Late-devonian sakhara dunite-clinopiroxenite-gabbro complex
(East Magnitogorsk zone, South Urals): petrological-mineralogical features and geodynamic setting
Authors: Surin T.N.
Published: April 2021

The relevance of the work is caused by necessary regional analysis of magmatic evolution of the East Magnitogorsk belt and refnement of ideas on geodynamics of the South Urals. The geology and petrochemical-mineralogical features of the Sakhara dunite-clinopyroxenite-gabbro complex in the South Urals are characterized in the paper. Its late Frasnian age is substantiated. The composition of olivine, clinopyroxene and chromite in rocks of the complex are determined. The restite nature of dunites is proved. It is shown that rocks of the complex are similar to those of the Urals platinum belt and belong to Ural-Alaskan type. It is concluded that the complex formed in island-arc geodynamic setting and in the beginning of the formation of a mature island arc. The location of massifs of the complex is an additional argument in favor of a western dip (in the present-day coordinates) of a subduction paleozone at the moment of its formation. Crystallization diferentiation was a leading mechanism of petrogenesis of rocks of the complex.

The paper reports on the results of studies of supergene sulfate mineralization found in a tunnel of the Pyatigorskiy Proval cave. The sulfate minerals include humberstonite K3Na7Mg2(SO4)6(NO3)2·6H2O, sid-eronatrite Na2Fe(SO4)2(OH)·3H2O, metasideronatrite Na2Fe(SO4)2(OH)·H2O, natrojarosite NaFe3(SO4)2(OH)6, tamarugite NaAl(SO4)2·6H2O, and epsomite MgSO4·7H2O, which were identifed by electron probe micro-analysis, powder X-ray difraction and infrared spectroscopy. The presence sulfate sulfur can be related to both the oxidation of sulfde grains, which were found in some samples, and the oxidation of gaseous H2S air oxygen. Humberstonite and metasideronatrite are found for the frst time in Russia.

Published: April 2021

The study of human motor activity during sleep in the period of adolescence/early adulthood was carried out. The study involved 35 healthy people — 18 women (51.5%) and 17 men (49.5%) aged 18 to 21 years. The data was obtained and processed with the employment of an original information-analytical system developed by the authors. When analyzing the data, we identified and used the following parameters: the number of movements, the maximum value of jerk and the coefficient of motor activity. For the number of movements, the average value was 9.6 and 10.2 for men and women, respectively. For the maximum value of jerk, the average value was 26.4 g/s and 24.3 g/s for men and women, respectively. For the coefficient of physical activity, the average value was 10.3% and 12.7% for men and for women, respectively. Thus, the results of the study are fundamental for understanding the adolescent period of postnatal human ontogenesis, indicate sexual dimorphism, and can also be used in research and practice in the field of physiology, neurology, neurosurgery, psychiatry and functional diagnostics with account of the specific age interval, as well as for prognosis.

Occlusal disorders caused by missing teeth and without timely and proper treatment, lead to poorly diagnosed pathology of the masticatory muscles and the temporomandibular joint. Our study included 31 patients with dental defects, impaired canine guidance, and TMJ pathology. With a specifically developed computer program we accomplished the differentiation of various degrees of muscle and joint dysfunction in the temporomandibular joint. The results obtained by examining the patients prior to, and after the treatment, provide evidence to the effect that the modified occlusal splint has on the upper jaw.
Comparação de narrativas sobre Canudos na perspectiva da história dos saberes psicológicos
Authors: Bollela Gabriela Daud , Massimi Marina
Published: April 2021

O objetivo do artigo é comparar duas narrativas acerca de um evento histórico à luz da história dos saberes psicológicos: o movimento de Canudos liderado por Antônio Conselheiro. As narrativas comparadas são: a interpretação dada por Euclides da Cunha acerca das características psicológicas dos participantes desse movimento, em Os Sertões; e os relatos acerca das experiências subjetivas vivenciadas em narrativas orais de sobreviventes de Canudos, colhidas por Odorico Tavares. As duas fontes, produzidas em diferentes gêneros literários (literatura e memória oral) focam as vivências dos participantes de Canudos, divergindo na forma como foram colhidas: a primeira por um observador externo e escritor interprete da visão cultural da intelectualidade brasileira da época; a segunda, expressão narrativa dos atores do movimento entrevistados. Os lugares-comuns evidenciados em ambas as narrativas foram analisados à luz dos respectivos universos histórico-culturais. As divergências emergentes são relacionadas a teorias e saberes psicológicos inerentes a esses universos.

Published: April 2021

Three-dimensional acoustic impedance microscopy was proposed for human cheek skin observation. A focused ultrasound wave was transmitted through a polymer substrate in contact with the skin, and the reflection was acquired by a time-domain measurement. The reflection was compared with that from a reference material representing the impulse response of the system. Time–frequency (dual-domain) deconvolution was performed to calculate the time-dependent reflection coefficient, which can subsequently be interpreted as the local acoustic impedance along the depth. The optimal conditions for deconvolution were discussed in order to perform quick and stable signal processing. Moreover, it was found that the stability of the dual-domain deconvolution was improved by adding the DC component to the transfer matrix, leading to a more stable calculation of the acoustic impedance distribution. The stability was statistically evaluated by means of the intensity distribution of the deconvolved signal. Finally, a 3D human cheek skin image was successfully reconstructed.

Authors: Gómez Álvarez José Enrique , Chávez Hernández Nora Hilda
Published: April 2021

Una de las dificultades para la atención de los pacientes oncológicos es la posibilidad de que no colaboren con su tratamiento. A partir del análisis conceptual y del estudio de dos casos, se propone mejorar la calidad del procedimiento en el consultorio de oncología de atención ambulatoria en la Clínica 180 del IMSS.1 La literatura clínica revela diversas limitaciones de los pacientes al momento de consentir tratamientos; una muy frecuente es la mención del estrés. En los casos analizados aparecen, además, informaciones previas equivocadas sobre el tratamiento y la gravedad de la enfermedad. A partir de los datos encontrados, se diseñó un algoritmo decisional para señalar los momentos que pueden facilitar y permitir el consentimiento informado. Se concluye que el consentimiento debe darse a lo largo de todo el proceso, y que el algoritmo decisional es una propuesta de mejora en este sentido.

Authors: Y Chien Fred , Stewart Kevin , Capriotti Kara , Amoakohene Samuel
Published: April 2021

Background: ® Halodine oral and nasal antiseptics (Halodine LLC, Miami, FL USA) have been employed for routine oral
and nasal decontamination as part of SARS-CoV-2 transmission reduction protocols.These preparations designed for the
mouth and nose have been developed as oral sprays (1.25% povidone-iodine solution), oral rinses (1.75% povidoneiodine solution), nasal swabsticks (2.5% povidone-iodine solution), and nasal irrigation solutions (1.25% povidoneiodine solution). Methods: In a cross-sectional survey study, individuals who used any of the Halodine nasal or oral
antiseptic products as part of a SARS-CoV-2 transmission reduction protocol were consented and invited to voluntarily
complete a written questionnaire based on their practice and usage. Questions were derived from the Sino-Nasal
Outcome Test (SNOT-22) to capture overall comfort and nasal symptomology.Results: There were 133 individuals ages
2-86 years who used Halodine in the forms of oral sprays,oral rinse,nasal swab-sticks,and nasal irrigation solutions for
oral and nasal decontamination and volunteered to complete a satisfaction survey to assess tolerability.
Decontamination was well tolerated; 99.2% of respondents reported no pain and 88.0% reported no nasal symptoms.
Loss of taste, loss of smell, dizziness or blocked sinuses were not reported in any individuals. Three percent of
respondents reported clearing of their sinuses.Halodine oral and/or nasal antiseptics were used two or more times per
day in 94.7% of respondents.Discussion: Halodine for oral and nasal decontamination appears to be well tolerated for
repeated daily use, even in individuals reporting 4 months or more of use. No individuals reported severe symptoms
such as loss of taste, loss of smell, or dizziness. No pain was reported in 99.2% of individuals,while the remaining <1%
reported very mild/minimal discomfort. Conclusion: These findings point to high tolerability of Halodine for repeated
oral and nasal decontamination.

Published: April 2021

Mastocytosis is a heterogeneous group of disorder characterized by abnormal growth and accumulation of mast cells in
skin and other organs such as bones, gastrointestinal tract, liver, spleen and lymph node. A 3 months old male child,
presented with multiple, discrete, reddish, papulo-nodular lesions all over body which became more prominent and
itchy after a warm bath and crying. Darrier sign was positive and systemic examination was normal. SCORMA index was
calculated. Skin biopsy was suggestive of Langherans cell histiocytosis. Immuno- histochemistry profile was positive for
CD68, Vimentin, LCA and CD117. This condition needs high index of suspicion and should be differentiated from other
causes of urticaria. It is a benign condition, but parental counselling and avoidance of trigger factors is essential. It is
imperative to rule out malignancy and systemic complications in a case of cutaneous mastocytosis.
PROCALCITONIN AS A DIAGNOSTIC MARKER FOR SEPSIS AND ANTIBIOTIC THERAPY IN SURGICAL CARE PATIENTS
Authors: Prakash Varun , P Umapathi , M Ganesan
Published: April 2021

Background: Sepsis is becoming a frequent complication in hospitalized patients. Early and differential diagnosis of sepsis is needed critically.Procalcitonin is useful for the diagnosis of sepsis but its prognostic value regarding mortality is unclear. Aim: To study about the utility of procalcitonin as a diagnostic biomarker for bacterial infections and its efficient use as a marker for antibiotic therapy. Materials and methods:This prospective observational study was conducted among patients admitted with Septicemia in a tertiary care hospital from January 2019 to May 2020.In Sixty consecutive patients of sepsis,Procalcitonin (PCT),C-reactive protein (CRP) measurements were recorded in addition to their demographic, laboratory values and treatment outcomes. Results:Mortality rates were 6.5%, 28.6% and 62.5% respectively in the three groups of sepsis, severe sepsis, and septic shock, respectively. It was inferred that more the severity of sepsis,more is the positivity rate of serum procalcitonin levels. Similarly,the serum PCT values were higher among non-survivors [13.1ng/dl]. Procalcitonin value was a better predictor of all-cause short-term mortality than Creactive protein as denoted by ROC analysis. Conclusions: PCT done once at the time of admission was proven to be very good,cost effective biomarker for the early identification of sepsis better than CRP levels and cultures.

Published: April 2021

A divulgação científica tem ganhado especial atenção nas discussões a respeito da ciência e do ensino de ciências, muito devido à pesquisa realizada em 1987 sobre a percepção pública da ciência e da tecnologia, visando ações de divulgação científica. Os PCNEM e as PCN+ que trazem orientações sobre o uso dessa forma de comunicação no ensino são marcos na aproximação entre ensino e divulgação científica. Assim, incorporando-se à nossa cultura e aumentando a importância de analisar criticamente essas informações para entender melhor o que é e para que serve a divulgação científica, pois, sem alguns cuidados, pode ter impactos negativos. Buscamos investigar as relações entre as ideias ou percepções do público participante das pesquisas e suas próprias atitudes, divulgadas como resultados da pesquisa “Percepção Pública da Ciência e Tecnologia no Brasil”. Os dados mostram uma população confiante nos benefícios da C&T, contudo sem saber quais benefícios, nem apresentando o mesmo grau de confiança no solucionar problemas como fome e pobreza e, ainda, considerando das maiores responsáveis pelos problemas ambientais. Também contrastantes quanto à importância da participação em decisões sobre o rumo da ciência, enquanto mostra-se pouco interessada por ciência ou acredita que pessoas não são capazes de aprender ciência.

Published: April 2021

Devido a alterações em diretrizes educacionais e legislações, a presença de alunos deficientes em salas de aulas regulares aumentou. Os alunos deficientes visuais acabam excluídos pois o ensino está tradicionalmente pautado em padrões visuais. Algumas pesquisas foram desenvolvidas na Universidade Federal de São Carlos, no Campus de Araras, visando criar alternativas de ensino inclusivo de Química que abrangessem estes alunos. Assim, o seguinte trabalho foi proposto com o intuito de compreender como o ensino de deficientes visuais no âmbito da química tem sido realizado nos últimos anos. Para isso, foram utilizadas técnicas de Análise Textual Discursiva com o apoio do software NVivo. As categorias de análise criadas permitiram compreender como os autores entendem pontos cruciais no processo de inclusão, como a capacidade dos alunos deficientes visuais de aprenderem conceitos químicos. Enquanto alguns trabalhos consistiam em estudos teóricos que permitiram uma melhor compreensão de como a química tem sido ensinada em contextos reais de educação e quais as maiores dificuldades encontradas, outros trataram especificamente do desenvolvimento de atividades de ensino. Constatou-se uma lacuna no que se refere ao ensino de química para alunos com deficiência visual e um distanciamento entre a pesquisa científica e a educação básica brasileira.

A pesquisa que embasou o presente artigo, de natureza qualitativa, teve por objetivo analisar as linhas temáticas do Encontro Nacional de Pesquisa em Educação para a Ciência (ENPEC) na década de 2010. Para tanto, realizou-se o levantamento dos dados, referente ao quantitativo de trabalhos publicados em cada linha temática, nos anais do evento, nas edições de 2011 a 2019, de modo que estes dados foram tabulados e representados em um gráfico. Mediante a representação gráfica foi possível verificar o comportamento das linhas temáticas ao longo das últimas cinco edições do ENPEC. Desse modo, pode-se verificar que as publicações por linha temática, no período investigado, se comportaram de forma diversa, apontando para a consolidação e criação de algumas linhas, a supressão e a respectiva incorporação em outras, a estabilidade, bem como a diminuição ou aumento na produção de trabalhos. Os aspectos verificados neste estudo são oriundos dos diálogos entre diferentes pesquisadores, da ampliação de pesquisas e da consolidação da área e do evento.

The article provides data on the effect of the concentration of I-I electrolyte salt on the transfer through the Vontron VNF 1812 nanofiltration membrane. Data for NaNO3, NaCl, NaHCO3, NaH2PO4 and alkali metal nitrates are presented. The experimental data obtained suggest that the flux of water and salt are determined by the interaction of anions with protonated amino groups, which are part of the material of the selective membrane layer. An increase in the transmembrane flux of alkali metal nitrates is observed in the series CsNO3>KNO3>NaNO3>LiNO3. This series is opposite to the series of selectivity in the sorption of metals on carboxyl cation exchangers, but this series coincides with the series of increasing diffusant mass. It is noted that for all the solutions under study, water transfer can occur at an operating pressure significantly lower than the osmotic pressure calculated by the Van't Hoff equation, which indicates the essential role of filtration in the traditional understanding of this term

The problem of the of a non-stationary system state predicting is considered. The decision based on the joint processing of the results obtained by a group of independent statistical extrapolators. In the terminology of multiagent systems, each extrapolator is an intelligent agent. The quality of the agent solutions is evaluated on retrospective data and is used as weight characteristic in the problem of a terminal solution estimation. The specificity of non-stationary processes with a chaotic system component leads to the empiricca version of the forecast generation algorithm

Published: April 2021

Pak-Afghan relations are consisting of non-cooperation and mistrust, which are narrating the
Game Theory. Just after the inception of Pakistan, it was the instinct desire to have cordial
relations with Afghanistan. Unfortunately, the misapprehension of Afghanistan created the
vacuum of non-cooperation between the two neighboring countries. Afghanistan policy of
defection over Durand Line, Pakhtunistan and support for the militants in FATA and
Baluchistan and resultantly Pakistan’s support for Mujahedeen and Taliban, further
aggravated the situation. Though limited cooperation was seen during Daud era, Taliban
regime and in the War against Terrorism but it could not let cooperation to get roots. This
paper employs the approach of Game Theory to analyses the payoff of cooperation and noncooperation in the light of Pak-Afghan relations during Cold War. Furthermore, it
investigates that how much the policy of cooperation and give-and-take will bring payoff for
both of the two

According to Johan Galtung’s theory, war journalism and peace journalism are two frames.
Peace journalism is a solution oriented while war journalism escalates conflicts. This study
aims at comparatively exploring the nature of coverage during a conflict. This paper
examines the role of the Pakistani and Indian elite press after the Pulwama attack, leading to
the Balakot airstrike. For the collection of data, researchers have selected four leading elite
newspapers i.e. two from Pakistan and two from India. The researchers have collected two
month’s data after the incident of Pulwama leading to air craft conflict between the two
states. Data is collected through content analysis which is further analyzed. The findings
indicated that the media with dominate war frames compromise national security.

This research intends to examine and analyze the coverage of COVID-19 pandemic in
leading Urdu newspapers of Pakistan and its effects on readers. For this purpose, this study
applied quantitative content analysis and survey method. News stories (n=690) of COVID-19
were selected randomly from two newspapers, daily Jang and daily Express to find out the
elements of fear, hope, awareness and precautions, while news readers and viewers were
selected as respondents (n=455) to know the fear level and preventive measures taken by the
news audience. The results found that newspapers paid attention to the crisis in terms of risk
perception, and public opted preventive measures after news exposure. Survey result shows
that television viewers have greater fear of COVID-19 than the social media users and
newspapers readers. It further shows that females have more fear of COVID-19 than males,
and they are taking more precautionary measures. Moreover, result shows that fear of
COVID-19 is a significant predictor of precautionary behaviour for males than females.

Is Incorporation the Solution to the Enigma of Corporate Tax Residency for International Tax Purposes?
Authors: Lincoln Charles Edward Andrew
Published: April 2021

Incorporation of a company for testing residency—if applied uniformly—is likely the best and most accurate way to reflect corporate residency for tax purposes. However, it does not always reflect economic reality. There is not a consensus on what the best approach is. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) countries overwhelmingly use three tests for residency: incorporation, central management and control, and domicile. Indeed, a court in the United States or other jurisdictions may often ask if tax-avoidance motives exist when incorporation occurs in one jurisdiction and central management and control occurs in another.

This Article follows the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on many international tax provisions that caused a shift in thinking at both the U.S. level, and at the international level in terms of deciding what formulations would be the best way to ensure proper taxation while promoting horizontal and vertical equity.

The genesis of this Article is a response and critique of an article on the same subject by the same author: Charles Edward Andrew Lincoln IV, Is Incorporation Really Better Than Central Management and Control for Testing Corporate Residency? An Answer to Corporate Tax Evasion and Inversion, 43 Ohio N.U. L. Rev. 359 (2017). The author now critiques the point of that article and comes to a different conclusion based on different criteria: specifically, new case law, Musgrave’s economic theory of accretion of wealth, and the importance of substance-over-form doctrines.
