Efficiency Assessment of Complex Treatment of Anal Condylomatosis

Цель. оценить клиническую эффективность комбинированного метода лечения анального кондиломатоза, основанного на применении лазерной деструкции опухолей и иммуномодулирующей терапии. Материалы и методы. исследование реализовано в два этапа. в начале проведен ретроспективный сравнительный анализ результатов лечения 60 пациентов с использованием методов лазерной и электрохирургической деструкции анальных кондилом без иммуномодулирующей терапии. изучались длительность эпителизации ран, частота наступления рецидива. во втором, проспективном, исследовании у 60 пациентов физические методы деструкции кондилом дополнены терапией в виде человеческого рекомбинантного интерферона α2b и препарата имиквимод. Результаты. согласно полученным в ходе исследования данным, лазерная и электрохирургическая деструкция являются эффективными методами лечения аногенитального кондиломатоза. лазерная деструкция характеризовалась более ранней эпителизацией кожной раны (ANOVA, p=0,00001) и меньшим числом рецидивов заболевания в ближайшие два года наблюдения (Pearson's chisquare test, p=0,0270). при применении только методов физического воздействия отмечено значительно большее количество рецидивов в сравнении с комплексным подходом, при котором лазерная и электрохирургическая деструкция дополнены иммуномодулирующим и противовирусным лечением в виде применения человеческого рекомбинантного интерферона α2b и препарата имиквимод (Cochran Qtest, p = 0,022378). временной интервал без прогрессирования заболевания в группе пациентов с иммуномодулирующей терапией был значительно дольше, чем в других группах (Kaplan-Meier test, p=0,01528). Заключение. результаты исследования позволяют утверждать, что использование лазерного излучения для деструкции анальных кондилом имеет ряд преимуществ перед электрокоагуляцией: более низкий риск развития рецидива, меньшие сроки наступления эпителизации раны. применение иммуномодулирующей терапии в виде человеческого рекомбинантного интерферона α2b и местного использования препарата имиквимод эффективно дополняет физические методы деструкции кондилом, что позволяет достоверно снижать частоту рецидива заболевания. Ключевые слова: кондиломатоз, аногенитальные бородавки, лазерная, электрохирургическая деструкция, интерфероны, имиквимод

The Number of Regimes Across Asset Returns: Identification and Economic Value

A shared belief in the financial industry is that markets are driven by two types of regimes. Bull markets would be characterized by high returns and low volatility whereas bear markets would display low returns coupled with high volatility. Modeling the dynam- ics of different asset classes (stocks, bonds, commodities and currencies) with a Markov- Switching model and using a density-based test, we reject the hypothesis that two regimes are enough to capture asset returns' evolutions for many of the investigated assets. Once the accuracy of our test methodology has been assessed through Monte Carlo experi- ments, our empirical results point out that between two and five regimes are required to capture the features of each asset's distribution. Moreover, we show that only a part of the underlying number of regimes is explained by the distributional characteristics of the returns such as kurtosis. A thorough out-of-sample analysis provides additional evidence that there are more than just bulls and bears in financial markets. Finally, we high- light that taking into account the real number of regimes allows both improved portfolio returns and density forecasts.
Diagnostic evaluation for Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in Massachusetts, 1991-2001.

BACKGROUND Surveillance for Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) in the United States has become a focus of public health attention due to concerns about disease acquired through exposure to transmissible spongiform encephalopathy in other species. A definitive diagnosis requires neuropathologic examination, yet concerns about the invasiveness of procedures and infection control may be barriers to brain biopsy or autopsy in patients with suspected CJD. METHODS We reviewed medical records of 50 of the 97 patients identified through the Massachusetts Department of Public Health CJD surveillance system for 1991-2001 and of an additional 21 patients in whom CJD was suspected but later ruled out. RESULTS Of the 50 patients, brain biopsy was performed on 14 (28%), brain biopsy or autopsy was performed on 27 (54%), and brain biopsy and autopsy were performed on 4 (8%). Brain biopsy or autopsy was declined for an additional 7 patients (14%) by family or health care proxy. The proportion of patients on whom brain biopsy was performed was inversely correlated with age, with only 9 (21%) of the 43 patients >60 years old having brain tissue diagnosis. Brain biopsy was performed on patients in whom CJD was suspected but ruled out somewhat less often than it was for patients with confirmed CJD (4 [19%] of 21 patients vs. 7 [23%] of 30 patients, respectively; P=.71). CONCLUSION The majority of patients with CJD-related death whose medical records were available had a brain biopsy or autopsy performed or requested (34 [68%] of 50 patients).

Mandarin Tone Identification in Musicians and Non-musicians: Effects of Modality and Speaking Style

A considerable amount of studies has shown that musical ability affects the success of second language learning. Extending the existing body of work, this study investigates the combined effects of musical ability, modality and speaking style for tone- naïve listeners in identifying Mandarin tones. In order to examine the added value of visual information and hyperarticulated speech, Mandarin tones were presented in two modalities (audio-only and audiovisual) and speaking styles (natural and teaching style) to listeners with or without musical experience. Results showed that musicians generally outperformed non-musicians, but that modality and speaking style both affected learning: both accuracy and response times were better in the audiovisual and teaching style conditions. In addition, the tones differed in learnability: the identification of tone 3 proved the easiest and all participants had more difficulty identifying tone 4. Nevertheless, musicians showed significantly greater accuracy in their identification of tones. These findings suggest that learning to perceive Mandarin tones benefits from musical expertise, visual information and hyperarticulated speaking style.
Everyday Mobile Belonging

This book presents a framework for a new kind of thinking about student mobilities and belonging, which foregrounds the everyday and rhythmic dimensions of students' experiences. Using case studies from a variety of UK higher education contexts, this book develops the concepts of everyday mobilities and mobile belongingness. The authors draw on key ideas about the changing characteristics of UK higher education and of student belonging, exploring the central themes of the sensory, affective and emotional aspects of student mobilities; contested and mobile belongings; and the significance of everyday life, to bring a new dimension to the literature on inter and intra-national student mobilities. This is achieved through an examination of the innovative ways in which social science methods have been (re)imagined through mobility, with a specific focus on youth and education. Kirsty Finn and Mark Holton bring together theory and research from the fields of education studies, geography and sociology, and combine this with a discussion of rich empirical data from three UK-based research projects to set out an explicitly mobility-centred approach to 21st-century student experiences. The findings can be recognised globally because they synthesise debates about travel and transport, students' sense of place and feelings of belonging, and the interrelationship between physical, social and virtual mobilities that higher education brings together. In doing so, this text offers a coherent and grounded campaign for theory and research within studies of higher education that foreground multiple mobilities and diverse feelings of belonging.

The purpose of this article is to present a case of iron deficiency anaemia of unknown cause in a 16 year old female child.
Translation Shift Analysis in Bilingual Children’s Book entitled Kumpulan Dongeng Motivasi

−This descriptive qualitative research was conducted to find out the types of translation shift based on Catford’s theory. The data was taken from bilingual children book entitled Kumpulan Dongeng Motivasi. In this case, Bahasa Indonesia as source language (SL) and English as target language (TL). Documentation method was applied in collecting the data. The instrument of this research was human instrument. In analyzing the data, the researcher used content analysis method. After collecting and analyzing the data, it was found that two major types of shift occurred in the process of translation, namely level shift and category shift. The result showed that there are 340 data that contain shift, in which of the total shift, 6.76% is level shift, 39.9% is structure shift, 8.23% is class shift, 26.17% is unit shift, and 27.1% is intrasystem shift. This research also found that 1.17% of total shift is double shift of unit shift and intra-system shift. Therefore, it can be concluded that the most frequent shift used is structure shift while the least one is class shift. Keywords−translation, shift, level shift, category shift.
Financial education in schools : policy into practice

This research explored the factors that shape personal finance education (PFE) curriculum policy outcome in schools. From 2014, all state-maintained secondary schools in England are required to deliver PFE through; Mathematics, Citizenship Education, and Personal, Social, Health and Economic education (PSHEe). This thesis is the product of a detailed analysis of school documents, lesson observations, and 51 interviews with key national stakeholders and teaching and management staff in schools. A multiple case study research was undertaken, using an analytic framework “sensitised” by theories of street-level bureaucracy (Lipsky, 1980; 2010) and educational transmission (Bernstein, 1971, 1975). This study concludes that contextual factors such as contradictory policy environment, subject status, and strong subject boundaries and allegiances affected PFE curriculum reform enactment and consequently its outcome in schools. Schools are operating under “constraint autonomy” where resources are directed towards subjects that count towards Ofsted grading and league tables. Inconsistency and variation in PFE delivery result from discretion exercised at school and classroom level. Teaching experience, pedagogical preference, and professional judgement determine the nature and degree of discretion. This study highlights the ‘power’ of exam boards and head teachers and argues for a collective approach to PFE curriculum planning and implementation to ensure a uniform and coherent PFE provision.
Cardiovascular changes in newly detected hypothyroid patients in Eastern India

Background: Present study was carried out with an objective to study all the cardiovascular changes associated with newly detected hypothyroidism, and to know the cardiovascular involvement in sub-clinical hypothyroidism. Methods: A total number of 60 newly detected hypothyroid patients, diagnosed by clinical evaluation and confirmed by thyroid hormone assay by chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) method, were subjected to cardiovascular examination, electrocardiograph, echocardiography and Tread mill test. It was cross sectional study design based on random sampling method which was conducted for 2 years in the department of General Medicine, MKCG Medical College Hospital, Berhampur, Odisha, India. The work was carried out after approval from the Institutional Ethics Committee of MKCG Medical College Hospital, Berhampur, Odisha. Patients were investigated before thyroid hormone replacement therapy. Statistical data analysis was made on basis of deviation, standard error, t-test and the proportion test. P value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Out of 60 patients studied 14 were males and 46 were females. Hypothyroidism was newly diagnosed more in females and maximum in age group of 17-47 years (69.9%). Out of 60 patients, 63.3% had symptoms less than 3 months duration. Cardiovascular symptoms were present in 12 (20%) patients. Bradycardia was observed in 7% patients. Stage 1 hypertension was noticed in 13.3% (diastolic high blood pressure). Low voltage complexes in electrocardiogram was present in 40% study group. Pericardial effusion was present in 26.7% patients. Tread mill test was positive for inducible ischaemia in 2 patients. Diastolic dysfunction was noticed in 26.6% study group. Altered lipid profile was present in 16.7% (S. cholesterol) and 53.4% (S. Triglycerides). Conclusions: Hypothyroidism is common in female, maximum between 17-47 years age group. Majority of the patients did not have any cardiovascular changes. Observed cardiovascular changes were ECG abnormalities, pericardial effusion, diastolic hypertension and diastolic dysfunction. Systematic study was done to know the early effects of hypothyroidism on cardiovascular system. The identification of patients with hypothyroidism is an important individual as well as public health issue. Hence, early detection and initiation of hormone replacement therapy can minimize associated cardiovascular changes.
Gender Differences and Environmental Friendliness among Secondary School Students in Benin Metropolis, Nigeria

The paper investigated gender difference and practice of environmental friendliness (PEF) among senior secondary school (SSS) students in Benin Metropolis, Nigeria. The sampling population comprised 480 SSS1 students from twenty-four (24) public and private schools in Benin Metropolis. The data was analyzed using percentage, independent t-test and the Ordinary Least Square (OLS). Besides the male students were found to engage in more environmental unfriendly practices than the female students. The findings from the independent t-test showed significant gender differences in four PEFs with regard to: use of waste bins, urinating around school buildings, writing and pasting posters on the walls and bush burning. The OLS results showed that gender, school administration environmental knowledge and attitude had significantly negative impact on PEF Moreover, whereas the interaction of gender on environmental knowledge has significant and positive impact on PEF, the interaction of gender with environmental attitude has significantly negative association on PEF. Therefore, the paper has implication in the redesign of the school curriculum to address students’ environment and sustainability issues as well as the introduction of affective based teaching methods to help correct the negative students’ attitude/behaviour.
Consumentenpanel Gezondheidszorg: basisrapport met informatie over het panel (2015).

Wat is het doel van het Consumentenpanel Gezondheidszorg? Het Consumentenpanel Gezondheidszorg van het NIVEL (Nederlands instituut voor onderzoek van de gezondheidszorg) is opgezet om onder de algemene bevolking in Nederland meningen en kennis over de gezondheidszorg en de verwachtingen en ervaringen hiermee te meten. Ook kan het panel worden gebruikt om onderzoek te doen onder specifieke groepen binnen de algemene bevolking (bijvoorbeeld migranten, jongeren of vrouwen van 20-40 jaar). Daarnaast zijn van een deel van de panelleden gegevens over hun zorggebruik zoals geregistreerd bij de huisarts beschikbaar. Voor deze panelleden kunnen hun antwoorden op vragenlijsten gecombineerd worden met deze gegevens. Verder kunnen uit het panel deelnemers worden geworven voor telefonische of face-to-face interviews en voor focusgroepen. Ook kunnen we deze interviews en focusgroepen afnemen. De onderwerpen die binnen het Consumentenpanel Gezondheidszorg aan de orde komen, zijn zeer divers. Het NIVEL kent een openbare publicatieplicht, wat betekent dat het NIVEL over alle onderzoeken die zij uitvoert, dus ook over de onderzoeken die binnen het panel worden uitgevoerd, openbaar publiceert. Door op landelijk niveau informatie te verzamelen over de meningen en ervaringen van gebruikers van de gezondheidszorg en de onderzoeksresultaten hiervan openbaar te publiceren, draagt het Consumentenpanel Gezondheidszorg bij aan de versterking van de positie van de gebruikers van de gezondheidszorg.

In this article, we present a detailed chronological review of the theoretical advances made using electronic structure methods to address the structure, hydrogen bonding and vibrational spectroscopy of the water dimer, as well as the role of its potential energy surface in the development of classical force fields to describe intermolecular interactions in clusters and the condensed phases of water. 2018 Published by Elsevier B.V.
Exploring learners’ perceptions of the use of digital letter games for language learning: the case of Magic Word

In this paper, we present two versions of a learning game developed respectively at the Grenoble Alpes and Bologna University. This research focuses on a digital game aimed at favouring the learners' playful attitude and harnessing it towards accuracy aspects of language learning (lexicon and morphology, here). The game, presently available for English, French and Italian, could be described as a letter game stemming from the archetypal example of Turoff's Boggle. Avatars of this game genre both exist as commercial off the shelf games and as learning games. We explain in this paper how our two versions respectively tackle two different aspects of language learning. We conducted an experiment in which all students tried both versions to study their perceptions of both games contrastively in order to prepare for the development of subsequent versions of the game.
Patent-to-Market Premium

A firm’s patent-to-market (PTM) ratio refers to the percentage of a firm’s market value that is attributable to its patent market value. A hedging portfolio based on PTM ratio generates a monthly return of 71 basis points. The CAPM cannot be rejected for firms with low PTM ratios, but is rejected for firms with high PTM ratios. PTM ratio is a priced factor distinct from known factors in the cross-section of stock returns. PTM ratio is positively associated with future profitability. Our analysis suggests that real option is the channel through which PTM ratio predicts future stock returns.
Adaptive Learning: A Stabilizing Influence Across Disciplines and Universities

This study represents an adaptive learning partnership among The University of Central Florida, Colorado Technical University, and the platform provider Realizeit. A thirteen-variable learning domain for students forms the basis of a component invariance study. The results show that four dimensions: knowledge acquisition, engagement activities, communication and growth remain constant in nursing and mathematics courses across the two universities, indicating that the adaptive modality stabilizes learning organization in multiple disciplines. The authors contend that similar collaborative partnerships among universities and vendors is an important next step in the research process.
