Published: May 2021

The acquaintance of teenagers with the advent of time-economical and an advancedinteraction mode has threatened the English language's standard form.This research explores the phenomenon of mixing SMS language in ESL learners' writing skills regarding the choices of lexical and morpho-syntactic items and the presence and absence of SMS features at higher secondary level in Bahawalpur.Two questionnaires have been administered to collect data for quantitative analysis. The data has been collected from 80 ESL learners and 50 ESL teachersat the Intermediate level in private and government colleges sectors in Bahawalpur. Content analysis of 15-20 recently sent SMS has been conducted through text dictionaryof 80 ESL learners.The study shows the violation of standard norms of the English language, i.e., contractions, vowel deletion, punctuation mistakes, use of letters and symbols observed in SMS, and written assignments collected from ESL learnersof both sectors. Although SMS has its radicaleffects in the form oflearners' negligence, carelessness, syntactic ignorance, and absence of teachers' guidance, teaching methodology, and educational context are also the cause of learners'inept written work.

Authors: Paruthy Samir , Paruthy Shivani B. 
Published: May 2021

Background: ‘Gold standard’ for symptomatic cholelithiasis is laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) with advantagesof minimal access surgery, early return to activity with cosmetic scar. However, this may not always holdtrue in all cases. Conversion to open procedure in challenging circumstances would be in better interest of the patient even after the learning curve of the surgeon has surpassed several years. Methods: Forty patients undergoing symptomatic gall stone disease without any acute episode in past six weeks were investigated. All cases were evaluated with clinical examinations, biochemical parameters and preoperative ultrasonography done a day prior for prediction of difficult LC. All cases correlated with preoperative USG parameters and Nassar per operative grade (1-4 and 5) and analyzed for prediction to open method in difficult challenging situations. Complications associated with in 30 day of surgical interventions were also recorded. Results: Difficult cholecystectomy was anticipated with USG parameters in 20 cases, and Nassar operative grading of difficulty (Grade-3, 4 and 5) predicted in 13 cases; the latter was correlated with conversion to open methods. p<0.05 in USG parameters and Nassar grading of operative difficulty was considered significant. There were no complications nor any surgical interventions required during 30 days interval.Conclusions: Per operative Nassar grading and prior USG parameters for prediction of likelihood of difficult cholecystectomy helps in guiding surgeon in challenging situation to safely proceed to complete cholecystectomy procedure either by laparoscope or open method in the better interest of the patient.

Authors: Sharma Chandan , Badyal Ashima 
Published: May 2021

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is known to occur in patients with previous history of pulmonary TB. It is still not very well known if there is any difference of clinical presentation between smoking related COPD or/and TB associated COPD. Methods: The present case control study was conducted at CHC Katra, Department of Medicine, over a period of 6 months from August 2018 to February 2018, on 100 patients; 50 suffering from COPD and 50 healthy individuals. Detailed clinical history for duration of symptoms, previous hospitalizations, and exposure to smoking along with the history of TB and ATT courses was recorded.Results: History of TB was found in 17 patients among cases and 7 patients among controls. In TB associated COPD, the pack years of smoking in case of smokers was 22.4±19.2. 44% (15/34) having exposure to smoking had history of TB. Mean age of patients exposed to smoking was (53.3±7.4) and that of non-smokers (60.1±8.2). A positive correlation with age, BMI, and duration of symptoms was found. Our results showed that almost one-third of COPD patients (34%) had history of TB. TB-associated COPD patients had similar symptoms in our study except for high frequency of hemoptysis.Conclusions: A detailed population survey is needed on COPD patients with history of TB. A larger group study among never-smokers is also needed. Finally, it is concluded that the case burden of TB associated COPD is real, huge and an urgent policy decision in this regard is mandated.
COMO ACONTECE O CASAMENTO DA ACCOUNTABILITY E IMPLEMENTAÇÃO DE POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS NA PANDEMIA?
Authors: Lins Carolina Maia 
Published: May 2021

A partir deste trabalho, questionamos o lugar da política pública no contexto pandêmico atual, permeado por uma crise de dimensão social, política e econômica. Neste sentido, buscamos entender como accountability pode favorecer as políticas prioritárias, sendo através das ideias, visto que ajudarão a estabelecer a formulação de políticas públicas, pois elas nortearão o início do ciclo de política pública. O objetivo é discutir a responsividade de atores políticos, que se faz ainda mais urgente quando nos remetemos à burocracia, democracia e a pandemia, pois todos dependem, em algum grau da accountability para cumprir com as políticas declaradas, e a busca da eficácia, visando localizar onde esses atores estão localizados principalmente na agenda de políticas. A metodologia utilizada é baseada em pesquisa bibliográfica de fonte secundária. Como resultados, foi possível estabelecer a importância da conexão entre formuladores e implementadores, efetuando um casamento dos atores centrais no processo decisório, com atores que compõem os subsistemas, pois é através dessa interação que podemos falar em “equilíbrio” decisório, ocorrendo assim o que chamamos de “monopólio de políticas”, que seria a conciliação de um entendendimento específico, direcionado e existente nas Federações, as quais tendem a necessitar sempre dessa conciliação entre atores centrais e autoridades de implementação, sendo pontos estratégicos às soluções.
HOW DO THE ECB MEETINGS AFFECT THE STOCK VALUATIONS OF FOUR IBEX35 BANKS?
Authors: Zain Samer Ajour El , Montero Albert , Gheshmi Reza , Perez Cristina Tomas 
Published: May 2021

Purpose: Analyze the data and draw there were any relevant conclusions between the meetings of the central bank and the movements of the banking corporations in the stock market.
Methodology: To carry out this study, it was necessary to obtain two extremely important data sets (exact dates of the ECB meetings, stock market valuations of the four banking entities understudy). Both were obtained by searching on specialized websites. Then a comparison of the variations, a correlation table, which will allow us to mathematically affirm whether there is a linear relationship and proportionality between the variations of the banks or not, were analyzed.
Main Findings: The results obtained indicate that such influence on the part of the European Central Bank on the financial entities listed on the IBEX35 does not exist, since the variations between bank shares are random and maybe would be better explained by other hypotheses or inputs.
Application of Study: This work discards the hypothesis proposed by the student, although it manages to find other interesting relationships between banks because of the correlation analysis carried out in the analysis part of the work.
Novelty/Originality: Establish the relationship between the meetings of the central bank and the movements of the banking corporations in the stock market.

Published: May 2021

A contribuição artística de Julian Bream (1933) para o repertório e para os padrões de performance permanece ainda hoje como uma importante referência em escala global, tanto entre os artistas quanto entre os acadêmicos. A entrevista que selecionamos, feita por Jim Ferguson e datada de 1990, é um balanço geral de sua obra e pensamento, dada alguns anos antes de sua aposentadoria. Fica evidente, ao longo da leitura, um importante tópico para debate no ensino: a ligação entre técnica e musicalidade e a codependência entre solução de problemas técnicos e compreensão musical que caracteriza um artista de excelência. Uma introdução e uma recapitulação situam o contexto das ideias principais e das consequências importantes dessas ideias para o campo da performance em violão.
Contribuições e limites da filosofia clássica grega para a música e a educação musical na atualidade: a música como mimese da realidade objetiva
Authors: De Abreu Thiago Xavier , Duarte Newton 
Published: May 2021

Este artigo objetiva apontar contribuições e limites da filosofia clássica grega para as reflexões sobre a música e a formação musical na atualidade. Por meio da pesquisa bibliográfica realizada em obras do campo da filosofia, da musicologia e da educação, analisamos os fundamentos acerca da natureza da música e da formação musical presentes no pensamento filosófico da Grécia Antiga. Em seguida, apoiados principalmente nas considerações de György Lukács, discutimos a importância dessas concepções para a superação das perspectivas subjetivistas e formalistas da música e da educação musical, destacando o caráter dialético da noção da música como uma mimese da realidade objetiva presente no pensamento grego. Assim, a filosofia clássica pode nos auxiliar no entendimento do sentido social da prática musical e de seus processos educacionais, nos mostrando caminhos para refletirmos sobre a atual condição da música em nossa sociedade; por outro lado, o caráter idealista dessas concepções nos impede de captar o sentido histórico e concreto desse papel social, demonstrando também alguns limites a serem superados.
A Ginga de Marisa Rezende: processos composicionais em uma de suas obras para grupo de câmara
Authors: Menezes Potiguara Curione 
Published: May 2021

Este trabalho procura estabelecer relações entre as texturas da obra Ginga (REZENDE, 1994), para conjunto de câmara, de Marisa Rezende, e as estruturas rítmicas das músicas associadas às danças ogogo, agbadza (africanas) e samba (brasileira). Para isso, são usados estudos de M. Lacerda (1988, 1990), bem como depoimento da compositora (REZENDE, 2010). Busca-se, também, elucidar alguns dos processos composicionais envolvidos no seu desenvolvimento formal - a partir de conceitos trazidos por diversos autores (BURKHOLDER, 1995. SPICER, 2004. FERRAZ, 2012) - e no plano da estruturação das alturas - usando a teoria dos conjuntos (FORTE, 1973. STRAUS, 2013). Pretende-se destacar a posição singular que Ginga ocupa frente ao repertório relacionado a manifestações musicais africanas ou afro-brasileiras, principalmente em razão da maneira distinta com que foram trabalhados tais elementos em sua construção, em comparação com as práticas da escola nacionalista brasileira. A análise aqui apresentada é fruto das pesquisas acadêmicas desse autor nos últimos anos.

Authors: Yang Zheng , Yang Fei , Lin Qian , Feng Xiaoru , Kong Ying 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
Purpose

The remarkable impact of response shift on quality of life (QoL) assessment among patients has been cited. There is an increased emphasis on distinguishing the real change of QOL and the self-regulation of individuals. This study aims to review the evidence of the response shift among patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
Methods

We conducted searches of five electronic databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, EBSCO host, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, manual review. Articles published up to 13 May 2020 were selected. Studies meeting the eligibility criteria were reviewed according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The quality of included articles was assessed using the National Institutes of Health Quality Assessment Tool for Observational Cohort and Cross-Sectional Studies.
Results

The search of databases yielded 121 articles and articles were included in this review. of them were quantitative prospective cohort studies and one was a qualitative perspective cross-sectional study. The QoL measurements included visual analog scale, time trade-off, standard gamble, individual interviews, the Schedule for Evaluation of Individual Quality of Life-Direct Weighting (SEIQoL-DW) and the ideal scale. A total of individuals was included, and the most common participants enrolled in these studies were patients with dialysis (studies). All of the eligible studies reported the use of then-test methods and of them used individualized measures including interviews, SEIQol-DW and ideal scale to examine response shifts. The existence of response shift was reported in each study and the most common type of response shifts detected was recalibration. The disease trajectory and have-want discrepancy of individuals were revealed as important factors of response shifts.
Conclusions

Our systematic review indicated that the response shift in QoL assessment among patients with ESRD was proved to exist and need more attention. What’s more, making use of response shifts to modify interventions may promote recovery and help patients adapt to illness better. Present studies were limited by the sample size, research design and response shift detection methods. Further work on advanced research design and RS detection methods is needed in the context of ESRD.

Published: May 2021

Abstract
BackgroundLitorilituus sediminis is a Gram-negative, aerobic, novel bacterium under the family of Colwelliaceae, has a stunning hypothetical protein containing domain called von Hippel–Lindau (pVHL) that has significant tumor suppressor activity. Therefore, this study was designed to elucidate the structure and function of the biologically important hypothetical protein EMK97_00595 (QBG34344.1) using several bioinformatics tools. ResultsThe functional annotation exposed that the hypothetical protein is an extracellular secretory soluble signal peptide and containing the VHL (VHL beta) domain that has a significant role in tumor suppression. This domain is conserved throughout evolution, as its homologs are available in various types of the organism like mammals, insects, and nematode. The gene product of VHL has a critical regulatory activity in the ubiquitous oxygen-sensing pathway. This domain has a significant role to inhibit cell proliferation, angiogenesis progression, kidney cancer, breast cancer, and colon cancer. ConclusionAt last, the current study depicts that the annotated hypothetical protein is linked with tumor suppressor activity which might be of great interest to future research in the higher organism.

Published: May 2021

Abstract
Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II) is employed to facilitate multi-objective optimization in Water Distribution Network(s) (WDN) framework for a benchmark problem of Hanoi Network and a real-world problem, Pamapur Network, Telangana, India. Maximization of resilience, minimization of cost and minimization of leakages are considered in a multiobjective context which result in generation of Non-dominated WDN Strategies (NWDNS). In order to simplify the decision making process of engineers, Fuzzy Cluster Analysis (FCA) is employed to categorize NWDNS into groups. Thereafter, Dunn’s Cluster Validity Index (DCVI) is used for identification of optimal cluster size. Representative NWDNS i.e. RNWDNS for each sub-cluster is based on the maximum membership of NWDNS in the respective sub-cluster. Ranking of RNWDNS is performed with three decision making algorithms, namely, Preference Ranking Organization METHod for Enrichment of Evaluations-2 (PROMETHEE-2), Multicriterion Q-analysis-2 (MCQA-2) and VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR). Additive ranking rule is also applied to facilitate obtained ranks in group decision making environment to arrive at the optimal WDN. It is observed that 1020 NWDNS generated for Hanoi network are optimally classified into 18 clusters based on DCVI, and A13 representing RNWDNS 37 is found preferable. Whereas 272 NWDNS generated for Pamapur network are classified into 9 clusters where S6 is preferred (representing RNWDNS 203).
Investigating the Performance of Sewn Seams from Woven Fabrics
Authors: Shamsuzzaman Md. 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
Seam performance ensures the durability, attractiveness, strength etc. of the sewn garments. Fabric types, fabric densities, fabric strength, seam types, sewing thread count, thread strength, stitch densities and stitch types influence the performance of a sewn seam. This paper investigates the performance of sewn seam of various structure of woven fabric. The variables of this research are stitch densities (SPI), sewing thread count, seam types and woven structures. We conduct our research over plain, twill 2/1, twill 2/2, oxford and poplin woven structure. Firstly, we apply lockstitch (301) to produce superimposed, lapped and bound seam on the woven sample by using thread count 27 Tex, 30 Tex, 20/2 Tex, 40 Tex, 40/2 Tex, 40/3 Tex having stitch densities (SPI) 8, 10 and 12. Then according to ASTM D1683 standard, we measured the tensile strength test and recorded the seam breaking strength (N). We apply error bars over each diagram to investigate the standard deviation. Finally, we discuss four hypothesis to conclude our research work. We found higher seam breaking strength with the increase of thread count and SPI. The bound seam samples has shown superior seam breaking strength than superimposed and lapped seam; poplin structure surpassed to others. The seam efficiency of the samples varies from 60–90% and do not exceeds 100%. Finally, we found some significant alternatives hypothesis of the population since F values exceeded F critical values for the sewn seam.
