Authors: Marques E. J. , Villas Boas A. M. 
Published: May 2021

Em face da importância da cigarrinha Mahanarva posticata (Stal, 1855) (HOM., Cercopidae), como praga da cana-de-açúcar no Estado de Pernambuco, efetuou-se um experimento em campo da Usina Central Barreiros, Pernambuco com o objetivo de conhecer os prejuízos agrícolas e industriais. Utilizou-se parcelas de 10 metros de comprimento por seis sulcos de cana da variedade CB 5241, com 10 repetições.
Os tratamentos constaram de parcelas expostas ao ataque da pra ga e parcelas protegidas com defensivos. Nas amostragens para determinação da infestação, considerou-se apenas ninfas médias, grandes e adultos.
Foi constatado uma perda de 11,2% de produção agrícola e 14,9% de rendimento industrial nas parcelas que suportaram uma infestação mg dia de 0,81 adultos, 3,75 ninfas grandes e 6,43 ninfas médias por colmo.

TÂM CỦA NGUYỄN DU TỪ THƠ CHỮ HÁN ĐẾN VĂN CHIÊU HỒN
Authors: Chương Nguyễn Cảnh 
Published: May 2021

From Chinese poetry, “The Tale of Kieu” to “Van chieu hon” shows a movement in Nguyen Du’s thought. The mind of Nguyen Du moved from the heart of a Confucian, in which Chinese poetry expressed life’s pains and sorrows, to the immense compassionate heart of Buddhism for sentient beings in “Van chieu hon” This article highlights that movement. At the same time, it is clear that, whether from the mind of the scholar Nguyen Du, or the mind of the Buddhist disciple Nguyen Du, the movement in Nguyen Du’s thought is also derived from a kind heart: a "thinking heart for a thousand years" of the great Vietnamese national poet.

Published: May 2021

Words for scent and fragrance appear in more abundance in “The Tale of Kieu” than in any other classical Vietnamese literary work. However, scent, aroma, smell, and fragrance are quite different. There are things and people who have a fragrance without a smell and vice versa. The expressive meanings of scent are very different and are expressed according to different aesthetic ideals and artistic principles. This article gives an in-depth exploration and understanding into such matters. This is also a way to discover and assert that Nguyen Du was an artistic genius.

Abstract
Using data from the Infrared Array Camera on the Spitzer Space Telescope, we present photometric observations of a sample of 100 trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) beyond 2.2 μm. These observations, collected with two broadband filters centered at 3.6 and 4.5 μm, were done in order to study the surface composition of TNOs, which are too faint to obtain spectroscopic measurements. With this aim, we have developed a method for the identification of different materials that are found on the surfaces of TNOs. In our sample, we detected objects with colors that are consistent with the presence of small amounts of water, and we were able to distinguish between surfaces that are predominantly composed of complex organics and amorphous silicates. We found that 86% of our sample have characteristics that are consistent with a certain amount of water ice, and the most common composition (73% of the objects) is a mixture of water ice, amorphous silicates, and complex organics. Twenty-three percent of our sample may include other ices, such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane, or methanol. Additionally, only small objects seem to have surfaces dominated by silicates. This method is a unique tool for the identification of complex organics and to obtain the surface composition of extremely faint objects. Furthermore, this method will be beneficial when using the James Webb Space Telescope for differentiating groups within the trans-Neptunian population.
La Cilicie au troisième siècle : une « région frontière » entre les Séleucides et les Lagides
Authors: Schiavo Roberta 
Published: May 2021

Pendant toute la durée du iii e siècle avant J.-C., la Cilicie figure parmi les territoires de l’Asie Mineure qui furent longtemps disputés entre Séleucides et Lagides. Cette tension du cadre géopolitique se manifeste clairement dans la fracture de l’unité politique et administrative de la région, à la suite de laquelle, tout au moins à partir des années 60 du iii e siècle avant J.-C., il est communément admis de différencier à grands traits une aire occidentale « lagide » et une aire orientale « séleucide » : autrement dit la Cilicie Trachée et la Cilicie plane de Strabon. En réalité, il n’est pas aisé de définir les sphères d’influence respectives des deux empires à l’intérieur de la région, surtout si nous considérons le peu de sources (historiographiques, épigraphiques, numismatiques, archéologiques) dont nous disposons et la difficulté de mettre de côté certains préjugés historiographiques qui pèsent encore aujourd’hui sur la reconstruction de l’histoire de la Cilicie hellénistique, en relation par exemple aux politiques coloniales conduites sur ce territoire par les Lagides et les Séleucides. Nous pouvons cependant dépasser ces problématiques, en nous concentrant plus particulièrement sur le trait spécifique de l’histoire de la région durant cette période, à savoir le rôle qu’elle a joué comme frontière entre les deux empires. Partant du présupposé que la frontière est le produit des processus d’interaction entre les différents acteurs qui opèrent intérieurement et des résultats que ces processus génèrent à différents niveaux (politico-administratif, économique, culturel, linguistique, etc.), nous proposerons une nouvelle lecture des dynamiques historiques qui intéressent la Cilicie au iii e siècle. Nous présenterons en particulier les résultats relatifs à l’étude de la formation et de l’évolution de la frontière administrative et militaire, culturelle et linguistique.
Interactions entre l’Anatolie et le royaume de Grande Arménie aux I er et II e siècles apr. J.-C.
Authors: Kéfélian Anahide 
Published: May 2021

Cet article traite des interactions entre l’Anatolie et le royaume d’Arménie entre le i er et ii e siècle après J.-C. Il permet ainsi d’aborder la question de l’importance du front anatolien dans la reprise de l’Arménie, sous influence romaine. À travers une étude pluridisciplinaire, l’auteur tente de discerner les étapes successives de l’évolution administrative en Anatolie, afin de comprendre quels impacts ces changements eurent sur la stratégie mise en place par Rome pour reprendre l’Arménie sous son influence. L’étude de ces changements administratifs, qui engendrèrent d’autres changements militaires et tactiques, contribue à mettre au jour une modification de l’itinéraire suivi pour envahir le royaume d’Arménie. Dans un premier temps, les invasions sembleraient s’être limitées à l’itinéraire empruntant la route sud en traversant l’Euphrate puis en remontant vers le nord en direction de la capitale Artaxata. Avec les changements importants engendrés par les Flaviens, et notamment l’installation du camp de Satala, Trajan envahit l’Arménie, semble-t-il pour la première fois, par la voie nord. Cette tactique se confirme par la suite sous le règne de Marc Aurèle.
Introduction. Le Grand Siècle de l’héraldique
Authors: Couhault Pierre 
Published: May 2021

S’appuyant sur un rapide bilan de l’historiographie consacrée aux périodes précédentes, cette introduction présente les enjeux principaux d’une histoire de l’héraldique au xviie siècle. Elle rappelle les différents acteurs du blason (sociaux, politiques, commerciaux) et replace cette discipline dans une histoire des sciences et des savoirs ainsi que dans le contexte de la République des lettres. Elle montre aussi comment l’imprimé armorial constitue un lieu intéressant de l’histoire de l’édition et comment culture et pratique héraldiques doivent être comprises comme des enjeux de distinction et d’affirmation sociale, politique, voire esthétique dans un monde en tension.
Savoir et pratique héraldique au xvii e siècle, l’exemple de Gaignières
Authors: Hablot Laurent 
Published: May 2021

En 1699, François-Roger de Gaignières visite Poitiers. Accompagné de son peintre et de son paléographe, il relève et étudie le décor héraldique du couvent des Jacobins de la ville – qui passe alors pour l’armorial de la bataille de 1356. La préparation de Gaignières, sa documentation et les notes prises à cette occasion révèlent comment le célèbre collectionneur du xviie siècle envisageait les monuments héraldiques du passé – entre curiosité érudite et conservation des antiquités nationales.
La guerre des talents aura-t-elle lieu ? Panorama des enjeux humains dans l’essor du spatial chinois
Authors: Deville Jean , Thibault Guillaume 
Published: May 2021

Le secteur spatial chinois connaît depuis un peu moins d’une décennie une petite révolution : commercialisation, ouverture aux capitaux privés, important rattrapage technologique, pression sur les conglomérats d’Etat suite aux succès de SpaceX et plus généralement du NewSpace américain. Ces changements, couplés avec les évolutions récentes de l’économie numérique chinoise (succès des géants de la tech, digitalisation des industries traditionnelles), entraînent aujourd’hui des changements profonds sur les ressources humaines dans l’industrie spatiale. L’objectif de cet article est double : après un panorama de l’enseignement supérieur spatial chinois et le parcours des dirigeants du secteur, il s’agira de discuter de l’attractivité du spatial vis-à-vis d’autres secteurs, les flux de talents entre sociétés d’Etat et sociétés privées, et l’impact sur les salaires.
Comparative analysis of open, laparoscopic and robotic distal pancreatic resection
Authors: Kamarajah Sivesh Kathir , Sutandi Nathania , Sen Gourab , Hammond John , Manas Derek M , French Jeremy J , White Steven A 
Published: May 2021

Introduction:
Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP) has potential advantages over its open equivalent open distal pancreatectomy (ODP) for pancreatic disease in the neck, body and tail. Within the United Kingdom (UK), there has been no previous experience describing the role of robotic distal pancreatectomy (RDP). This study evaluated differences between ODP, LDP and RDP.

Methods:
Patients undergoing distal pancreatectomy performed in the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery at the Freeman Hospital between September 2007 and December 2018 were included from a prospectively maintained database. The primary outcome measure was length of hospital stay, and the secondary outcome measures were complication rates graded according to the Clavien–Dindo classification.

Results:
Of the 125 patients, the median age was 61 years and 46% were male. Patients undergoing RDP (n = 40) had higher American Society of Anesthesiologists grading III compared to ODP (n = 38) and LDP (n = 47) (57% vs. 37% vs. 38%, P = 0.02). RDP had a slightly lower but not significant conversion rate (10% vs. 13%, P = 0.084), less blood loss (median: 0 vs. 250 ml, P < 0.001) and a higher rate of splenic preservation (30% vs. 2%, P < 0.001) and shorter operative time, once docking time excluded (284 vs. 300 min, P < 0.001) compared to LDP. RDP had a higher R0 resection rate than ODP and LDP (79% vs. 47% vs. 71%, P = 0.078) for neoplasms. RDP was associated with significantly shorter hospital stay than LDP and ODP (8 vs. 9 vs. 10 days, P = 0.001). While there was no significant different in overall complications across the groups, RDP was associated with lower rates of Grade C pancreatic fistula than ODP and LDP (2% vs. 5% vs. 6%, P = 0.194).

Conclusion:
Minimally invasive pancreatic resection offers potential advantages over ODP, with a trend showing RDP to be marginally superior when compared to conventional LDP, but it is accepted that that this is likely to be at greater expense compared to the other current techniques.
Long-term and short-term outcomes after laparoscopic versus open surgery for advanced gastric cancer
Authors: Zhang Wei , Huang Zhangkan , Zhang Jianwei , Che Xu 
Published: May 2021

Background:
The efficacy of laparoscopy for advanced gastric cancer (AGC) remains controversial.

Materials and Methods:
We conducted a literature search on the EMBASE, PubMed and Cochrane Library databases to identify relevant available articles published between the time of the databases’ inception and July 2020.

Results:
A total of 14,689 patients were included in the 41 studies identified. A total of 6976 patients were in an laparoscopic approach group (LG) and 7713 patients were in an open approach group (OG). The meta-analysis showed that in randomized control trials (RCTs), LG were better than OG in terms of estimated blood loss, time to oral intake and time to first flatus while the operation time and proximal resection margin (PRM) were significantly worse in LG than in OG. In the non-RCTs, LG had shorter hospital stays, less blood loss, less intraoperative transfusion, less time to oral intake, time to first flatus, time to ambulation; less overall or serious complications; and better 3-year and 5-year overall or disease-free survival (DFS). Operation times and PRM were significantly worse for LGs.

Conclusion:
The safety and effectiveness of laparoscopic surgery for AGC is not inferior to that of traditional open surgery, and to a certain extent, can reduce trauma, facilitate recovery, and be validated in RCTs and non-RCTs. In the real-world cohort, laparoscopic surgery for gastric cancer achieved a better survival rate and DFS rate. However, to evaluate the efficacy of these two methods more comprehensively, high-quality randomized controlled trials and longer follow-up times are still needed.
Exploring Cypriot Pharmacists’ Perceptions about their Role in Cardiovascular Disease Prevention
Authors: Charalampous Periklis , Peletidi Aliki 
Published: May 2021

Objective:
The age-standardized prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) among the Cypriot population in 2017 was estimated to be 5552 per 100,000. Therefore, the CVD prevention in Cyprus is of paramount importance. Pharmacists are one of the most accessible health-care professionals (HCPs) and the first port of call for the public. In Cyprus, there are 55.59 pharmacies per 100,000 inhabitants. Therefore, the role of Cypriot pharmacists (CPs) in primary CVD prevention is essential. This study aimed to explore both the existing and potential future roles of CPs in CVD prevention.

Methods:
A descriptive qualitative study employing structured interviews (SIs) was conducted. Initially, the CPs were identified through a list provided by the Cypriot Pharmaceutical Services. The researcher(s) then contacted CPs by telephone. Face-to-face interviews were scheduled based on the CP's availability. In total, 21 SIs were transcribed verbatim, coded, and analyzed thematically. SIs continued until data saturation was achieved.

Findings:
The findings are reported under the themes of pharmacists' knowledge and role, resources/tools available and training, communication and relations, and barriers. CPs expressed the need for training, and they are ready to have a more proactive role within the primary health care. The main barrier identified was the lack of responsiveness of the public and the lack of CP's time.

Conclusion:
CPs have the potential to actively participate in CVD prevention in Cyprus. CPs want to start offering primary CVD health services, with the smoking cessation being the first intervention.
Clinical Characteristics, Medication Prescription Pattern, and Treatment Outcomes at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of a Tertiary Health-Care Facility in Ghana
Authors: Opare-Asamoah Kwame , Koffuor George Asumeng , Abdul-Mumin Alhassan , Sulemana Baba Mohammed , Saeed Majeed , Quaye Lawrence 
Published: May 2021

Objective:
Neonates are more susceptible to infections, as well as medication toxicities. This study, therefore, sought to describe the clinical characteristics, medication prescription pattern, and treatment outcomes for neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of a tertiary health-care facility in Ghana.

Methods:
A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted to ascertain clinical records, conditions for admission, spectrum of medications prescribed, and treatment outcomes from neonatal patient folders.

Findings:
Of 667 folders reviewed (51.4% males and 48.6% female), 61.8% were preterm (mean gestational age: 34.2 ± 3.6 weeks), 64.6% had low birth weight (LBW) (mean birth weight: 2.1 ± 0.9 kg), 90.6% were delivered through spontaneous vaginal delivery, and 57.4% delivered at the tertiary health-care facility. Of the 667 neonates, 70%, 27.1%, and 2.9% were queried with one, two, or three medical conditions, respectively. Respiratory distress, preterm, and pyrexia were common single queried conditions (88.5%). LBW, hypothermia, and single queried medical conditions were associated (P ≤ 0.0001) with preterm male neonates. The mean duration of stay of preterm neonates was 3.5 ± 3.2 days (term babies: 1–2 days [P = 0.0085]). Of 1,565 medications prescribed to the 667 neonates, 67.5% were antibacterial, with gentamicin (53.0%) being the most prescribed. 98.4% of neonates were prescribed at least one medication (i.e., 67.5% were prescribed antibacterial medications, 14.6% supplements, 11.0% bronchodilators, and 7.0% antiseizure); mean medication combination 2.6 ± 0.8 per neonate. Majority (75.4%) of the cases reviewed had treatment success.

Conclusion:
Respiratory distress and preterm deliveries are predominant presenting conditions, with antibacterial medication, mainly gentamicin and ampicillin, on prescription. Treatment success is significantly high at the NICU.
Statin Type and Cancer Outcomes in Patients with Diabetes Type 2 and Solid Tumors
Authors: Ceacareanu Alice C. , Jolly Shanria D. , Nimako George K. , Wintrob Zachary A. P. 
Published: May 2021

Objective:
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) affects 10% of Americans and is associated with an increased incidence of cancer. Statins are first-line cholesterol-lowering medications in the treatment of hyperlipidemia. Several studies have demonstrated a relationship between statin use and reduced cancer incidence. We examined the cancer benefits of statin subtypes, with specific attention to disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS).

Methods:
This retrospective review included adults with T2DM diagnosed with solid tumors at Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, NY, USA (2003–2010). Individuals with gestational diabetes, incomplete records, or diagnosed with rare solid tumors were excluded. Follow-up began at the date of diagnosis and ended with the first confirmed recurrence, death, or loss of contact. Demographics were assessed by Chi-square, Kaplan–Meier survival analyses, and Cox proportional hazards regression.

Findings:
Overall, 1102 patients met inclusion criteria, 52.1% of the study participants were female, and 578 participants (52.5%) died during the follow-up period which ranged from 0 to 156 months. Hydrophilic statin use was associated with improved DFS at 5-year follow-up (41.0% vs. 36.9%, P = 0.0077) compared to lipophilic statin use. Multivariate regression revealed that hydrophilic statins were associated with improved DFS (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.706, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.526–0.947) and OS (HR: 0.685, 95% CI: 0.503–0.934). Pravastatin was associated with improved OS (HR: 0.674, 95% CI: 0.471–0.964).

Conclusion:
In patients with T2DM and cancer, hydrophilic statins, and pravastatin in particular, are associated with improved DFS as well as OS. Further research examining the cancer-specific effects of hydrophilic and lipophilic statins is needed to better understand their beneficial effects.
Economic Evaluation of Three Hormonal Preparations in Artificial Propagation of Heterobranchus longifilis (Valenciennes, 1840)
Authors: Asangusung P.S , Uka A , Otoh A 
Published: May 2021

The economic evaluation of three hormonal preparations: ovaprim, ovulin and carp pituitary extract (C.P.E) in artificial propagation of Heterobranchus longifilis was investigated. A total of twelve brood fishes (nine females and three males) of eighteen months old were used for the experiment. The females were divided into three groups. Each group was induced to spawn with each of the hormones. Pooled sperm from the three males were used to fertilize the eggs obtained from the females. Effects of the hormones on the fecundity was investigated to help address the economic values. The results showed that the cost of inducing 1.20kg female to yield 42.83g, 57.60g, and 35.10g of eggs were ₦480.39, ₦225.00 and ₦175.00, for C.P.E, ovaprim and ovulin respectively. Profitability index for ovaprim, ovulin, and C.P.E was 5.58, 3.44, and 3.92, respectively. Indicating that, cost of production accounted <20% for Ovaprim and <30% for both ovulin and C.P.E of the total variable cost. The production was more profitable with ovaprim than ovulin and C.P.E. The study has provided data, comparing the effectiveness of the hormones, revealing that the three hormones can be used for artificial propagation of H. longifilis with varied degree of economic implication. However, ovaprim is highly recommended to hatchery users for optimum performance.
Keywords: H. longifilis, ovaprim, ovulin, C.P.E and economic evaluation.
