Abstract
Introduction
The aim of this study is to comprehensively evaluate the incidence and natural course of otorhinolaryngological symptoms of COVID-19 infection and its relations to each other and patient’s demographics.

Methods
This is a prospective study conducted on symptomatic adult patients proven to be infected with COVID-19. Detailed history was taken from each patient including onset of symptoms. Symptoms were followed up tightly. We focus on otorhinolaryngological (ORL) symptoms and their duration and onset in relation to other symptoms. Data were collected and analyzed in detail.

Results
Six-hundred eighty-six patients were included in the study, their age ranged from 19-75 years old, and of them 55.1% were males. Cough was found in 53.1% of cases followed by sore throat in 45.8%, anosmia/ hyposmia in 42.3%, headache in 42%, rhinorrhea in 19.5%, dry mouth in 7.6%, globus in 6.1%, epistaxis in 4.4%, and hearing loss in 0.6%. In non-ORL symptoms, fever was found in 54.2%, malaise in 55.1%, dyspnea in 49.3%, and diarrhea in 27.2%. The first symptom was anosmia in 15.7% of cases, sore throat in 6.1 %, cough in 7.9%, and headache in 13.4% of cases. Fever was the first symptom in 22.7%, malaise in 25.1%, and diarrhea in 6.4%. Headache occurred for 5.5 ± 2 days, anosmia/hyposmia 3 to > 30 days, sore throat 4.1 ± 1.2 days, rhinorrhea 4.3 ± 1.1, cough 7.4 ± 2.5 days, fever 4.7 ± 2 days, and malaise 6.5 ± 2.4 days. The cluster of COVID-19-related symptoms showed nine principal components.

Conclusion
Otorhinolaryngological symptoms are main symptoms in COVID-19 infection, and they should be frequently evaluated to detect suspected cases especially in pauci-symptomatic patients and to properly manage infected patients.

Abstract
Background
Olfaction plays an enormous role in every aspect of life including health, emotions, social life, and safety. This is why olfactory dysfunction will leave a great impact on a person’s life. During the recent pandemic hit of coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), much importance was given to olfaction and its sequelae post-COVID-19. There is various questionnaire being used for determining olfactory disorders worldwide. In Malaysia, Malay language is widely conversed among the local population hence an assessment tool for an olfactory specific quality of life is necessary.

Method
This is a cross-sectional study performed in the Otorhinolaryngology clinic in a tertiary hospital. The short Questionnaire of Olfactory Disorders-Negative Statements (sQOD-NS) is a validated questionnaire that is a simple and easy tool to assess the impact of olfactory dysfunction in daily life. The original version of the short Questionnaire of Olfactory Disorders-Negative Statements (sQOD-NS) questionnaire was translated into the Malay language. A forward-backwards translation, validity, and reliability study was done on this questionnaire. A Malay version of sQOD-NS was responded to by a total of 70 participants including 35 patients of normosia and 35 patients with smell dysfunction and repeated after 2 weeks via phone call response. The discriminant validity, internal consistency, and test re-test reliability were assessed.

Results
The pilot study revealed that participants who were normosmic had a higher mean score than smell dysfunction. A Student t test shows mean 20.5 ± 1.22 in normosmic group and 6.06 ± 2.41 in hyposmic group which are significant with p value of < 0.01. The coefficient of correlation (r) between test and retest scores was 0.77 (P < 0.001).

Conclusion
The Malay translation of sQOD-NS is a validated questionnaire that can be used both in clinical practice and in academics.
Apparatuses of Denunciation, Neoliberal Governmental Rationality, and the Potential for a Fascist Turn
Authors: Berksoy Biriz 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
This article explores the sociopolitical causes behind the proliferation of the apparatuses of denunciation in Turkey in the 2010s, and the escalation in the number of citizens denouncing their fellow citizens. These developments have taken place within an international context marked with the initiation of similar campaigns in core capitalist countries (e.g., the United States, United Kingdom) in the post-9/11 period mobilizing citizens to watch for suspicious behaviors that potentially signify “terrorist” activities. In Turkey, the Communication Center for the Office of the President, police hotlines/websites, community policing networks, neighborhood heads, the night-guard system, and legal statutes enabling denunciation are parts of these apparatuses. The article argues that the mechanisms of denunciation surfaced as part of the “security states” that emerged in the late 1990s under the dominance of neoliberal governmental rationality that encompasses components creating a fertile sociopolitical fabric both for the materialization of fascist tendencies and a preference for denunciation as a governmental technology. Accordingly, the apparatuses of denunciation in Turkey emerged at a point where the “security state” constructed by the Justice and Development Party government in its second term (2007–11) delivered a fascist turn within the context of the 2008 global financial crisis.
Oceans of Finance and Commodification
Authors: Khalili Laleh 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
In this essay Khalili surveys the maritime as a space of commodification and of creation of new financial forms and instruments. Maritime transportation made possible the colonization of the Americas, Asia, and Africa and the enslavement and transoceanic commodification of millions of humans. Since then, not just what is transported upon the deep, but the sea itself has also been commodified. The seas’ geophysical contours, their seabeds, the species of flora and fauna that inhabit them, and even the ephemeral routes on their surfaces have been transformed into commodities, ripe for exchange, speculation, and juridification.
Death and Afterlives in the Middle East
Authors: Zengin Aslı 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
This special section draws on the associations between the dead and the living, and approaches death as not something final and complete but rather as a regenerative force for afterlives. Engaging with this framework, this section addresses the following questions: How do people process death into meaning and life for their communities, subjectivities, and political projects? How do sovereign and intimate claims on bodies, and the contestation among these multiple claims, shape the meaning of death and the production of afterlives? How does the symbolic and material life around death produce and shape people's emotional, religious, communal, and political worlds, as well as political economy and regimes of mobility and securitization? How do people create and/or transgress normative boundaries of religious, familial, political, and gender subjectivities through their negotiations over dying, rituals of death, and mourning? How do death and its afterlives help us develop new tropes to think about migration, mobility, regimes of security, war on terror, belonging, intimacy, and care?
New Methods for Governing Death in Istanbul
Authors: Varlık Nükhet 
Published: June 2022

AbstractThe management of the dead underwent major transformations in early modern Istanbul, owing to rapid population growth and its consequences in the city's urban layout. Starting around the turn of the sixteenth century, the majority of the urban dead began to be buried outside the city walls in the newly emerging communal graveyards. As the physical space of the living and deceased residents of the capital gradually came to be separated, death and burial rituals started to be performed by individuals outside the immediate family or community members of the deceased. This was especially the case for those who did not have family or community ties in the city. This article examines the ritual processes by which corpses were prepared for interment, through washing, shrouding, and burial; how funerals, coffins, tombstones, and graveyards were managed; and how individuals, communities, and institutions participated therein. In particular, the author's goal is to question (1) how urban transformations led to modifications in death and burial rites; (2) how those rites became professionalized and impersonalized through the early modern period; and (3) whether these changes created new relationships between the living and the dead in the physical, mental, and emotional landscape of Istanbul.
Against Abstractions

Published: June 2022

AbstractThis article focuses on different iterations of virality to explore the racial logic of death and the crisis of our time during the coronavirus pandemic. By examining the war on the coronavirus, the sanctions on Iran, and the rise of white supremacy in the United States, this article argues that the optimistic analyses of virus and virality are predicated upon the abstraction of the human, thus overlooking race and geopolitics.
Physiological functions and roles in cancer of the proliferation marker Ki-67
Authors: Andrés-Sánchez Nuria , Fisher Daniel , Krasinska Liliana 
Published: June 2022

ABSTRACT
What do we know about Ki-67, apart from its usefulness as a cell proliferation biomarker in histopathology? Discovered in 1983, the protein and its regulation of expression and localisation throughout the cell cycle have been well characterised. However, its function and molecular mechanisms have received little attention and few answers. Although Ki-67 has long been thought to be required for cell proliferation, recent genetic studies have conclusively demonstrated that this is not the case, as loss of Ki-67 has little or no impact on cell proliferation. In contrast, Ki-67 is important for localising nucleolar material to the mitotic chromosome periphery and for structuring perinucleolar heterochromatin, and emerging data indicate that it also has critical roles in cancer development. However, its mechanisms of action have not yet been fully identified. Here, we review recent findings and propose the hypothesis that Ki-67 is involved in structuring cellular sub-compartments that assemble by liquid–liquid phase separation. At the heterochromatin boundary, this may control access of chromatin regulators, with knock-on effects on gene expression programmes. These changes allow adaptation of the cell to its environment, which, for cancer cells, is a hostile one. We discuss unresolved questions and possible avenues for future exploration.
Rapid cold hardening increases axonal Na+/K+-ATPase activity and enhances performance of a visual motion detection circuit in Locusta migratoria
Authors: Robertson R. Meldrum , Moyes Christopher D. 
Published: June 2022

ABSTRACT
Rapid cold hardening (RCH) is a type of phenotypic plasticity that delays the occurrence of chill coma in insects. Chill coma is mediated by a spreading depolarization of neurons and glia in the CNS, triggered by a failure of ion homeostasis. We used biochemical and electrophysiological approaches in the locust, Locusta migratoria, to test the hypothesis that the protection afforded by RCH is mediated by activation of the Na+/K+-ATPase (NKA) in neural tissue. RCH did not affect NKA activity measured in a biochemical assay of homogenized thoracic ganglia. However, RCH hyperpolarized the axon of a visual interneuron (DCMD) and increased the amplitude of an activity-dependent hyperpolarization (ADH) shown previously to be blocked by ouabain. RCH also improved performance of the visual circuitry presynaptic to DCMD to minimize habituation and increase excitability. We conclude that RCH enhances in situ NKA activity in the nervous system but also affects other neuronal properties that promote visual processing in locusts.
Alkane Oxidation with H2O2 Catalyzed by Dicopper Complex with 6-hpa Ligand: Mechanistic Insights as Key Features for Methane Oxidation

Published: June 2022

Abstract
Alkane oxidations with H2O2 catalyzed by copper complexes [Cu2(µ-OH)(6-hpa)]3+ (1) and [Cu(MeCN)(tpa)]2+ (2) were examined. In the oxidation of cyclohexane (CyH), cyclohexyl hydroperoxide (CyO2H) was formed as the first product and converted to cyclohexanol (CyOH) with PPh3. The turnover frequency (TOF/h) and turnover number (TON) of 1 are 150 and 1030, respectively. The kinetic studies showed that the product formation rate, d[CyO2H]/dt, is proportional to [1] and [H2O2], and partly to [Et3N] and [H2O]. Solvent kinetic isotope effect kH2O/kD2O was 2.2, showing that a H2O molecule is involved in the rate-limiting step. tert-BuO2H disturbs the formation of a di(hydroperoxo) intermediate [Cu2(O2H)2(6-hpa)]2+ to reduce the d[CyO2H]/dt. The active species [Cu2(O•)(O2•)(6-hpa)]2+ was detected by CSI MS. The inhibitory effects of a radical trap reagent DMPO and CO gas revealed that 1 suppresses the HO• formation. Methane oxidation with H2O2 catalyzed by 1, 2, and related complexes was conducted using a high-pressure reactor. Key features for the high catalytic activity of 1 in the methane oxidation are the complex-based active species [Cu2(O•)(O2•)(6-hpa)]2+ capable of cleaving the strong C-H bond of methane and the long catalyst life enabled by the suppression of the HO• formation.
The Effect of Group Identity on Hiring Decisions with Incomplete Information
Authors: Casoria Fortuna , Reuben Ernesto , Rott Christina 
Published: June 2022

We investigate the effects of group identity on hiring decisions with adverse selection problems. We run a laboratory experiment in which employers cannot observe a worker’s ability or verify the veracity of the ability the worker claims to have. We evaluate whether sharing an identity results in employers discriminating in favor of ingroup workers and whether it helps workers and employers overcome the adverse selection problem. We induce identities using the minimal group paradigm and study two settings: one in which workers cannot change their identity and one in which they can. Although sharing a common identity does not make the worker’s claims more honest, employers strongly discriminate in favor of ingroup workers when identities are fixed. Discrimination cannot be explained by employers’ beliefs and, hence, seems to be taste-based. When possible, few workers change their identity. However, the mere possibility of changing identities erodes the employers’ trust toward ingroup workers and eliminates discrimination. This paper was accepted by Yan Chen, behavioral economics and decision analysis.
MODULAÇÕES DO SOM E DO ESPAÇO NA RABECA ARMORIAL
Authors: Padilha Caio , Dozena Alessandro 
Published: June 2022

Desde a década de 1970 no Brasil, o Movimento Armorial, liderado por Ariano Suassuna, articulou em Pernambuco uma série de relações mobilizadoras da música e identidade nordestina, sertaneja e pastoril. Nesse contexto regionalista, interessa-nos pensar as sonoridades e territorialidades das rabecas que modularam no discurso performativo de certos violinistas. Além do envolvimento em criações musicais relevantes, o Quinteto Armorial, a Orquestra Romançal Brasileira e a Orquestra Armorial de Câmara ajudaram a legitimar a adjetivação “armorial” como qualificadora pertinente às expressões e objetos artísticos, características estéticas, formulações intelectuais e enunciações ideológicas na cultura. Neste artigo, os sons modais e os modos territoriais da música armorial propõem uma recontextualização sonora da rabeca brasileira desde o último quarto do séc XX. Um "violino do povo" cuja escuta teria sancionado certa territorialidade material e simbólica do “mundo sonoro” de rabequeiros alocados no tempo da tradição. A rabeca armorial se candidatava então a instrumento representativo da cultura popular no Brasil com requintes de erudição musical de violinistas de concerto. Desse modo, a dimensão tempo-espaço do som na rabeca armorial se tornava central na construção de uma escuta dos violinos brasileiros e de suas credenciais de autenticidade e originalidade - entre compositores, músicos e audiências no Movimento Armorial.

Published: June 2022

O artigo estuda se a adoção do precedente de natureza vinculante pode ajudar no desenvolvimento econômico dos países. Nesse sentido, a pesquisa tem como pano de fundo o ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, que sempre adotou o sistema da civil law, dando pouca importância aos precedentes e agora caminha para um sistema híbrido, no qual a lei e os precedentes vinculantes convivem harmonicamente, devendo ambos ser respeitados pelo juiz. Dessa forma, primeiramente, são analisados os principais fatores que a ordem jurídica de uma localidade deve ter para ser considerada atrativa para investimentos. Em segundo lugar, as expectativas que a adoção do precedente vinculante traz, como a maior previsibilidade das decisões. Outro efeito importante é uma maior celeridade das decisões judiciais, já que a solução para o caso que é submetido à análise judicial, uma vez repetidos os mesmos fundamentos jurídicos e fáticos de casos anteriormente decididos, dependerá apenas de uma operação de subsunção do magistrado. Conclui-se que se trata de um expediente válido e que contribui no desenvolvimento dos países, mas que precisa de um tempo de maturação para que seus efeitos positivos sejam produzidos.
PRESSUPOSTOS DAS MEDIDAS AUTOCOMPOSITIVAS ADEQUADAS DE SOLUÇÃO DE CONFLITOS: ACESSO EFETIVO À JUSTIÇA
Authors: Gavião Esdras Neemias Freitas , Souza Adriano Stanley Rocha 
Published: June 2022

A inclusão da audiência preliminar autocompositiva (art. 334) do Código de Processo Civil, bem como o dever de estímulo da autocomposição pelos operadores do direito (§3º, art. 3 do CPC) a transmuta em política judiciária plúrima. Dessa forma, a organização dos métodos elegíveis aos conflitos carece de sistematização enquanto medidas adequadas de solução de conflitos. O presente estudo visa analisar os pressupostos comuns a qualquer medida autocompositiva nos processos levados a função judiciária. O trabalho almeja compreender os pressupostos a se observar nos múltiplos métodos autocompositivos para se considerar uma medida (autocompositiva) adequada de solução de conflitos. O problema que se pretende responder é se a utilização atual das medidas autocompositivas obedece aos princípios constitucionais processuais do acesso à justiça. Ainda, busca-se no presente analisar o impacto da autocomposição no acervo judiciário, considerando a satisfação das partes e da administração pública em geral. Existem pressupostos comuns e aplicáveis a todos os métodos, pois, somente métodos cientificamente comprovados devem ser considerados aptos a utilização no Poder Judiciário, detendo estes das balizas do método cietífico. As medidas autocompositivas enquanto medida ampla, são relativamente recentes, e ainda compreendidas como meramente alternativas, devendo o Poder Judiciário ser cauteloso enquanto fomentador e aplicador de novos métodos, ou métodos com baixa cautela ou carentes de dados científicos. A metodologia da investigação teve um viés qualitativo e quantitativo, com objetivo exploratório, descritivo e explicativo, com método hipotético-dedutivo e técnica bibliográfica e documental, inclusive em documentos oficiais do Conselho Nacional de Justiça, relativos aos anos de 2017 a 2019.

O presente artigo busca acompanhar parte da trajetória de vida do casal José Venâncio de Carvalho e sua esposa dona Delfina Theodora de São José, quando residiam na cidade de Juiz de Fora, localizada na Zona da Mata de Minas Gerais durante a segunda metade do século XIX. Para alcançar esse objetivo, iremos analisar processos criminais, registro de compra e venda de escravo e carta de alforria envolvendo esses indivíduos. Essa documentação irá permitir compreender alguns aspectos da escravidão no Brasil oitocentista, como, por exemplo, a precarização da liberdade, o mercado interno de escravizados desenvolvido durante a segunda metade do século XIX e as relações sociais entre livres e escravos. Com isso, este estudo busca contribuir com o debate historiográfico a respeito das sociedades escravistas desenvolvidas no Brasil durante o século XIX, sobretudo na região Sudeste.

Published: June 2022

Higher requirements for monocrystalline silicon x-ray mirrors have been put forward with the development of synchrotron radiation optics. The existing processing technologies limit their efficiency while achieving high-precision manufacturing of x-ray mirrors. Hence, this paper formulates a processing strategy of employing magnetorheological finishing (MRF) to make the precision of x-ray mirrors fully meet the standard. The combination of fine polishing and super-smooth processing can effectively improve the surface quality of mirrors. The residual error, wavefront gradient, and surface roughness of the mirror can reach 7.2 nm, 0.42 µrad, and 0.28 nm, respectively, after several iterations. The research not only indicates that MRF can replace the existing manufacturing method and greatly improve processing efficiency, but also provides technical support for optimizing the processing route of x-ray mirrors.
