Bradycardia is a life-threatening arrhythmia that endangers life by compromising blood flow to the brain. During intubation, its prevention is life-saving—the benefit of atropine in preventing bradycardia before intubation is controversial in the literature. Objective: The objective of the study was to find and compare the incidence of bradycardia with and without atropine. Methods: This single-centre randomised controlled trial was conducted at a tertiary care pediatric emergency department for six months. After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, children were divided into two groups. Group 1 was given atropine before intubation, and group 2 was not. The overall incidence of bradycardia in subgroups was noted, along with the number of attempts and intubation time. Data was analysed using SPSS 26.0. Results: 86 patents were included in the study, with 43 in both groups. The mean age of the participants was 69.02+109.10 days. 48 (55.8%) were males and 38 (44.2%) were females. The incidence of bradycardia was 7% (6 Patients), with no statistically significant difference in both the groups (p-value was greater than 0.05). The number of attempts for intubation and intubation duration was also neither associated with bradycardia nor with atropine use. (p-value> 0.05).Conclusion: There is a higher incidence of bradycardia during intubation in children, with no significant difference in its occurrence with the use of atropine.

Direct pulp capping is an essential technique in endodontic therapy, where it is used to preserve the vitality and functionality of the dental pulp when it has been exposed due to caries or trauma. Objective: The study aims to find the direct pulp capping in carious exposed permanent teeth, assessing the superiority between biodentin and mineral trioxide aggregate. Methods: This randomised control trial was conducted at Sardar Begum Dental College/Hospital Peshawar from January 2023 to June 2023. Data was collected from 112 patients. A total of 112 patients with carious-exposed permanent teeth requiring direct pulp capping were included in the study. Participants in Group A underwent direct pulp capping using Biodentine, while those in Group B received direct pulp capping with MTA. Experienced endodontists performed the procedures following standardised protocols. Pre-operative and post-operative assessments included clinical examination, pulp vitality testing, and radiographic evaluation. Results: Data were collected from 112 patients according to the study's methodology. A 24-month trial period of carrier and MTA proved that they could consistently have high clinical success rates of direct pulp cap for the carious surface of the permanent tooth. In the first 6 months, Biodentine was more successful, 85%, than MTA, 78%, but similar results were presented in 12 months (80% compared to 78%). The radiographic evaluation was done for the healt of periapical healing in the dentine to MTA, which revealed no statistical differences in all the radiographic follow-up intervals. Biodentine and Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) groups across all follow-up intervals. At 6 months, Biodentine demonstrated a mean healing score of 4.2 ± 0.8, slightly higher than MTA's 4.0 ± 0.7. Conclusion: It is concluded that both Biodentine and Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) exhibit comparable effectiveness in direct pulp capping of carious-exposed permanent teeth, with high clinical success rates and favourable periapical healing outcomes observed in both groups.
Del G7 a los BRICS+: la transición del sistema mundial y el escenario geopolítico
Authors: Merino Gabriel Esteban 
Published: May 2024

La aparición de los BRICS y su desarrollo constituye uno de los hechos centrales para analizar la profunda transformación en el mapa del poder mundial y, en particular, las dimensiones política y geopolítica de la transición histórico-espacial contemporánea del sistema mundial. Su ampliación a once países a partir de la cumbre en Sudáfrica de 2023, a efectivizarse el 1 de enero de 2024, expresa el avance de los poderes emergentes en un escenario multipolar y de quiebre de la hegemonía estadounidense o angloestadounidense. El problema central de este trabajo es indagar sobre la ‘naturaleza’ y el significado de los BRICS en relación a la dimensión geopolítica de la transición histórico-espacial del sistema mundial, para analizar a partir de allí la ampliación acontecida en septiembre de 2022, en plena etapa de “Caos Sistémico”. Las ideas principales del trabajo son que los BRICS expresan un ascenso e insubordinación de la semiperiferia y potencias medias de escala continental en articulación global y que su ampliación da cuenta de la extensión de este proceso a otros territorios del Sur Global, con importantes implicancias geopolíticas: se incorporan países clave de ‘Medio Oriente’ o de la región central de Afro-eurasia de cultura musulmana (Arabia Saudita, Egipto, Emiratos Árabes Unidos e Irán), se amplía la representación africana (Egipto y Etiopía) y está invitado a sumarse Argentina, lo que fortalecería el desarrollo del polo de poder suramericano.

Published: May 2024

This study delves into the factors impacting the adoption of true and fair financial reporting during the transition to accrual accounting in Malaysian Federal Statutory Bodies (FSB). Despite administrative reforms from the 1980s to the most recent reformation, Malaysia’s public sector performance has lagged, prompting this investigation into the adoption of Malaysian Public Sector Accounting Standards (MPSAS) and accrual accounting in response to the delayed performance of Malaysia's public sector. The research was based on self-administered, Five Likert-scale questionnaires distributed to all heads of public accountants in 132 FSBs. There were 99 questionnaires returned for analysis. The final analysis used 99 usable responses, and the data was analyzed using SPSS. The results indicated significant correlations between Economic Consequences, Political Interventions, and True and Fair View reporting. Economic consequences were found to have the most significant impact on true and fair reporting, supported nuanced relationships, and political interventions. The findings of the regression analysis provided evidence for intricate associations, however, it is important to realize some constraints methods were acknowledged, such as demographic limits and the reliance on quantitative methodologies. The independent Board of Directors (BOD) and the higher-level management ensure those factors, such as the impact of Political Interventions on the reporting process under their scrutiny, as well as take proactive implementation measures to prevent the escalation of the management level from worsening. Top management can ensure that, the economic decisions made have to be thorough, as they dramatically impact reporting. The study provides valuable insights into financial reporting dynamics, suggesting avenues for future research to address identified limitations and incorporate qualitative methodologies.

Published: May 2024

Malaysia's Income Tax Act of 1967 does not impose penalties on environmentally friendly companies engaged in tax planning. The primary objective of this study is to examine the relationship between a company's environmental activities and the tax planning of publicly listed companies in Malaysia. A sample of 158 publicly listed companies from various industries except for financial institutions in Bursa Malaysia will be used. The annual report included non-financial data such as the environmental responsibility variable. The annual report was also used to collect the remaining data including tax planning, profitability, size and debt ratio. The multiple regression analysis indicates that companies actively participating in environmental initiatives are more inclined to adopt socially responsible tax practices to uphold their credibility among stakeholders. These companies reinforce their reputation as responsible corporate citizens committed to sustainability by demonstrating consistency between their environmental and tax practices. This study additionally revealed a positive relationship between larger companies and tax planning due to their greater access to resources and experience which enabled them to employ more advanced tax planning tactics. The utilization of permanent and temporary book tax differences (BTDs) as factors for tax planning presents a more sophisticated approach to evaluating corporate tax strategies as suggested by future research.

O DELFIM E O EFEITO RASHOMON
Authors: Ribeiro Lucia Maria Moutinho 
Published: May 2024

O trabalho aborda O Delfim, romance de José Cardoso Pires, publicado em 1968, sob a perspectiva do “efeito rashomon”. Este conceito advém do filme homônimo de Akira Kurosawa, que apresenta quatro versões de improváveis testemunhas de um crime, ocorrido sob o portal Rashomon. Como apoio metodológico, serve-se da definição do conceito, fornecida por Médola e Santos, no artigo intitulado “Um olhar semiótico sobre o efeito rashomon” (2021). Seguindo pistas e supostas evidências, propõe uma interpretação das mortes das personagens Maria das Mercês e Domingos e do desaparecimento de Tomás Manuel de Palma Bravo, respectivamente, marido e patrão daqueles, a partir de imagens extraídas do próprio texto e com base em Brandão (1986), Freud (1980), Jung (apud Jacobi, 1986) e Levi-Strauss (1966). Aquele recurso faculta, pois, ao leitor, como um detetive, que no texto não há, criar uma teoria própria, a partir dos relatos das demais personagens, a Dona da Pensão, o Velho Cauteleiro, o Batedor, o Regedor, juntando peças, tal como se comportam os detetives das narrativas policiais.

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most common cause of death from a single infectious agent. Tuberculosis is primarily a disease of the lungs, but it can also affect other parts of the body and cause extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB). Approximately 5 % of all cases of EPTB are tuberculous meningitis (TMB), caused by the spread of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the meninges and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). MTB is the most devastating form of tuberculosis and continues to cause high morbidity and mortality, with approximately 50 % of patients dying or suffering neurological sequelae and complications. The aim of the present study is to learn more about the etiologic, clinical and diagnostic presentation of this pathology. Case report: we present a 46-year-old male patient who reports productive cough of approximately 9 months of evolution with presence of diaphoresis, no evidence of weight loss, 15 days ago the patient reported cough accompanied by hemoptysis, reason for which he went to the nearest health center. His evolution was torpid and his tuberculosis was complicated to tuberculous meningitis where compatible signs and symptoms were evidenced, and immediate treatment was started with isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, ethambutol and later four months with isoniazid and rifampicin. Conclusions: the rapid diagnosis of MTB requires an understanding and a joint analysis of the clinical, radiological and laboratory findings of our infected and uninfected patients and the evaluation of prognoses
