Authors: Mazumder Md Wahiduzzaman , Karim ASM Bazlul , Begum Nazma , Md Nurullah - , Karmoker Lina Florance 
Published: June 2021

The association of Wilson’s disease (WD) with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) has rarely been documented. The difficulties in differential diagnosis of WD and AIH have seen specially in the paediatric population. Children with WD specially in younger ones, may have clinical features indistinguishable from autoimmune hepatitis. We report a case of 8-year old girl child who presented with jaundice, anaemia, leg oedema and arthritis. Ultimately the patient was diagnosed as a case of WD with AIH after meticulous investigation. Treatment was started with prednisolone, d-penicillamine and subsequently prednisolone was tapered with addition of azathioprine. D-penicillamine was stopped, with clinical and biochemical improvement and zinc was added to continue life-long. Follow up after 8 months of initial treatment she was non anaemic and non-icteric. Her leg oedema and arthritis also subsided. Liver biochemistry returned to normal level. It is important therefore to recommend strongly a thorough screening for AIH in patients with initial diagnosis of WD and also screening for WD for patients presenting with AIH. So a combined therapy may be of early benefit.

Published: June 2021

The new original method for the synthesis of bimetal-carbon nanocomposites of copper and cobalt (CuCo@C) of various compositions using synthetic humic acid as a carbon source has been developed. The technique includes the synthesis of humates of copper and cobalt, preparation of their mixture and its pyrolysis in a hydrogen atmosphere. For characterize the final product, the methods of diffraction, cyclic voltammetry, and scanning electron microscopy were used. Comparison of diffractograms of bimetal nanocomposites shown two systems of reflexes from fcc structures, which correspond to metallic copper and cobalt. Diffractometric measurements also indicate the amorphous nature of the carbon matrix. Carrying out the pyrolysis of the metal humates in the reducing atmosphere afford remove almost completely the contained oxygen from the final product, partly in the form of CO2, partly in the form of water. Ions of the transition metal in these conditions are reduced to the metal atoms, forming nanoparticles surrounded by carbon. The formation of a carbon matrix metal around nanoparticles, on the one hand, can ensure their high thermal stability, and on the other hand, contributes to the stabilization of metal nanoparticles and prevents their aggregation. The size of cobalt nanoparticles in nanocomposites varies from 35 to 54 nm, and copper nanoparticles - from 56 to 88 nm, depending on the ratio used in the synthesis of metal humates. It was found that nanoparticles of an alloy of these metals (alpha-cobalt phase) are formed in nanocomposites containing 20% ​​copper and 80% cobalt. Cyclic voltammogrames of bimetallic nanocomposites indicate the presence of dead pores in their composition. It has been established by scanning electron microscopy that in the case of an excess amount of copper in the nanocomposites, spherical formations about 1000 nm in size with faceting signs are formed. As part of the «bottom up» concept proposed a three-stage model of formation.

Authors: ARSLANOĞLU Ali , ANKARA Hasan Giray 
Published: May 2021

Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the impact of human values on ethical climate. The study also explores the factors affecting either human values or ethical climate.Methods: The study exploited the data of the staff in a private hospital operating in Istanbul. Accordingly, the data of 178 individuals was obtained in four weeks period starting from March 2019. Human values were measured by Human Values Scale which was validated by Dilmaç (2007). Ethical climate was measured by Ethical Climate Scale which was introduced by Schwepker (2001) and validated by Eren and Hayatoğlu (2011). The study employed one-way variance analyses and Kruskal Wallis tests to understand the variations in human values and ethical climate perception upon socioeconomic factors. Additionally, ordinary least square regression was performed to identify the effect of human values on ethical climate perception.Results: It was found that better human values were associated with increasing perceptions of ethical climate. Further, the number of children, age and the length of service had considerable impacts on both human values and the perception of ethical climate. Finally, marital status and educational status did not have any significant impacts on human values and ethical climate.Conclusion: It was identified that the people with better human values were more careful about ethical rules. The findings are important to understand the motivations of ethical climate in a competitive atmosphere. It is believed that further studies investigating ethical climates in public and private organisations comparatively will contribute to the literature.

Published: May 2021

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the correlation of carotid artery calcifications (CACs) and pulp stones with idiopathic osteosclerosis (IO) using digital panoramic radiographs (DPRs) to determine whether pulp stones or IO might be possible indicators of the presence of CACs.Methods: In total, DPRs of 1207 patients (645 females and 562 males) taken within 2018 were retrospectively evaluated to determine the prevalence of CACs, pulp stones and IO according to age and sex. Statistical analysis was performed using chi-square test and Fisher’s exact chisquare test.Results: In total, 287 (23.8%) patients had at least one pulp stone, and 64 (5.3%) patients had CACs. The negative/negative (-/-) status of CACs/ pulp stones was significantly higher in the 18–29 years age group than in the 30–39, 40–49, 50–59 and ≥60 years age groups (p&lt;0.05). It was also significantly higher in males than females (p&lt;0.05). Sixteen (1.3%) patients had IO, which was related to right mandibular molars in all cases. Patients with CACs had a significantly higher prevalence of IO (6.3%) than those without CACs (1%) (p&lt;0.05). There was no statistically significant association between pulp stones and the presence of IO and CACs (p&gt;0.05).Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, pulp stones were not found to be diagnostic indicators of CACs. However, the presence of IO might be a risk factor for CACs.

Authors: KESER Gaye , NAMDAR PEKİNER Filiz 
Published: May 2021

Candida infections are acute and / or chronic infections of the skin, mucosa, internal organs and systems which may be seen at any age. The purpose of this study is to present diagnostic and therapeutic approach for patients who applied to our clinic with the diagnosis of pseudomembranous candidiasis. Both patients who referred to our clinic were using inhaler due to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Intraoral examination revealed pseudomembranous candidiasis localized on both the border of soft palate and through pharynx of a 60 year-old female patient and on the midline of hard palate of a 70-year-old male patient. Cultures were taken for mycological evaluation of the patients after clinical examination. Antifungal treatment was administered to both patients for 10 days. Healing was observed as a result of the treatment. No recurrence was observed at monthly follow-up assessments performed for patients. In cases of oral candidiasis, antifungal agents should be used locally in the form of suspension or pomade, evaluation of mycological culture should be performed to support clinical diagnosis and the etiological factors that may cause the disease should be studied.

Objective: Treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) usually involves medical therapy. For this reason, it is recommended to seek alternative treatment methods such as nutritional therapy. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effects of probiotics and omega-3 fatty acids on total oxidant and total antioxidant levels in an experimental colitis model.Methods: Mice were randomly divided into five groups (n= 10/group) as healthy group, colitis group, group treated with probiotics (VSL#3), group treated with omega-3 (w-3), and group treated with both probiotics and omega-3. To induce experimental colitis, 200 mg/kg dinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (DNBS) + 30% ethanol combination was rectally administered to anesthetized mice. Total oxidant (TOS) and total antioxidant (TAS) levels were measured at the tissue level.Results: Lower concentrations of TOS were observed in the probiotics groups (2.11±0.23 mmol H2O2 Eq/L), probiotics+omega-3 (2.56±1.18 mmol H2O2 Eq/L), and omega-3 (3.02±1.88 mmol H2O2 Eq/L) groups compared to the colitis group (3.11±0.91 mmol H2O2 Eq/L) (p&gt;0.05). Higher TOS and TAS level were observed in the control colitis group compared to other groups; however, the differences were not statistically significant.Conclusion: Our findings showed that TAS and TOS levels were positively affected by the use of probiotic supplements in IBD. It was determined that using w-3 alone was ineffective in decreasing TOS levels. Studies with higher dosages and longer treatment.
Crescimento sob restrição externa: evidências empíricas para países de renda baixa no contexto do boom dos preços internacionais das commodities (2000-2014)
Authors: Batista Henrique Rogê 
Published: May 2021

Este trabalho sustenta-se sob a literatura pós-Keynesiana, a aplicação da Lei de Thirlwall Multissetorial (2007), para testar, numa amostra de 19 países de renda baixa, se o balanço de pagamentos restringe o crescimento da amostra agregada. O período selecionado para análise visa captar o momento de boom dos preços internacionais das commodities que, tendo em vista a composição da pauta exportadora por intensidade tecnológica destes países, majoritariamente de produtos primários e de baixa intensidade tecnológica, tende a beneficiar seus termos de troca. Além da validade da lei testada, os resultados indicam que os ganhos com a elevação dos preços das commodities são diluídos dado o volume importado nos setores de maior intensidade tecnológica e, inclusive, de commodities.
Minsky, Veblen e a endogeneidade das crises no capitalismo
Authors: Montani Martins Norberto , Chaves Drach Daniel 
Published: May 2021

O presente trabalho se propõe a analisar as crises a partir dos arcabouços analíticos de Minsky e Veblen. Busca-se compreender como os autores constroem suas teorias de crise como processos endógenos à dinâmica capitalista e quais os elementos principais de suas abordagens. Além disso, estabelece-se os pontos de convergência e divergência entre os dois autores, destacando que, ainda que partam de bases teóricas essencialmente distintas, as análises de Minsky e Veblen trazem uma série de elementos que possibilita o diálogo entre as abordagens. Destaca-se, dentre os elementos de convergência, a ênfase na natureza evolucionária dos processos econômicos e o papel da temporalidade e da incerteza em ambos os autores. Argumenta-se, ao final, que a análise minskyana implica um refinamento da análise das crises como fenômenos endógenos do capitalismo e que a incorporação de traços institucionalistas à sua teoria reforça essa concepção.

Published: May 2021

Esse artigo tem por objetivos: 1) avaliar os primeiros impactos da pandemia sobre a desigualdade de renda no Brasil a partir da PNAD COVID19 do IBGE; 2) apresentar as contribuições das distintas fontes de renda para a composição do ‹ndice de Gini, evidenciando seu caráter de progressividade ou regressividade para o indicador; 3) quantificar o impacto do auxílio emergencial para a evolução da desigualdade de renda nesse período; 4) mensurar, a partir de cinco cenários, o impacto de uma possível alteração nos valores do auxílio emergencial, pressupondo sua continuidade em um futuro próximo ou sua extinção completa. Os resultados apontam que as proteções sociais, permanente e emergencial, mostraram-se fundamentais para a queda da desigualdade. Mais que isso, sua extinção ou a redução dos valores base, por elas definidos, provocarão um aumento da concentração de renda.
As Falhas da Modern Monetary Theory (MMT)
Authors: Carneiro Ricardo 
Published: May 2021

A ascensão inusitada da Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) nos últimos anos, em particular após a crise financeira global de 2008, tornou-a um tema imperativo, tanto do ponto de vista acadêmico quanto no debate de políticas econômicas alternativas. A partir do reconhecimento da sua relevância, este artigo, sem a pretensão de ser exaustivo, aspira realizar uma avaliação crítica das suas principais concepções (i) teóricas, ou seja, o seu entendimento do dinheiro, e (ii) de política econômica, vale dizer, a sua proposta de financiamento do setor público e de uma economia em permanente pleno emprego. Não se busca fazer uma exegese das suas concepções e tampouco realizar análises exaustivas de um de seus aspectos, mas sobretudo, partir de sínteses pouco controversas, para examinar as possíveis consequências de suas propostas de política econômica.

Education is currently still believed to have strategic and urgent value in shaping the character of a nation, especially in relation to its main task of building the character of students. The morality crisis is a very pressing problem in modern times. The values of life eroded slowly as the saman grew. The deterioration of character is a very serious problem in education, especially in Indonesia. The low character education makes students do things that are not reasonable. The field of study of Christian Religious Education is one of the fields of study that is relied on to build and shape the personality and faith growth of students. In this case, building character does not necessarily work. Therefore, Christian Religious Education Teachers are expected to carry out their duties seriously in accordance with the goals of education and learning, namely to form and create a generation that has noble morals, is responsible, and has the character of Christ under the guidance of the Holy Spirit as a powerful person in human life.AbstrakPendidikan saat ini masih diyakini memiliki nilai strategis dan urgen dalam pembentukan karakter suatu bangsa, terutama berkaitan dengan tugas utamanya yakni pembentukan karakter peserta didik. Krisis moralitas merupakan masalah yang sangat mendesak pada zaman modern ini. Nilai-nilai kehidupan terkikis secara perlahan seiring perkembangan saman. Kemerosotan karakter menjadi salah satu masalah yang sangat serius dalam pendidikan khususnya di Indonesia. Rendahnya pendidikan karakter membuat siswa melakukan hal-hal yang tidak wajar. Bidang studi Pendidikan Agama Kristen merupakan salah satu bidang studi yang diandalkan untuk membangun dan membentuk pribadi, serta pertumbuhan iman peserta didik. Dalam hal inilah, membentuk karakter tentu tidak serta merta berhasil. Oleh karena itu, Guru Pendidikan Agama Kristen diharapkan agar melaksanakan tugasnya dengan sungguh-sungguh sesuai dengan tujuan pendidikan dan pembelajaran yakni membentuk dan menciptakan generasi yang beraklak mulia, bertanggung jawab dan memiliki karakter Kristus dibawah bimbingan Roh Kudus sebagai Pribadi yang berkuasa dalam hidup manusia.

Church leaders and believers often focus too much on their respective churches and pay less attention to the unity of the body of Christ in winning souls. There is an understanding of the basic concept of evangelism that is not properly understood in its application as a witness of Christ. Becomes an obstacle in actualizing the mandate of the Great Commission. Through descriptive qualitative methods, it can be concluded that the essence of the Great Commission and its Challenges will lead believers to maintain the spirituality of believers because with a mature and spiritually mature spirituality they can become examples and role models so that they can actualize the Mission appropriately and in line with God's will. Furthermore, the believer has the knowledge that mission is a testimony of the believer's faith. hence this missiological concept carries the same spirit when Jesus wanted believers to be light and bring the news of salvation.AbstrakPemimpin gereja dan orang percaya tidak jarang terlalu lebih fokus pada gerejanya masing-masing dan kurang memberi perhatian pada kesatuan tubuh Kristus dalam memenangkan jiwa-jiwa. Adanya pengertian konsep dasar penginjilan yang tidak dimengerti secara benar dalam penerapannya sebagai saksi Kristus. Menjadi kendala dalam mengaktualisasi mandat Amanat Agung. Melalui metode kualitatif deskritif dapat disimpulkan bahwa hakikat Amanat Agung dan tantangannya akan membawa orang percaya untuk menjaga Spritualitas orang percaya sebab dengan kerohanian yang matang dan dewasa rohani dapat menjadi contoh dan teladan sehingga dapat mengaktualisasi Misi dengan tepat dan sejalan dengan kehendak Tuhan. Selanjutnya orang percaya memiliki pengetahuan bahwa misi sebagai kesaksian Iman orang percaya. maka konsep misiologi ini membawa semangat yang sama ketika Yesus menginginkan orang percaya menjadi terang dan membawa kabar keselamatan.
