IMPACTOS DE QUEIMADAS SOBRE DIFERENTES TIPOS DE COBERTURA DA TERRA NO LESTE DA AMAZÔNIA LEGAL BRASILEIRA
Authors: Salazar Latorre Natalia , Aragão Luiz Eduardo Oliveira e Cruz de , Andreson Liana O. 
Published: November 2022

As queimadas na Amazônia Brasileira têm aumentado nas últimas décadas devido Ã ocorrência de anomalias climáticas e pela ação antrópica para ï¬ns de expansão da fronteira agrícola. As queimadas incrementam as emissões de carbono modiï¬cando a composição da atmosfera, gerando alterações no equilíbrio dos ecossistemas. Deste modo, é importante determinar quais as fontes de combustão para o propágulo do fogo. Nesse cenário, este estudo teve como objetivo determinar quais tipos de uso e cobertura da terra contribuem com as áreas queimadas na Amazônia oriental, estimar o impacto de uma seca intensa como 2010 nos padrões de área queimada em relação a um ano com padrão normal de precipitação como foi o ano de 2012, e ï¬nalmente quantiï¬car o conteúdo de biomassa aérea afetada pelos incêndios ocorridos em 2010. Os resultados indicaram que as coberturas com maior área queimada foram Não-Floresta, Floresta primária e Floresta secundária. Essas coberturas evidenciaram padrões de queimadas maiores no ano de 2010, com um aumento de 29,67% de áreas queimadas com relação ao ano de 2012, inï¬‚uenciadas pelas condições climáticas extremas de 2010. As coberturas de ï¬‚oresta primária e secundária apresentaram os maiores valores de carbono estocado na biomassa aérea, sendo essas classes mais a classe Não-Floresta, as unidades de cobertura com os maiores áreas impactadas pelas queimadas.

Published: November 2022

O presente trabalho avaliou o efeito do dossel vegetativo de vinhedos para estimativa da perda superï¬cial de solos. Este estudo integra técnicas de Sensoriamento Remoto e Sistema de Informações Geográï¬cas (SIG) para quantiï¬car e mapear a erosão do solo na região da Denominação de Origem (DO) Vale dos Vinhedos - Brasil. A aplicação da Equação Universal de Perda de Solos (EUPS) considerou fatores como tipo de solo, declividade, erosividade e uso da terra. Os produtos cartográï¬cos gerados foram conï¬rmados por observações em campo. A perda superï¬cial de solo média em vinhedos com dossel vegetativo foi de 388,33 kg/ha/ano, já a perda superï¬cial de solo média em vinhedos que não possuíam o dossel vegetativo foi de 935,67 kg/ha/ano. Comparativamente os cruzamentos realizados evidenciaram pouca diferença entre as classes, sendo a principal diferença observada entre a classe de 0 a 1 t/ha/ano. Em vinhedos com dossel vegetativo, esta classe apresentou perda de solo de 82 % da área de estudo, já para o método que não considerou o dossel vegetativo do vinhedo, esta classe apresentou 75 % da área de estudo, indicando diferença de 7 %, evidenciando uma perda de solo maior no período de dormência do vinhedo. A diferença entre os resultados dos modelos é ressaltada quando se analisa a classe com maior perda de solo, pois no cruzamento que desconsidera o dossel vegetativo do vinhedo houve um aumento de 4,92 km², representando 11 % da área de estudo. Esta avaliação demonstra que a diferença da condução dos vinhedos e o dossel vegetativo inï¬‚uenciam na perda superï¬cial de solo. Sendo assim, os resultados podem contribuir para o monitoramento de processos erosivos laminares e para medidas de conservação e planejamento ambiental em áreas onde se desenvolve a vitivinicultura.
Beyond ‘supply and demand’: Moving from skills ‘planning’ to seeing skills as endogenous to the economy
Authors: Allais Stephanie Matseleng 
Published: November 2022

This article questions the notion of supply and demand of skills, and, accordingly, the rules and tools that have been developed for skills anticipation in South Africa. I argue that there is nowhere ‘outside’ of the economy where skills are produced. Rather, a society and an economy need to be seen as an organism, where skill formation is a complex set of moving parts. The concept of supply and demand is unhelpful to think about skill formation because it directs our attention towards specific moving parts in isolation from the broader factors that shape them. This explains why, despite the existence of extensive tools and institutions for skills anticipation, and numerous institutions for social dialogue and stakeholder engagement, researchers and policy-makers argue that South Africa has an inadequate supply of the skills that are needed in the workplace and concomitant skills mismatches. The article also presents more specific problems with the rules and tools, particularly in the way the systems and institutions for understanding labour market demand interact with the systems and tools for the supply of skills – especially those tools that govern and shape skills provision. It argues further that, whereas there are real problems with these rules and tools, and while they can certainly be improved, the broad goals that they are intended to achieve will not be attained even with better tools, but that different conceptual lenses are required instead.
An examination of the English curriculum in Technical and Vocational Education and Training colleges
Authors: Madileng Mary Mmatsatsi 
Published: November 2022

This article is premised on the notion that the perceived lack of quality of curriculum delivery in the vocational education sector is probably due in part to a lack of understanding of the nature of knowledge in vocational education. The article outlines the nature of knowledge specified in the subject English offered in the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges. The study followed the English curriculum message as it starts from the production field, where new ideas are created and modified to the recontextualisation field, where curriculum designers produce written curriculum documents. The findings indicate that the designers of the National Certificate (Vocational) English curriculum followed an outcomes-based approach in its design but that the content knowledge indicated is vague and unspecified. The curriculum cannot provide a basis against which content knowledge can be selected, as it does not give prominence to grounded content knowledge of the subject. Instead, it is more concerned with the competencies of the students. An analysis of this curriculum identifies its strengths and weaknesses and helps to identify gaps in the curriculum design in at least one curriculum in the TVET sector.

Published: November 2022

Minimally invasive aortic valve replacement through a right thoracotomy is frequently performed in patients with aortic valve disease. The Cor-Knot Device (LSI Solutions) is an automated fastener that secures valve sutures.
This case report is for a patient who developed postcardiotomy shock during a minimally invasive aortic valve surgery. The patient was found to have an aortic root dissection involving 90% of the aortic root circumference, including bilateral coronary ostia. The autopsy revealed that the aortic damage could be explained by a direct aortic intimal tear from the distal tip of the device shaft. The device was most likely not in perfect apposition to the sewing ring because of the restricted angle and space between the ribs.

Published: November 2022

Background
Mitral valve stenosis (MS) is the primary pathologic feature of rheumatic mitral valve disease, and the complex repair affects its clinical outcome. This study aimed to examine the efficacy of the 4-step commisuroplasty “SCORe” procedure by assessing changes in the mobility of mitral valve leaflets and its clinical effects.

Methods
From September 1, 2018, to January 13, 2019, patients with MS who underwent mitral valve repair with the SCORe procedure in the study center were analyzed in this prospective study. Mitral valve structure was assessed by transthoracic echocardiography pre- and postoperatively as well as during follow-up.

Results
In total, 60 consecutive patients were examined. In 56 patients (93.3%), mitral valve orifice area (MVOA) was less than 1.5 cm2, and mean (SD) MVOA for the whole cohort was 1.20 (0.34) cm2. The mobility of the anterior leaflet was improved (P < .001) during the cardiac cycle postsurgery, but that of the posterior leaflet was not (P = .591). The mean (SD) coaptation length was increased significantly from 6.69 (1.32) mm to 7.92 (1.24) mm (P < .001) postoperatively. Mean (SD) MVOAs increased to 2.24 (0.38) cm2 postoperatively (P < .001). During the 1-year follow-up, there were no deaths or reoperations. Follow-up echocardiography revealed minor or mild regurgitation in 98.3% of patients.

Conclusion
These findings demonstrated that the SCORe procedure can effectively improve the mobility of mitral leaflets and enlarge the valve orifice area in patients with rheumatic MS in China, with minimal complications and promising results.
Identification of crucial salivary proteins/genes and pathways involved in pathogenesis of temporomandibular disorders

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a collective term for a group of conditions that lead to impairment of the function of the temporomandibular joint. The proteins/genes and signaling pathways associated with TMD are still poorly understood. The aim of this study was to identify key differentially expressed salivary proteins/genes (DEGs) associated with TMD progression using LC-MS/MS coupled with a bioinformatics approach. The protein–protein interaction network was obtained from the STRING database and the hub genes were identified using Cytoscape including cytoHubba and MCODE plug-ins. In addition, enrichment of gene ontology functions and the Reactome signaling pathway was performed. A total of 140 proteins/genes were differentially expressed. From cluster analysis, a set of 20 hub genes were significantly modulated: ALB, APOA1, B2M, C3, CAT, CLU, CTSD, ENO1, GSN, HBB, HP, HSPA8, LTF, LYZ, MMP9, S100A9, SERPINA1, TF, TPI1, and TXN. Two enriched signaling pathways, glycolysis and gluconeogenesis, and tryptophan signaling pathway involving the hub genes CAT, ENO1, and TPI1 have been identified. The rest of the hub genes were mainly enriched in the innate immune system and antimicrobial peptides signaling pathways. In summary, hub DEGs and the signaling pathways identified here have elucidated the molecular mechanisms of TMD pathogenesis.
Conspiracy Theories in Congregations: A Pastoral Response
Authors: Hussey Ian 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Interest in understanding and responding to conspiracy theories has exploded in recent years. This article seeks to engage with a range of scholarship utilizing a practical theological methodology in order to discern an appropriate response. Because conspiracy theories often produce division in congregations, as well as isolate the conspiracists from their faith community, responding in a wise manner is clearly important. This article first surveys some of the theory and research related to the topic and then discusses the connections between religion and conspiracy theories. It then moves to recommend that a “pastoral” response, including a focus on caring and maintaining sense of belonging, is preferred to a rationalist response, aimed at convincing the conspiracists that they are wrong.
Creativity Unleashed: Building a Practical Theology for Christian Leadership in a World in Flux
Authors: Csinos David M. 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Discourse surrounding Christian leadership is often influenced by colonialistic assumptions and theology that centralizes the role of the leader as change agent. In this article, the author uses Gordon Kaufman’s conception of God as serendipitous creativity as a resource for moving toward a practical theology of leadership that acknowledges colonialistic undercurrents within leadership discourse and responds to the shifting place of the church in our world. Naming God as uncontrollable, unplanned creativity engenders practices of Christian leadership that focus on the power of the community, discern divine creativity in one’s midst, and embrace the mysterious emergence of new realities.
Revisiting chronic low back pain: evidence that it is not non-specific
Authors: Nicodemus Clarence L. , Sikorskii Alla , Epstein Jessica 
Published: November 2022

Abstract

Context
There is a common symptom pattern with most chronic low back pain (CLBP), suggesting that there is a common underlying etiology, belying the term “nonspecific.” Many studies of CLBP and its treatment have been conducted with the assumption of nonspecificity, and as a result, treatment has not been focused, thus there has not been a significant change in CLBP prevalence over the past several decades. It is the thesis of this study to show that there is an underlying, specific cause of CLBP and that the presumption that CLBP is nonspecific is misdirected. The lumbosacropelvic (LSP) region, including the sacroiliac joint (SIJ), is part of a neuromusculoskeletal (NMSK) feedback system, and it is proposed here that CLBP is the result of a change in the feedback (afferent) aspect in that system.

Objectives
The objectives of this study are to show that CLBP presents as a pattern of symptoms that actually represents the final common pathway for a dysfunctional LSP joint system. Rather than being “nonspecific,” the majority of CLBP has an underlying cause that is quite specific and predictable.

Methods
A total of 252 patients were seen for CLBP, 67% of whom were diagnosed with an SIJ dysfunction. The presence of pain was recorded from seven structures most closely associated with CLBP. The conditional probabilities of having each pain generator given a SIJ dysfunction and an SIJ dysfunction given the presence of the pain generator were estimated, and associations were analyzed utilizing chi-square tests. Phi coefficients and odds ratios were utilized to quantify the strength of the association. The multivariable logistic regression model was fit to relate the presence or absence of the SIJ dysfunction to the seven pain generators.

Results
The associations between SIJ dysfunction and each pain generator were statistically significant. Phi coefficients indicated moderate strengths of these bivariate associations. Iliolumbar ligament (ILL) and psoas muscle (PSM) were significant predictors of SIJ dysfunction in the multivariable model.

Conclusions
Seven pain generators had a strong association with SIJ dysfunction. This empirical clinical evidence supports our hypothesis that LSP system dysfunction, as evidenced by SIJ dysfunction, is a common source of symptom patterning associated with CLBP and is most likely the causal element. This is evidence that most CLBP is not “nonspecific” but rather the result of changes made by the NMSK control system for the LSP region.
A study on forming limit diagram and laminated stamping of paperboard
Authors: Gao Ying , Li Yajie , Ji Zhong , Zhang Cunsheng , Lu Guoxin , Liu Ren 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Coated paperboard not only has the advantages of traditional paper such as low density and cleanliness, but also overcomes its disadvantages such as poor barrier performance and sensitivity to moisture. It is more and more widely used in forming packaging containers. The current research on mechanical performance and inelastic deformation of paperboard mainly focus on its physical properties and simplified single-blank forming, but the studies on the forming limit diagram (FLD) of paperboard are relatively rare. In this paper, Nakajima tests have been carried out to determine the FLD curves of the polyethylene-coated paperboard blank along the machine direction, cross direction, and diagonal direction. A laminated stamping method for multi-blank is proposed and investigated by experiment and numerical simulation. Up to 5 blanks can be overlapped and stamped in a single punch stroke, and 5 bowl-shaped packaging containers can be formed simultaneously. Compared with the single-blank stamping process, the production efficiency can be greatly improved, but the flange area of the forming parts is easier to wrinkle. However, the wrinkling risk can still be controlled by optimizing the process parameters, such as friction factor and blank holder gap.
The Landscape Gouache
Authors: Schwahn Wolfgang 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
This article gives an overview over the development of gouache painting – from Flemish Waterverfschilderij, Lenten cloths (tüchlein paintings), miniature paintings, and landscape gouache in “heroic” and “rustic” styles to the landscape veduta of Alpine sceneries. The – often confusing – usage of the term gouache will be discussed and traced back in history, leading to a clear definition of our present-day conception. The findings are based on the study of art technological sources as well as observations of gouache paintings from a variety of different artists including Hans Bol, Marco Ricci, James Stuart, and Johann Ludwig Aberli. The author’s own experiences with gouache painting will also feed into the portrayal of a technique which in the past has often been disparaged and is underrepresented in the art technological research.
Pain Constructions in modern Arabic dialects: a typological overview
Authors: Manfredi Stefano 
Published: November 2022

AbstractPain Constructions (PCs) constitute a class of experiential constructions expressing situations that involve unpleasant physical experiences (e.g.headache,burning eyes, dizziness, etc.). Previous cross-linguistic comparisons have shown that, though languages do not have dedicated morphosyntactic structures for encoding pain, there are certain constructions that are more likely to express physical experiences. Based on original data elicited by means of a situational questionnaire, this paper aims at analyzing the semantic and syntactic properties of PCs in modern Arabic dialects and to make typological generalizations about their cross-dialect variation. Benefiting from insights from both linguistic typology and contact linguistics, the study eventually shows that, despite considerable lexicosemantic and morphosyntactic variation, PCs in Arabic can be reduced to two main syntactic types: locational and inverse constructions.
The typology of negation across varieties of Arabic
Authors: Lucas Christopher , Alluhaybi Mohammed 
Published: November 2022

AbstractDrawing primarily on the data collated by Alluhaybi (2019.Negation in modern Arabic varieties from a typological point of view. London: SOAS University of London PhD thesis), this article first situates Arabic within the crosslinguistic typology of negative strategies put forward, among others, by Miestamo (2005.Standard negation: The negation of declarative verbal main clauses in a typological perspective. Berlin: Mouton de Gruyter). It then surveys the main parameters of variation among different varieties of Arabic in the expression of standard negation, non-verbal negation, and negative imperatives, with a particular focus on the issue of the single versus bipartite expression of negation. The article finishes by looking at some recent debates concerning the diachronic evolution of the observed patterns.
Subregular linguistics: bridging theoretical linguistics and formal grammar
Authors: Graf Thomas 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Subregular linguistics is a fairly new approach that seeks a deeper understanding of language by combining the rigor of formal grammar with the empirical sophistication of theoretical linguistics. The approach started in phonology but has since branched out to morphology and even syntax, unearthing unexpected parallels between these three domains of language. In this paper, I argue based on these results that subregular linguistics has a lot to offer to both fields. Subregular linguistics may be the ideal conduit for knowledge transfer between these two communities.
Myopathic dysphagia caused by thyrotoxicosis: a case report and review of the literature
Authors: Alwithenani Raad , Andrade Danielle M , Zhang Lingxin , Gomez-Hernandez Karen E 
Published: November 2022

Summary
Myopathy caused by thyrotoxicosis is not uncommon. Skeletal muscles are commonly involved, but dysphagia is a rare manifestation of thyrotoxicosis. We aim to raise awareness of dysphagia caused by hyperthyroidism and review similar cases in the literature. We present a case of severe dysphagia caused by hyperthyroidism. We also summarize similar case reports in the literature. Our patient is a 77-year-old man who presented with thyrotoxicosis related to Graves’ disease (GD), dysphagia to both liquid and solid food, and weight loss. Further investigations revealed severe esophageal dysphagia and a high risk for aspiration. He required the placement of a G-tube for feeding. After 8 weeks of methimazole treatment, his thyroid function normalized and his dysphagia improved significantly, leading to the removal of the feeding G-tube. We summarize 19 case reports published in the literature of hyperthyroidism leading to dysphagia. Patients with thyrotoxicosis and dysphagia are at higher risk for aspiration pneumonia and thyroid storm. Based on previous case reports, on average, approximately 3 weeks of treatment with anti-thyroidal drugs and beta-blockers is needed before patients can eat normally. We report a case of dysphagia associated with GD, which is rare and needs prompt recognition to restore euthyroid status. Dysphagia generally resolved with normalization of thyroid function.

Learning points

Myopathy caused by thyrotoxicosis is not uncommon.

Skeletal muscles are commonly involved, but dysphagia is a rare manifestation of thyrotoxicosis.

Dysphagia due to hyperthyroidism resolves with normalization of thyroid function.

Early recognition of dysphagia related to hyperthyroidism and early initiation of therapy may help reverse the dysphagia and prevent complications.
Demonstration of the Effectiveness of Epidermal Growth Factor in Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Authors: BAYKAN Halit , KARA Mehmet 
Published: November 2022

Purpose: Diabetes affects more than 170 million people over the age of 20 worldwide. Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are one of the most common complications of diabetes. It negatively influence the patients' quality of life. Multidisciplinary treatment is required in the treatment of DFUs. In our study, we aimed to investigate the effectiveness of intralesional epidermal growth factor (EGF) in diabetic neuropathy foot ulcers.
Materials and Methods: The study was conducted with 29 patients who applied to our clinic due to diabetic foot wounds between January 2014 and December 2020, who had no wound infection and osteomyelitis, who underwent EGF in accordance with the study criteria. In our study, EGF of 75µg/day 3 times a week was applied intralesionally to diabetic ulcers for 4-8 weeks.
Results: A total of 29 patients were included in the study. 21 of the patients were male and 8 of them were female. The mean age was 59,82. One patient had signs of osteomyelitis. Additional disease was detected in 93,1% of the patients. The mean ulcer width of the patients was found to be 3,44 cm2.
Conclusion: Three important results were obtained from the study. First; epidermal growth factor has been quite effective in the treatment of patients with DFU. The second important finding was to ensure the safe epithelialization of the standing ulcers without impairing the quality of life of the patients. Thirdly, after debridement, treatment with EGF was found to provide a significant improvement in wounds.
