A Clinico-Pathological Correlation and an Analysis of Ovarian Tumours in Tertiary Care Hospital.

Background: Tumours of the ovary are common forms of neoplasms in women. The pathology of ovarian neoplasms is one of the most complex areas of gynaecology, because the ovary gives rise to the greater and larger variety of tumours than any other organ. Aim: This study was done to analyse the frequency of ovarian tumours and their clinical and histopathological features in rural set up. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study of 132 ovarian tumours in tertiary care hospital over a period of two years. All the relevant clinical data of the patients were searched from the ward records. Results: The total number of ovarian tumours studied during the three year period was 132 cases, among that 76(57.5%) cases were benign, 17 (13%) cases were borderline and 39 (29.5) cases were malignant. In benign ovarian tumours, the most common neoplasm was serous cystadenoma, followed by benign germ-cell tumours (cystic teratoma). In malignant tumours, serous cystadenocarcinoma was the most common, followed by mucinous cystadenocarcinoma and metastatic tumours. Conclusion: Ovarian tumours are composed of wide range of histology. Correlation of age, clinical features, gross, various histopathological pattern and categorizing according to WHO classification helps in arriving at the correct diagnosis as well as helps to assess the prognosis of ovarian tumours.
A Study on the Validity and Reliability of Listening Strategy Inventory Development

Article History: Received 16.10. 2017 Received in revised form 20.05. 2018 Accepted 30.05. 2016 Available online 15.06. 2018 The main purpose of this study is to find out listening strategies used by Turkish students who are using English as a Foreign Language (EFL); cultural differences in the use of listening strategies was attempted to be elicited. Under the light of the strategies collectedas datafrom Turkish students, this aim led to develop a reliable and valid listening strategy inventory so as to contribute the field along with the ones used frequently without culture specifications. The inventory called as Listening Strategy Inventory (LSI) was conducted to the 294 (218F/76M) Turkish EFL tertiary level students studying at the department of English Language Teaching at one of the state universities in Turkey and the validity was confirmed. The instrument was developed for measuring Turkish students’ listening strategies with proven validity. Factor analysis conducted in this study was implemented to see the validity of the Listening Strategy Inventory. The results of the factors analysis applied revealed the dimensions of the items which are measuring the behaviors of EFL Turkish students. Accordingly, we can propose that Turkish university EFL students largely prefer using 3 of the strategies frequently-which are called as getting the gist strategies, negotiation for meaning strategies, and scanning strategies while listening. As for the reliability of the instrument, the inventory as 5 points Likert-type, was conducted to 601 Turkish EFL students studying at high schools and universities in the South part of Turkey. This study is significant for several reasons. First, it expands the limited research into listening strategies for learners of other languages, more specifically Turkish students who are learning English as a foreign language and are rarely able to augment their listening skills beyond the classroom. Additionally, as it has been shown in the review of literature, there seems limited research on investigation of listening strategies used by Turkish students. Therefore, next, this study considers cultural background of Turkish learners in terms of the use of listening strategies. Finally, the study determines listening strategy preferences of Turkish students via a reliable (Cronbach's alpha.84) and validated tool. © 2018 IOJES. All rights reserved
Comparative Study of Non Fasting Single Plasma 1 Hour Value After 50 Grams Vs Non Fasting Single Plasma 2 Hour Value After 75 Grams Glucose for Screening of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

Introduction: Gestational diabetes mellitus is a common medical complication of pregnancy with several fetal and maternal complications. There are several screening tools for detecting gestational diabetes mellitus including recent DIPSI criteria of non-fasting single plasma 2 hour value after 75 grams glucose. Aims: present study was aimed at comparing sensitivity and specificity of non fasting single plasma 1 hour value after 50 grams vs non fasting single plasma 2 hour value after 75 grams glucose for screening of gestational diabetes mellitus. Materials and methods: This was a prospective comparative randomized study conducted from December 2013 to July 2015. Women with period of gestation 24-28 weeks were included. Both groups i.e. Group A (50 g) and Group B (75 g) were tested by OGTT for confirmation. Prevalence rates, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of both groups were studied. Results: Prevalence rate, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value for Group A were 16.57%, 68.97%, 75.34%, 35.71% and 92.44%. Prevalence rate, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value for Group B were 13.71%, 72.92%, 95.03%, 70.00% and 95.67%. Group B showed better strength of agreement with kappa value of 0.668 where as Group A showed kappa value of 0.323. Conclusions: Screening using DIPSI criteria has better sensitivity and negative predictive values. It can serve as both screening and diagnostic test besides being simple, user friendly, cost effective and evidence based test in less resource countries like India. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Date of Submission: 16-03-2018 Date of acceptance: 30-03-2018 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 C . 5 ENVIRONMENTAL VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND TROPICAL CYCLONE INTENSITY CHANGE UTILIZING ENHANCED SATELLITE DERIVED WIND INFORMATION

The effects of vertical wind shear on a tropical cyclone’s (TC) structure and intensity change are qualitatively well known in the tropical community. For low (high) values of vertical shear, a storm will generally intensify (weaken) provided other parameters that affect TC intensity remain constant. However, quantitative relationships have remained elusive, mainly due to the lack of temporal and spatial continuity in measurements of the three-dimensional wind field structure over data sparse regions such as the tropical oceans. The University of Wisconsin Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Studies (UW-CIMSS) computes high-resolution satellite-derived wind vectors globally using geostationary satellite imagery. UW-CIMSS has automated a process to derive vertical wind shear using this wind information (Gallina and Velden 2000) and is providing these fields in real-time via the Internet. This study expands on Pasch and Velden (1999) who proposed using these fields to quantitatively investigate the relationship between vertical wind shear and TC intensity change. Preliminary results from their study suggested the presence of time lags between the onset of detrimental shear and subsequent TC weakening. The goal of the present study is to expand on their work by examining a large number of TC cases and provide more insight on critical shear magnitudes, time lags, and vertical shear’s effect on TCs with different strengths and thermodynamic potentials.
P o S ( L A T 2 0 0 9 ) 2 1 8 Dyson ’ s Instability in Lattice Gauge Theory

We discuss Dyson’s argument that the vacuum is unstable unde r a changeg2 → −g2, in the context of lattice gauge theory. For compact gauge groups, t he partition function is well defined at negativeg2, but the average plaquette P has a discontinuity when g2 changes sign. This reflects a change of vacuum rather than a loss of vacuum. In addition, P has poles in the complex g2 plane, located at the complex zeros of the partition function (Fish er’s zeros). We discuss the relevance of these singularities for lattice perturbation theory. We pr sent new methods to locate Fisher’s zeros using numerical values for the density of state in SU(2) andU(1) pure gauge theory. We briefly discuss similar issues for O(N) nonlinear sigma models where the local integrals are also over compact spaces.
Determinant of Corporate Financial Distress in an Emerging Market Economy : Empirical Evidence from the Indonesian Stock Exchange 2004-2008

This study empirically examines the dynamics of corporate financial distress of public companies (non financial companies) in Indonesian (IDX) for the period of 20042008. Using panel data regression, we analyze internal and external factors affecting corporate financial distress. To distinguish the status of financial condition, the process of integral corporate financial distress is classified into four steps: good, early impairment, deterioration and cash flow problem companies. The results show that current ratio (CR), efficiency (Eff), equity (EQ) and dummy variable of the status good financial condition (D3) have positive and significant influences to Debt Service Coverage (DSC) as a proxy of financial distress. On the other hand, leverage (Lev) has a negative and significant relation with DSC. Other variables such as profit, retain earning (RE), good corporate governance (GCG) and macroeconomic factor have no significant impact on the status of corporate financial distress. Furthermore, the analysis indicated that profitable companies should not be a guarantee that the companies can survive to fulfill its liabilities. Liquidity of companies which can be a prominent point can be recognized by evaluating cash flow performance. International Research Journal of Finance and Economics Issue 52 (2010) 82
isentangling patterns of economic , technological and innovative pecialization of Western economies : An assessment of the arieties-of-Capitalism theory on comparative institutional dvantages

It is one of the central arguments of the Varieties-of-Capitalism (VoC) literature that national institutions determine comparative advantage. While Liberal Market Economies (LMEs) are said to offer comparative institutional advantages to firms that specialize in high-tech sectors based on radical innovation, Coordinated Market Economies (CMEs) offer advantages to firms specializing in medium-high-tech sectors characterized by incremental innovation. Several studies have tested these claims and arrived at contradictory results about specialization in line with institutional advantages. We argue that undifferentiated nstitutional theory arieties of capitalism omparative advantage pecialization igh-tech industries conceptualizations of the notion of specialization contribute to these inconclusive results. Based on the insights of the innovation literature on comparative advantage, we therefore disentangle the concepts of 1) economic specialization, 2) technological specialization, and 3) innovative specialization. Our analyses of panel data on exports and patents show that the VoC theory is rather weak in explaining patterns of economic specialization but can account for technological specialization. Furthermore, the VoC literature ns of can hardly explain patter
Storybook Reading Approach: Outcomes With Two Children With Language and Phonological Impairments Exhibiting Different Levels of Phonological Consistency

ABSTRACT: Purpose: This study examined how 2 children with language and phonological impairments exhibiting different levels of phonological consistency responded to a storybook reading approach. In particular, within-treatment response to contrastive word pairs was examined. Method: The following questions were asked: (a) Does a child with phonological inconsistency respond differently than a child with phonological consistency to use of a CCVC/CVCC contrastive word pair strategy during treatment? (b) Does a child with phonological inconsistency exhibit a similar phonological response to treatment as a child with phonological consistency? Results: Treatment effects supported a storybook I
Impact of fl ow hydrodynamics and pipe material properties on bio fi lm development within drinking water systems

The aim of this study was to investigate the combined impact of flow hydrodynamics and pipe material on biofilm development in drinking water distribution systems (DWDS). Biofilms were formed on four commonly used pipe materials (namely polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, structured wall high-density polyethylene and solid wall high-density polyethylene) within a series of purpose built flow cell reactors at two different flow regimes. Results indicate that varying amounts of microbial material with different morphologies were present depending on the pipe material and conditioning. The amount of microbial biomass was typically greater for the biofilms conditioned at lower flows. Whereas, biofilm development was inhibited at higher flows indicating shear forces imposed by flow conditions were above the critical levels for biofilm attachment. Alphaproteobacteria was the predominant bacterial group within the biofilms incubated at low flow and represented 48% of evaluated phylotypes; whilst at higher flows, Betaproteobacteria (45%) and Gammaproteobacteria (33%) were the dominant groups. The opportunistic pathogens, Sphingomonas and Pseudomonas were found to be particularly abundant in biofilms incubated at lower flows, and only found within biofilms incubated at higher flows on the rougher materials assessed. This suggests that these bacteria have limited ability to propagate within biofilms under high shear conditions without sufficient protection (roughness). These findings expand on knowledge relating to the impact of surface roughness and flow hydrodynamics on biofilm development within DWDS. ARTICLE HISTORY Received 20 December 2018 Accepted 7 May 2019

Data collected from 10 companies directly produced by Lilama were analyzed by using the Sem model. The results show that corporate culture impact on overall quality management, thus setting out management measures that create a competitive advantage for LILAMA and apply to other enterprises in Vietnam.
Incidence Of Brucella Abortus And Brucella Melitensis In Peshawar And Identification Of Active And Passive Infection

Brucellosis is an infectious zoonotic disease caused by bacteria from the genus Brucella. It is an infection that affects mainly animals and transfer to humans through their contact with contaminated products of animals. Human brucellosis is a worldwide disease which has an annual occurrence rate of more than 500,000 cases and it is increasing with passage of time. The present study was designed to identify the incidence of Brucellosis in Peshawar District and its active (acute) & passive (chronic) situation in the population. In this study 1250 sera samples collected along with their histories through a proforma from seven different renowned hospitals of Peshawar. As a whole incidence rate of 16/100,000 was observed in Peshawar i.e. 6/100,000 incidence rate for Brucella Abortus and 10/100,000 for Brucella Melitensis. Through slide agglutination test, 455 samples out of 1250 were screened for the presence of Brucella Antibodies. It was observed that out of total positive samples, 157 (35%) cases were positive for Brucella Abortus while 298 (65%) cases were positve for Brucella Melitensis. The status of Acute and Chronic cases was studied through Isotype specific-Enzyme Linked Immunosorbant Assay (ELISA). Through ELISA it was found that 273 (60%) of samples had IgM antibodies while 182 (40%) samples were positive for IgG antibodies that were indication of Acute (Active) and Chronic (passive) cases, respectively. In acute cases (273), 206 (75%) and 67 (25%) samples were positive for Brucella Melitensis and Brucella Abortus, respectively while in chronic cases, 110 (60%) and 72 (40%) samples were found positive for Brucella Melitensis and Brucella Abortus, respectively. In addition, in acute cases, had active infection, were suffered with fever and arthralgia while chronic patients exhibited clinical signs related with skeletal and gastrointestinal organs but other signs such as fever, loss of weight, headache and vomiting were observed in both acute and chronic cases of brucellosis. These signs are obscure and can not be linked with active or chronic infection of brucellosis. [Bashir Ahmad, Saira Jamil, Shumaila Bashir, M. Bilal, Said Hassan, Javid Khan.

The Young Turks – Children of the Borderlands ?

Empires and bo de ands – Although the history of the continental empires of Europe, the Habsburg Empire, Prussia, Russia and the Ottoman Empire, can be written in terms of a strong imperial centre trying control diverse peripheries, it is also true that those peripheries have been extremely important in defining the central characteristics of each of these empires. Cases abound: Prussia came into existence in the Easternmost regions of the German-speaking world, in constant confrontation with Baltic and Slav populations. Its military and political traditions were shaped in an environment, which was totally different from (and alien to) the inhabitants of Saxony, the Rhineland or Württemberg; Russia’s view of the world and of itself was shaped to a large extent by, first, its emancipation from, and later, its conquest of the successor states to the Mongol Golden Horde. From the beginning, it was quintessentially a state on the borderline of Christianity and Islam. Although the roots of Habsburg power lay elsewhere, it is nevertheless no exaggeration to say that it was the struggle against the Muslim Ottoman Turks, first at the gates of Vienna in 1529 and 1683 and later during the conquest of Hungary and the Northern Balkans, which gave the Habsburg Empire its unique character, both as “defender of the faith” and as multinational state. In the emergence and growth of the Ottoman Empire since the Fourteenth Century the border between Islam and (Byzantine) Christendom was likewise of crucial importance.

Towards A Role Ethics Approach to Command Rejection

—It is crucial for robots not only to reason ethically, but also to accurately communicate their ethical intentions; a robot that erroneously communicates willingness to violate moral norms risks losing both trust and esteem, and may risk negatively impacting the moral ecosystem of its human teammates. Previous approaches to enabling moral competence in robots have primarily used norm-based language grounded in deontological ethical theories. In contrast, we present a communication strategy grounded in role-based ethical theories, such as Confucian ethics. We also present a human subjects experiment investigating the differences between the two approaches. Our preliminary results show that, while the role-based approach is equally effective at promoting trust and conveying the robot’s ethical reasoning, it may actually be less effective than the norm-based approach at encouraging certain forms of mindfulness and self-reﬂection.
Knowledge discovery in molecular structure databases

In recent years there has been an explosion of information generated on molecular structures. This information is usually three-dimensional in nature, and is normally appended to the existing molecular database in the form of raw coordinate data. There is a recognized need for new tools to structure, manage, and analyze these data. This thesis presents a knowledge discovery technique, based on a theory of conceptual clustering, in which recurrent associations between molecular constitution and conformation can be discovered in three-dimensional molecular structure databases. These associations are defined in first-order logic as structured concepts, and are maintained in a taxonomy partially ordered by subsumption. The knowledge discovery method is applied to two large molecular structure databases. In the Cambridge Structural Database the technique is used to perform conformational clustering of several small molecule datasets. The resultant conformational templates are evaluated by comparison with hand analyses and statistical clusterings of the same data. In the Protein Data Bank the technique is used to discover recurrent protein motifs which have sequences predictive of their associated structure. The resultant rules two evaluated with respect to the average structural variation of their instances, and according to a test of statistical correlation between sequence and structure. In both molecular structure databases interesting and significant associations were discovered.
Cost increases in the front-end of Norwegian road projects

The investment cost is usually the parameter which attracts the most attention throughout both the front-end phase and the implementation phase of projects. Cost overruns, i.e. unexpected costs incurred in excess of budgeted amounts, have attracted increased attention over the last decades and are the source of much public debate. In many projects, however, even large cost overruns have had little effect on long-term economic viability. Yet in other cases, overruns may comprise a death blow. Cost is particularly well suited as a management parameter because it is expressed quantitatively with great precision and because it is continuously updated. This makes it suitable for making the responsible actors accountable, to gauge progress and performance, and to assess economic viability over time (Samset, 2013).
Semantic Segment of Stimuli Speech Prime Acoustic SFX Babble Keyword

In everyday life, speech is often accompanied by a situationspecific acoustic cue; a hungry bark as you ask ‘Has anyone fed the dog? ’. This paper investigates the effect such cues have on speech intelligibility in noise and evaluates their interaction with the established effect of situation-specific semantic cues. This work is motivated by the introduction of new object-based broadcast formats, which have the potential to optimise intelligibility by controlling the level of individual broadcast audio elements, at point of service. Results of this study show that situation-specific acoustic cues alone can improve word recognition in multi-talker babble by 69.5%, a similar amount to semantic cues. The combination of both semantic and acoustic cues provide further improvement of 106.0% compared with no cues, and 18.7% compared with semantic cues only. Interestingly, whilst increasing subjective intelligibility of the target word, the presence of acoustic cues degraded the objective intelligibility of the speech-based semantic cues by 47.0% (equivalent to reducing the speech level by 4.5 dB). This paper discusses the interactions between the two types of cues and the implications that these results have for assessing and improving the intelligibility of broadcast speech.
