Abstract
Peripheral nerve sheath tumors (PNSTs) comprise a heterogeneous group of neoplasms originating from the elements of the nerve sheath. They are divided into two forms: benign and malignant PNST. Both benign and malignant PNSTs are not very common in domestic animals but they are reported in different animal species. Histologically, PNSTs are composed predominantly of spindle cells arranged in bundles, whorls and sheets, with a different number of pleomorphic cells and mitotic figures.
The aim of this study was a reclassification of 17 dog tumor samples initially diagnosed with peripheral nerve sheath tumors using histopathological analysis. The main criterion for reclassification was immunohistochemical positivity for various antigens.
PNSTs are often histologically very similar to other spindle cell tumors and immunohistochemistry is required for differential diagnosis. PNSTs generally express vimentin, S-100 protein, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), collagen IV and laminin.
Four tumor samples were positive to muscular marker α-SMA and vimentin and negative for S-100 protein and desmin. The spindle cells whirling around some blood vessels were observed in these tumors so they were reclassified as perivascular wall tumors (PWTs). The other 13 tumors were S-100 protein and vimentin positive and α-SMA and desmin negative, thus classified as PNST.
The use of the immunohistochemical panel is necessary for distinguishing PNSTs from PWTs in routine diagnostics.
Effect of Fermentation on Structural Characteristics and Bioactive Compounds of Bee-Pollen Based Food
Authors: Zuluaga-Dominguez Carlos M. , Quicazan Marta 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
Bee-pollen is a product of the hive which has had a growth in consumption in recent years due to the recognition of its nutritional and bioactive potential. However, several reports have shown that the external structure of the grain limits the absorption of nutrients in the human gastrointestinal tract. A structural modification could be achieved through fermentative processes, favoring the release of compounds found inside this food, in addition to obtaining a product with potential probiotic characteristics. The objective of this work was to evaluate how fermentation through the inclusion of yeasts of the species Saccharomyces cerevisiae, bacteria of species Lactobacillus plantarum or a commercial culture Choozit® affeccted such parameters as Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), phenolic compounds, flavonoids and antioxidant activity. The results found that the use of consortia between yeast and lactic acid bacteria significantly increased in such characteristics as total phenolics and antioxidant activity by 31% and 39% respectively. The analysis by DSC showed an increase in the heat flow of the fermented products compared to fresh bee-pollen, which could indicate structural modification caused by the activity of microorganisms, a fact made visible through micrographs obtained by Scanning Electron Microscopy.
Engendering High Performing Employees through Business Analytics, Organisational Social Capital Building (OSCB) and Employee Engagement: A Theoretical Review

Published: September 2019

Abstract
Contemporary HR entails the use, and the combination of modified HR practices and functions to ensure the integration of individual trust with organizational trust leading to accumulating and harnessing employee commitment, identification, and spirit of collectivism that are necessary for the achievement of organizational outcomes. Intensified discussions about the ever-increasing role HR practitioners have to play in harnessing, the inherent, capital in human social interactions provided the stimulus and inspiration for this research paper. More so, as contemporary HR, requires the bringing forth of a highly engaged organization workforce, sustainably. This paper approaches its aim in three strands: first, the paper explores the, hitherto unknown, symbiotic relationship that exists between business analytics (BA), organisational social capital (OSC), employee engagement (EE) and high performing employees (HPE). Secondly, it examines the causal role of BA in organisations social capital building (OSCB) initiatives; the multiplier effect of OSCB on EE and consequently high performing employees. Thirdly, this paper, theoretically, identified the specific area of BA that has a direct impact on OSCB, EE, and HPE, and suggest practical implications of how BA can enhance organisation performance via OSCB and EE. The paper employs literature-based analyses, and from these conceptual, theoretical and practical arguments are established.
Linguistic Awareness and Knowledge among Prospective English Teachers in Kuwait: Implications in Inclusive Classrooms
Authors: Almusawi Hashemiah , BinAli Sumaya , Alqallaf Bader 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
The study explored the knowledge of Kuwaiti prospective teachers in linguistic constructs related to English literacy coaching in developmentally, linguistically and culturally inclusive classrooms. A total of 150 prospective teachers were assessed using an online questionnaire based on a widely used survey instrument. A deficit of explicit knowledge was observed in the phonological, morphological and orthographic awareness constructs, with a marginally improved performance in the knowledge of teaching instruction. These results, in conjunction with the lack of correlation between performance levels and completed credit hours, suggest that no significant gains in knowledge are made throughout the core curriculum modules of English teaching preparation. The findings reveal the necessity of greater attention towards language content and materials presented to prospective teachers, enabling better decisions on the optimal literacy instruction practices for children with differing abilities in inclusive classrooms in Kuwait.
Post-War Religious Violence, Counter-State Response and Religious Harmony in Sri Lanka
Authors: Yusoff Mohammad Agus , Sarjoon Athambawa 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
Sri Lankan military forces and government authorities have succeeded to counter measure terrorism by defeating the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). However, their initiatives and efforts to restore peace and harmony among different ethno-religious groups in the post-war context are highly complex. The additional space given to the reemergence of radical religious groups has negatively influenced the process of fostering religious tolerance and harmony, which have been maintained for centuries in the country. Ethno-religious minorities became the major targets of religious hatred and violent attacks. At both the societal and political platforms, majoritarian religious sentiments and discourse have established a dominant presence in opposing the existence and practice of the religious fundamentals of minorities. This study has attempted to investigate the nature and impact of majoritarian religious violence in post-war Sri Lanka, as well as the efforts made by the government authorities to control them in order to foster religious tolerance and harmony in the country. This study argues that religious violence under the shadow of religious nationalism has been promoted by many forces as a mechanism by which to consolidate a majoritarian ethno-religious hegemony in the absence of competing ethnic-groups context in post-war Sri Lanka. In many ways, state apparatuses have failed to control religious violence, maintain religious tolerance and inter-religious harmony, particularly of accommodating minorities in nature. The study concludes that the continuous promotion of majoritarian religious hegemony through anti-minority religious hatred and violence would further promote religious intolerance and radicalism challenging the establishment of religious harmony in the country.
Identification the Presence of Clade 2.3.2.1c-Avian Influenza H5N1, a Highly Pathogenic Virus in Iraq, 2018

Published: September 2019

Abstract
For the first time in Iraq, we identified in March, 2018 the presence of a highly virulent avian influenza virus (AIV), H5N1 (Clade 2.3.2.1c), causing highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in poultry farms, Iraq,. The identification of the virus was done using a rapid serological test, a real time-qPCR, and glycoprotein gene sequencing. Using sequencing and phylogenetic analyses, the clade 2.3.2.1c virus was recorded to be clustered, with high similarity to Asian and West African AIV, HPAI H5N1 from Ivory Coast identified in 2015. According to our knowledge, there was no previous detection of the clade 2.3.2.1c made in Iraq. Our results provide evidence that high risk of HPAI H5 outbreaks might be present in Iraq, and this needs to lead to high quality surveillance targeting of wild and domestic birds for early diagnosis of HPAI. The current work provides feasible and accurate approaches for understanding the evolution of HPAI H5 virus in different countries around the world.
On Writer’s Block: The Reflection of Lacanian Post-Structuralist Psychoanalysis in Paul Auster’s Oracle Night
Authors: Buday Maroš 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
This paper deals with the reflection of Lacanian post-structuralist psychoanalysis in Paul Auster’s novel Oracle Night, with respect to the phenomenon of writer’s block. The paper argues that Auster’s novel is remarkably synchronized with the theoretical perspectives proposed by the noted psychoanalyst, Jacques Lacan, as the root of his protagonist’s inability to write is linked to the medium of written discourse, and the obstacles which the protagonist of his story faces are thus put within the confines of the protagonist’s psyche. Writer’s block is thus being examined with respect to the Lacanian concept known as the chain of signification, as it is much more noticeable in writers because their primary conduit for describing the exterior and interior world is discourse in its written form. Auster exceptionally mirrors Lacan’s view of a writer’s psyche and vividly explores the foundation of the inability to write with respect to the symbolic realm of human experience.

Published: September 2019

Abstract

Background
To perform a radiomics analysis in local recurrence (LR) surveillance of limb soft tissue sarcoma (STS)

Patients and methods
This is a sub-study of a prospective multicenter study with Institutional Review Board approval supported by ESSR (European Society of Musculoskeletal Radiology). radiomics analysis was done on fast spin echo axial T1w, T2w fat saturated and post-contrast T1w (T1wGd) 1.5T MRI images of consecutively recruited patients between March 2016 and September 2018.

Results
N = 11 adult patients (6 men and 5 women; mean age 57.8 ± 17.8) underwent MRI to exclude STS LR: a total of 33 follow-up events were evaluated. A total of 198 data-sets per patients of both pathological and normal tissue were analyzed. Four radiomics features were significantly correlated to tumor size (p < 0.02) and four radiomics features were correlated with grading (p < 0.05). ROC analysis showed an AUC between 0.71 (95%CI: 0.55–0.87) for T1w and 0.96 (95%CI: 0.87–1.00) for post-contrast T1w.

Conclusions
radiomics features allow to differentiate normal tissue from pathological tissue in MRI surveillance of local recurrence of STS. radiomics in STS evaluation is useful not only for detection purposes but also for lesion characterization.

Aim:
The aim was to compare the career prospects among medical and dental residents in a private institution in Thodupuzha, Kerala.

Materials and Methods:
The study included a total of 60 medical residents and 52 dental residents and was carried out using a self-administered questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and Chi-square test were performed for statistical analysis. P < 0.05 is considered to be statistically significant.

Results:
In medical profession, it was found that majority (71%) of the residents were satisfied with their career. In dental category, 88% wished for medical sector, whereas in medical category, 60% would opt for engineering. It was reported that poor pay scale among 54% of the medical category and 59% of dental residents suggested less job in the market was the reason for dissatisfaction. Majority (73%) in medical residents and a very minimal (23%) of the dental residents would recommend the own profession to the fellow colleagues (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:
The dental residents were found to be dissatisfied with their career compared with medical graduates. Better job perspectives and better placements need to be created. Endorsement of effective policies is required.
O turismo na cidade do Rio de Janeiro : história e humor nas revistas ilustradas da década de 1920
Authors: Borges Vera Lúcia Bogéa , Bellagamba Crissy Folhadella Barbosa 
Published: September 2019

Este estudo toma como ponto de partida a análise das notícias sobre o turismo e os turistas na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, na década de 1920, veiculadas nas revistas ilustradas (Careta e Fon-Fon). Em função dos avanços e dos desafios para consolidar a então capital federal como um local turístico, gradativamente, as charges publicadas nesses periódicos cariocas constituíam-se em importante fonte de crítica a esse processo. Assim, mediado pelo elemento do humor, as charges informavam ao leitor, por intermédio de personagens que representavam os atores sociais (autoridades, representantes ligados ao turismo, cariocas, turistas) e refletiam de forma crítica sobre a construção turística do Rio de Janeiro.
Oposição entre as Lutas anticapitalista e antirracista:
Authors: Martins Tereza Cristina Santos 
Published: September 2019

Objetiva oferecer elementos que permitam compreender que a oposição entre a luta anticapitalista e antirracista está associada à armadilha das análises sem o mergulho na formação social concreta. A análise da formação social brasileira possibilita apreender uma questão étnico-racial forjada no mesmo processo de constituição das relações capitalistas no Brasil. Essa apreensão é fundante no entendimento de que as bandeiras da luta étnico-racial no país não estão em campos opostos dos da luta de classes como as análises fazem parecer. A luta antirracista no Brasil foi/é a expressão de um lugar do/a negro/a determinado pelo racismo: à margem da cidadania regulada e dos processos organizativos a que são vinculadas as respostas do Estado à “questão social”. Esse entendimento é fulcral na compreensão de suas organizações e das bandeiras de luta que defendem e, consequentemente, na apreensão de pistas para afirmar a viabilidade de construção unificada de alternativas comuns de luta.

Published: September 2019

Objetivou-se avaliar o efeito de aplicações foliares de nitrogênio e boro a partir do florescimento sobre o crescimento e produção do algodão colorido. O experimento foi instalado em ambiente protegido no Centro de Ciências Agrárias da Universidade Federal da Paraíba no município de Areia, Paraíba, Brasil. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado com três repetições. Foram avaliadas quatro épocas de aplicação de adubo foliar (inicio do florescimento [antese], 3, 5, e 7 semanas após o florescimento), e três tipos de adubação foliar (nitrogenada, boratada e nitrogenada-boratada), distribuídos em esquema fatorial 4×3+1 (testemunha). As aplicações foliares foram realizadas com atomizadores tendo como fonte o nitrato de amônio e ácido bórico. As características avaliadas foram: altura de planta, altura de inserção do primeiro capulho, diâmetro do caule, número de folhas, número de capulhos, número de sementes, produtividade de fibras, massa de sementes e massa de 1000 sementes. Concluiu-se que a adubação foliar nitrogenada, boratada e sua interação nas concentrações utilizadas não promovem efeito sobre as características de crescimento do algodão colorido. A produtividade de fibras do algodão colorido não é influenciada pelas adubações foliares utilizadas. O aumento das frequências de pulverizações foliares provoca redução no número de capulhos do algodão colorido.

O trabalho analisou o potencial alelopático de extratos aquosos de Eucalyptus urophylla S.T. Blake x Eucalyptus tereticornis Sm., sobre sementes de Lactuca sativa L. O experimento foi realizado sob condições higrotérmicas controladas, tendo como substrato o papel germitest® umedecido com água destilada e os extratos em concentrações de 25%, 50%, 75% e 100%. Foram depositadas 25 sementes distribuídas uniformemente em caixas gerbox® com cinco repetições, em delineamento inteiramente casualizado, a avaliação ocorreu no mesmo horário durante 10 dias. Os dados foram submetidos à análise de variância e as médias comparadas pelo teste Tukey com 5% de erro. Foi observada a taxa de germinação (%G), índice de velocidade de germinação (IVG), tempo médio (TM, em dias) e velocidade média (VM, em dia-1). O extrato aquoso de folha em todas as concentrações afetou a %G e IVG, e as maiores influenciaram a VM e o TM. No extrato de fruto e casca houve redução na %G nas duas maiores concentrações, já o TM e VM não diferiram. O IVG não apresentou diferença significativa no extrato de casca, mas no de fruto houve influência nas concentrações de 75% e 100%. Assim, a depender da concentração, o eucalipto apresenta potencial alelopático sobre a alface.

Authors: Gorbanev S. A. , Syurin S. A. , Frolova N. M. 
Published: September 2019

Introduction.Due to the impact of adverse working conditions and climate, workers in coal-mining enterprises in the Arctic are at increased risk of occupational diseases (OD).The aim of the studywas to study the working conditions, causes, structure and prevalence of occupational diseases in miners of coal mines in the Arctic.Materials and methods.Th e data of social and hygienic monitoring “Working conditions and occupational morbidity” of the population of Vorkuta and Chukotka Autonomous District in 2007–2017 are studied.Results.It was established that in 2007–2017 years, 2,296 ODs were diagnosed for the first time in 1851 coal mines, mainly in the drifters, clearing face miners, repairmen and machinists of mining excavating machines. Most often, the ODs occurred when exposed to the severity of labor, fibrogenic aerosols and hand-arm vibration. The development of professional pathology in 98% of cases was due to design flaws of machines and mechanisms, as well as imperfections of workplaces and technological processes. Diseases of the musculoskeletal system (36.2%), respiratory organs (28.9%) and nervous system (22.5%) prevailed in the structure of professional pathology of miners of coal mines. Among the three most common nosological forms of OD were radiculopathy (32.1%), chronic bronchitis (27.7%) and mono-polyneuropathy (15.4%). In 2017, coal miners in the Arctic had a professional morbidity rate of 2.82 times higher than the national rates for coal mining.Conclusions.To preserve the health of miners of coal mining enterprises, technical measures to improve working conditions andmedical interventions aimed at increasing the body’s resistance to the effects of harmful production and climatic factors are necessary.
