Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate safety and efficacy of oral hypoglycemic agents in obese Type-2 diabetic patients. The objectives are to compare fasting and postprandial blood sugar (PPBS) levels, to compare body mass index (BMI) in all the groups, and to identify glycosylated hemoglobin levels and adverse drug reactions (if present) in all the groups.Method: This is a prospective observational study conducted in care diabetic center over a period of 1 year. All the patients those are receiving only oral hypoglycemic agents continuously over a period of 3 months and BMI ≥30 were enrolled. The patients receiving insulin were excluded. Patients were followed over a period of 3 months and were reviewed on visit basis (every 30 days). All the necessary information was collected into the data collection form that includes demographic details (age, gender, etc.), past medication history, current treatment charts, and their relevant laboratory reports (fasting blood sugar levels [mg/dl], PPBS levels [mg/dl], glycosylated hemoglobin A1c [HbA1c] (%), and BMI [kg/m2]). Results: A total of 395 patients were recruited into the study and the drugs received by the population were found to be metformin+sulfonylureas (33%), metformin+pioglitazone (26%), and metformin+dipeptidyl peptidase inhibitors (DPI) (23%). A significant reduction in HbA1c was seen in all groups of patients. Adverse drug reactions observed were hypoglycemia, pedal edema, and itching distributed to drugs metformin+DPI, respectively. A significant reduction in BMI was seen in patients receiving DPI and BMI was found to be increased in other groups of patients.Conclusion: Overall, three classes of drugs were found to have similar efficacy. Sulfonylureas were commonly associated with hypoglycemia when compared to other drugs and weight reduction observed in dipeptidyl peptidase inhibitors.
Sources of financial synchronism: Arbitrage theory and the promise of risk-free profit
Authors: Langenohl Andreas 
Published: June 2018

AbstractThis article argues that the temporality of the financial economy ought to be seen as radically synchronistic. ‘Synchronism’ refers to both an epistemological and practical approach that addresses finance neither with a view to the past nor to the future, but is instead focused on the moment that a financial transaction is settled (i.e., the horizon of trading). From this perspective, the article expands the scope of current social theorizing on financial markets, which is characterized by a preoccupation with the futurity of financial markets and products. It suggests that financial synchronism can be traced back to certain developments in economic theory since the so-called ‘marginalist revolution’, which enabled the transfer of a certain optics informing market theories into financial practices. On these terms, financial synchronism is interpreted as a powerful social imaginary that crucially mediates the way contemporary societies face the contingency of the future.
Creating an ownership society? Social security reform and the temporalities of libertarian rhetoric
Authors: Knewitz Simone 
Published: June 2018

AbstractFormer US president George W. Bush's idea of the United States as an ‘ownership society’ can be considered as the rhetorical apex of a conservative, libertarian push for a more market-driven restructuring of American social institutions. Reformers in the Bush administration particularly targeted Social Security, a popular American institution and signature achievement of the New Deal era, aiming to replace a system of solidarity with one of individual responsibility and partial privatization. Returning to the time of the early 2000s, this article analyzes the rhetoric of the ownership society as a libertarian utopian social vision - a future, more perfect community the United States should aspire to grow into. It argues that the political discourse on Social Security propagated by the Bush administration relied on rhetorical strategies characterized by an engagement of temporalities. On the one hand, ownership discourse invoked the nation's past achievements and traditional values secured during the American Revolution and guaranteed in the nation's founding documents. On the other hand, the administration framed the alleged urgency of the reforms by making projections about the future and using these to raise questions about the present system of Social Security provision. In this way, earlier debates over Social Security reform provide a valuable perspective on the contemporary nexus of finance and temporality.
The derivative condition, an aesthetics of resolution, and the figure of the renegade: A conversation
Authors: Nestler Gerald , Kloeckner Christian , Mueller Stefanie 
Published: June 2018

AbstractThe work of the artist and writer Gerald Nestler explores finance and its social implications since the mid-1990s. Based on his professional experience as a trader as well as on post-disciplinary research, he has developed a unique approach that brings together theory and conversation with installation, video, performance, text, and other art forms. Probing into the narrative structures of contemporary capitalism, Nestler offers a techno-political critique directly from the core of the financial markets. This interview addresses his reading of the derivative as a world-producing apparatus that shapes the experience of the present by preconfiguring the future, and that provokes a shift from representational to performative speech in the actualization of biopower based on the exploitation of volatility and leverage. In conversation with Christian Kloeckner and Stefanie Mueller, he argues for the formation of specific human/non-human alliances that directly attack algorithmic as well as socio-economic black-boxing (schemes that monopolize inherently non-scarce resources), so as to open our imagination to skills and tactics that would allow us to navigate the rich but volatile flows of social, political, and economic abundance.

Published: June 2018

Este artigo pretende analisar de que maneira acontece o merchandising nas redes sociais por meio da ação de digital influencers. O objeto de estudo é o Instagram e, principalmente, a sua nova ferramenta: os Insta Stories. Supõe-se que os atores sociais possuem um grande poder de influência e utilizam o aplicativo para publicizar marcas. Para a análise, serviram de exemplos publicações em perfis de artistas com um número expressivo de seguidores. Fez-se uma reflexão sobre ciberespaço e esfera pública, redes sociais e merchandising com o propósito de identificar as estratégias utilizadas pelos influencers em questão para formar opinião sobre determinadas marcas e, sobretudo, incentivar o consumo de produtos. Foi possível perceber que as pessoas famosas, principalmente as do meio artístico, além de praticar a autopromoção, atuam também na condição de digital influencers, promovendo marcas, ora de maneira sutil, ora mais evidente. As estratégias de merchandising baseiam-se na inter-relação das ferramentas da rede social e no carisma associado à imagem do influenciador.
Redes sociais na produção científica: uma análise da Revista ADMpg Gestão Estratégica
Authors: De Melo Flávio José , Anzilago Marcielle 
Published: June 2018

A utilização de redes sociais vem crescendo ao longo do tempo nas instituições e entre pesquisadores de diversas áreas do conhecimento. O impacto sobre a vida social e a troca de conhecimento na produção cientifica levam à integração desses atores, estreitando laços e estimulando pesquisas. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a formação de redes sociais na produção científica da Revista ADMpg Gestão Estratégica. A população da pesquisa compreendeu os artigos publicados no período entre 2010 e 2014. Os testes para verificar as ligações de redes sociais adotados neste estudo foram realizados por meio dos softwares Sociais Network Analysis - UCINET 6.531, Network Visualization Program – Netdraw 2.153, Wordlenet e Microsoft Office Excel 2010. Os resultados demonstram que as instituições com maior grau de centralidade foram: a Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná (UTFPR), a Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR), seguida pela Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná (UNIOESTE). Essas universidades ocupam papel de destaque na inter-relação e na intermediação dos autores, criando laços com outras instituições para cooperação e difusão do conhecimento. O período com maior interação dos coautores foi o ano de 2012. Entretanto, tais implicações levam a concluir que a cooperação entre os atores dessa rede expõe fracas ligações e conexões esparsas, decorrentes do restrito número de ligações e de grupos isolados de agentes.
