Hippocampus Guides Adaptive Learning during Dynamic Social Interactions
Authors: FeldmanHall Oriel , Montez David F. , Phelps Elizabeth A. , Davachi Lila , Murty Vishnu P.
Published: December 2020

How do we evaluate whether someone will make a good friend or collaborative peer? A hallmark of human cognition is the ability to make adaptive decisions based on information garnered from limited prior experiences. Using an interactive social task measuring adaptive choice (deciding who to reengage or avoid) in male and female participants, we find the hippocampus supports value-based social choices following single-shot learning. These adaptive choices elicited a suppression signal in the hippocampus, revealing sensitivity for the subjective perception of a person and how well they treat you during choice. The extent to which the hippocampus was suppressed was associated with flexibly interacting with prior generous individuals and avoiding selfish individuals. Further, we found that hippocampal signals during decision-making were related to subsequent memory for a person and the offer they made before. Consistent with the hippocampus leveraging previously executed choices to solidify a reliable neural signature for future adaptive behavior, we also observed a later hippocampal enhancement. These findings highlight the hippocampus playing a multifaceted role in socially adaptive learning.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTAdaptively navigating social interactions requires an integration of prior experiences with information gleaned from the current environment. While most research has focused on striatal-based feedback learning, open questions remain regarding the role of hippocampal-based episodic memory systems. Here, we show that during social decisions based on prior experience, hippocampal suppression signals were sensitive to adaptive choice, while hippocampal enhancements was related to subsequent memory for the original social interaction. These findings highlight the hippocampus playing a multifaceted role in socially adaptive learning.
Comprehensive Estimates of Potential Synaptic Connections in Local Circuits of the Rodent Hippocampal Formation by Axonal-Dendritic Overlap
Authors: Tecuatl Carolina , Wheeler Diek W. , Sutton Nate , Ascoli Giorgio A.
Published: December 2020

A quantitative description of the hippocampal formation synaptic architecture is essential for understanding the neural mechanisms of episodic memory. Yet the existing knowledge of connectivity statistics between different neuron types in the rodent hippocampus only captures a mere 5% of this circuitry. We present a systematic pipeline to produce first-approximation estimates for most of the missing information. Leveraging thewww.Hippocampome.orgknowledge base, we derive local connection parameters between distinct pairs of morphologically identified neuron types based on their axonal-dendritic overlap within every layer and subregion of the hippocampal formation. Specifically, we adapt modern image analysis technology to determine the parcel-specific neurite lengths of every neuron type from representative morphologic reconstructions obtained from either sex. We then compute the average number of synapses per neuron pair using relevant anatomic volumes from the mouse brain atlas and ultrastructurally established interaction distances. Hence, we estimate connection probabilities and number of contacts for >1900 neuron type pairs, increasing the available quantitative assessments more than 11-fold. Connectivity statistics thus remain unknown for only a minority of potential synapses in the hippocampal formation, including those involving long-range (23%) or perisomatic (6%) connections and neuron types without morphologic tracings (7%). The described approach also yields approximate measurements of synaptic distances from the soma along the dendritic and axonal paths, which may affect signal attenuation and delay. Overall, this dataset fills a substantial gap in quantitatively describing hippocampal circuits and provides useful model specifications for biologically realistic neural network simulations, until further direct experimental data become available.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTThe hippocampal formation is a crucial functional substrate for episodic memory and spatial representation. Characterizing the complex neuron type circuit of this brain region is thus important to understand the cellular mechanisms of learning and navigation. Here we present the first numerical estimates of connection probabilities, numbers of contacts per connected pair, and synaptic distances from the soma along the axonal and dendritic paths, for more than 1900 distinct neuron type pairs throughout the dentate gyrus, CA3, CA2, CA1, subiculum, and entorhinal cortex. This comprehensive dataset, publicly released online atwww.Hippocampome.org, constitutes an unprecedented quantification of the majority of the local synaptic circuit for a prominent mammalian neural system and provides an essential foundation for data-driven, anatomically realistic neural network models.
Spatial and Temporal Arrangement of Recurrent Inhibition in the Primate Upper Limb
Authors: Edgley Steve A. , Williams Elizabeth R. , Baker Stuart N.
Published: December 2020

Renshaw cells mediate recurrent inhibition between motoneurons within the spinal cord. The function of this circuit is not clear; we previously suggested based on computational modeling that it may cancel oscillations in muscle activity around 10 Hz, thereby reducing physiological tremor. Such tremor is especially problematic for dexterous hand movements, yet knowledge of recurrent inhibitory function is sparse for the control of the primate upper limb, where no direct measurements have been made to date. In this study, we made intracellular penetrations into 89 motoneurons in the cervical enlargement of four terminally anesthetized female macaque monkeys, and recorded recurrent IPSPs in response to antidromic stimulation of motor axons. Recurrent inhibition was strongest to motoneurons innervating shoulder muscles and elbow extensors, weak to wrist and digit extensors, and almost absent to the intrinsic muscles of the hand. Recurrent inhibitory connections often spanned joints, for example from motoneurons innervating wrist and digit muscles to those controlling the shoulder and elbow. Wrist and digit flexor motoneurons sometimes inhibited the corresponding extensors, and vice versa. This complex connectivity presumably reflects the flexible usage of the primate upper limb. Using trains of stimuli to motor nerves timed as a Poisson process and coherence analysis, we also examined the temporal properties of recurrent inhibition. The recurrent feedback loop effectively carried frequencies up to 100 Hz, with a coherence peak around 20 Hz. The coherence phase validated predictions from our previous computational model, supporting the idea that recurrent inhibition may function to reduce tremor.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTWe present the first direct measurements of recurrent inhibition in primate upper limb motoneurons, revealing that it is more flexibly organized than previous observations in cat. Recurrent inhibitory connections were relatively common between motoneurons controlling muscles that act at different joints, and between flexors and extensors. As in the cat, connections were minimal for motoneurons innervating the most distal intrinsic hand muscles. Empirical data are consistent with previous modeling: temporal properties of the recurrent inhibitory feedback loop are compatible with a role in reducing physiological tremor by suppressing oscillations around 10 Hz.
Semiconductor polymeric composites formation by bioinspired in situ polymerization process with non-conductive substrates
Authors:   , Kirsnytė Monika
Published: December 2020

In recent decades, polymers have been extensively studied for their specific tunable intrinsic electrical conductivity properties and various application possibilities in radar-absorbent materials, smart textiles, flexible electronics, biosensors or energy harvesting, or energy-storing materials. Therefore, there is a need to produce and investigate various semiconductive composites. This thesis presents semiconductor composites of polymer origin by bioinspired in situ polymerization process by utilizing non-conductive substrates. Firstly, a new biogenic polypyrrole (PPy) microsphere synthesis method with Streptomyces spp. bacteria were applied and analysed. We tried to mimic the polymerization, as mentioned earlier, results by a bioinspired microemulsion polymerization process in microfluidic systems. Also, we implement a novel PPy in situ polymerization process on non-conductive surfaces, including various textiles, which leads to conductive composite formation. Composites dopant incorporation into an adhesive matrix or pyrrole aqueous solution results in dependencies for electrical conductivity and shielding effectiveness parameters to evaluate PPy composites efficiency for electromagnetic wave absorbent materials.

Fourteen percent of US adults use tobacco products. Because many of those who use tobacco are parents and/or caregivers, children are disproportionately exposed to tobacco smoke. People who use tobacco products often become addicted to nicotine, resulting in tobacco dependence, a chronic, relapsing disease. Tobacco use and exposure are more likely to occur in vulnerable and marginalized groups, including those living in poverty. Although some view tobacco use as a personal choice, evidence suggests that structural forces play an important role in tobacco uptake, subsequent nicotine addiction, and perpetuation of use. Viewing tobacco use and tobacco dependence through a structural competency lens promotes recognition of the larger systemic forces perpetuating tobacco use, including deliberate targeting of groups by the tobacco industry, lack of enforcement of age-for-sale laws, inferior access to health insurance and health care, poor access to cessation resources, and economic stress. Each of these forces perpetuates tobacco initiation and use; in turn, tobacco use perpetuates the user’s adverse health and economic conditions. Pediatricians are urged to view family tobacco use as a social determinant of health. In addition to screening adolescents for tobacco use and providing resources and treatment of tobacco dependence, pediatricians are encouraged to systematically screen children for secondhand smoke exposure and support family members who smoke with tobacco cessation. Additionally, pediatricians can address the structural issues perpetuating tobacco use by becoming involved in policy and advocacy initiatives.

Published: December 2020

BACKGROUND:

Although sensor-based monitoring of daily inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs) and short-acting β-agonist medications may improve asthma outcomes, the effectiveness of these interventions in diverse pediatric populations remains unclear.

METHODS:

Caregiver and child dyads were randomly assigned to receive inhaler sensors that allowed for caregiver and clinician electronic monitoring of medications. End points included Asthma Control Test scores (>19 indicated asthma control) and asthma health care use. Caregiver quality of life (QoL) and child ICS adherence were also assessed. Multilevel models were used to estimate adjusted changes from baseline.

RESULTS:

Dyads were assigned to the control (n = 127) or intervention (n = 125) arms. At the end line, the mean Asthma Control Test score increased from 19.1 (SE = 0.3) to 21.8 (SE = 0.4) among the intervention and from 19.4 (SE = 0.3) to 19.9 (SE = 0.4) among the control (Δintervention-control = 2.2; SE = 0.6; P < .01). Adjusted rates of emergency department visits and hospitalizations among the intervention were significantly greater (incidence rate ratioemergency department = 2.2; SE = 0.5; P < .01; incidence rate ratiohospital = 3.4; SE = 1.4; P < .01) at endline than the control. Caregiver QoL was greater among the intervention at the endline (Δintervention-control = 0.3; SE = 0.2; P = .1) than the control.

CONCLUSIONS:

Findings suggest that sensor-based inhaler monitoring with clinical feedback may improve asthma control and caregiver QoL within diverse populations. Higher health care use was observed among the intervention participants relative to the control, indicating further refinement is warranted.

Da relevância do materialismo histórico dialético para uma análise feminista
Authors: De Cássia Godoi Moraes Lívia
Published: December 2020

Este artigo tem por objetivo dar uma contribuição ao debate teórico-metodológico do feminismo, tomado por uma perspectiva política e científica. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa e bibliográfica, cuja base teórica se encontra em livros e artigos científicos, clássicos e contemporâneos. A argumentação se desenvolve no sentido de uma crítica a apropriações do método de Karl Marx que desviam seus fundamentos e recaem, por um lado, no economicismo, e, por outro lado, no politicismo. Feitas as críticas, avançamos para a relevância do uso do materialismo histórico dialético para uma leitura da realidade concreta que, da ótica feminista, avance no sentido de uma luta unificada contra o capitalismo e pela derrocada do patriarcado e do racismo.
A moralidade da corrupção nas organizações
Authors: Torsello Davide
Published: December 2020

Quando a corrupção é contextualizada no dia a dia das organizações, o foco ético pode estar no uso da moralidade para transmitir ideias sobre o que é aceitável ou não. A abordagem típica pode ser a de comunicar valores da liderança (o que de fato acontece mais raramente). Uma segunda abordagem pode ser lidar com padrões morais nos padrões diários de socialização dentro efora da organização. Por fim, o enfoque final diz respeito à problematização das reivindicações morais em contextos sociais em que a corrupção é uma questão cotidiana. Aqui, em vez de delegar a cultura como explicação para a resiliência da corrupção, pode ser proveitoso reunir mais evidências empíricas sobre comoos padrões morais são contaminados pelos contextos sociais.

Published: December 2020

Despite the long-standing cultural importance and botanical interest in  Vanilla, many taxa belonging to the genus remain poorly understood. Vanilla species generally have broad geographical and ecological distributions. Most species are found in multiple countries, while local endemics are rare. Many names proposed in the eighteen and nineteenth centuries remain cryptic and unused despite having priority over more recently proposed names. Relatively few Vanilla species have been well-documented, both locally and across their entire distribution range, while a significant portion of novelties have been proposed on the basis of very few specimens that are compared only with local floras. After a careful inspection of the type materials, living plants, botanical illustrations, photographs and hundreds of additional herbarium specimens of Vanilla we tentatively recognize 62 species for the Neotropics. The taxonomy of Vanilla columbiana, V. hartii, V. inodora, V. karenchristianae, V. marowynensis, V. mexicana, V. odorata, V. phaeantha, V. planifolia, and V. pompona is revised. An updated typification, description, photographs, illustrations, list of studied specimens, distribution map, extent of occurrence and discussion is provided for each of the ten species. Taxonomic proposals include 28 new synonyms, 14 lectotypifications, and one neotypification. We stress on the importance of alpha-taxonomy for biological studies, emphasizing on the detrimental effects of taxonomic inflation and incorrect species determination on the inference of speciation rates, the understanding of biogeographical patterns, the correct estimation of ecological niches, seed dispersal studies, phylogenetic and genomic studies, and the assessments of conservation priorities, among others. Finally, the recently proposed genus Miguelia is placed under the synonymy of Vanilla.

Key Words: Conservation, distribution, Miguelia, typification, Vanilla columbiana, V. hartii, V. inodora, V. karen-christianae, V. marowynensis, V. mexicana, V. odorata, V. phaeantha, V. planifolia, V. pompona
Root system variation of pulse crops at early vegetative stage
Authors: CERITOGLU Mustafa , CERITOGLU Figen , ERMAN Murat , BEKTAS Harun
Published: December 2020

Grain legumes known as “Pulse crops” are economically and nutritionally one of the most important crop families after cereals. Climate change and abiotic stress factors are limiting yield potential in these crops. Root system architecture, a neglected field, is promising for improved environmental adaptability and higher growth potential. Genotypes with deep and dense root system may cope better with water and nutrient limitations. This study aimed to evaluate 12 common cultivars from six different legume species. Root system architectures were evaluated under controlled conditions in a plexiglass system at the early vegetative stage. Roots were divided into four depth zones (0, 5, 10, 15> cm), and inter and intra species diversity were analysed. Significant diversity was obtained within and between the species. Bean, chickpea, and broad bean constituted deeper and dense root systems while lentil, soybean, and pea formed non-dense and shallower root systems. There was a significant correlation between earliness and early vegetative root vigour. The results of the study may provide a better understanding of the root system architectures of each species-genera. The results presented here may shed light on the selection of root traits in legume breeding programs.

Photosynthetic activity is a fundamental process in the physiology of plants, and its regulation plays an important role in determining the effect of abiotic factors. Quinoa is a plant species of agronomic and nutritional interest that has been recognized for its adaptability to extreme environmental conditions, however, climate change may result in unfavorable conditions capable of affecting the natural development of this species, which is of great interest culture and research in South America. To evaluate the response of quinoa to stress, techniques could be used that quantify the loss of light energy through its dissipation in the form of heat. However, the measurement of chlorophyll fluorescence is the most widely used and accessible technique for field research, which allows to recognize the relationships between the plant and agroclimatic factors. This review summarizes the physiological effects of heat, radiation, salinity, and nutrient and water availability, as well as their possible interactions on quinoa.
Plantation forestry in Malaysia: an evaluation of its successes and failures since the 1970

Published: December 2020

With reducing supply of logs from the sustainably managed natural forest to meet the processing demand of the large wood products industry in Malaysia, plantation forestry has been gaining importance since the early 1970s. Despite the government’s efforts through the provision of financial support and incentives, investments in plantation forestry has been slow. The promising start of the large-scale forest plantation programs in the early 1970s, followed by the 1980s and then the latest program in early 2000, appear to have been a mixed bag of failures and limited success. The rather below-par performance of the forest plantations has been attributed to several factors, such as insufficient good planting stock, poor species-site matching, poor soil quality, pest and diseases and the overall poor silvicultural and management regime laid out for forest plantations. Further, plantation forestry appears to be dominated by larger companies, while small and medium companies, have limited financial resources to overcome the prevailing challenges faced. Despite the poor performance until to date, the adoption of intensive research based silvicultural and management regime for the plantation forests, which are maturing in the next years, will hopefully produce better results and serve as the sunrise for plantation forestry in Malaysia.

Published: December 2020

Significance Statement

Percutaneous coronary intervention is linked with greater risk of AKI incidence; however, differences in this link by race remain less clear. This study quantified the association of race (White, Black, or other) with odds for AKI incidence within 7 days after percutaneous coronary intervention. After adjustment for demographics, comorbidities, medications, and procedural characteristics, the study found that, compared with Whites, odds for AKI incidence were substantially greater among Black but not other patients. Racial difference in odds for AKI incidence after percutaneous coronary intervention did not differ by baseline kidney function. These findings highlight the need to investigate factors that predispose Black individuals to greater risk for AKI after percutaneous coronary intervention.

Background

Undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a risk factor for AKI development, but few studies have quantified racial differences in AKI incidence after this procedure.

Methods

We examined the association of self-reported race (Black, White, or other) and baseline eGFR with AKI incidence among patients who underwent PCI at Duke University Medical Center between January 1, 2003, and December 31, 2013. We defined AKI as a 0.3 mg/dl absolute increase in serum creatinine within 48 hours, or ≥1.5-fold relative elevation within 7 days post-PCI from the reference value ascertained within 30 days before PCI.

Results

Of 9422 patients in the analytic cohort (median age 63 years; 33% female; 75% White, 20% Black, 5% other race), 9% developed AKI overall (14% of Black, 8% of White, 10% of others). After adjustment for demographics, socioeconomic status, comorbidities, predisposing medications, PCI indication, periprocedural AKI prophylaxis, and PCI procedural characteristics, Black race was associated with increased odds for incident AKI compared with White race (odds ratio [OR], 1.79; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.48 to 2.15). Compared with Whites, odds for incident AKI were not significantly higher in other patients (OR, 1.30; 95% CI, 0.93 to 1.83). Low baseline eGFR was associated with graded, higher odds of AKI incidence (P value for trend <0.001); however, there was no interaction between race and baseline eGFR on odds for incident AKI (P value for interaction = 0.75).

Conclusions

Black patients had greater odds of developing AKI after PCI compared with White patients. Future investigations should identify factors, including multiple domains of social determinants, that predispose Black individuals to disparate AKI risk after PCI.
Migrants, refugees and othering: constructing europeanness. An exploration of Portuguese and German media
Authors: Himmel Rita , Baptista Maria Manuel
Published: December 2020

The process of establishing the supranational European Union has been accompanied by a construction of the idea of Europeanness (Geary, 2013; Pieterse, 1991/1993), of belonging to a common us, creating an idea of what we are, as Europeans, and necessarily othering those who do not belong (Butler & Spivak, 2007; El-Tayeb, 2011). The so-called “refugee/migration crisis” is a particularly interesting context in which to explore discourses not only about this us/them divide regarding what are presented as non-Europeans, but also who we Europeans are constructed as being. The media play an important role in the reproduction of representations about others, with whom the audience does not have direct contact. In this article, we explore discourses, in the Portuguese and German media, from 2011 to 2017, about the so-called “refugee/migration crisis”. Through a qualitative content analysis, we have sought to understand how the idea of Europeanness is constructed, in relation to this phenomenon. This exploratory analysis allowed us to identify that there is not only a construction of the idea of Europe in which migrants or refugees are the other, but also of an idea of Europe that is intrinsically incompatible with the rejection of this other, incompatible with far-right or xenophobic ideas and movements. Being European, thus, is being not a Muslim, not a refugee, and not xenophobic.

Published: December 2020

Abstract - The use of cutting-edge technology is appropriate for business development based on an established entrepreneurial spirit that will optimize the process as well as the results of the developed business unit. This is what is called technopreneurship: a collaboration between the application of technology as an instrument and an independent business spirit as a necessity. In an era of intense global competition, business innovation must be accompanied by various kinds of technological engineering in order to multiply the performance of the business. Technopreneurship is an integral character between competency in applying technology and the spirit of building a business. From here, a technological business unit grows: a business unit that utilizes applied technology in the process of innovation, production, marketization, etc. Communication and information technology or telematics technology (information and communication technology (ICT) has been recognized by the world as one of the means and the main infrastructure to tackle the world's problems.The Community Service Program with the title Technopreneur Training in Building an Entrepreneurial Spirit for Prospective Architects in the Field of Consulting Services and Construction Services at the University of Education of Indonesia is implemented to provide entrepreneurial skills for students to have entrepreneurial mentality and skills (entrepreneurship) and form a Campus business incubator unit. This program selects and guides 21 students to become independent micro entrepreneurs. The method used in this program is practical learning based on business projects by training and assessing the ability of students to start and run a business based on 4 assessment criteria which include: personality, cooperation, leadership and online marketing skills to increase competitiveness and overcome constraints of limited production funding. The implementation of this KDP includes 4 stages consisting of recruitment, approach, implementation, and monitoring evaluation of 20 prospective tenants for 8 months. From these activities, it is expected that 10 tenants will become independent entrepreneurs and 5 people are still not successful.

Published: December 2020

Introdução: Déficits dos sistemas visual, vestibular e somatossensonrial de idosos afetam o controle postural, elevando o risco de queda. Objetivos: Avaliar a diferença do equilíbrio entre idosas caidoras e não, praticantes do método Pilates Mat nas diferentes situações de entradas sensoriais, verificar a correlação . Método: Estudo transversal quantitativo e analítico realizado na cidade de Petrolina-PE, entre os anos de 2017 e 2018, com 94 mulheres (67,90 ± 5,19 anos), divididas em caidoras (n=29) e sem histórico de quedas (n=65), cálculo definido “a posteriori”. Dados sociodemográficos, medicamentos e frequência de quedas foram coletados por meio de um questionário. O equilíbrio foi avaliado utilizando teste clinical test of sensory interaction and balance (CTSIB) e o teste de equilíbrio corporal (TEC). Resultados: A taxa de queda observada foi de 29% e o tempo médio de prática do Pilates de 27 meses. A análise de regressão logística indicou resultados negativos, revelando como fator protetor de quedas o bom desempenho no teste EDRI,  CTSIB 1 e CTSIB 5, com diminuição da chance de queda de 64, 78 e 75%, respectivamente. Associação positiva com queda foi mostrada pelo CTSIB 2 (OR=0,286; 95% CI [-0,119 – 0,063]), indicando aumento da chance de cair em até 71%. Conclusão: Embora, o grupo de mulheres idosas fossem praticante regular de exercícios físicos, verificou-se que o risco de cair independe do histórico de quedas anteriores e o déficit da regulação sensorial do equilíbrio estático e dinâmico é comum ao avanço da idade.

Published: December 2020

Introdução: As lesões traumáticas são atualmente a terceira causa de mortalidade no mundo, gerando impacto na morbimortalidade, principalmente na população economicamente ativa. Objetivo: Avaliar os fatores de risco para óbito no trauma em um hospital escola de nível terciário. Métodos: Realizou-se estudo caso-controle retrospectivo, por meio da análise de prontuários eletrônicos e fichas de avaliação inicial de pacientes atendidos em um hospital escola de nível terciário da cidade de São José do Rio Preto, São Paulo, Brasil, em 2015. Os 21 pacientes que morreram, compuseram os casos, enquanto 613, que sobreviveram ao evento traumático, o grupo controle. Esses grupos foram comparados, considerando variáveis gerais, dados sobre o evento traumático, atendimento pré-hospitalar, avaliação hospitalar inicial e desfecho da internação. Resultados: Os fatores de risco para mortalidade, por evento traumático identificados pelo estudo, foram: idade superior a 30 anos, traumas por agressão física, tempo de internação do paciente superior a 72 horas, perda de consciência no momento do evento traumático, presença no atendimento inicial do traumatizado de hipotensão arterial (pressão sistólica abaixo de 108,7 mmHg), escore da escala de coma de Glasgow inferior ou igual a 9 e revised trauma score (RTS) inferior a 5,7. Conclusão: Os fatores de risco que determinam maior probabilidade de óbito, após um traumatismo são causados por agressão física ao paciente com idade superior a 30 anos, com perda de consciência após o evento, hipotensão arterial, escore da Escala de Coma de Glasgow e RTS baixos no atendimento inicial, além de tempo de internação prolongado. Dessa forma, apesar de protocolos cada vez mais consolidados de atendimento ao politraumatizado, ainda há limitações em propiciar uma melhor sobrevida para os pacientes com pior prognóstico
Hiperparatireoidismo primário: relato de caso sobre uma apresentação rara de pancreatite aguda
Authors: Dias Caique Costa , Kuroda Camila Martins , Dib Jorge Adas , Sabbag Anwar Fausto Felix
Published: December 2020

Introdução: A pancreatite aguda (PA) é uma condição inflamatória comum nos centros médicos com uma incidência anual mundial de 4,9 - 73,4 casos por 100.000 habitantes e tem como principais causas o cálculo biliar (40-70%) e o etilismo (25-35%) seguidas de outras condições incomuns, entre elas a hipertrigliceridemia e a hipercalcemia. A PA devido a hipercalcemia, embora rara, pode representar dificuldade diagnóstica e, em muitos casos, ser diagnosticada tardiamente. Objetivo: Relatar um caso raro de pancreatite aguda causada por hipercalcemia. Relato de Caso: Paciente internado quatro vezes em três anos com queixa de dor abdominal. No momento inicial foi feito o diagnóstico de pancreatite alcoólica reforçado pelo histórico pessoal de etilismo crônico. Na última internação do paciente foram investigados os níveis séricos de cálcio total e paratormônio (PTH), com valores respectivos de 12,2 mmol/L e 178,8 pg/mL, sugerindo possível hiperparatireoidismo primário (HPP). Confirmou-se a hipótese com a cintilografia de paratireoide e o paciente foi submetido à paratireoidectomia esquerda e tireoidectomia parcial homolateral, apresentando melhora dos níveis séricos de PTH no pós-operatório, assim como do seu quadro de PA. Conclusão: A dosagem de cálcio sérico em pacientes com quadro de PA pode ser benéfica para o diagnóstico, instituiçãoprecoce de tratamento e controle de recidivas em pacientes com HPP.
The effect of oil prices on the economic diversification process: evidence from the GCC countries
Authors: Sweidan Osama D.
Published: December 2020

We investigate the Granger non-causality relationship between oil prices and the economic diversification process in the GCC countries during the period 1989-2017. This paper uses Pedroni's (2004) panel cointegration tests and the panel non-causality test of Dumitrescu-Hurlin (2012) to achieve its goals. We find that oil price changes Granger cause the movements in the diversification progression. It indicates that economic diversification of the GCC countries is not a priority to the GCC governments because their role is changing. As a result, the GCC countries should give priority to the economic diversification if it is a strategic plan for their economies.
devaneios filosóficos de Hilda Hilst
Authors: Cantuário Victor André Pinheiro
Published: December 2020

O objetivo deste artigo é demonstrar a presença de elementos filosóficos nos poemas de Hilda Hilst, principalmente naqueles publicados nos livros da década de 1950. Nos poemas contidos nessas obras, a escritora paulista tratou de questões estritamente filosóficas e que identificariam sua produção literária, como o amor, o sagrado, a busca pelo princípio gerador dos primeiros filósofos gregos, o ideal platônico, a morte, o drama da existência, os limites e usos da linguagem, entre outros. Como representativo do que se pretende comprovar, selecionou-se o poema XVI de Balada de Alzira (1951) para análise e discussão, de modo a se tornar evidente a relação entre ambos os campos, literário e filosófico, e se comprovar que nas obras de juventude, Hilda Hilst, caminhando para a maturidade de sua escrita e estilo poéticos, propôs exercícios de pensamento e reflexões profundamente filosóficos.
Mímesis e vulnerabilidade – fissuras abertas pela teorização recente de Luiz Costa Lima
Authors: Pinto Aline Magalhães
Published: December 2020

Esse texto busca expor e analisar o papel que a articulação teórica entre a disposição antropológica constitutiva a que tentamos alcançar com as denominações de carência, lacuna, fragilidade, vulnerabilidade – e a mímesis como decisivo para a compreensão da teorização recente de Luiz Costa Lima e do caminho que ela oferece para os Estudos Literários. Como é usual na obra do autor, o exercício de teorização aparece como uma interlocução. Nesse caso, os autores convocados são A. Gehlen e H. Blumenberg.
Convergencias de la “Spoon River Anthology” y “Pedro Páramo”
Authors: Mármol Ávila Pedro
Published: December 2020

Este artículo propone una aproximación a una serie de elementos convergentes de la Spoon River Anthology (1915), de Edgar Lee Masters, y Pedro Páramo (1955), de Juan Rulfo. Esta se basa en cuatro cuestiones: los principios estructurales, las voces, los personajes y el tratamiento de la muerte. Desde este abordaje de orientación comparatista, una obra ayuda en la comprensión de la otra y se observan similitudes y diferencias que resultan caracterizadoras de cada una. Más que sugerir una dependencia genética de Pedro Páramo respecto a la Spoon River Anthology, se consideran concomitancias, coincidencias, las cuales son particularmente intensas pese a los exactos cuarenta años que distan entre la publicación de ambas.

Published: December 2020

Supply chains consist of several actors from supplier, manufacturer, distributer, wholesaler and retailers connected to each other by financial, material and informational flows. Optimal performance of supply chains requires set of actions that coordinate the members’ decisions [1], [2]. In many cases, members are trying to optimize their own objectives which can lead to asymmetric information by keeping some strategic information private. Although, this information asymmetry is a challenge affecting the coordination of supply chain, but it is achievable if proper set of coordinating mechanism executed. This paper presents a comprehensive literature review of supply chain coordination under asymmetric information and tries to analyze the trend in the context and address the evolution and gaps in existing literature.
Consensus Control of Multi-agent Robot System with State Delay Based on Fractional-Order Iterative Learning Control Algorithm
Authors: Gao Yanghua , Lou Weidong , Lu Hailiang , Jia Yonghua
Published: December 2020

This paper mainly explores the consensus control of multi-agent robot system with repetitive motion under the constraints of a leader and fixed topology. To realize the consensus control, a fractional order iterative learning control (FOILC) algorithm was designed under the mode of distributed open-closed-loop proportional-derivative alpha (PDα). The uniform convergence of the algorithm in finite time was discussed, drawing on factional calculus, graph theory, and norm theory, resulting in the convergence conditions. Theoretical analysis shows that, with the growing number of iterations, each agent can choose the appropriate gain matrix, and complete the tracking task in finite time. The effectiveness of the proposed method was verified through simulation.

Authors: Li Kang , Li Dan , Wu Daqing
Published: December 2020

With the improvement of enterprise services, location-routing-inventory problem with time window constraint (LRIPTW) has become an essential problem in cold chain logistics network (CCLN). This paper aims to optimize the location cost, inventory cost, transportation cost, and penalty cost in CCLN simultaneously. Firstly, an optimization model was established for the LRIP with soft time window constraint (STW). Then, the multi-objective ant colony optimization (MACO) was improved to solve the model. Simulation results show that the improved MACO can solve the LRIPSTW effectively and efficiently. The research findings provide a reference for enterprises to reduce total cost and improve service quality.
Multi-objective Optimization of Digital Management for Renewable Energies in Smart Cities
Authors: Huang Xiang , Huang Pengxiang , Huang Tianxiang
Published: December 2020

Smart cities mark the shift from the traditional model of urban construction to the planned construction of a composite system between smartness and energy. Considering the defects of renewable energies, e.g., intermittency, randomness, and low dispatchability, it is imperative to explore the digital and unified management of urban renewable energies. Therefore, this paper presents a multi-objective optimization algorithm for digital management, which can quantify the multiple energy models of smart cities. Firstly, the dimensions of renewable energy construction in smart cities were detailed, and the functions, hierarchy, and data flows of the digital management system for renewable energies were plotted in turn. After that, the output probability models of typical renewable energy power generation systems were established, plus the objective functions of digital management for renewable energies. Finally, particle swarm optimization (PSO) was combined with genetic algorithm (GA) for multi-objective optimization of the digital management for renewable energies in smart cities. The proposed models and algorithm were proved effective through experiments.
Construir una nueva hegemonía institucional en el campo de la salud
Authors: Spinelli Hugo
Published: December 2020

Este texto propone la construcción de una nueva hegemonía institucional de configuración rizomática basada en los centros de salud y en relación directa con una red hospitalaria de complejidad creciente al servicio de estos centros de salud y no a la inversa. Propone equipos de trabajadores para esos centros con anclaje territorial, que desarrollen prácticas humanizadas centradas en el paso de la atención al cuidado en cada territorio, respetando las singularidades e idiosincrasia de los habitantes y sus culturas. En primer lugar, se realiza una breve síntesis histórica del devenir de los centros de salud y de los hospitales. En segundo lugar, se realizan propuestas técnicas para reformular los modelos de atención y organización en las instituciones del campo de la salud y propuestas tecno-políticas para la nueva hegemonía institucional, que se desarrolla en tres dimensiones: organización, políticas y procesos de atención y cuidado. Por último, se identifican obstáculos en la construcción de esta nueva hegemonía.

Authors: Tricano Valéria , Salles Denise Lopes , Salles Sergio De Souza
Published: December 2020

A Lei Federal n° 13.431/2017, ao instituir o depoimento especial de crianças e adolescentes vítimas e testemunhas de violência, vem  coroar um conjunto de práticas legislativas, jurídicas e políticas no Brasil no sentido da valorização da palavra da criança, seu direito de se expressar e ser ouvida, e do reconhecimento da sua condição de titular de direitos, mudança de extrema relevância no paradigma anterior de tratamento da infância advinda da consolidação no plano internacional dos Direitos Humanos e, mais especificamente, dos princípios defendidos na Convenção sobre os Direitos da Criança. O reconhecimento da criança e do adolescente como sujeito de direitos fundamentais e humanos está na base dos modelos de depoimento especial atualmente vigentes, os quais conservam em seus elementos comuns uma metodologia adequada à proteção jurídica da criança e adolescente visando a redução da revitimização e maximização da fidedignidade do testemunho prestado.
Inversión extranjera directa y crecimiento económico en Colombia
Authors: Cerquera-Losada Óscar Hernán , Rojas-Velásquez Libardo
Published: December 2020

Este artículo busca analizar empíricamente la relación entre la inversión extranjera directa (IED) y el crecimiento económico para el caso colombiano, empleando datos de series de tiempo observados durante el periodo 2000-2019. Para esto se realiza un análisis de cointegración y se estima un modelo vectorial de corrección de errores VEC, en el cual se incluye la formación bruta de capital como variable adicional de control. Asimismo, se realizan pruebas de causalidad entre las variables y se estiman funciones de impulso-respuesta con el fin de determinar cómo responde una variable ante cambios en otras variables. Los resultados muestran que la inversión extranjera y el crecimiento económico guardan una relación de equilibrio de largo plazo. Se identificó que el crecimiento económico es muy importante para atraer mayores flujos de inversión. Sin embargo, la inversión extranjera tiene un efecto moderado sobre el crecimiento económico. Además, existe una relación de causalidad unidireccional que va del crecimiento económico a la inversión extranjera, es decir, el aumento de los flujos de inversión foránea no se traduce necesariamente en mayor crecimiento económico. Estos resultados, de una u otra forma, contradicen la opinión ampliamente aceptada de que un aumento de la IED puede ser importante para mejorar el crecimiento económico, lo que refuerza la idea de que el éxito de la IED en los países depende de las condiciones iniciales de cada economía.
