Published: September 2021

Commelinaceae is used for ethnobotany. However, bioactive compounds information of this family is few data. The aim here was to determine the bioactive compounds and quantify the antioxidant activity from leaves 10 species. Twenty amino acids were identified using LC/MS/MS. The antioxidant contents were evaluated by the total phenolic and total flavonoid content assays. The individual phenolic acids, flavonoids and vitamin c were identified by HPLC. The antioxidant activities detected were DPPH scavenging and FRAP assay. The total amino acids found in most samples studied ranging from 239 to 1012 µg/g DW. Vitamin C contents were in the range of 23 to 195 mg/100 g DW. Total phenolic and total flavonoid contents ranged from 11.3 to 35.7 mg GAE/g DW and 56.7 to 368.7 mg RE/100 g DW, respectively. All the species studied possessed strong antioxidant properties (DPPH and FRAP). This result can be applied for further development of functional foods or cosmetics.

Abstract
Aim of study: Aim was to determine the vascular flora of the Ormanüstü Planning Unit (Karadeniz Technical University Education-Research and Application Forest).
Area of study: The research area is under the influence of the Euro-Siberian phytogeographical region and is represented with a high rate (44%, 288 taxa). Irano-Turanian and Mediterranean elements are represented by 26 (4%) and 22 taxa (3%), respectively. Totally 320 taxa (49%) are multi-regional or of unknown origin. In addition, 33 endemic (5%), 12 rare (1.8%), 5 alien (0.8%) and 17 cosmopolitan (2.6%) taxa were identified.
Material and methods: The entire study area was visited periodically and plant samples were collected from 166 sample plots (1000 m2), and then they were pressed with wooden frames. Approximately 1800 vascular plant specimens were collected between the years 2005 and 2008 to form the floristic list.
Main results: Studies revealed the presence of 656 taxa (585 species, 62 subspecies and 9 varieties) belonging to 95 families and 354 genera. Of these, 22 taxa (3.4%) are ferns and 634 (96.6%) are seed plants. The best-represented families are as follows; Asteraceae (75), Poaceae (48) and Fabaceae (41). According to richest genera; Campanula (14), Carex (10), Alchemilla (9) and Geranium (9) have the greatest number of taxa.
Highlights: It was concluded that the study area is important in terms of plant diversity. The discovery of a new species from this area, described by us and published in 2009 (Astragalus ansinii Uzun, Terzioğlu & Pal.-Uzun), supports this fact.

Urban Running Activity Detected Using a Seismic Sensor during COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Zhao Yumin , Li Yunyue Elita , Nilot Enhedelihai , Fang Gang 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
Human foot traffic in urban environments provides essential information for city planners to manage the urban resources and urban residents to plan their activities. Compared to camera or mobile-based solutions, seismic sensors detect human footstep signals with fewer privacy concerns. However, seismic sensors often record signals generated from multiple sources, particularly in an urban outdoor environment. In this article, we monitor people’s running activities during COVID-19 pandemic with a seismic sensor in a park in Singapore. We compare the spectra of natural and urban events in the recorded seismic data. For each 3 s seismic data, we define hierarchical screening criteria to identify footsteps based on the spectrum of the signal and its envelope. We derive the cadence of each runner by detecting the primary frequency of the footstep signals. The resulting algorithm achieves higher accuracy and higher temporal resolution for weak and overlapping signals compared to existing methods. Runner statistics based on four-month long seismic data show that urban running activities have clear daily and weekly cycles. Lockdown measures to mitigate COVID-19 pandemic promoted running activities, particularly over the weekends. Cadence statistics show that morning runners have higher cadence on average.
The Historical Seismicity of the Puebla-Tlaxcala Region (Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt) during Early Novohispanic Times (A.D. 1542–1740) and the Structure of the Tlaxcala-Huamantla Half-Graben
Authors: Suter Max 
Published: September 2021

AbstractThis article documents earthquake intensity observations during early novohispanic times (A.D. 1542–1740) in the Puebla-Tlaxcala region (central Mexico), mostly based on Nahuatl-language historical annals and chronicles, and includes (as a supplement) a descriptive earthquake catalog for this period. Although it is difficult to assign intensities from fragmentary accounts, the largest shocks (A.D. 1582 and 1711) caused damage through the entire region. Earthquake ground shaking in the study area, located within the active volcanic arc crossing central Mexico, can result from intraslab normal faulting in the subducted Cocos plate, subduction interface thrust earthquakes, motion on the faults of the intra-arc Tlaxcala-Huamantla half-graben, as well as extension accommodated through magmatic injection. Most of the historical sources describe earthquakes felt only locally and sometimes report prolonged sequences of shocks, which is indicative of magmatic dike-induced earthquakes or else resulted from motion on the faults of the Tlaxcala-Huamantla half-graben. This structure, ∼70 km long and 15–20 km wide, is the only major tectonic depression in the eastern part of the trans-Mexican volcanic belt. It is filled by a volcano-sedimentary sequence, up to 400 m thick, of unknown but likely Pliocene age. The half-graben is bound in the north by an east–west-striking and south-dipping normal fault system, which is morphologically most pronounced near the town of Tlaxcala where the footwall uplift reaches a maximum of 350 m. The fault array is likely to be active; it vertically displaces Quaternary Totolqueme volcano.
Os Reflexos do Novo Código de Processo Civil na Exceção de Pré-Executividade em Matéria Tributária
Authors: Alves Mickael Ferreira 
Published: September 2021

ResumoCom a publicação no ano de 2015 do Novo Código de Processo Civil serão analisados ao longo deste trabalho acadêmico seus reflexos no instituto da exceção de pré-executividade em matéria tributária. Sabe-se que ela é um importante incidente processual de defesa que o ordenamento jurídico do Brasil permite que seja manuseada quando determinada pessoa está sendo executada em face de uma cobrança equivocada quando existe uma Certidão de Dívida Ativa. Também serão analisadas algumas questões pontuais da execução fiscal que sofreram impactos devido a nova legislação processual civil, uma vez que esta é fonte complementar ou até mesmo pode ser invocada como norma principal para os procedimentos administrativos tributários. E por último serão debatidos aspectos relacionados a diferenciação entre a exceção de pré-executividade e os embargos, em que em ambas as situações estão sendo discutidos créditos tributários, em virtude das inúmeras ações tributárias movidas diariamente, inclusive em sede de execuções fiscais conforme disposições na Lei nº 6.830/1980.

AbstractWith the publication in 2015 of the New Code of Civil Procedure, its reflexes in the institute of the exception of pre-execution in tax matters will be analyzed throughout this academic work. It is known that it is an important procedural defense incident that the Brazilian legal system allows it to be handled when a certain person is being executed in the face of a mistaken collection when there is an Active Debt Certificate. Some specific issues of tax enforcement that have been impacted by the new civil procedural legislation will also be analyzed, since this is a complementary source or may even be invoked as the main rule for administrative tax procedures. Finally, aspects related to the differentiation between the pre-execution exception and the embargoes will be discussed, in which in both situations tax credits are being discussed, due to the numerous tax lawsuits filed daily, including in the case of tax foreclosures as provided in the Law No. 6,830 / 1980.

Published: September 2021

ResumoA Declaração Universal dos Direitos do Homem fundou as bases dos princípios de proteção à dignidade da pessoa humana. Dentre esses princípios gerais, está a ideia de proibição de instituição de normas ou políticas públicas que impliquem em retrocesso nas garantias fundamentais. A partir da premissa de que o Brasil é signatário da DUDH, o presente trabalho tenta responder ao seguinte questionamento: A Emenda Constitucional nº 103 ao modificar e reintroduzir no ordenamento jurídico a idade mínima como requisito de admissibilidade para a concessão de aposentadoria especial, implicou em retrocesso social no âmbito do direito previdenciário? Seria a Emenda inconstitucional?

AbstractThe digital age is a real revolution in the access to information and all this transformation has been influencing the way people are communicating and interacting with each other. Due to this technological advancement, the digital collection becomes relevant in the legal sphere, being recognized as a good of economic and sentimental value. The digital inheritance is a reality and the Law needs to advance side by side to achieve the great changes brought about in the social environment, implying in defining what will be done with the digital collection after the death of the account holder in digital communication and social interaction platforms . Therefore, there is no specific law dealing with this matter. Thus, the present study aimed to analyze the destination of digital goods when the holder does not declare his will alive. Finally, the traditional succession institute was analyzed, comparing its adequacy to the transmission of digital goods after death when there is no will, thus giving rise to its total protection.

Published: September 2021

Background: COVID-19 pandemic has brought tremendous changes in the functioning of residency training. The impact was maximal on surgical residents whose hands-on training was affected. This study aimed to assess the effect of COVID-19 pandemic on medical education and training of surgical residents. Methods: A single institutional cross-sectional survey was conducted in a large tertiary care hospital in India. It included residents in various surgical specialties. The survey was divided into six sections to cover all the aspects of their residency.Results: Out of 106 residents who participated in the study, 95 (59.3%) had worked in the dedicated COVID-19 facility, and 97 (91.5%) feared transmitting the infection to their family members. There was a considerable reduction in both elective and emergency surgeries performed by residents (p<0.05).There was a significant reduction in the working hours per day, helping residents get more time for research work. Further Maslach burnout inventory score was 7.43±2.35 after the pandemic, which shows a statistically significant reduction (p<0.001) in residents' burnout.Conclusions: Surgical residents had to balance their residency training with caring for COVID-19 patients. There had been a decrease in their hands-on training, clinical exposure, and working hours. Both theoretical and practical training of surgical residents has been affected during this pandemic. This survey can be used as a tool to improve the lives of surgical residents in any pandemic situation or during further waves of COVID-19.

Authors: Benedict Aquinas , Rajenthiran Vinothkumar , Eswaramurthy Abhinaya 
Published: September 2021

Background: To evaluate the effect of silodosin, darifenacin and combination therapy of two agents in improving the lower urinary tract symptoms of patients with indwelling double-J ureteral stents.Methods: A total of 150 patients underwent placement of a double-J ureteral stent after retrograde ureteroscopy for urinary stone disease. All patients received polyurethane double-J ureteral stents (4 Fr and length 26 cm), which were removed at a mean of around 14 days postoperatively. A total of 40 patients were given no medication (group 1), 39 patients were given silodosin 4 mg once daily (group 2), 40 patients were given darifenacin 7.5 mg once daily (group 3), and 31 patients were given a combination of two agents postoperatively (group 4). International prostate symptom score (IPSS) and visual analogue pain scale (VAPS) questionnaires were completed by each patient at 1st day postoperatively and on the day of stent removal.Results: In the total group of patients, the mean age was 50.24±12.90 years. There was a significant difference in the IPSS total score between group 1 and groups 3 and 4. Group 4 also differed significantly from group 1 in the irritative subscore. The obstructive subscore differed between groups 2 and 4 and group 1. There was a statistically significant difference between group 1 and group 4 in the quality of life (QoL) score.Conclusions: Combination therapy with silodosin and darifenacin improved both irritative and obstructive symptoms more than in the other groups. Combination therapy should be strongly considered for patients who complain of stent-related symptoms.
Air leak syndrome in COVID-19 – A case series
Authors: Mathew Manju , Kalliath Antony , Varghese Benju S , Mathew Alex 
Published: September 2021

Air leak syndrome manifesting as pneumomediastinum (PM), pneumothorax (PNX) or subcutaneous emphysema (SCE) has been reported in COVID-19 patients with increasing frequency and with varying outcomes. We report a series of eight cases of PM or SCE from 1 April to May 31, 2021, among COVID-19 patients admitted in our ICU. All the patients had severe hypoxemia (PaO2/FiO2 ratio ≤100) and were on noninvasive ventilation when the air leak was detected except one. PM/SCE was observed mostly on the 3 to 5 day after instituting positive pressure ventilation. High respiratory drive with mean tidal volumes in the range of 6 to 10ml/kg predicted body weight was observed in these patients. Mean inspiratory pressure (Pressure support + positive end expiratory pressure) and mean positive end expiratory pressure delivered by the ventilator ranged between 11 to 21 and 5 to 12 cm HO respectively. Outcomes varied with four deaths, four patients requiring intubation, two patients requiring chest drainage and four patients showing overall improvement out of the total eight patients with air leak.1.Air leak syndrome is not rare in COVID-19 with reported incidence of 10-14%; 2. Spontaneous noninvasive ventilation in patients with high respiratory drive and large fluctuations in tidal volumes seems to be a risk factor for air leak in patients with severe lung involvement; 3. A conservative approach without intercostal drainage seems to be acceptable in the absence of pneumothorax; 4. Prognosis is varied depending on the underlying disease and not always catastrophic.
Megjegyzések a Vizsolyi biblia nyelvéről
Authors: A. Molnár Ferenc 
Published: September 2021

A cikk elsősorban azt a problémát tárgyalja, hogy egy bibliai héber szintagmát, amely ugyanannak az igének egy infinitívet és egy véges alakot tartalmazott, hogyan fordították le a régi magyar bibliafordításokban, különösen az első teljes Bibliában, a Vizsolyi Bibliában (1590, Vizsoly) és a későbbi, átdolgozott kiadásaiban. A héber szerkezetekben az infinitivusnak van kiemelő funkciója. A régi magyarra általában -va, -ve (-ván, -vén) határozói igenév végződéssel fordították, pl.: kérve kér ’kérve kér’ = ’könyörög’; vagy igéből származó főnévvel, határozói funkcióban: halállal hal ’halállal meghal’ = ’bizonyára meghal’. Ezek a bibliai szerkezetek a beszélt és az irodalmi nyelvre is hatást gyakoroltak (különösen Ady Endre költészetére †1919), és sajátos figura etymologicát alkotnak.
