Authors: Farooq Umar , Tabash Mosab I. , Anagreh Suhaib , Alnahhal Mohammed 
Published: September 2021

The current wave of COVID-19 outbreak has created new strategical challenges for policy officials of the industrial sector across the world. The effect of COVID-19 is more in developing economies where industrial sector is already struggling for its stability. This study introduces the impact of COVID-19 on the corporate investment behavior of non-financial publicly listed firms of Pakistan. To achieve the objective, we employ the panel data ranging from 2010 to 2020 and apply the difference-in-differences (DID) model to quantifies the empirical relationship. The outcomes of DID model suggest that the pandemic period and treatment have a significant and negative impact on corporate capital investment behavior. During pandemic spread period, the enterprises have limited their investment into fixed assets due to less productive use of such assets. Similarly, industries that exist in high-impact areas face a negative investment growth rate due to quarantine policy, fewer social movements, and high installing cost of new machinery. However, this negative effect diminishes across those firms that have a quick cash inflow rate and more availability of bank loans. These two factors serve as a financial setback against the adversities of pandemic. By drawing upon the empirical reasoning on the effect of COVID-19, this study also presents possible solutions to alienate unfavorable impacts of this pandemic. Current analysis can be considered as an early attempt towards investigating the consequences of COVID-19 on investment decisions of industrial sector.JEL Classification: G32: G31: G40: C33 Doi: 10.28991/esj-2021-SPER-11 Full Text: PDF
Bulk rheology characterization of biopolymer solutions and discussions of their potential for enhanced oil recovery applications
Authors: Clinckspoor Karl Jan , Ferreira Vitor Hugo de Sousa , Moreno Rosangela Barros Zanoni Lopes 
Published: September 2021

Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques are essential to improve oil production, and polymer flooding has become one of the promising technologies for the Brazilian Pre-Salt scenario. Biopolymers offer a range of advantages considering the Pre-Salt conditions compared to synthetic polymers, such as resistance to high salinity, high temperature, and mechanical degradation. In that sense, bulk rheology is the first step in a workflow for performance analysis.
This paper presents a rheological analysis of four biopolymers (Schizophyllan, Scleroglucan, Guar Gum, and Xanthan Gum) in concentrations from 10 to 2,300 ppm, generally suitable for EOR applications, in temperature levels of 25, 40, 50, 60 and 70°C and two brines of 30,100 ppm and 69,100 ppm total dissolved solids, which aim to model seawater and the mixture between injected seawater and reservoir water typical in Pre-Salt conditions. The pseudoplastic behavior, the overlap concentration, and the activation energy were determined for each polymer solution.
The structural differences in the polymers resulted in different rheological behaviors. Schizophyllan is the most promising, as its viscosifying power is higher than synthetic polymers comparable to Xanthan Gum. Its resistance at high temperatures is higher than that of synthetic polymers. Scleroglucan behaved similarly to Xanthan Gum, with the added advantage of being nonionic. Guar Gum had the lowest viscosities, highest overlap concentrations, and most pronounced viscosity decay among the tested polymers.
To the author’s knowledge, rheological studies of the biopolymers presented here, considering the viscosities and the overlap concentration and activation energy, in the Pre-salt conditions, are not available in the literature and this will benefit future works that depend on this information

Published: September 2021

Maternal diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease that carries significant risks for the fetus and newborn. Hyperglycemia during pregnancy contributes to the development of structural heart defects, myocardial hypertrophy, and impaired cardiac function in newborns. The objective of the study was to evaluate the echocardiographic parameters of the cardiac function in children born to mothers with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1).A prospective study of 163 newborns was conducted on the basis of the Republican Scientific and Practical Center “Mother and Child”. The children were divided into 2 groups. The main group consisted of 107 children born to mothers with DM1 (Gr1), the control group – 56 healthy infants born to women with normoglycemia during pregnancy (Gr2).It was found that a newborn in Gr1 has a larger thickness of the interventricular septum (IVS) (p < 0.001), the posterior wall of the left ventricle (p < 0.001), and the size of the right ventricle (p < 0.001). It was revealed that in Gr1 the frequency of myocardial hypertrophy with an interventricular septum thickness of 5 mm or more is 30.8 %, which is statistically significantly higher in comparison with Gr2 (1.8 %, F = 0.115, p < 0.001). When assessing the blood flow using a pulse-wave Doppler study, the manifestations of the diastolic dysfunction in Gr1 were revealed. The E/A ratio for the flow through the mitral valve in Gr1 was 0.9 (0.8–1.1), in Gr2 – 1.2 (1.0–1.4), p = 0.043. The study confirmed a lower frequency of registration of myocardial hypertrophy with good glycemic control during pregnancy (p < 0.05). Direct correlations between the average level of glycated hemoglobin in mothers and the IVS thickness (r = 0.374, p < 0.05) and the posterior wall of the left ventricle (r = 0.293, p < 0.05) of their newborns were observed in infants in Gr1.The use of pump insulin therapy in pregnant women with type 1 diabetes allowed a statistically significant reduction in the frequency of hypertrophy of the left ventricle in infants in the neonatal period.Diabetes mellitus type 1 in the mother determines not only the risk of congenital heart defects, but also hypertrophic changes in the myocardium, contributes to the diastolic dysfunction in this group of children. The achievement of target levels of glycated hemoglobin during pregnancy, using pump insulin therapy, provides a lower frequency of registration of ventricular septal hypertrophy. The revealed statistically significant differences in the IVS thickness and the posterior wall of the left ventricle in infants born to mothers with type 1 diabetes should be taken into account by doctors in the system of organizing medical care in inpatient settings and at the stage of dispensary observation.

Abstrak: Teori Gestalt memandang bahwa pembelajaran tidak hanya tentang rangsangan dan respon tetapi lebih pada pemahaman tentang suatu masalah yang mampu menarik kesimpulan baru yang berwawasan. Pencetus teori Gestalt termasuk Max Wetheimer, Wolfgang Kohler dan Kurt Kofka. Dalam teori Gestalt terdapat beberapa hukum yaitu hukum kedekatan, hukum ketertutupan dan hukum kesamaan. Diantara prinsip pembelajaran Gestalt adalah pembelajaran melalui wawasan (pemahaman), pembelajaran merupakan reorganisasi dari pengalaman, pembelajaran akan lebih berhasil bila sesuai dengan minat siswa. Sedangkan prinsip persepsi Gestalt termasuk prinsip kontinuitas dan hubungan figur-ground. Kekuatan teori Gestalt adalah anak mampu membangun suatu masalah menjadi pengetahuan atau pemahaman baru, namun teori Gestalt ini juga memiliki kelemahan, yakni teori Gestalt tidak bisa diterapkan pada maeri-materi tertentu.Kata Kunci: Teori Pembelajaran, Gestalt, Pemahaman. Abstract: Gestalt theory views that learning is not only about stimuli and responses but rather about understanding a problem faced which is able to draw new insightful conclusions. Gestalt characters include Max Wetheimer, Wolfgang Kohler and Kurt Kofka. In Gestalt theory, there are several laws, namely the law of closeness, the law of closure and the law of equality. Among the principles of Gestalt learning is that learning through insight (understanding), learning is a reorganization of experiences, learning will be more successful when it comes to interests. Meanwhile, the principles of Gestalt perception include the principle of continuity and Figure-ground relationship. The strength of Gestalt theory is that children are able to reconstruct a problem into new knowledge or understanding, however in the Gestalt theory has also the weaknesses that the gestalt theory cannot be applied to certain materials.Keywords:Learning Theory, Gestalt, Comprehension

Published: September 2021

Many Deaf Filipinos remain unemployed despite the increased attention level from the hospitality industry. The study aimed to examine the levels of awareness on Deaf culture and FSL skills within the hospitality industry of Zamboanga City to foster sustainable employment - including quality service; it used a descriptive research design employing qualitative and quantitative approaches. The sample group was purposively selected from 4 hotels and 8 restaurants - duly accredited by the Department of Tourism Region 9 as of December 31, 2018. The study revealed that Zamboanga City hospitality industry stakeholders were aware 1) of Deaf culture; that 2) Deaf individuals can visually communicate through reading, writing, gestures, or FSL; 3) they can visually communicate with Deaf individuals regardless of their FSL knowledge or skills; also, 4) there was no significant difference in the respondents’ levels of awareness on Deaf culture and FSL skills in the area; 5) an intervention program is needed to increase Deaf Zamboangeños' hospitality employability. The study concluded that Zamboangeño hospitality industry stakeholders 1) were aware of Deaf culture and FSL skills despite linguistic differences; 2) can visually communicate with Deaf individuals despite having little to no FSL skills nor Deaf culture knowledge; also, 3) the communication models affect Deaf individuals' hospitality employability and capability; and, 4) Deaf culture awareness and FSL skills through interactive interaction among Deaf and hearing individuals, within hospitality business operations, are crucial in emerging communication patterns.

BACKGROUNDWithin a decade, the expeditious evolution of technology has catalyzed digital advancements employed even at one’s fingertips. Now a household item, smartphones host innumerable apps supporting users across the world. One of the rising market niches includes mental-health based applications, which further branch into topics of lifestyle, habit-building, and productivity.METHODSThis systematic review explores quantitative and qualitative studies discussing variables of influence on social behaviours and trends for mental-health based applications. Searched databases include Science Direct, ProQuest, and Scopus with further supplementation of grey literature from Science Daily, Common Sense Media, and Extreme Networks. Extracted data precluded meta-analysis given the significant heterogeneity in study design, outcomes, and measurements. Studies were screened with a piloted tool and screening &amp; extraction was completed independently among two authors. Disagreements following reconciliation between the two authors were settled by a third author. RESULTSAppraised articles identified trends &amp; behaviors associated with app functionality, accessibility, and data/privacy security. The decline or absence of these features correlated with low user engagement.CONCLUSIONPrevalent features were determined for enhanced functionality, accessibility, and database security, which may serve to bolster apps within mental-health and its niches.

Authors: Paudel Radha , Shrestha Sarita 
Published: September 2021

Introduction: Junk food consumption among adolescents has become a serious issue that may lead to harmful effects on health. Dietary patterns of people are shifting from homemade foods to junk foods. Therefore, this study was undertaken to assess the awareness and practice of junk foods among adolescents.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among adolescents of secondary level students. A simple random sampling technique was used to select the sample and the sample size was 237. Data collection was done from April 15, 2019 to May 14, 2019. A set of semi-structured self-administered questionnaire was used for data collection. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse and interpret the findings.
Results: The findings showed that more than three-fifth (67.9%) of adolescents had a moderate level of awareness about junk foods. Half (49.4%) of them consumed junk foods highly. All (100%) adolescents have consumed junk foods regularly whereas two-fifth (42.2%) replaced meals once a week with junk foods. Four-fifth (82.3%) of adolescents did not bring tiffin from home. There was no significant association between the awareness and practice of junk foods (p < 0.05).
Conclusions: This study concludes that most of the adolescents possessed a moderate level of awareness of junk foods. Majority of them did not bring tiffin from their home. Around half of them consumed junk foods in their daily life. Majority of them were aware of junk foods, although they still consumed junk foods.
Les racines oubliées de la logistique
Authors: Rouquet Aurélien 
Published: September 2021

Cet article revient à l’origine de la logistique. Pour cela, il étudie la fonction de « Maréchal général des logis », à partir de laquelle Jomini forge le terme de « logistique ». En analysant 18 traités militaires parus entre le 16e et le 18e siècle, l’article montre que ce qui pousse à la création de la fonction, c’est la difficulté à l’époque d’organiser les logements et les déplacements d’une armée de plus en plus grande. Le maréchal général des logis est celui qui coordonne les phases d’arrêt et de marche d’une armée en campagne, en mobilisant des compétences géographiques, mathématiques et informationnelles et en s’appuyant sur une structure opérationnelle faite de fourriers, de guides et de vaguemestres.
Failed endovascular therapy for acute internal carotid artery occlusion from pituitary apoplexy: illustrative case
Authors: Elsehety Marwah A. , Zeineddine Hussein A. , Barreto Andrew D. , Blackburn Spiros L. 
Published: September 2021

BACKGROUND
Large pituitary adenomas can rarely cause compression of the cavernous internal carotid artery (ICA) due to chronic tumor compression or invasion. Here, the authors present a case of pituitary apoplexy causing acute bilateral ICA occlusion with resultant stroke. Our middle-aged patient presented with sudden vision loss and experienced rapid deterioration requiring intubation. Computed tomography (CT) angiography revealed a large pituitary mass causing severe stenosis of the bilateral ICAs. CT perfusion revealed a significant perfusion delay in the anterior circulation. The patient was taken for cerebral angiography, and balloon angioplasty was attempted with no improvement in arterial flow. Resection of the tumor was then performed, with successful restoration of blood flow. Despite restoration of luminal patency, the patient experienced bilateral ICA infarcts.

OBSERVATIONS
Pituitary apoplexy can present as an acute stroke due to flow-limiting carotid compression. Balloon angioplasty is ineffective for the treatment of this type of compression. Surgical removal of the tumor restores the flow and luminal caliber of the ICA.

LESSONS
Pituitary apoplexy can be a rare presentation of acute stroke and should be managed with immediate surgical decompression rather than attempted angioplasty in order to restore blood flow and prevent the development of cerebral ischemia.
Surgical repair of a large intrathoracic meningocele associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 after failed cystoperitoneal shunts: illustrative case
Authors: Sum Christopher H. F. , Li Lai-Fung , Taw Benedict B. T. , Lui Wai-Man , Sit Ko-Yung , Chow Velda L. Y. , Wong Yat-Wa 
Published: September 2021

BACKGROUND
Surgical treatment of intrathoracic meningoceles, commonly associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), aims to reduce sac size for symptomatic relief. The procedures can be divided into cerebrospinal fluid diversion and definitive repair. The authors describe the management of an intrathoracic meningocele in a 56-year-old female with preexisting NF1.

OBSERVATIONS
The patient presented with progressive dyspnea. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a left hemithoracic meningocele arising from the thecal sac at C7–T2. Two attempts at diversion by cystoperitoneal shunts resulted in recurrence. For definitive repair, T2–3 costotransversectomy was performed, and intradural closure of the meningocele opening was performed utilizing spinal dura and autologous fascia lata graft. Trapezius muscle regional flap was turned for reinforcement. Persistent leak warranted reoperation 7 days later. A transthoracic approach was undertaken using video-assisted thoracoscopic resection of the sac at aortic arch level, with reinforcement by latissimus dorsi flap and synthetic materials. Mechanical pleurodesis was performed. Intradural repair of the meningocele opening was revised.

LESSONS
Inherent dural abnormality makes repair difficult for meningoceles associated with NF1. A combined intradural and thoracoscopic approach with regional muscle flap and synthetic material reinforcement is a unique method for definitive treatment. Some essential points of perioperative management are highlighted.
