ABSTRACT Objective: To perform the epidemiological and clinicopathological analyses of odontogenic tumors in Kerman for 20 years. Material and Methods: The present study investigated collected records from pathology departments of the Faculty of Dentistry, Bahonar, and Shafa teaching-medical hospitals for 20 years. Data on odontogenic tumors was recorded based on age, sex, and tumor location in the information forms. The statistical t-test and the Kappa coefficient computer codes were utilized for data analysis. Results: 38 samples of odontogenic tumors were considered in the present study. The mean age of participants was 31.7± 10.3 years. The frequency of tumors was higher in women (63.2%) and in the lower jaw) 78.9%). Among various tumors, ameloblastoma (63.1%) and odontoma (18.4%) were the most common tumors, respectively. The correlation between clinical and histopathologic diagnoses was 71.8% using the kappa coefficient. Conclusion: Ameloblastoma is the most common odontogenic tumor. The incidence of lesions was higher in the mandible, and odontogenic tumors were higher in women. Since the diagnosis of odontogenic tumors is based on radiographic and histologic appearances, clinical physicians and pathologists should collaborate for the definitive diagnosis of the disease.

Abstract Tomato mosaic disease caused by Tomato mosaic virus (ToMV) reduces tomato crop production globally. Biocontrol measures using various rhizobacteria and algae have been developed to reduce the adverse effects of plant diseases. To this end, two rhizobacteria (probiotic bacteria) including Pseudomonas fluorescens, Bacillus subtilis, and aqueous extract of brown alga (Sargassum angustifolium) were applied. A certain concentration of bacterial suspension was added to the tomato rhizosphere along with the aqueous extract of brown alga and the plants were subsequently inoculated with ToMV. Semi-quantitative indirect-ELISA was performed to estimate the virus titer within inoculated plants. Also, the disease severity index was determined by visual scoring of the plants at 14 and 28 days post-inoculation. Growth indices of plants were evaluated and the data were statistically analyzed. The results showed that multiple treatments of the rhizobacteria and the aqueous extract of brown alga reduced the disease severity to 27.46%, and inhibit the ToMV accumulation up to 86.48% in tomato plants. Moreover, the growth indices of tomato plants pre-treated with a combination of the rhizobacteria and brown alga extract were significantly improved. Taken together, the results suggest that these biocontrol agents have a synergistic effect and their simultaneous application can, therefore, reduce the crop loss caused by ToMV.

Abstract Introduction: Intra- and postoperative nausea, vomiting and shivering are mentioned as the most common problem following spinal anesthesia. The aim of this study is to compare two different doses of granisetron to control the shivering, nausea, and vomiting caused by spinal anesthesia in women undergoing cesarean section (C/S). Method: This study is a randomized, triple-blind clinical trial. The participants received 1-mg or 3-mg granisetron. Women who underwent elective C/S were enrolled. Inclusion criteria were ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) physical status grade I or II and age range of 18–40 years. Primary outcome was changes in the score of shivering, and nausea and vomiting. Secondary outcomes were Apgar score, mean arterial pressure, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, temperature and heart rate. Results: According to binary logistic regression, the incidence of shivering (6.9% vs. 1.5%; p-value = 0.049), and nausea and vomiting (19.2% vs. 9.2%; p-value = 0.024) was significantly higher in patients received 1-mg granisetron in comparison with 3-mg granisetron. Multinomial logistic regression showed that the occurrence of shivering, and nausea and vomiting were not associated with the dose of granisetron. There was no significant difference between the age and Apgar score of 1 (p = 0.908) and 5 (p = 0.843) minute(s) between the two groups. Conclusion: This study showed that although 3-mg of granisetron reduces the incidence of intra-and postoperative shivering, nausea and vomiting after spinal anesthesia in comparison with 1-mg of granisetron, the difference was not statistically significant.

Resumo O presente artigo é parte de uma pesquisa mais ampla dedicada à análise de políticas de gênero e direitos humanos na Política Externa Brasileira nos últimos anos, em especial a partir do Governo de Jair Bolsonaro (PL). Nesse texto, priorizamos um enquadramento interseccional sobre as abordagens discursivas de Bolsonaro e do Chanceler Ernesto Araújo acerca das questões de raça e gênero no período de 01/01/2019 a 31/03/2021. Para isso, utilizamos a metodologia da Análise de Conteúdo para sistematização e análise de 66 discursos oficiais proferidos por ambos em fóruns internacionais. Foi possível perceber que as questões raciais no Brasil surgem a partir de uma releitura do já conhecido mito da democracia racial e do ideal da mestiçagem. No atual contexto, esses são elementos basilares da política nacional e externa ao reforçarem de forma expressa ou difusa a estrutura brasileira racista e a branquitude.

Abstract This article is part of broader research dedicated to analyzing gender and human rights policies in Brazilian Foreign Policy in recent years, especially since President Jair Bolsonaro took office in January 2019. This paper focuses on Bolsonaro's and Chancellor Ernesto Araújo's public speeches' intersectional approaches concerning race and gender between 01/01/2019 to 03/31/2021. This research applied the Content Analysis methodology to systematize and analyze 66 official public speeches given by both authorities in international forums. Our findings indicate that racial issues in Brazil directly result from a reinterpretation of the well-known myth of racial democracy established in the country from the ideal of miscegenation. In the current context, these are essential elements of national and foreign policy by expressly or diffusely reinforcing the racist Brazilian structure and whiteness.

This article is a study of a university vice chancellor (VC) and specifically the leadership qualities that articulate success. There is broad agreement across the higher education sector that good leadership is central to the performance of university vice chancellors (Cloete, Maassen, and Bailey 2015; Macfarlane 2012; Jansen 2017; Scott et al. 2010). University vice-chancellor's performance are measured against at range of issues and include determining the institution's strategic goals, academic standing and transformation agenda (Leibowitz 2012). To run a university there is need for university vice-chancellors to articulate particular skills, values and qualities that will enable them to achieve success in these wide-ranging and competing goals and agendas. In South Africa however with few exceptions (Swartz et al. 2019; Jansen 2017), fundamental questions remain about what these values and qualities are and they arise in university vice-chancellors own account of leadership. Although vice-chancellors occupy an eminent position in the country especially in the context of transforming higher education in the country (Cloete 2014), specific attention to the values and qualities that vice-chancellors articulate as vital for leadership has been understudied. This article is interested in the question: how do vice-chancellors shape leadership qualities are how do these arise? This question is explored empirically, through narrative enquiry by focusing on one vice-chancellor's account of leadership qualities. Through a close-focus examination of the nuances associated with a university vice chancellor's conceptualisation of leadership, this article provides insights into what qualities are relevant for effective leadership. As noted by Dewan and Myatt (2008) the successful performance of a leader is based on the question of which qualities are relevant for effective leadership. There remains a marginal consideration of university vice-chancellor's perspectives on the issues of effective leadership and how they arise especially in the context of South Africa's turbulent higher education environment.

This article applies Bakhtinian dialogism and the concept of centripetal-centrifugal struggle to critical discourse studies to analyse how powerful and marginalised discourses are brought into competition in political language to justify paradigm changes. I analyse German chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Zeitenwende (‘watershed’) speech, which he gave as a response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, announcing a radical armament programme and change in foreign policy, a paradigm shift that had previously been unthinkable in German politics. Based on a qualitative analysis using the Appraisal Theory strategies Attitude and Engagement, I identify how Scholz aligns himself with particular powerful discourses, centring some powerful ones and marginalising others, constructing an existential threat for Germany, the so-called watershed, a new situation which casts his policies of German armament as without alternative. The paper demonstrates the strength of the analysis of dialogically contractive and expansive strategies in critical discourse studies.

Este artigo aplica o dialogismo bakhtiniano e o conceito de luta centrípeta-centrífuga a estudos de discurso crítico para analisar o quão poderosos e marginalizados discursos são trazidos à concorrência na linguagem política para justificar mudanças de paradigma. Analiso o discurso Zeitenwende (início de uma era) do chanceler alemão Olaf Scholz, que ele deu como resposta à invasão russa da Ucrânia, anunciando um programa radical de armamento e uma mudança na política externa, uma mudança de paradigma que antes era impensável na política alemã. Com base em uma análise qualitativa utilizando as estratégias da Teoria da Avaliação Atitude e Engajamento, identifico como Scholz se alinha a discursos particulares e poderosos, centrado em alguns poderosos e marginalizando outros, construindo uma ameaça existencial para a Alemanha, o chamado início de uma era, uma nova situação que lança suas políticas de armamento alemão como sem alternativa. O artigo demonstra a força da análise de estratégias dialogicamente contrativas e expansivas em estudos de discurso crítico.

Abstract Ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury leads to overproduction of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), and disrupts membrane potential that contributes to cell death. The aim of this study was to determine if naringin (NAR), trimetazidine (TMZ) or their combination, protect the kidney mitochondrial from IR injury. Forty rats were randomly allocated into five groups, harboring eight rats each: Sham, IR, NAR (100 mg/kg), TMZ (5 mg/kg) and NAR plus TMZ. Ischemia was induced by obstructing both renal pedicles for 45 min, followed by reperfusion for 4 hours. The mitochondria were isolated to examine the ROS, Malondialdehyde (MDA), Glutathione (GSH), mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and mitochondrial viability (MTT). Our findings indicated that IR injury resulted in excessive ROS production, increased MDA levels and decreased GSH, MMP and MMT levels. However, NAR, TMZ or their combination reversed these changes. Interestingly, a higher protection was noted with the combination of both, compared to each drug alone. We speculate that this combination demonstrates a promising process for controlling renal failure, especially with the poor clinical outcome, acquired with NAR alone. This study revealed that pretreatment their combination serves as a promising compound against oxidative stress, leading to suppression of mitochondrial stress pathway and elevation of GSH level.

ABSTRACT Over the last four decades, the issue on leadership in universities, particularly institutional leadership, has been under increasing scrutiny due to the importance of the role of the leader in managing his university effectively. This paper presents the qualitative findings on the concept of institutional leadership with a focus on Vice Chancellors, the need and challenges in developing a talent management system, and the competency skills framework of a unit under the Ministry of Higher Education. The findings of this study show that the appointment of a Vice Chancellor should be considered with an appropriate assessment tool to ensure that the goals of the university can be achieved. The appointment of a Vice Chancellor should also be considered by looking at the context of the university because the ecosystem of one university may be different from the ecosystem of other universities. This study also finds that there are systems that already exist in the universities. It also finds that a more extensive competency skills assessment system and talent management profiling system would assist in selecting the right candidate for a Vice Chancellor position. The findings of this study provide an understanding of the role of a Vice Chancellor and the importance of having a talent assessment system for higher education institutions.

RESUMEN Durante las últimas cuatro décadas, el tema del liderazgo en las universidades, en particular el liderazgo institucional, ha estado bajo un escrutinio cada vez mayor debido a la importancia del papel del líder en la gestión eficaz de su universidad. Este artículo presenta los hallazgos cualitativos sobre el concepto de liderazgo institucional con un enfoque en los vicerrectores, la necesidad y los desafíos en el desarrollo de un sistema de gestión del talento y el marco de competencias y habilidades de una unidad dependiente del Ministerio de Educación Superior. Los hallazgos de este estudio muestran que el nombramiento de un vicerrector debe considerarse con una herramienta de evaluación adecuada para garantizar que se puedan alcanzar los objetivos de la universidad. El nombramiento de un vicerrector también debe considerarse teniendo en cuenta el contexto de la universidad porque el ecosistema de una universidad puede ser diferente del ecosistema de otras universidades. Este estudio también encuentra que hay sistemas que ya existen en las universidades. También encuentra que un sistema más extenso de evaluación de habilidades de competencia y un sistema de perfiles de gestión del talento ayudarían a seleccionar al candidato adecuado para un puesto de vicerrector. Los hallazgos de este estudio proporcionan una comprensión del papel de un vicerrector y la importancia de tener un sistema de evaluación del talento para las instituciones de educación superior.

Resumo Desde que o Tratado de Lisboa entrou em vigor, a Presidênciado Conselho da União Europeia tem sido fundamentalmente responsável pela coordenação e organização internas do trabalho diário do Conselho. Apenas em determinadas circunstâncias assume um papel de liderança que extravasa a gestão do dia a dia - como em 2020, quando a Alemanha assumiu a Presidência num momento de crise sem precedentes. A chanceler Angela Merkel demonstrou a sua capacidade de gestão de crises e aproveitou a oportunidade para deixar um legado na Europa com o plano de recuperação «NextGenerationEU». Porém, ainda não foram ditas as últimas palavras sobre Merkel enquanto líder europeia, uma vez que a popularidade do seu partido está a cair nas sondagens no período que antecede as eleições federais na Alemanha.

Abstract Since the Treaty of Lisbon entered into force, the EU Council Presidency has been mainly responsible for the internal coordination and organisation of the Council’s daily work. Only under certain circumstances it assumes a leadership role that goes beyond day-to-day management - such as in 2020, as Germany took on the Presidency in a moment of unprecedented crisis. Chancellor Angela Merkel demonstrated her expertise as crisis manager one more time and used the chance to mark her European legacy with the ‘Next Generation EU’ recovery package. Last words about Chancellor Merkel as a European leader have yet to be said, however, as her party’s popularity is plummeting in the polls in the run-up to the federal elections in Germany.

This article provides an introduction to the life of Henry of Harclay (ca.1270-1317). It also attempts an interpretation of the most significant themes in the primary extant work of this, still understated, double magister in philosophy and theology at Oxford, who was chancellor of Oxford university and bishop of Lincoln from 1312 to 1317. The introduction and interpretation are undertaken with reference to his correspondence theory (challenging his otherwise most significant discursive influence, John Duns Scotus's (ca.1266-1308) natura communis or theory of general nature), unique conceptualism, views on the ontological status of relational contingents and ethical reflections on the relation between virtue and will, as deduced from the 29 questions in his Quaestiones Ordinaire, written precisely in that productive period between 1312 and 1317. It is argued that although Harclay was one of the first exponents of Scotism, it would be a mistake to reduce his work to a mere commentary on Scotus's thought. Harclay should rather be appreciated in terms of an expressly critical Scotism on account of his dismissive attitude toward aspects of the Scotus legacy, on the one hand, and the originality of his engagement in scholastic discourse regarding relations, particularity, universality and ethics, on the other. Although he remained a secular master and never officially entered the order, Harclay forms, in terms of this presentation, part of the broader Franciscan intellectual tradition and should be regarded as a significant exponent of this particular philosophical trajectory in the first two decades of the fourteenth century. After a brief biographical introduction, the results of a comparative study of Harclay's presence in recent introductions to, as well as editorial works of, Medieval philosophy are presented. It quickly becomes clear that although Harclay'sprofile is steadily being promoted in these broader disciplinary works, the Oxonian remains a relatively unknown thinker outside the narrow parameters of such specialised niche-research. In fact, only a handful of contemporary researchers have been working on Harclay's textual legacy over the past decade; the most prolific being MG Henninger (from 1980 to 2008), although it is shown that WO Duba, RL Friedman and CD Schabel (in 2010) and JT Slotemaker (in 2011) have recently contributed significantly to the specialised Harclay scholarship. It is therefore important that Harclay's unique place within the scholastic discourse of the early 14th century be continuously highlighted and presented to a broader and non-specialised readership in philosophy, which is a pertinent sub-objective of this article. The 29 questions in Harclay's Quaestiones Ordinaire, as preliminarily edited by A Maurer from 1954 to 1961 and extensively by Henninger from 1980 to 2008, are henceforth presented via the author's semantic translation from the Latin and a short commentary on each question in Afrikaans. Four themes are deduced from these questions which point to Harclay as a genuinely critical exponent of the first Scotist school of the 14th century: As dependent as he initially was on the basic tenets in Scotus's thought, Harclay's correspondence theory, his unique or even "Harclian" conceptualism, his views on the ontological status of relational contingents and his ethical reflections on the relation between virtue and will (where the will is prioritised over the intellect in characteristic Franciscan fashion) display an originality and discursive inventiveness in the heated disputes between the Dominicans and the Franciscans (and the Franciscans among themselves) in the last two decades of the 13th and the first two decades of the 14th century. The article is descriptive-analytical in its presentation of the relevant primary text, Quaestiones Ordinaire, and synthetical in its attempt to integrate coherently key secondary texts and commentaries on the most prominent philosophical themes in Barclay's contributions to high scholasticism.

Hierdie artikel bied 'n oorsig oor die lewenswerk en 'n interpretasie van die belangrikste uitset van 'n onderbeskrewe denker in die hoogskolastiek aan: Hendrik van Harclay (ca.1270-1317), voormalige kanselier van die Universiteit van Oxford en biskop van Lincoln (vanaf 1312 tot 1317) se geredigeerde nalatenskap, tot op datum nog net byeengebring in die 29 vrae in sy Quaestiones Ordinaire en geskryfjuis in die produktiewe periode tussen 1312 en 1317, word aan die orde gestel met betrekking tot sy ooreenstemmingsteorie (in kritiese verset teen sy andersins vernaamste diskursiewe invloed, Johannes Duns Skotus (ca.1266-1308) se teorie van algemene natuur of natura communis), sy unieke en selfs "Harcliaanse" konseptualisme, sy beskouinge oor die ontologiese status van relasionele toevallighede, sy toepassing daarvan op 'n etiese raamwerk met verwysing na die verhouding tussen deug en wil en sy eg Franciskaanse prioritisering van die wil bo die intellek. Deur Harclay se Skotisme uitdruklik as krities te substansieer, lewer die artikel 'n noemenswaardige bydrae in die betreklik jong resepsie van hierdie ontwykende filosoof-teoloog se bydrae tot hoog skolastiese ontwikkelinge in die vroeë14de eeu.

Resumo O texto se propõe a analisar a gestão da crise da covid-19 no ano de 2020 estabelecendo alguns pontos de destaque da condução pública da chanceler Angela Merkel na Alemanha, em diálogo com as conferências clássicas de Max Weber “A ciência como vocação” e “A política como vocação” de 1919. Por fim, possibilita alguns aspectos de contraste com a condução da pandemia nos países do Sul no Global, especialmente no Brasil, tanto na sua produção coletiva e criativa, quanto na sua forma de negligência à ciência e à política presentes na condução do atual presidente.

Abstract The text proposes to analyze the management of the covid-19 crisis in the year 2020 by establishing some highlights of the public conduct of Chancellor Angela Merkel in Germany, and in dialogue with Max Weber’s classic conferences “Science as a vocation” and “Politics as a vocation” of 1919. Finally, it allows for some contrasting aspects with the pandemic’s conduct in the Global South, especially in Brazil, both in its collective and creative production, and in its neglect of science and politics, in the conduct of the current president.

Resumen Los alcaldes como miembros del cabildo tuvieron su aparición en la península ibérica durante la Alta Edad Media, esto derivado de las necesidades de los vecinos de tener injerencia en asuntos de interés popular. Debido a la importancia de esta figura y la intervención en los asuntos de las ciudades castellanas, a la llegada de Hernán Cortés a las Indias Occidentales, este crea el primer ayuntamiento en la Villa Rica de la Vera Cruz. Con la llegada de los frailes encabezados por fray Bartolomé de las Casas al valle de Cuetlaxcoapan y como consecuencia de un pensamiento milenarista heredado por el gran canciller Mercurino Arborio di Gattinara, se fundó la Ciudad de los Ángeles. El ideal de esta era tener una ciudad perfecta donde no se aplicara la encomienda y estuviera administrada por personas ejemplares. La metodología utilizada es documental basada en hacer una conciliación de autores reconocidos en la materia y deductiva para obtener los orígenes jurídicos de los alcaldes en la Nueva España. Sin embargo, no es suficiente una investigación documental, sino que es necesario entender la vida diaria de los alcaldes a través de documentos, tales como las actas de cabildo de los siglos estudiados.

Abstract The Mayors as members of the Cabildo appeared in the Iberian Peninsula during the High Middle Ages, derived from the needs of the neighbors to have interference in matters of popular interest. Due to the importance of this figure and the interference with the affairs of the Castilian cities, upon the arrival of Hernán Cortes to the West Indies, he creates the first Town Hall in the Villa Rica de la Vera Cruz. With the arrival of the friars headed by Fray Bartolome de las Casas, to the valley of Cuetlaxcoapan and because of a Millenarian thought inherited by the Grand Chancellor Mercurino Gattinara, the City de los Angeles was founded. The ideal of this, was to have a Perfect City where the encomienda was not applied and was administered by exemplary people. The methodology used is documentary, it is based on making a reconciliation of books of recognized authors in the field and it is deductive since it derives in obtaining the legal origins of the Mayors in New Spain, a documentary research is not enough but it is necessary to understand the daily life of the mayors through documents such as the Cabildo Acts of the centuries studied.

Conventional drug formulations are incapable of adequate delivery of proteins and peptides for therapeutic purposes. As these molecules have very short biological half-life, multiple dosing is required to achieve the desirable therapeutic effects. Microspheres are able to encapsulate proteins and peptide in the polymeric matrix while protecting them from enzymatic degradation. In this study Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) matrix type microspheres were fabricated using Polylactide-co-glycolide (PLGA) by double emulsion solvent evaporation method. The effects of variables such as homogenizer speed, molecular weight of polymer and the effect of pH of the water phases, were investigated against factors such as drug loading, encapsulation efficiency, morphology, size, drug distribution and release profile of the microspheres. Results, suggested that an increase in homogenization speed leads to a decrease in microsphere size. The increase in homogenization speed also caused a significant effect on the release profile only when higher molecular weight of polymer had been used.. The pH change of the internal aqueous phase led to modification of surface morphology of spheres to a porous structure that significantly increased the total amount of released protein. Integrity of protein structure was intact as shown by SDS-PAGE. According to the results, it can be concluded that we achieved a reproducible method regarding controlled protein delivery for different sizes of particles.

The triumph of a post-scholastic mysticism over scholastic loyalism: Gerson versus Ruusbroec (posth.), 1399. This article provides an introduction to the thought of the Flemish-Brabant 14th-century mystical thinker, Jan van Ruusbroec, with special attention to the explosion in the niche research from 1981 (with the publication of the first volume of the Ruusbroec Opera Omnia) to 2017 (regarding the specialised outputs of the Ruusbroec Institute at the University of Antwerp). Ruusbroec is presented as a 'post-scholastic' thinker, who in an idiosyncratic way, transcended the high-scholastic aspirations of absolute clarity and certainty about God and human existence. His thought is contextualised within a polemical, posthumous context, namely the attempt of the chancellor of the University of Paris at the time, John Gerson, to get Ruusbroec's text', 'Die geestelike brulocht' declared as heresy and Ruusbroec himself as a heretic in the year 1399 AD, 18 years after Ruusbroec's death. The attempts of Ruusbroec's young colleagues at the modest monastery of Groenendaal, confronting and rearguing Gerson on this issue, are thoroughly explored. The fact that neither 'Die geestelike brulocht' nor Ruusbroec himself could eventually be effectively challenged by the high-powered Gerson, is presented as an example of the inherent potential of 'post-scholasticism' to contribute to the progression that eventually manifested itself as the 'new world', the Renaissance. No one won or lost this posthumous battle: but Gerson certainly did not win it. This is a remarkable note in, even a 'triumph' for, the archives of the small Augustinian monastery in Groenendaal, consisting of subtle 'Augustinian' monks, who had little more than a dedicated passion for Ruusbroec's mysticism (and an undergraduate in theology at the University of Paris) on their side. A hermeneutic interpretation of the events of 1399 is henceforth presented, to indicate that within the socio-political turmoil of European societies in the 14th century, there were still places (and thinkers, such as Ruusbroec), where people were able to find 'rest in God' - as there should be today.
