Analiza internetskog diskursa u objavama članova Vlade na Facebooku
Authors: Šegvić Branka , Polić Iva
Published: May 2024

Ispreplićući obilježja govorenog i pisanog jezika, društvene mreže važan su komunikacijski kanal kojim se političari u današnje vrijeme sve više služe za komunikaciju s javnošću. Društvene mreže im omogućavaju neposredni kontakt s publikom, bez intervencije i uplitanja medija. Koristeći se društvenim mrežama poput Facebooka, Instagrama i Twittera, političari sami odlučuju o informacijama i vijestima koje dijele s publikom te posljedično o izgradnji vlastitog imidža u javnosti i načinu zadobivanja naklonosti glasača. U ovom su radu analizirane Facebook objave članova Vlade, odnosno elementi internetskog diskursa poput emojija, hashtagova, označenih institucija, osoba i lokacija koje članovi Vlade upotrebljavaju u svojim objavama. Utvrđeno je kako najzastupljeniji format objave uključuje tekst i fotografiju. Među analiziranim elementima internetskog diskursa najzastupljeniji su emojiji, slijede ih hashtagovi, označene institucije i označene osobe, dok je oznaka lokacije bilo najmanje. Svi se analizirani elementi češće mogu pronaći u objavama ženskih pripadnica Vlade. Najzastupljeniji je emoji ‘zastave’, što je očekivano s obzirom na korpus, dok upotreba hashtagova varira ovisno o resoru. O resoru varira i označena lokacija, dok je najčešće označena osoba Andrej Plenković, a najčešće označena institucija Vlada Republike Hrvatske. Radom je pokazano kako su samo neverbalni elementi internetskog diskursa dovoljan te posljedično veoma važan dio stvaranja javne slike i identiteta političara. Ovakvi elementi čine objave dinamičnijima i privlačnijima te utječu na način na koji političari persuazivno djeluju na svoju publiku.

Authors: Guangasi Gómez Edisson Marcelo , Valencia Nuñez Edison Roberto , Montoya Puglla Santiago David , Suárez Ibujés Mario Orlando
Published: May 2024

El propósito de esta investigación radicó en establecer la relación entre el endeudamiento y la rentabilidad financiera dentro del sector automotriz de Tungurahua durante el lapso comprendido entre 2015 y 2020. Para llevar a cabo este análisis, se recurrió a fuentes secundarias provenientes de la base de datos de la Superintendencia de Compañías, Valores y Seguros. La metodología empleada se basó en dos enfoques: la correlación Z de Altman y la correlación de Pearson, las cuales fueron utilizadas para evaluar la asociación entre ambas variables. Uno de los hallazgos más relevantes de este estudio fue la marcada reducción del nivel de endeudamiento a lo largo del período investigado. Paralelamente, se observó una disminución en la rentabilidad financiera, fenómeno atribuido principalmente a los desafíos externos que afectaron al país durante dicho período. Además de analizar las tendencias generales, el estudio examinó los indicadores promedio de rentabilidad y endeudamiento. Como resultado, se identificó una correlación positiva en los años 2016 y 2020. Este hallazgo sugiere que las empresas del sector lograron mantener su desempeño financiero gracias a la financiación obtenida tanto de proveedores como de instituciones financieras.
Planificación tributaria y su incidencia financiera en personas naturales: Aplicación 2021 y 2022
Authors: Posligua San Martín Marco Antonio
Published: May 2024

El objetivo de esta investigación es explorar cómo la planificación tributaria, dentro de los términos legales vigentes, puede aumentar eficientemente la liquidez o rentabilidad de las personas naturales. Las dificultades económicas que surgen al momento de pagar impuestos pueden impedir que las personas naturales solucionen sus obligaciones fiscales o limitar su capacidad para hacerlo. No obstante, dentro de los parámetros legales establecidos por la Administración Tributaria, se ofrecen alternativas que permiten a las personas naturales mitigar la carga tributaria. Con la ayuda de una adecuada planificación tributaria y financiera, es posible cumplir con el fisco sin afectar la rentabilidad y/o liquidez deseada. Esta investigación incluye una revisión de la literatura y un análisis de los parámetros legales aplicables al Impuesto al Valor Agregado (IVA) y al Impuesto a la Renta, demostrando mediante cálculos específicos la incidencia financiera de cada uno de ellos, tanto individualmente como en conjunto. Se evidencia la aplicación tributaria en personas naturales, quienes en su mayoría en Ecuador desconocen estos aspectos, basados en cálculos financieros y dentro de lineamientos legales. Estos reflejan alternativas adecuadas de aplicación, con escenarios claramente definidos que muestran las connotaciones e incidencias económicas. La conclusión principal del estudio es que una planificación tributaria adecuada permite a las personas naturales no obligadas a llevar contabilidad reducir significativamente su carga impositiva, mejorando así su liquidez y rentabilidad. Esto subraya la importancia de conocer y aplicar correctamente las leyes y beneficios fiscales para gestionar eficientemente los impuestos.

JÉSSICA CAITANO E CORDEL NO PAJEÚ: MULHERES RURAIS E “OUTRA” COLHEITA DO TRABALHO
Authors: Cavalcanti Ariane
Published: May 2024

The corpus of this article is the cordel by Jéssica Caitano, a contemporary and multifaceted artist from the Sertão do Pajeú, entitled "E a vida do sertanejo combina com poesia" (And the life of the sertanejo goes with poetry). The proposal is to point out a possible interpretative path for the various meanings carved out by the author throughout her singing in the composition published by the "Caretas Cartonera" label, originating in Triunfo, Pernambuco-Brazil, the city where Caitano was born. The selected cordel is discussed in interface with the sociological debate on the issue of work and the use of rural women's daily time, in dialogue with Moraes (MORAES Et. Al., 2020). With this design, this work seeks to present the artist's poetic project as linked to the valorization of regional popular tradition and its main singing rites, as well as connected to mottos that are very attentive to the contemporary issues that surround the representations of rural women and their living conditions, often linked to unpaid and subordinate domestic work in the geographical context of the Sertão do Pajeú.
ANCESTRALIDADES
Authors: Lemaire-Mertes Ria
Published: May 2024

The current questioning of the practices, methods and episteme of human sciences in the Western world constitutes the background of this proposal for a radical revision of the conventional academic historiography of the northeastern booklet de cordel, as it was elaborated in the second half of the 20th century. The scripto and Eurocentric assumptions and dogmas of these cordel studies led to a distortion of their reality and history that made it possible to make invisible the fact that the cordel booklet was the product of the transition of the ars poetica of the ancestral world of orality to that of press technology and its capitalist western world. A new historiography of the cordel booklet is proposed, based on concepts – and their underlying assumptions – that animate nowadays the debates about the profound civilizational crisis that is shaking, at the threshold of the new millennium, the Western world and the basic epistemologies of its human sciences.

Diagnostic performance of classification criteria for systemic lupus erythematosus: A validation study from Singapore
Authors: Teh Kai Liang , Das Lena , Huang Junjie , Book Yun Xin , Hoh Sook Fun , Gao Xiaocong , Arkachaisri Thaschawee
Published: May 2024

Introduction: Classification criteria for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) include American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 1997, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC) 2012 and European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR)/ACR 2019 criteria. Their performance in an Asian childhood-onset SLE (cSLE) population remains unclear as the clinical manifestations differ. We aim to evaluate the diagnostic performance in a cSLE cohort in Singapore.

Method: Cases were physician-diagnosed cSLE, while controls were children with mixed and undifferentiated connective tissue disease that posed an initial diagnostic challenge. Data were retrospectively reviewed to establish the 3 criteria fulfilled at diagnosis and over time.

Results: The study population included 120 cSLE cases and 36 controls. At diagnosis, 102 (85%) patients fulfilled all criteria. SLICC-2012 had the highest sensitivity (97.5%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 92.3–99.5), while ACR-1997 had the highest specificity (91.7%, 95% CI 77.5–98.3). All criteria had diagnostic accuracies at more than 85%. Over time, 113 (94%) fulfilled all criteria. SLICC-2012 remained the criteria with the highest sensitivity (99.2%, 95% CI 95.4–99.9), while ACR-1997 had the highest specificity (75.0%, 95% CI 57.8–87.9). Only SLICC-2012 and ACR-1997 had more than 85% diagnostic accuracy over time. Using a cutoff score of ≥13 for EULAR/ACR-2019 criteria resulted in improved diagnostic performance.

Conclusion: SLICC-2012 criteria had the highest sensitivity early in the disease course in this first study evaluating the SLE classification criteria performance in a Southeast Asian cSLE cohort, while the ACR-1997 criteria had the highest specificity. Using a cutoff score of ≥13 for EULAR/ACR-2019 improved the diagnostic performance.
Group B Streptococcus screening with antenatal culture and intrapartum polymerase chain reaction: A prospective cohort study
Authors: Goh Marlene Samantha Sze Minn , Tan Hong Ying , Ng Yan Shun , Tan Ilka , Yeo Kee Thai , Ku Chee Wai , Mathur Manisha
Published: May 2024

Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a common genital and gastrointestinal tract commensal in healthy women. Vertical transmission of GBS may cause neonatal early-onset GBS disease (EoGBS), and this is prevented by intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis (IAP) GBS colonisation,1 coupled with long turnaround time of GBS culture, challenges the accuracy of conventional antenatal GBS screening in predicting carriage during labour, especially for those without prior antenatal GBS screening. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) offers a rapid and accurate alternative, demonstrating 98.5% sensitivity and 99.6% specificity, surpassing the 58.3% positive predictive value of antenatal culture screening in a retrospective study,2 resulting in the reduction of EoGBS from 1.01 to 0.21 per 1000 live-births. This study aimed to compare the sensitivity and specificity of intrapartum GBS PCR to antenatal GBS swab culture, using intrapartum GBS culture as a reference for maternal colonisation status.
Urinary Incontinence in Older Persons: A Simple Approach to a Complex Problem
Authors: Tan T L
Published: May 2024

Urinary incontinence is a major geriatric syndrome with significant morbidity and even mortality. However, it is under-recognised and inadequately managed despite its impact and cost. Continence in the older person is maintained by the fine balance between the integrity of the lower urinary tract, the cognitive ability and motivation to keep dry, and adequate mobility and dexterity to void; impairment of any of the three can result in incontinence. The management of older persons with urinary incontinence involves, i) identifying and reversing transient incontinence, ii) excluding urinary retention, iii) deciding on the need of special tests (imaging, screening for malignancy, magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] for spinal cord, urodynamic assessment) to exclude sinister causes, and iv) deciding on the need to refer the specialist. With careful evaluation, continence in the older persons can be restored in most cases.
Neurofibrillary and Ethico-legal Tangles: In Search of Surrogates for Dementia Patients Lacking Decision-making Capacity and Relatives
Authors: Chin J J , Sahadevan S
Published: May 2024

Singapore’s greying population has led to an alarming increase in the prevalence of dementia, and inevitably to a rising number of dementia patients who lack competence and relatives. Although legislative provisions exist in the current Mental Disorders and Treatment Act (MDTA) for the appointment of committees of person and estate for incompetent patients, healthcare professionals continue to face challenging obstacles in their attempts to search for appropriate surrogate decision-makers for such patients. We illustrate, with 2 cases from our clinical experience, the ethical, legal and administrative tangles faced in our search for appropriate surrogate decision-makers. Specific problems, such as administrative ambiguities in applying the MDTA and the impracticalities of a rigorous judicial process in appointing surrogates, are discussed. We propose possible solutions how these obstacles can be effectively tackled, in particular adopting a radical shift from the present judiciary model to a clinical-based model of appointing surrogates for healthcare decisions. This clinical model is based on best interests considerations and emphasises peer review and a multidisciplinary consultative approach in determining the clinical merits of proposed treatment and its impact on quality of life. The ultimate aim of such a change is to facilitate timely medical care while ensuring ethical practices that respect the patient’s dignity.
A Prospective Audit of Critical Incidents in Anaesthesia in a University Teaching Hospital
Authors: Liu E H C , Koh K F
Published: May 2024

Introduction: We aimed to reduce mortality and morbidity in anaesthesia by identifying common factors contributing to critical incidences and ‘near misses’.

Materials and Methods: We carried out a prospective survey over a 2-year period from May 1999 to April 2001 of all reported critical incidents in patients undergoing anaesthesia. Critical incidents were reported anonymously, using the Anaesthetic Incident Monitoring Study form. This consisted of structured questions with tick box answers. Completed forms were reviewed and after open discussion with the department, preventive strategies and guidelines were developed and introduced.

Results: A total of 116 critical incidences were reported in 108 patients. These are events that have resulted or could have resulted in an adverse outcome for the patient. Airway incidences were the commonest incidence reported (33.6%), followed by pharmacological problems like wrong drug or dose (28.4%). These occurred most often during maintenance and recovery from anaesthesia largely due to human factors like inattention, haste and failure to check equipment. They were preventable in 76% of cases. As a consequence, 33.6% of incidents resulted in cardiac arrest or major physiological change. There was no adverse outcome in 36.2%. From a review of the critical incident reporting, organisation of manpower was improved to ensure adequate supervision of junior staff. Checking of equipment and drug before use was constantly emphasized.

Conclusion: Critical incident reporting is a useful tool for quality assurance programmes. It analyses human and systems problems to ensure improved patient care.

Taksonomik olarak likenler, Mantarlar Âlemi altında ayrı bir grup olarak ele alınırlar. Antik Çağ’dan itibaren materia medica kitaplarına da konu olmuş, tedavi edici özellikleri sebebiyle dikkat çekmişlerdir. Türkiye’de likenlerin biyolojisiyle ve tarihiyle ilgili çalışmalar artık belirli bir düzeye erişmiştir. Bu yüzden, likenlerin felsefede ve felsefece ele alınmaları epistemolojik açıdan mümkündür. Ortakyaşam organizmaları olarak bilinen likenlerin ikili doğası, bireysel ortakların bireyler halinde tekil yaşadıkları durumlarda gözlemleyemediğimiz bazı beliren (İng. emergent) özelliklere yol açar. Bu çalışmada, likenlerin bölünemez bireyler (İng. indivisible individuals) olup olmadığı sorusundan hareketle liken tallusunun nispeten dengeli bir sistem ve hatta minyatür bir ‘ekosistem’ olduğu konusu ele alınacaktır. Sonuç olarak biyolojik olgu ve olayların gerek tanımlanmalarında gerek açıklanmalarında metodolojik aygıt olarak belirmenin (Ar. zuhur, İng. emergence) dikkate alınması önerilecektir. Biyolojik bilgiden hareketle felsefe özellikle de biyofelsefe ve etik bakımından likenler model organizmalar olarak ele alınacak hem bireyler hem topluluklar ve toplumlar için bir arada yaşama ilkeleri belirlenebileceği öne sürülecektir.

Authors: Ustabulut Batuhan
Published: May 2024

İki farklı dilin yoğun bir şekilde konuşulduğu Belçika Krallığı, iki toplumlu bir devlet yapısına sahiptir. Flamanca ve Fransızca dillerinin egemen olduğu Belçika’nın anayasal tarihi bu iki dili konuşanların talepleri çerçevesinde şekillenmiştir. Üniter bir devlet olarak kurulan Belçika’da, Flamanca konuşanların Fransızcanın egemenliğinin ortadan kaldırılmasına yönelik çabalarının sonucu olarak Flamanca resmî dil olarak kabul edilmiştir. İki toplumlu yapının oluşturduğu kutuplaştırma Belçika’da anayasal sistemin değişimine yol açmıştır. Belçika, yapılan çeşitli anayasa değişiklikleri ile adım adım üniter devletten uzaklaşmış ve 1993 yılında federal devlet yapısını benimsemiştir. Bu anayasa değişiklikleri ile Belçika’da Flamanca, Fransızca ve Almanca konuşanlar farklı topluluklar şeklinde teşkilatlandırılmıştır. Ayrıca Belçika; Flaman Bölgesi, Valon Bölgesi ve Başkent Brüksel Bölgesi şeklinde üç bölgeye ayrılmıştır. Bölge ve topluluklar şeklinde teşkilatlandırılmış bir devlet yapısına sahip olan Belçika’da bir asimetrik federalizm bulunmaktadır. Farklı dil gruplarının bir arada yaşadığı Belçika, konsensüs demokrasisini tercih ederek bu dil gruplarının ulusal düzeyde temsilini ve karar alma süreçlerine katılımını sağlamaktadır. Ortaklıkçı demokrasinin güç paylaşımı ve grup özerkliği özelliklerine sahip olan Belçika’da iktidar iki farklı toplum arasında paylaştırılmıştır. Bu çalışmada iki toplumlu bir devlet olarak Belçika Krallığı üzerinde durulacak ve Belçika’daki federal sistem incelenecektir.

By implementing SDGs and ESG, investors and companies are expect to participate in the world sustainable development target. One of the SDG metric is strengthen efforts to protect and safeguard the world’s cultural and natural heritage. With the 75 samples of cement and cement-related company across the world, this thesis delves into the nuanced of relationship between cultural and natural heritage issues and its cost of equity. Recognizing the profound impact of cultural and natural heritage concerns on corporate reputation, social license to operate, as well investor’s perception, this research endeavors to elucidate the intricate interplay between these variables through research approach encompassing quantitative methodologies. The result of this research is showing that cultural and natural heritage issue is negatively correlate to the cost of equity which means the better the cultural and natural heritage score of a company, the lower its cost of equity among its peers. The regression analysis result in P-Value 0.016; coefficient -6.12 for cultural and natural heritage index impact to cost of equity (in market model) and in P-Value 0.033; coefficient -5.30 for cultural and natural heritage index impact to cost of equity (in Bloomberg CAPM), which considered significant. Implication of these finding are that cultural and natural heritage issue can be a threat for the company image as well can influence various aspects of company activities, if it is not well managed. Therefore, companies should start concern on any cultural and natural heritage since it has significant implication for investor’s decision and perception which can be depicted in its each cost of equity.

India has been a developing country; in the process of development India has seen massive revolution in information technology. As information technology industry is growing in a fast phase that has enabled the people to use smartphones and computers extensively which has resulted in excessive consumption of data. Smart phones are not just phones now they have become an integral part of our life, as a result of which the data consumption has also seen an immense growth. In this article we will be discussing on how smart phones have replaced many elements and also how extensively data is being consumed in the name of entertainment, though India is in developing stage which has a lot of disparities in rural and urban region, but in urban and semi urban and also in rural some portion of society, terrain there is a community which is using the data enormously. Data consumption has grown a massive growth specially in the period of covid. The covid lock down has also contributed to the OTT platforms like amazon prime, Netflix, voot, zee5 etc are demanded by the middle income and high income group people. We will be comparing the average amount spent on data purchase and average amount of data consumed per head. In this article we have attempted to understand at what rate data is being consumed, what is the average amount of money spend on data per head.

Aim / Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine how intense exercise effect the blood pressure, heart rate and the extent upto, which the cardiac remolding may occur in elite athletes. Location of Study: This study was conducted in the Department of Physiology, Army Medical College, along with the Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology (AFIC) in Rawalpindi. Methodology: There were 40 control participants and 40 elite endurance athletes. Clinical tests were performed on all the subjects to rule out an underlying medical condition or disease. Auscultatory method was used to measure the heart rate before exercise and immediately after exercise, Similarly the blood pressure was examined before and within 3 minutes after the physical activity. The left ventricular end-diastolic internal diameter (LVIDd), diastolic posterior wall thickness (PWTd), diastolic interventricular septal thickness (IVSTd), and left ventricular mass (LVM) were measured by echocardiography and determined using the Devereux formula. Before breakfast, the participants engaged in maximum physical activity on an electronic ergometer cycle until they were exhausted. Results: It was observed that when compared to the control group, the heart rates and blood pressure of athletes were noticeably lower. In contrast, LVIDd, IVSTd, PWTd, and LVM were higher in athletes than in healthy controls... Conclusion: The long term athletic training causes remodeling of the heart with increased dimensions of the left ventricle which reduces the heart rate and blood pressure in endurance trained athletes.
OUTRAS VOZES PARA CANTAR A RESISTÊNCIA:

Em 1963, Ovídio Martins publicou o livro Caminhada. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar um conjunto de poemas extraídos dessa publicação, verificando o funcionamento da intertextualidade e em que direção o diálogo com a tradição conduz a lírica do poeta cabo-verdiano. Para tal fim, utilizamos como pressupostos teóricos o estudo de Jenny (1979), acerca da intertextualidade, e o conceito de hipertextualidade formulado por Genette (1989). Os resultados indicam que, ao dialogar com a tradição literária, com fatos históricos, com o mito sebastianista e com a Bíblia, Ovídio Martins se apropria dos textos para transformá-los, de tal modo que a sua escrita se configura como o lócus da assimilação do alheio para a constituição do próprio. E o próprio, nesse caso, inclui uma expressão poética dotada de uma força singular, que se revela majoritariamente como resistência, seja à censura e ao evasionismo, seja à opressão colonial.
Análise crítica do discurso ecológico em manchetes de língua inglesa: as ebulições políticas e as representações do Brasil no governo Temer

Published: May 2024

A partir dos pressupostos teóricos e metodológicos da Análise do Discurso Crítica, neste artigo apresentamos um trabalho de pesquisa sobre o discurso ecológico do/sobre o Brasil e suas representações em manchetes de agências de notícias, jornais e revistas publicadas nos Estados Unidos durante o governo de Michel Temer (2016 a 2018). O escopo desta pesquisa foca nas questões ecológicas e, por conseguinte, concernentes ao meio ambiente, Amazônia, mudança climática, preservação da natureza, entre outros assuntos correlatos. Contudo, no período compreendido entre 2016 e 2018 o Brasil também estava nas manchetes internacionais por causa de outros acontecimentos, como a crise política e econômica no país, as investigações envolvendo grandes nomes do ramo político e/ou empresarial, as manifestações que pediam a saída da presidente Dilma Rousseff do poder, entre outros eventos locais que ganharam destaques nas mídias globais. A pesquisa teve por objetivo identificar e analisar os elementos lexicais, construções sintáticas e aspectos semânticos que revelassem práticas discursivas dos diferentes atores sociais que se representam nas manchetes. Como resultados, pudemos concluir que as práticas discursivas e sociais dos sujeitos que representavam o Brasil sob Temer não contribuíram para melhora do país e avolumaram acúmulos discursivos negativos das representações do país na seara ambiental e/ou ecológica, conforme inscritas nas manchetes analisadas.

Most sub-Sahara African countries faced with prolonged resource deficiencies suffers specific constraints in establishing a functional and operationally-free pharmacovigilance systems platforms which should guide and in facilitate the generation of vital data to reinforce health information policies and practices. Despite the commendable efforts invested by the different stake holders within such countries to harmonize pharmacovigilance guidelines and regulations, lack of integration and the dependence on pharmacovigilance systems remain major constrains. Other identified difficulties are those associated with the problem of translating data reporting tools into multiple communicable languages, and the inadequacy of the healthcare experts who translates with the patient’s population, the pressure imposed by the short consultation time between a patient and a health practitioner. To add to this, there exist issues of community concern like the increasing use of herbal traditional products with anecdotal therapeutic evidence, low quality, self-medication practices, counterfeit and roadside drugs use, substandard medications that are readily accessible to the population. Some prolonged problems are associated with social and political instability, territorial conflicts, little or no access to drug utilization data, which makes it difficult to reliably estimate the true risks of medication use. Pharmacovigilance activities are still at its infancy due to poor and less trained health personnel, lack of budget allocation for health vigilance from the State financial attributions. In addition to the limited investment in pharmacovigilance activities, there is little collaboration between public health programmes and National Medicines Regulatory Authorities (NMRA), especially during mass drug administration for neglected tropical diseases and mass vaccinations. Frequent spontaneous report in SSA is low and this can hinder robust signal detection analyses. This paper attempts to identify the challenges of the practice of pharmacovigilance in sub-Saharan African countries and its implication in health vigilance in the community. In this paper, we review the specific challenges and areas of progress in pharmacovigilance in SSA.
