Forma prezentacji informacji w sprawozdaniach finansowych a ich użyteczność – przegląd wybranych badań
Authors: Kędzior Marcin , Grabiński Konrad 
Published: July 2018

The purpose of the research was to gather and present arguments available in the subject literature which support the thesis that how financial statements are presented impacts their usefulness. The basic research method was an analysis of Polish and international literature on the subject, with the article then summarising the results of empirical studies done by other authors. In the majority of cases the problem was analysed in the context of financial statements prepared under the Polish Accounting Act, IAS/IFRS and US GAAP. The first issue addressed is the aggregation and disaggregation of items reported in financial statements. The study also examines the presentation of financial statements prepared by IASB and FASB. The analysis of the literature and the studies presented together show that the form in which financial statements are presented has a profound impact on their usefulness.
Transtorno de Ansiedade Generalizada sob a Perspectiva da Gestalt Terapia
Authors: Maffioleti Cavaler Camila , Castro Amanda 
Published: July 2018

A ansiedade é uma característica biológica do ser humano, contudo sob condições excessivas pode atingir um nível patológico e trazer prejuízos ao bem estar dos indivíduos. O presente artigo é uma revisão narrativa do transtorno de ansiedade generalizada – TAG – compreendido à partir da escola psicológica Gestalt- terapia de Frederick Perls. O estudo concentrou-se em identificar a patologia, analisar sua etiologia e conhecer os indicadores de tratamento medicamentoso. Na perspectiva da Gestalt indivíduos ansiosos que tentam controlar a natureza reguladora a sua volta, não conseguem viver a vida de forma espontânea, pois estão preocupados com possíveis acontecimentos futuros. Quanto menos perceptivo de si próprio é o indivíduo, maior será seu empenho em se manter no controle das situações. Viver no presente é por si só um ato terapêutico. O princípio da hierarquia das necessidades está constantemente operando em todos os indivíduos, para que a situação mais importante venha emergir, basta que o indivíduo esteja consciente da experiência de si mesma o tempo todo, sem tentar controlá-la. Compreender o TAG possibilita ao terapeuta auxiliar seu paciente a sair de um ciclo vicioso disfuncional de quebra no ciclo de contato.
FAIR VALUE OF NON-CURRENT ASSETS AND THE SECOND LARGEST OWNERSHIP ON AUDIT FEE
Authors: Hapsari Beriliana , Apandi R. Nelly Nur 
Published: July 2018

The use of fair value method has positive and negative impact. The positive impact of applying the fair value method is more relevant for the decision maker and shows the economic value according to the circumstances at that time. While its negative impact, can lead to manipulation and uncertainty. It takes greater effort for the auditor to assess fairness of fair non-current asset quality, resulting in increased audit fees. This study aims to determine the effect of fair value of non-current asset on the determination of audit fees and to know the multiple large shareholder moderation in the relationship between fair value of non-current asset and audit fee. Using the OLS regression, this study uses companies listed on the IDX from 2013 to 2015 with the exception of the financial sector. The result of this research indicates that fair value of non-current asset influences audit fee and this research shows that the second largest ownership can weaken the effect of fair value of non-current asset toward audit fees.

La clase magistral en la educación: artes plásticas y musicales / Lecture-style clases in Art and Music Education
Authors: Vico Prieto Antonio Félix 
Published: July 2018

Desde el comienzo del presente siglo, el sistema educativo está tratando de arrinconar la clase tradicional, que asume la idea de un profesor como único transmisor de conocimiento y un alumnado que atiende a las clases de forma pasiva, intentando sustituirla por otros métodos y estrategias educativas, que traten al alumnado como una parte activa en el proceso de aprendizaje. Las técnicas ligadas al juego o las clases invertidas aparecen como técnicas educativas novedosas y actuales, pero, en realidad, dichas formulas pedagógicas se basan en las aportaciones de pedagogos como Guy Brousseau o John Dewey. La diferencia, claro está, es que los estos métodos asumen como herramienta principal el uso de las nuevas tecnologías. Así, este trabajo propone una revisión crítica de las últimas tendencias educativas ligadas a las nuevas tecnologías, incidiendo de forma particular en cómo los educadores en arte pueden dar un paso adelante para mejorar la didáctica de las materias ligadas a la educción artística. Palabras clave: clase tradicional, nuevas tecnologías, arte, pedagogía, estrategias educativas
Re/sidir y re/sistir. Un ensayo sobre mis topofilias
Authors: Hernandez Ramírez Giselda E. 
Published: July 2018

Soy una migrante y como tal he sufrido pérdidas de mi capital social y cultural, no obstante, he desarrollado una relación con la corresidencia donde se halla mi casa, mi lugar. Vivo en La Lisa un barrio periférico de la ciudad de la Habana, Cuba, un lugar apartado y apuntalado de la geocultura capitalina, un municipio que ha creado su propio mundo sonoro contrapuntístico, donde se entretejen los cantos y toques de los negros cuando hacen sus fiestas de santos o simplemente se relajan en un fluido guaguancó, con el más subterráneo reguetón facilitado por un músico no reconocido a los choferes de los flamantes Almendrones –coches de alquiler-, con los cantos de alabanzas de los protestantes que proliferan en mi barrio. Sí, mi barrio ya lo hago mío aunque no cejo en este ir y venir de un lado a otro al margen de todo, en las intermediaciones, mi barrio canta, baila y llora porque ha desarrollado una gran resistencia cultural. El barrio como mi cuerpo que se resiste a envejecer, lucha y resiste los embates del tiempo. Este ensayo visual es el resultado de una deriva por Versalles el barrio donde habito, resido y resisto.
A clinicopathological study on cervical lymphadenopathy: an institutional experience
Authors: Gorle Vamshi Krishna , Inamdar Padmanabh 
Published: July 2018

Background: Despite advances in modern technology accurate diagnosis of cause of cervical lymphadenopathy remains a challenge. It leads to substantial morbidity to patients and sometimes even mortality. Uncertainty in diagnosis can lead to wrong diagnosis and increases cost of treatment. The objective of the study was to conduct a detailed evaluation of cervical lymphadenopathy in tertiary care set up and to enumerate the causes so that appropriate and adequate treatment can be initiated to reduce the morbidity.Methods: A prospective study was carried out on 100 patients of cervical lymphadenopathy and were evaluated clinically. Detailed history was taken of every patient followed by physical examination and appropriate investigations. This was followed by disease specific treatment and surgical intervention wherever necessary. Patient data was collected and evaluated to draw conclusions.Results: Most patients were young (between 12-40 years). Most common cause for cervical lymphadenopathy is due to non-neoplastic (82%) and less commonly from neoplastic (18 %). In non-neoplastic causes most, common cause is due to tuberculosis (51 %). In neoplastic causes, most common cause is due to lymphoma (10 %). In tubercular lymphadenitis the posterior triangle group was the most commonly involved group of cervical lymph nodes (31.3%), followed by upper jugular group (21.5%). FNAC by virtue of it being inexpensive, quick in getting the results and easy to perform, is one of the important and essential diagnostic procedure. Surgery should be to diagnostic biopsy, for treatment of abscess/sinuses and for a lymph node that do not resolve with chemotherapy and as an adjuvant to chemotherapy.Conclusions: Cervical lymphadenopathy can have varied manifestation from non-neoplastic to neoplastic condition. Proper history examination and relevant investigations and disease specific treatment can only cure the patient and improve the prognosis.

Background: Fistula-in-ano is defined as communication between anal canal or rectum to external surface. The main objectives of the study are to compare management of fistula-in-ano by “Medicated seton Vs Fistulectomy” and its outcome in term of complications and the recurrences if any.Methods: This study is a randomized controlled trial. Total 46 consecutive patients presenting to the Department of Surgery at SVNGMC Medical College Yavatmal with fistula-in-ano during the time of Sep-13 to Oct-15 were included in the study. All the patients were studied as per the proforma and treated by either medicated seton or fistulectomy.Results: It was observed that operative time required (min) in medicated seton was significantly less than fistulectomy procedure. Hospital stay (days) required was significantly more in fistulectomy procedure as compared to medicated seton. Time required for complete healing (days) was significantly more in medicated seton as compared to fistulectomy.Conclusions: It is concluded that treatment of fistula-in-ano by medicated seton is simple, easy, and safe. Medicated seton treatment is an outpatient procedure and can be done in a minor operation theatre or even at Primary Health Care level. Procedure not left with a large perineal wound and its associated morbidity.

Published: July 2018

<p class="abstract">Neonatal stridor is a serious condition which poses a challenge in diagnosis and requires immediate evaluation of the underlying etiology. Tumors of the head and neck region are among the more unusual causes of airway obstruction in the neonatal period. Amongst them, nasopharyngeal teratomas are rare entities accounting for less than 10% of all tumours. We present the rare case of a nasopharyngeal teratoma causing inspiratory stridor and critical airway obstruction in a newborn at birth. This tumour was removed successfully using novel coblation technique in a 5 day old neonate managed without even a tracheostomy. We present the challenges faced in diagnosis and surgical management of teratoma at a site with difficult access like nasopharynx in a 5 day old newborn which could be safely and successfully removed using coblation technology.</p><p class="abstract"> </p><p> </p>

Published: July 2018

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Studies on etiology of generalized vitiligo have established that it is a genetically determined, autoimmune, auto inflammatory diathesis. Polymorphism in myriad genes is associated with vitiligo and newer ones are being identified with advancement in research methods. This study enabled inheritance pattern recognition in multiplex familial cases of vitiligo and subject members to whole exome sequencing (WES) to find out the etiological gene defect in a particular family.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> 7 multiplex families with at least two cases and two healthy counterparts, spread across generations were enrolled. Demographic data, clinical history and familial data were collected for pedigree analysis and blood samples were collected for extraction of genomic DNA.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Multiple possible modes of Mendelian inheritance could be contemplated to cause disease expression in probands. Autosomal recessive pattern was observed to be the most likely amongst various possible modes, followed closely by autosomal dominant, with X-linked recessive, and X- linked dominant occurring less frequently. WES for one of the multiplex families is desirable and planned at an apex institute of genetic studies which will reveal the etiologic gene defect on conclusion of analysis.</p><p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> In this study we have used to our advantage the familial occurrence of the disease to seek for genes which occurred with a greater frequency in affected members of a family than their healthy counterparts, assuming that the same mutated gene should be universally present in all affected members across generations in the same family, enabling a better understanding of genetic predisposition in familial vitiligo. </p>

Published: July 2018

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Narrow band UVB phototherapy (NBUVB) is considered one of the most effective therapeutic modalities for patients with psoriasis. The long term side effects of narrowband UVB therapy have not been fully documented. There has been a great deal of interest in photo combination therapies that are capable of both reducing cumulative UVB doses and accelerating resolution of skin lesions. The aim of our study was to compare the efficacy and tolerability of NBUVB plus tazarotene combination therapy with NBUVB mono therapy.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> Forty patients with chronic plaque type psoriasis were taken up for the study and were randomly divided into two groups of 20 each.

A case of cutaneous leishmaniasis successfully treated with oral terbinafine in Kenya
Authors: Mawenzi Ramadhan L. 
Published: July 2018

<p>Leishmaniasis is a tropical disease of the skin and the reticuloendethelial system caused by a parasite of the genus- <em>Leishmania</em>. The disease poses significant psychosocial and public health burdens in endemic areas. Its treatment poses significant challenges considering that new treatment modalities are currently unavailable. The out-dated and toxic antimonial compounds remain the standard treatment. Nevertheless, these agents are mostly unavailable and reports of resistance to these compounds are increasing. Various drugs have therefore been used off label to treat cutaneous leishmaniasis. Terbinafine, an allylamine designed for treatment of fungal infections has been used off label in the treatment cutaneous leishmaniasis in Middle East and India. However, its potential has not been fully exploited in Kenya. This case is reported of a thirteen year old boy, a resident of a leishmaniasis endemic region in Kenya who presented with a symptomless, well demarcated plaque embedded with crusts and papules on his right cheek. Fine needle aspiration cytology revealed leishmania donovani bodies confirming a diagnosis of cutaneous leishmaniasis. He was treated with oral terbinafine 250mg daily for two consecutive months together with topical application of a combination of 10% Chrotamiton + 2% Sulphur cream applied for three consecutive months. A significant improvement evidenced by substantial flattening of the lesion, conspicuous digital image changes and general clinical improvement was noted after 3 months of follow up. This observation endorses oral terbinafine, as an efficacious management of uncomplicated cutaneous leishmaniasis. To limit scarring, an appropriate topical application can be added to oral terbinafine.</p>

Published: July 2018

Background: Overweight and obesity are major risk factors for many chronic diseases in modern societies. A retrospective follow-up study showed an advantage of weight reduction diet (WRD) to fasting therapy concerning long-term weight loss.Objective: Prospective comparison of WRD to fasting therapy concerning long-term weight loss. Methods: From 08/2007 to 02/2009 90 patients with overweight or obesity were observed with a follow-up period of 6 months, who received either a fasting therapy or a WRD in the context of naturopathic complex in-patient treatment including physical activity.Results: During the in-patient treatment the fasting patients loosed significantly more weight than the WRD patients, but regained weight during the follow-up, while the weight loss of the WRD patients persisted. 32% of the fasting and 81% of the WRD patients achieved a 5% weight loss after 6 months. Total and LDL-cholesterol were significantly more reduced, controlled eating habits, physical leisure activity and tendentially physical quality of life increased more after 6 months in the WRD group, while the systolic blood pressure declined more in the fasting patients.Conclusion: Weight loss and improvement of obesity-associated parameters were long-term significantly inferior in fasting patients compared to patients treated with a WRD. The reduced success of the fasting patients is probably caused by the minor lifestyle modification.
Crosstalk between TGF-β and WNT signalling pathways during cardiac fibrogenesis
Authors: Działo Edyta , Tkacz Karolina , Błyszczuk Przemysław 
Published: July 2018

Cardiac fibrosis is referred to as an excessive accumulation of stromal cells and extracellular matrix proteins in the myocardium. Progressive fibrosis causes stiffening of the cardiac tissue and affects conduction of electrical impulses, leading to heart failures in a broad range of cardiac conditions. At the cellular level, activation of the cardiac stromal cells and myofibroblast formation are considered as hallmarks of fibrogenesis. At the molecular level, transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) is traditionally considered as a master regulator of the profibrotic processes. More recently, the WNT signalling pathway has also been found to be implicated in the development of myocardial fibrosis. In this review, we summarize current knowledge on the involvement of TGF-β and WNT downstream molecular pathways to cardiac fibrogenesis and describe a crosstalk between these two profibrotic pathways. TGF-β and WNT ligands bind to different receptors and trigger various outputs. However, a growing body of evidence points to cross-regulation between these two pathways. It has been recognized that in cardiac pathologies TGF-β activates WNT/β-catenin signalling, which in turn stabilizes the TGF-β/Smad response. Furthermore both, the non-canonical TGF-β and non-canonical WNT signalling pathways, activate the same mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs): the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Erk), the c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) and p38. The cross-talk between TGF-β and WNT pathways seems to play an essential role in switching on the genetic machinery initiating profibrotic changes in the heart. Better understanding of these mechanisms will open new opportunities for development of targeted therapeutic approaches against cardiac fibrosis in the future.
