Factorized Schemes for First and Second Order Evolution Equations with Fractional Powers of Operators
Authors: Vabishchevich Petr N.
Published: October 2021

Many non-local processes are modeled using mathematical models that include fractional powers of elliptic operators.
The approximate solution of stationary problems with fractional powers of operators is most often based on rational approximations introduced in various versions for a fractional power of the self-adjoint positive operator.
The purpose of this work is to use such approximations for the approximate solution of nonstationary problems.
We consider Cauchy problems for the first and second order differential-operator equations in finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces.
Estimates for the proximity of an approximate solution to an exact one are obtained when specifying the absolute and relative errors of the approximation of the fractional power of the operator.
We construct splitting schemes based on the additive representation with a rational approximation of the operator’s fractional power.
The stability and accuracy of factorized two-level additive operator-difference schemes for the first order evolution equation and three-level schemes for a second order equation are established.
Simulation of Fixture Hardening for Tool and Process Design Optimization
Authors: Vidoni M. , Sarkar S. , Farivar H. , Sims J. , Jordan M. , Münter D.
Published: October 2021

Fixture hardening is the process of choice when thin-walled, carburized gears need to be heat treated with minimal distortion. Only a few publications have studied and described the phenomena taking place in carburized gears during a fixture hardening process. An integrated approach is proposed to improve the design of hardening fixtures and introduce new strategies and instrumentation to better understand and control the process. The proposed approach is to tightly integrate the knowledge in metallurgy, numerical simulation, process control, and machine design areas to mutually compensate and overcome the current limitations in each single area. An instrumented fixture is designed for a reference gear and tested on an industrial quenching press. The signals from the fixture are combined directly with the signals from the quenching press, recorded, and used to validate and improve the numerical simulation models. Metallurgical simulations are used to predict temperature distribution, phase transformations, distortion, and to identify new process strategies.
Determinants of Corporate Savings in Germany
Authors: Jüppner Marcus
Published: October 2021

From the early 2000s onwards, the rise in net lending of the nonfinancial corporate sector has contributed substantially to the increase in the German current account surplus. The main driving factor behind the development in the nonfinancial corporate sector’s net lending was a rise in savings (retained earnings) while business investment was comparatively stable. To shed light on the determinants of corporate savings, this study presents results from an analysis using firm-level data from the recently developed Bundesbank database Janis. The descriptive analysis suggests that the increase in corporate savings was a widespread development across the corporate sector in Germany. In line with aggregate results, also the median firm saw an increase in profitability while dividends were subdued. Empirical results show that firms with initially higher leverage ratios increased their saving ratios more after the year 2001, providing arguments for a role of a desire to deleverage in explaining increased corporate savings. No (unanimous) evidence is found that increases in uncertainty and market power of firms affect corporate savings positively.
Influence of coupling effects on analytical solutions of functionally graded (FG) spherical shells of revolution
Authors: Flis Justyna , Muc Aleksander
Published: October 2021

Due to the lack of commercially available finite elements packages allowing us to analyse the behaviour of porous functionally graded (FG) structures in this paper, axisymmetric deformations of coupled FG spherical shells are studied. The analytical solution is presented by using complex hypergeometric polynomial series. The results presented agree closely with the reference results for isotropic spherical shells of revolution. The influence of the effects of material properties is characterized by a multiplier characterizing an unsymmetric shell wall construction (stiffness coupling). The results can be easily adopted in design procedures. The present results can be treated as the benchmark for finite element investigations.

Published: October 2021

Objectives

With the International Classification of Diseases 11th revision (classifying fibromyalgia as a primary pain disorder) soon to be implemented, the importance of pain physicians being able to identify patients with fibromyalgia is emphasized. The diagnostic criteria proposed in 2016 are based on self-reported pain distribution and symptom severity. The study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the 2016 diagnostic criteria for fibromyalgia applied in a population of patients with high impact chronic pain referred for pain rehabilitation.

Methods

The study was performed as a diagnostic accuracy study at two Danish interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation centers, including 215 participants. All participants were evaluated clinically to identify patients with fibromyalgia. The diagnosis was based on expert opinion, but the minimum requirements were: (1) pain in all four body quadrants and axially for at least three months and (2) minimum 8 of 18 positive tender points. Participants filled in the fibromyalgia survey questionnaire, the patient version of the 2016 diagnostic criteria. Sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratios, and positive and negative post-test probabilities were calculated using a clinical diagnosis of fibromyalgia as the reference standard.

Results

Based on clinical diagnosis 45% of the participants were diagnosed with fibromyalgia; of these, only 19% had been diagnosed previously. The 2016 diagnostic criteria demonstrated a sensitivity of 88.5%, a specificity of 81.5%, a positive likelihood ratio of 4.79, a negative likelihood ratio of 0.14, a positive post-test probability of 79.4%, and a negative post-test probability of 10.2%.

Conclusions

Fibromyalgia was severely under-diagnosed among patients with high impact chronic pain referred to tertiary care in two pain rehabilitation centers in Denmark. The 2016 diagnostic criteria showed sufficient discriminatory properties suggesting that the fibromyalgia survey questionnaire can be used as a screening tool assisting the identification of fibromyalgia in this patient population.

Published: October 2021

La producción del tomate en áreas con problemas de salinidad provoca en las plantas una disminución en rendimiento, sin embargo, algunos cambios en condiciones de salinidad pueden resultar positivos en cuanto a los atributos organolépticos en frutos. En el presente trabajo se determinó el papel de la simbiosis entre Solanum lycopersicum cv MicroTom con el hongo micorrízico arbuscular (HMA) Rhizophagus irregularis y atributos fitoquímicos en frutos en dos estados de madurez del fruto (naranja y rojo) creciendo en condiciones de estrés salino (100 mM NaCl y 200 mM NaCl). El porcentaje de colonización radicular del HMA disminuyó de 36% a 10% en la condición de 0 mM y 200 mM de NaCl, respectivamente, mientras que el contenido de carbohidratos, fenoles y flavonoides en frutos, así como el contenido de licopeno con 14 mg/100 g p.f., se incrementan a mayor estrés salino. En presencia del HMA, la concentración de prolina en frutos disminuye, incrementando la concentración a mayor estrés por NaCl.
NONHUMAN SYSTEMS AS A SOURCE OF INTERACTIONAL RESILIENCE AMONG UNIVERSITY STUDENTS RAISED BY ALCOHOL-ABUSING CAREGIVERS IN LESOTHO
Authors: Mushonga Simbai , Van Breda Adrian
Published: October 2021

Research on the resilience of young people who were raised by substance-abusing caregivers is limited. This study aims to explore the internal interactional processes between nonhuman systems and young adults raised by alcohol-abusing caregivers in Lesotho. Multiple in-depth interviews were conducted and a draw-and-write technique applied with 15 university students, six of whom described having interacted with diverse nonhuman systems in their environment. A grounded theory analysis generated two themes: (1) interacting with empowering messages from non-present writers (through songs and books) and inspirational speakers (through videos) and (2) interacting with imaginary friends and inanimate objects (dolls and tattoos) in order to enhance their resilience. Van Breda’s interactional resilience approach, developed from person-in-the-environment perspective, and Margaret Archer’s theory of agency were found to be useful in interpreting the findings. The implications of the study include the need for social workers’ greater focus on young people’s interactions with nonhuman systems for resilience building.
Incidence of pregnancy loss and characterization of fetal development in red pandas
Authors: Lowe Jenna , Curry Erin
Published: October 2021

Previous reports indicate that red pandas (Ailurus fulgens styani) may experience fetal loss during gestation; however, neither the rate nor timing of pregnancy failure has been described in this species. The objective of this study was to utilize ultrasound video and images collected between 2010 and 2020 at the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden to better characterize pregnancy loss and fetal development. Trans-abdominal ultrasound examinations were performed on six female red pandas over a 10-year period, resulting in 12 profiles. Pregnancy was diagnosed via ultrasound in 10 of 12 profiles, and 40.0% of pregnancies showed evidence of fetal loss prior to parturition. Pregnancy loss was classified into lost (2 of 10; 20.0%), in which no cubs were produced, or partial loss (2 of 10; 20.0%), in which two concepti were visualized via ultrasound, but only one cub was born. Fetal loss occurred between days 51 and 23 pre-partum. Fetal growth characteristics were documented, including skeletal ossification (occurring between days 32 and 27 pre-partum), crown-rump length, head length, cranial length, and fetal heart rate (173–206 b.p.m.). These findings provide novel insights into pregnancy loss, may serve as a reference for milestones of fetal development, and may be useful in diagnosing pregnancy and assessing pregnancy loss in red pandas.

Lay summary

For many wildlife species, there is no non-invasive method of determining pregnancy; therefore, the rate of pregnancy loss oftentimes is unknown. Many red pandas in human care that are paired for breeding are observed exhibiting normal mating behaviors; however, only a relatively low proportion of females produce cubs. We utilized animals conditioned for ultrasound examination to diagnose pregnancy and characterize the incidence and timing of pregnancy loss. In total, 12 potential pregnancies were monitored, beginning after breeding season and ending ~2 weeks prior to anticipated cubbing. Of these, ten were (83.3%) were diagnosed as pregnant, with 40% undergoing either full or partial pregnancy loss. Fetal growth characteristics, such as body length and head size, are described which may be useful for monitoring pregnancies and estimating fetal age. Results of this study provide novel data on pregnancy loss in red pandas. Insights into the rate and timing of reproductive failure may illuminate causes and contributing factors, ultimately allowing for improvements in husbandry which may result in greater reproductive success of individuals recommended for breeding.

Published: October 2021

El objetivo fue describir la utilización del colgajo de bola adiposa de Bichat en el cierre de defectos palatinos inmediato a la resección quirúrgica. Casos clínicos: el caso clínico número 1 (hombre de 60 años) se presentó a la consulta con un aumento de volumen en mucosa del paladar blando, de forma ovoidal, no dolorosa a la palpación, coloración similar de la mucosa del paladar, de 3 cm de diámetro y de 4 meses de evolución que le incomoda para hablar y alimentarse. El caso clínico número 2 (hombre de 61 años) concurre a la consulta con una lesión en maxilar superior a nivel del paladar con diagnóstico patológico de adenoma pleomorfo. En ambos casos, se realizó la resección tumoral y la reconstrucción inmediata mediante el uso de bola adiposa de Bichat. Los defectos fueron cubiertos solamente por el tejido adiposo mencionado, generando una restitución ad integrum de la mucosa oral, evolucionaron favorablemente, sin complicaciones postoperatorias y recuperando la función masticatoria en pocas semanas. El colgajo de bola adiposa de Bichat debe ser considerado una alternativa para reparación de defectos postquirúrgicos gracias a su proximidad, disponibilidad, plasticidad y excelente vascularización, evitando así posibles secuelas relacionadas a la cicatrización secundaria.

Published: October 2021

Development of more sensitive imaging techniques has caused an increase in the number of diagnosed small renal tumors. Approximately 2–3% of these lesions are proved to be angiomyolipomas (AML), a rare benign tumor of the kidney sometimes causing pain and hematuria. The most required approach is observation, but in the case of recurrent symptoms or larger tumors, which may cause bleeding, a more active treatment is required. We present two cases of symptomatic AML tumors of different sizes in the kidney: one treated with transarterial embolization (TAE), and the other with percutaneous cryoablation (CRA). The lesions were diagnosed on the basis of contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Both treatments proved to be effective and safe for treating renal AMLs. A follow-up carried out, based on contrast-enhanced CT scan, confirmed complete treatment of AML and decreased lesion size. There are myriad minimally invasive approaches for the treatment of renal AMLs, and the preservation of renal function remains a priority. The most popular treatment option is the selective renal artery embolization. Owing to its limited invasiveness, CRA could be an attractive option for the preventive treatment of AML.
RELAÇÃO ENTRE A SATISFAÇÃO DA COMPETÊNCIA, AUTONOMIA E VÍNCULOS SOCIAIS E O DESINTERESSE PELAS AULAS DE EDUCAÇÃO FÍSICA NO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL
Authors: Aniszewski Ellen , Henrique José
Published: October 2021

O artigo apresenta causas do desinteresse dos alunos de sexto e nono anos do ensino fundamental pelas aulas de educação física a partir do índice de satisfação de suas Necessidades Psicológicas Básicas (NPB), bem como da interpretação dos motivos atribuídos pelos alunos para o afastamento das aulas na disciplina. Recorreu-se ao método misto sequencial, em que a amostra da fase inicial de característica quantitativa (extensiva) foi composta de 153 alunos, seguida pela fase intensiva, de natureza qualitativa, que contou com 12 alunos. Os resultados demonstram que as meninas sentem menos atendidas as suas NPB quando comparadas com os meninos, no sexto ano com ênfase na dimensão competência ampliando para as dimensões autonomia e vínculos sociais no nono. Em sintonia com os objetivos da pesquisa, esse estudo indica que a falta de habilidade (competência), falta de diversificação dos conteúdos para além dos esportes coletivos mais conhecidos (competência/autonomia) e a falta de oportunidades de participação na tomada de decisão (autonomia) se apresentam como motivos que levam os alunos ao desinteresse pela disciplina, incidindo na abstenção da participação nas aulas de educação física.
Evaluation of microstructural strength of bio-cemented sand crust using rheometry
Authors: Arab M. G. , Alsodi R. , Shanablah A. , Kavazanjian E. , Zeiada W.
Published: October 2021

Testing using a dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) and rheological analysis were conducted to analyse the detachment behaviour of bio-cemented soil at a microstructural level. Preventing detachment of soil particles from the ground surface is the key to mitigating the generation of fugitive dust due to wind-blown soil, a significant environmental problem in arid and semi-arid regions. Bio-cementation by way of enzyme-induced carbonate precipitation (EICP) has shown potential for mitigating soil particle detachment and the associated fugitive dust emissions. A strong correlation between particle detachment rate measured in wind tunnel tests and amplitude sweep test results using the DSR demonstrates the ability of the device to capture the detachment potential of soil bio-cemented using EICP. In addition to facilitating optimisation of bio-cementation for dust control, the rheometer tests also give an insight into the efficacy of rheometry for assessing soil microstructure strength for other geotechnical applications.

Authors: PALA Zeynep , ÜNAL Hakan
Published: October 2021

Aim: This research is a cross sectional study which is designed to examine the factors that effect on the consumers’ purchasing behaviors of global sportswear brands. Method: By applying the simple random sampling method, the sample size was determined as (n) = 550 when the number of people in the population (N)=1500 (total number of students in the Faculty of Sports Sciences). The Socio-Demographic Characteristics Form and the 5-point Likert-type Consumer Purchasing Behavior Scale consisting of 7 sub-dimensions developed by Sproles and Kendall (1986) and adapted into Turkish by Bikari (2013) were applied to 550 students who made up the study group by the researcher. Results: The students prefer the most popular global brands which have the largest share in the market. The results also showed that the age, class and income do not affect the preferences. It has been found that there is a positive relationship between brand loyalty, purchasing preferences, perfectionism, fashion orientation, shopping attitude, brand awareness and quality orientation and purchasing styles. It has also found that according to the gender variable there is meaningful difference about the purchasing preferences, fashion orientation and brand awareness dimensions but there is not a meaningful difference for brand loyalty, perfectionism, attitude towards shopping and quality orientation. Conclusion: According to the results, It has been determined that purchasing styles do not differ according to sports brand preferences, there is a positive relationship between brand loyalty, purchasing preferences, perfectionism, fashion oriented, shopping attitude, brand awareness and quality orientation and purchasing styles.
Media Control in the Digital Politics of Indonesia
Authors: Masduki
Published: October 2021

In transitional democratic countries with significant digital media user bases, the “authoritarian turn in digital media” has resulted in new forms of media control designed to counter critical media exposure. This article investigates the ongoing digital pressures experienced by Indonesian media organizations and investigative journalists by the partisan supporters of the country’s new authoritarian political leaders. This article provides a critical review of the forms of media control that have emerged in Indonesia within the past five years (2015–2020), giving special attention to the doxing allegedly faced by several news media and journalistic projects: IndonesiaLeaks; Tempo magazine; and WatchDoc. Applying qualitative methods (observation, semi-structured interviews, review of documents), this study finds that the rise of non-state and societal control over critical media leads to self-censorship amongst media and journalists. This study shows that online trolls, doxing, and hyper-partisan news outlets are used as new forms of media control. Control is also exerted by paid-social media buzzers, whose online identity is established by their use of digital and social media platforms to manipulate information and counter critical news regarding incumbent and oppositional political leaders. This article contributes to the academic debate on the intended forms of media control in digital politics of transitional democracies.
Boundary Control as Gatekeeping in Facebook Groups
Authors: Malinen Sanna
Published: October 2021

Facebook groups host user-created communities on Facebook’s global platform, and their administrative structure consists of members, volunteer moderators, and governance mechanisms developed by the platform itself. This study presents the viewpoints of volunteers who moderate groups on Facebook that are dedicated to political discussion. It sheds light on how they enact their day-to-day moderation work, from platform administration to group membership, while acknowledging the demands that come from both these tasks. As volunteer moderators make key decisions about content, their work significantly shapes public discussion in their groups. Using data obtained from 15 face-to-face interviews, this qualitative study sheds light on volunteer moderation as a means of media control in complex digital networks. The findings show that moderation concerns not just the removal of content or contacts but, most importantly, it is about protecting group norms by controlling who has the access to the group. Facebook’s volunteer moderators have power not only to guide discussion but, above all, to decide who can participate in it, which makes them important gatekeepers of the digital public sphere.
Conceptual analysis in linguistics in early XXI century
Authors: Piatkovska T.
Published: October 2021

The article deals with the conceptual analysis as a complex of methods of concept analysis. The relevance of the attempt to structure the existing methods is proved by the infant stage of linguoconceptology in modern science. Modern linguistics has not offered a single classical method of conceptual analysis despite a number of works on concept methodology in home and foreign linguistics. The research has been made through the analysis of Ukrainian and Russian linguoconceptoloists’ works. Special attention has been paid to the influence of integration (the general scientific tendency). The article has considered the structure of the concept and has given examples of its analysis. The object of the analysis, which is at the same time one of the “entrances” into concept, has been clarified. The purpose of the analysis has been defined as concept modeling. Distribution of the methods of the conceptual analysis through scientific paradigms has been considered. The relative character of the conceptual analysis chosen and the type of the concept, the researches item of its structure and the researcher’s purpose has been studied. Possible trends of concept studies have been revealed. In general, the article has outlined a range of important issues of conceptual analysis: choice of methods, material researched, methods of structure study, optimal algorithm of concept analysis. The article may contribute to selecting the algorithm of the concept analysis. Conceptual analysis has prospects for further research, as some aspects of concept remain nonberbal.

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is most often structures to be damaged. In this research investigated biomechanics of walking at the timing, kinematics and dynamics parameters for 34 patients which had verified rupture of ACL. The 11 patients were investigated before surgical treatment and 23 after it. Investigations of patients of the first group were made at the time of 1 week to 6 years after trauma of the knee joint (the average meaning is 18 months). The second group was investigated at the time from 1,5 month to 5,5 years (the average meaning is 13 months).

At the current research we did not find any specific for rupture of ACL functional disturbances during level walking compare to normal data and healthy limp. However, we assume some tendency to increase of flection-extention movement at the damaged knee joint after surgery.

This result could give us some basis for revision the term of instability, because we did not get definite symptoms at our study.

Desenho e Universalidade. Notas sobre os desenhos de Júlio Pomar na Amazónia, 1988
Authors: Rahim Shakil
Published: October 2021

ResumoOs desenhos de Júlio Pomar, no Xingu, são registos das estruturas de movimento do corpo, da luz e do espaço, na representação dos rituais e práticas locais. Na Amazónia, o desenhador encontra o contraste entre a luz-visibilidade da aldeia e a luz-invisibilidade da floresta, que organiza as relações de claro-escuro, natureza-cultura e estrutura-entropia. O traço é gestual e desassossegado, com linhas e densidades gráficas que investigam a anatomia, o volume, a sombra, a perspetiva, a escala e a proporção, do nu individual e coletivo. Ritmos, composições e tensões visuais, com desenhos revisitados e acumulações entre observação e memórias. Com o desenho dos resíduos do movimento como estruturas da perceção e aceleração visual, Pomar sintetiza o ‘modelo reduzido’ de Lévi-Strauss ao comprimir a transferência gráfica com a inteligência da atenção visual. Com esta interpretação temporal encontra-se com a universalidade da experiência humana.AbstractJúlio Pomar's drawings, in the Xingu, are traces of the movement structures of the body, light and space, on local rituals and practices representation. In the Amazon, the drawer finds the contrast between the light-visibility of the village and the light-invisibility of the forest, which organizes the relations of light-dark, nature-culture and structure-entropy. The stroke is gestural and restless, with lines and graphical densities that investigate anatomy, volume, shadow, perspective, scale, and proportion, of individual and collective nude. Rhythms, compositions, and visual tensions, with revisited drawings and accumulations between observation and memories. With the drawing of movement residues as structures of perception and visual acceleration, Pomar synthesizes Lévi-Strauss' ‘reduced model’ by compressing the graphic transference with the intelligence of visual attention. With this time interpretation he meets with the universality of human experience.
SOBREVIVÊNCIA DE ESPÉCIES DE MARACUJAZEIRO COM OU SEM EXPOSIÇÃO PARCIAL DAS RAÍZES, EM ÁREA COM HISTÓRICO DE Fusarium solani

Published: October 2021

A passicultura destaca-se como uma importante atividade econômica em várias regiões do Brasil, sobretudo no Nordeste, que detém mais de 60% da produção nacional. Ainda assim, o sistema de produção da cultura do maracujá é carente em tecnologias, sendo este um dos motivos do aumento da incidência de doenças e baixa produtividade da cultura. Entre as doenças importantes para o maracujazeiro no Brasil, destaca-se a podridão do colo e raiz, causada pelo Fusarium solani (Mart.) Sacc., principalmente por causar a morte das plantas infectadas e ainda não existir um manejo curativo. Portanto, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a sobrevivência de três espécies de maracujazeiro: Passiflora edulis Sims, Passiflora cincinnata Mast e Passiflora foetida L., submetidas ao sistema de plantio com e sem exposição parcial das raízes, avaliadas em dez períodos, em esquema fatorial 3x2x10, em blocos casualizados. A incidência de F. solani foi realizada por meio de levantamento semanal do número de plantas mortas. O experimento foi conduzido no período de janeiro a junho de 2019, em uma área de 0,3 ha com histórico de F. solani, localizada no Instituto Federal Baiano campus Guanambi. Verificou-se que a exposição parcial do sistema radicular reduz o percentual de plantas mortas por F. solani, e, dentre as espécies avaliadas, destaca-se o P. foetida como altamente resistente ao F. solani. Portanto, o uso de estratégias de manejo integradas é uma alternativa viável aos passicultores para mitigar os danos causados pela podridão do colo e raiz.

Published: October 2021

Purpose: Despite evidence that food insecure African Americans with type 2 diabetes are at particularly high risk for poor health outcomes, there is currently a lack of information on their lived experience. This qualitative study aimed to identify chal­lenges, facilitators, and barriers to effective diabetes care for food insecure African Americans with type 2 diabetes residing in an inner city.Methods: In fall 2018, we conducted two focus groups attended by a total of 16 food insecure adults with type 2 diabetes residing in the inner city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. A standardized moderator guide included questions to explore the role of food inse­curity in managing diabetes, and facilitators that improve diabetes management within the context of food insecurity. Focus groups were audio recorded and recordings were transcribed by a professional transcription service. A grounded theory approach was used for analysis.Results: Six major challenges existed at the individual level (diet/nutrition, exercise, dia­betes knowledge and skills, complications from diabetes, a family history of diabe­tes, and a preoccupation with food). Five major barriers and facilitators existed both internally and externally to the individuals (access to food, medications, stress, cost of health-related needs and religion/spiritual­ity).Conclusions: This study identified multiple challenges, barriers, and facilitators to effec­tive care for food insecure African American adults with type 2 diabetes. It is impera­tive to incorporate this understanding in future work by using an ecological approach to investigate strategies to address food insecurity beyond a singular focus on access to food.

Authors: Águido Cynthia Maria Santos , Fazzi Rita de Cássia
Published: October 2021

O artigo apresenta resultados preliminares de pesquisa realizada com adolescentes autores de ato infracional em cumprimento da medida socioeducativa de semiliberdade em Belo Horizonte. A partir da abordagem do curso de vida e da metodologia de narrativas biográficas, buscou-se compreender as sequências do ingresso e permanência de dois adolescentes em suas trajetórias infracionais, abordando a infância, interações sociais, adesão à prática infracional e aprofundamento do envolvimento no “mundo do crime”. Apesar das especificidades e particularidades de cada trajetória e da forma única como os sujeitos constroem sua identidade ao longo de suas vivências e interações sociais, foi possível identificar semelhanças nas biografias narradas pelos adolescentes sujeitos da pesquisa.

Could a Simple Nerve Block be Considered as a Treatment Option for Occipital Neuralgia with Both Short-Term and Long-Term Effects?
Authors: Kwun Jeong-Woo , Kim Young Jin , So Jin-Shup
Published: October 2021

Objective: The study aims to show both the short- and long-term treatment outcome of occipital nerve block (ONB) patients with occipital neuralgia (ON).Methods: Patients who visited our hospital between 2013 and 2020 were reviewed retrospectively. Patients were excluded if the medical records were incomplete, if they had received a cervical operation, if they had a traumatic event prior to the symptom onset, or if the follow-up period was less than 3 months. ONB targeted the greater occipital nerve, the lesser occipital nerve or both. Short term follow-up period was defined as 3 months and long term was defined as 12 months. Injection consisted of a mixture of triamcinolone acetonide, lidocaine, and normal saline. Visual analogue scale (VAS) was recorded and compared before and during the follow-up to period to assess treatment outcome.Results: Clinical charts of 309 candidates were reviewed and 72 patients were excluded, making it 237 patients. VAS scores significantly decreased in both 3-month follow-up (from 7.20±0.94 to 3.48 ±1.66, p<0.05) and after 1 year follow-up (from 7.20±0.94 to 2.71±1.07, p<0.05). Only 8 patients (3.3%) were refractory to ONB and the procedure was found to be relatively safe since only 2 patients (0.8%) showed transient side effects.Conclusion: There are many treatment options for ON. However, from the results of our study, conservative treatment via ONB may have sufficient effect in controlling symptoms of ON in both short and long term.

Published: October 2021

Objective: To confirm the benefits of vertebroplasty (VP) in selected patients with acute vertebral compression fracture (VCF) and analyze whether the study of a weight dynamic plain lateral radiograph would help in making decisions to perform VP. Using retrospective analysis, we aimed to determine the radiological characteristics of patients benefiting from VP.Methods: Data were collected from 54 patients (age, 56-97 years) diagnosed with osteoporosis and compression fractures between December 2013 and January 2018. Each patient was hospitalized with ≥2 weeks of absolute bed rest (ABR) and treated for osteoporosis. Plain lateral supine radiography of the fractured spine was performed prior to diagnosis, and both supine and standing spinal radiographs were taken 1 and 2 weeks after ABR. Patients were categorized into the VP and non-VP groups 2 weeks after ABR.Results: Although patients with worse pain and functional progress were selected to undergo VP, patients in the VP group presented better outcomes in the fourth week of evaluation than those in the non-VP group. In a retrospective analysis of the radiographic study, changes in the compression rate between supine and standing (weight-bearing) X-rays (ΔCR), showed a statistically significant correlation with the patient’s outcome in the second week.Conclusion: VP was found to be an effective management option for patients with VCF. A weightbearing radiographic study of VCFs provided valuable information on patient selection for VP. Therefore, patient selection based on subjective surveys and radiological studies to determine the benefits of VP could be a beneficial management strategy.

Published: October 2021

Cervical artificial discs (CADs) are a surgical option in selected patients with cervical spinal disc degeneration. Although CADs have been available for many years, concerns persist regarding long-term safety, durability, and implant-related failure. We report a case of nucleus herniation of a Mobi-C implant without trauma, which is a rare complication. Two years after implantation of a Mobi-C implant, a 47-year-old man presented with acute paraplegia without a history of trauma. On cervical magnetic resonance imaging, a T2-high signal intensity lesion was noted in the ventral aspect of the spinal cord at the T1-2 level. During emergent surgery, nucleus herniation of the Mobi-C was detected. After surgery, the patient could walk without assistance. Posterior herniation of the Mobi-C nucleus without trauma is a rare complication that should be considered in surgical planning and follow-up.

Background

The role of serotonin and its metabolic pathway in proper functioning of the pancreas has not been thoroughly investigated yet in acute pancreatitis (AP) patients. Tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) as the rate-limiting enzyme of serotonin synthesis has been considered for possible associations in various diseases. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in TPH genes have been already described in associations with psychiatric and digestive system disorders. This study aimed to explore the association of a rs211105 (T/G) polymorphism in TPH1 gene with tryptophan hydroxylase 1 concentrations in blood serum in a population of acute pancreatitis patients, and to investigate this association with acute pancreatitis susceptibility.
Results

Our data showed an association between the presence of the T allele at the position rs211105 (OR = 2.47, 95% CI: 0.94-6.50, p = 0.06) under conditions of a decreased AP incidence. For TT and GT genotypes in the control group, the lowest concentration of TPH was associated with higher serotonin levels (TT: Rs=-0.415, p=0.0018; GT: Rs=-0,457, p=0.0066), while for the AP group the highest levels of TPH among the TT genotype were associated with lower levels of serotonin (TT: Rs=-0.749, p<0.0001, and in the GG genotype higher levels of TPH were associated with higher levels of serotonin (GG: Rs=-0.738, p=0.037).
Conclusions

Here, a new insight in the potential role of a selected genetic factor in pancreatitis development was shown. Not only the metabolic pathway of serotonin, but also factors affecting serotonin synthesis may be interesting and important points in acute pancreatitis.
Microclimatic Conditions Mediate The Effect of Deadwood and Forest Characteristics On a Threatened Beetle Species, Tragosoma Depsarium
Authors: Lindman Ly , Öckinger Erik , Ranius Thomas
Published: October 2021

While climate change has increased interest in the influence of microclimate on many organisms, species inhabiting deadwood have rarely been studied. Here we explore the relationships between characteristics of forest stands, deadwood and microclimate, and analyse how the microclimate inside deadwood affects the occurrence of wood-living organisms, exemplified by the red-listed beetle Tragosoma depsarium. Some of the measured deadwood and forest variables explain much of the variation in temperature, but little of humidity aspects of the microclimate within deadwood. Several variables known to influence habitat quality for deadwood-dependent species were found to correlate with microclimate viz.: warmer conditions in standing deadwood and open canopy than in downed logs and under a closed canopy; higher humidity and more stable daily temperatures in shaded habitats and in downed and large-diameter wood, than in sun-exposed locations and standing, small-diameter wood.T. depsarium occupancy and abundance were negatively correlated with daily temperature fluctuations, and positively related to spring and summer temperature and humidity. This can explain why the species occurred more frequently in deadwood items with characteristics associated with these microclimatic conditions, i.e. downed large-diameter logs occurring in open conditions. Since microclimatic conditions are important for T. depsarium and related to several habitat characteristics, we expect the effects of these characteristics to interact with each other, and for species’ habitat requirements to vary due to local and regional climate conditions, and to changes due to climate warming.
