not take any table salt but about one-fourth indulged much (>half tsf/day) and more than half took excessive (> 1tsf/day) salt. About 57.1% stone patients of the present study habitually have taken excessive salt, 24.3% patients took much salt and 18.6% used no added table salt. About one-third (37.71%) of the patients took calcium, one-fourth (25.71%) vitamin-D, one-fifth ascorbic acid and the rest had no supplementations. The patients having supplementations found to have more urinary levels of the corresponding supplements. More ingestion of green leafy vegetables and fruits and juices are associated with increased level of urinary oxalate. 24-hrs urinary oxalate level found to be associated with increased occurrence of renal stones. Most of the patients (64.3%) ingested habitually inadequate amount of fluid.
Conclusion: The study showed some important observational facts in regard to the respondent’s diet and physical activities. The dietary and lifestyle modifications can reduce urinary stone disease.

Published: September 2020

Objective: To determine the outcome and complications of CAPD catheter implanted by open surgical technique for peritoneal dialysis.
Methods: In this prospective study peritoneal dialysis catheter (PDC) for continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis was inserted into the abdominal cavity using an open surgical approach. We described our experience of open surgical minimal invasive technique of CAPD catheterization from July 2012 to June 2015. Total 40 catheters were inserted successfully. Patients were followed up for a variable period of 3-36 months.
Results: In this study common indications of CAPD catheter insertion were CKD-5 due to diabetic nephropathy, chronic glomerulonephritis, and hypertensive nephrosclerosis. Common catheter related complications were peritonitis, hypokalaemia, exit site infection, catheter malfunction. Late peritonitis remains the major drawback of PD treatment, with the need of temporary or permanent changeover to the HD treatment in 10% of the patients.
Conclusion: Enrichment of the physician’s interest and experience, along with a multidisciplinary approach to outline the optimal strategy of PD-catheter insertion and management of complications may improve technique and patients’ survival and decrease the morbidity.

An Unusual Self-Inflicted Foreign Body in the Urinary Bladder and Urethra: A Case Report
Authors: Rahman Mofizur , Bari AKM Akramul , Khatoon Syeda Nafisa
Published: September 2020

Introduction: Most foreign bodies in the lower genitourinary tract are self-inserted via the urethra as the result of exotic impulses, psychometric problems, sexual curiosity, or sexual practice while intoxicated. Diagnosis of these foreign bodies can be done by clinical history, physical examination, and image studies of the patient. The treatment of foreign bodies is determined by their size, location, shape, and mobility. In most cases, minimally invasive procedures such as endoscopic removal are recommended to prevent bladder and urethral injuries. In some cases, however, surgical treatment should be done if the foreign bodies cannot be removed by the endoscopic procedure or further injuries are expected as a result of the endoscopic procedures.
Case Presentation: Herein we present a case of self-inserted lower genitourinary foreign body. A 60 years old man presented with complaints of dysuria, dribbling, haematuria and suprapubic pain for 3 weeks. An X-ray of the pelvis showed a coiled up radio opaque shadow of telephone wire in the bladder region extending downwards which was removed by suprapubic cystostomy.
Discussions: Bladder foreign body is not common. Plain radiograph is sufficient to diagnose and minimally invasive procedure is usually successful. In this case retrieval by cystostomy was done to avoid the risk of bladder and urethral injury.
Conclusion: Introduction into the bladder may be through self-insertion, iatrogenic means or migration from adjacent organs. Extraction should be tailored according to the nature of the foreign body and should minimize bladder and urethral trauma. The possibility of an intravesical foreign body should be considered in any patient with chronic unexplained lower urinary tract symptoms.

Guru Grantha Shahib: A Model for Interfaith Understanding in Today’s World
Authors: Islam Kazi Nurul
Published: September 2020

Though all the religions of the world teach love, preach sympathy for others and encourage man to exercise utmost self-restraint and have most profoundly been a source of inspiration for the highest good of mankind, the world today is torn by conflicts, enmity and religious hatred. In this predicament, a lasting and peaceful society is impossible unless different faiths are understood in their proper perspectives. Therefore, it is necessary that people belonging to different faiths understand each other well. This necessitates a constant dialogue and effort to generate moral and hearty religious thinking. The advocates of all the religions of the world emphasize the importance of certain virtues and moral values. Only these can foster unity and cohesion of mankind. But the moral and religious values cannot be invoked by force. This can be achieved through the exchange of words, kind words, sincere words and loving words that can reach the deepest fathoms of the heart.

Rabindranath Tagore’s Idea of Universal Humanism in the Light of Islamic World View
Authors: Sarkar Ichhimuddin
Published: September 2020

Very few studies are available to understand the philosophical views of Rabindranath Tagore in the light of his attitude and realization of Islam vis-à-vis idea of universalism. Fact remains that the Islamic civilization has thoroughly been recognized in the academic circles but its depth and learning have not been studied up to expectation. European historians and philosophers seem to be hesitant to acknowledge the contribution of Islamic civilization over the centuries. Even a majority of Eastern scholars are critical about welcoming the actual merit of Islam. Rabindranath Tagore being one of the brightest stars in the galaxy of poets and writers made a serious study on the philosophy and writings of many Muslim thinkers and ultimately brought to our notice an extraordinary feeling about Islamic ideas and philosophy. Rabindranth Tagore seems to have sought the inner meaning of Islam and developed a kind of value- based attitude towards human life and the universe. It is likely that through his Gitanjali and Religion of Man (Manusher Dharma) in particular were presented with an objective to stimulate and guide men in search of Ultimate Truth and Oneness of God. It is said that Rabindranth Tagore was acquainted with the verses of the Qur‟an in his childhood and in this respect his father Maharishi Devendranath Tagore imbibed in him many theological aspects of Islam as a religion. The paper intends to explore how Tagore was influenced by Islam and as a poet-thinker he nurtured the idea of eternal truth from the Upanishads, the Tripitakas as well as the Bible and through a particular discipline and inner uplift he came to the conclusion that aggregate of essentials of diversity cannot be judged in the light of mere logic and arguments. This feeling seems to have prompted Tagore to find out the inner truth of the universe and side by side to propagate the idea of universal humanism throughout the world.

Many thinkers including ethicists, economists, academicians and philosophers have tried to explore necessary principles, standards, rules and regulations for business-related issues. Islam, a major religion of the world, has prescribed, from its very inception, necessary rules and principles for every aspect of life including business and commerce-related dealings. This paper explores Islamic concepts of business, its principles, rules and regulations. From the Islamic point of view, this paper shows that business is not merely a job of profit-making, but also an ibadah (worship). Moreover, it claims that Islamic business ethics is not only concerned with moral soundness of business persons, but also closely connected with the salvation of man.

Authors: Cevallos-Mejía Angela , Rivadeneira-Barreiro Lucía
Published: September 2020

La competencia de los mercados globalizados genera entre las organizaciones la búsqueda de herramientas para lograr la captación y fidelización de clientes. Esto se da especialmente en industrias competitivas como las empresas inmobiliarias, en las que para permanecer a la vanguardia deben implementar alternativas y acciones para satisfacer y mejorar el servicio al cliente. Este estudio tiene como objetivo general relacionar la calidad del servicio al cliente con las ventas de empresas inmobiliarias a través de una revisión sistemática y detallada de la literatura existente dentro de los últimos 5 años. Para este propósito se trabajó con un enfoque de estudio de corte cualitativo, exploratorio, con alcance descriptivo, y con fundamento en el método PRISMA, que permite mediante pasos precisos, la planificación, preparación y publicación de revisiones de la literatura disponible. Como principales resultados de la sistematización, se ubicaron inicialmente 1.099 estudios, seleccionando al final 11 artículos científicos que cumplieron con los parámetros de inclusión/exclusión y calidad establecidos en PRISMA. Estos artículos permitieron extraer los criterios sobre la relación y brechas existentes entre los dos conceptos, que son la calidad de servicio al cliente con las ventas de empresas inmobiliarias. Este estudio concluye que la literatura que relaciona estos dos conceptos es escasa y no ha sido profundizada, lo que hace necesario investigarlos con mayor profundidad a través de futuras investigaciones.

Published: September 2020

El presente artículo delimita su estudio en la ciudad de Portoviejo y tiene como finalidad analizar el impacto que generan dentro de la economía familiar las mujeres que intervienen en negocios de venta directa y multinivel, derivándose de la problemática que se expone por la falta de empleo digno y la necesidad de conseguir una fuente de ingresos que les permita a las personas que conforman un hogar poder subsistir. Por esto, se efectúa una estructuración del contexto teórico sobre la economía familiar y los negocios multinivel, además, de su evolución a nivel global y local. Posteriormente, con la implementación de una investigación descriptiva con enfoque cualitativo se recolecta información de fuente primaria, brindada mediante encuestas dirigidas al género femenino (esposas) presente en los hogares. Los resultados encontrados permitieron evidenciar que esta actividad económica es frecuentemente implementada en la localidad examinada (Portoviejo) al indicarse por las encuestadas que más del 90% incurre en dicha labor. Todos los datos recolectados permitieron concluir que la contribución generada por este tipo de negocios promedia del 20% al 40% del total de ingresos de una familia, comprobándose que tiene una relevancia significativa dentro de las finanzas de las personas.
La planificación académica, herramienta valiosa para la calidad del proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje en la Unidad Educativa Bilingüe Torremar (UEBT)
Authors: Prieto-López Yeimer , Ayala-Pazmiño Mario , Pacheco-Montoya David
Published: September 2020

La planificación académica, pedagógica y didáctica es una de las herramientas fundamentales dentro del proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje, debido a la influencia y el impacto que tiene en los resultados del aprendizaje de los alumnos. A partir de las características de la nueva escuela y los aspectos que envuelven la reforma educativa para dar respuesta a las necesidades de desarrollo de los estudiantes en el actual mundo contemporáneo, se exige del docente que evite las prácticas tradicionales, y por ende una enseñanza de contenidos basada en la improvisación a la hora del desarrollo de las actividades en el proceso áulico. Por ello, es imprescindible que el docente no vea la planificación didáctica como un simple requisito administrativo basado en un formato que presente una descripción innecesaria para la Dirección Académica, sino como un instrumento valioso para la calidad del sistema de clases, en donde el estudiante sea quien produzca y aporte, como parte del Marco Conceptual de la Enseñanza para la Compresión (EpC) que aplicamos en nuestra Institución Educativa desde hace tres años. A continuación, se examinará detalladamente lo que implica la realización y puesta en práctica de la planificación didáctica en función de la calidad del proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje en la UEBT.

Authors: Lituma-Yascaribay Mónica , Andrade-Amoroso Rolando , Andrade-Pesantez Daniel
Published: September 2020

En el Ecuador el sector artesanal es uno de los que más aporta dinamismo a la economía del país, generando empleo y crecimiento económico a nivel local y nacional. Entre los organismos que apoyan este sector se puede mencionar la Junta Nacional de Defensa del Artesano que es un organismo autónomo para apoyo y control a los artesanos cuya misión es fortalecer las actividades de estos. El sector artesanal de la ciudad de Cuenca provincia del Azuay ha tenido un crecimiento significativo en los últimos años, los artesanos han manejado de manera empírica el desarrollo de sus actividades por la falta de aplicación de un modelo de gestión efectivo, este sector se ha visto afectado en su rentabilidad, en las operaciones financieras y control de los recursos. El objetivo del presente trabajo es determinar las características más relevantes bajo las cuáles se desarrolla el sector artesanal del Ecuador específicamente en la ciudad de Cuenca, enfocados sobre todo a la producción de adornos para el hogar. La metodología tuvo un enfoque cualitativo con un alcance descriptivo, el tipo de investigación fue no experimental porque la información obtenida de la revisión bibliográfica se la utilizó sin manipulación por parte de los investigadores. Entre los principales resultados se puede mencionar los siguientes: la mayor parte de este sector presenta un registro formal, invierte su capital propio para la producción, tienen gran capacidad instalada que en épocas bajas la subutilización disminuye su rentabilidad pues el margen de utilidad oscila entre el 0% al 5% lo que trae como consecuencia reducción del número de emprendimientos artesanales reducción de contratos a artesanos aprendices. Es importante mencionar que este sector tiene varios beneficios de tipo tributario y laboral, así como también existen instituciones financieras que otorgan créditos de acuerdo a las necesidades de los artesanos. Como conclusión sería muy importante que los artesanos se capaciten en herramientas de gestión contable-financiera para mejorar sus competencias e incrementar su rentabilidad.
