Department of Breast Surgery, Tenri Hospital, Tenri, Japan Abstract: Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer is a distinct subset of breast cancer that results from overexpression of HER2 protein. Pertuzumab—a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody that binds to the extracellular dimerization domain II of HER2—was recently approved for adjuvant therapy and neoadjuvant therapy of HER2positive early breast cancer. As pertuzumab and trastuzumab bind to different domains of the extracellular dimerization domain of HER2, a combination therapy of pertuzumab and trastuzumab is beneficial for the treatment of metastatic cancer, advanced local cancer, or early cancer by dual HER2 blockage. Many clinical trials have been performed using pertuzumab for breast cancer patients; these include the CLEOPATRA trial for palliative therapy, the APHINITY trial for adjuvant therapy, and the NeoSphere and the TRYPHAENA trials for neoadjuvant therapy. These trials revealed pertuzumab to be a safe and effective drug regardless of the patient age and hormone receptor status. Notably, pertuzumab use was associated with severe cardiac toxicity in some cases; however, the risk of pertuzumab-induced cardiac dysfunction was low. The most common adverse effect associated with pertuzumab-use was diarrhea, but most cases were not severe. Several different chemotherapeutic agents have been investigated to determine optimal chemotherapeutic combinations for dual HER2 blockage. Some exploratory analyses indicate that pertuzumab treatment offered little benefit to patients with node-negative and small primary tumors; pertuzumab treatment was also found not be cost-effective. Further research will reveal the appropriate usage of pertuzumab for treating a subset of eligible patients.
Effect of Existential Group Therapy on the promotion of Mood in women after Myocardial Infarction

Present study was performed with the main goal of investigating the effect of existential group therapy on the promotion of mood in women after myocardial infarction (MI). Studies in two decades have presented relationship between depression, cardiovascular disease and mortality. The subjects were selected by using convenient sampling method from the list of women after MI. 24 subjects selected (12 persons in each group). Then the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) with a reliability ratio of 0.86 was performed as pre-test and post-test. The experimental group was subjected to the intervention of existential group therapy. After a 12-session treatment (3 months, each session being tow hours) in excremental group in order to measure the dependant variable (depression), Beck Depression Inventory was performed as post-test. The results of statistical analysis of T-test supported the main hypothesis (verified with a significant value of p= 14% and reliability of 95%) and secondary hypothesis (verified with a significant value pf p= 01% and reliability of 95%). As a result, existential group therapy in comparison with control group would significantly reduce the amount of depression in women after MI.
Talking about ICT in the classroom : Gender differences in language when using technology

According to the Swedish curriculum, equality in the classroom has to be practised at all levels of the educational system. What equal learning conditions mean can of course be interpreted in different ways. Giving all pupils the same instructions can be one way of seeing it, giving more help to those who do not understand as quickly another. My interpretation of the Swedish curriculum is that teaching should be differentiated so that all pupils can more easily reach a certain level of competence.
University of Birmingham Studies on the solidification path of single crystal superalloys

Single crystal superalloys are widely used in high temperature sections of turbines, where they are able to withstand extended exposure to high temperatures. As these alloys are commonly cast and directionally solidiﬁed via the Bridgman process, the knowledge of their solidiﬁcation path is of great importance. This paper gives an overview of aspects of the solidiﬁcation path in superalloys, as studied experimentally and from a modeling and simulation point of view. The implications of microsegregation, and sequence of phase formation are discussed. Attention is given to the processes leading to the formation of interdendritic c ¢ , also often referred to as the c / c ¢ eutectic.
CHANGES IN CHARACTERISTICS OF UNITED STATES SNOWFALL OVER THE LAST HALF OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY

Several recent studies have reported that large portions of the midand high-latitude land areas of the Northern Hemisphere (including much of the United States) have experienced increasing precipitation over the last half of the 20 century (e.g., Karl et al., 1993, 1998; Groisman et al. 1993). In regions of the United States experiencing increased precipitation there has also been an increase in the number of “extreme” precipitation events, defined as daily amounts greater then 50.8 mm (2 inches) of liquid precipitation (Karl et al., 1998). Interestingly, along with these significant changes, recent research has found that Northern Hemisphere annual snow-cover extent (SCE) has decreased by about 10% since 1966 (IPCC, 2001), mainly resulting from spring and summer decreases since the mid-1980s over Eurasia and North America (Robinson, 1997, 1999), with winter and summer SCE showing no statistically significant change. Add to all this the most well-known evidence of recent climate change—a global average warming of nearsurface air temperature of about 0.6°C since the late 19 century (IPCC, 2001)—and we have an interesting climate picture indeed, involving extremely complex interactions between the various components of the global climate system. Given the plethora of interesting and important climate questions being currently studied, we sought in this paper to examine a climate variable related to all those referred to above that has been studied relatively little by comparison: that of trends in snowfall.
Sources of Momentum Profits

The purpose of the paper is to examine sources of momentum profits in relation to macroeconomic and firm specific variables under different market states; and to examine the effect of conditioning of the state of the market on the profitability of momentum strategies. The other intent was to find the relative importance of GDP, bond yield, dividend yield, idiosyncratic volatility, liquidity and price-earnings ratio. Using monthly data from National Stock Exchange (NSE) for a period of 20 years, regression was used to find results. It helps in understanding of the drivers of momentum profits in different market states, in India.
A Calibration of the Modulated Wideband Converters with Practical and Unsophisticated Pilot Signals

We propose a calibration algorithm for the modulated wideband converters (MWC). The MWC is a sub-Nyquist sampler, which compresses and samples a wideband signal at the sub-Nyquist rate. For the reconstruction of the wide band signal from the compressed samples in the hardwareimplemented MWC, a calibration of the actual system transfer is essential. Our algorithm well calibrates the actual system transfer with the negligible error by using pilot signals. The main advantage is that the algorithm does not require accurate phase of the pilot signals.
Invasion of alien macroalgae in the Venice Lagoon, a pest or a resource?

Alien macroalgae, mostly invasive species, are a constant concern for coastal areas, especially in the northern Adriatic Sea where several taxa have colonized the main transitional environments. A revision of the alien macroalgae in the Venice Lagoon shows that, currently, the number of valid non-indigenous species (NIS) is 29, and this number is growing steadily. On the basis of numerous surveys carried out in the last decade the total alien standing crop (SC) was estimated to be ca. 146,534 tonnes fresh weight (fw), i.e. 32% of the total species SC (ca. 456,000 tonnes fw) measured in May–June 2014 in the whole lagoon. The most abundant species were the invasive Agarophyton vermiculophyllum (approx. 66,383 tonnes fw), Agardhiella subulata and Hypnea cervicornis (approx. 36,714 and 28,305 tonnes fw, respectively). These species grow mainly free-floating and usually colonize the soft substrata of the lagoon. Two other invasive species, Sargassum muticum and Undaria pinnatifida, grow mainly on the docks of Venice historical centre, therefore their distribution is significantly more limited. Recent studies have shown that A. vermiculophyllum in protected, eutrophic areas produced a biomass of approx. 24 kg fw m y. This species can replace Ulvaceae with positive effects on the environment and the presence of macrofaunal taxa. Indeed, historical data analysis shows that, despite the high presence of NIS, biodiversity is increasing. In addition, A. vermiculophyllum, S. muticum, U. pinnatifida, A. subulata and Solieria filiformis may be promising species for phycocolloid and antioxidant or cosmetic productions.
HIV Health Seeking Behaviour Patterns: Perspectives of Male Boda-Boda Operators in Homa-Bay County, Kenya

The mobility of the transport sector makes it difficult to access health information and treatment and/or maintain a drug regimen. Generally, population record low levels of service utilization. The study adopted three theories, key among the theories was theory of reasoned action due to the fact that it sees a person’s behavior as an intention which is a function of one’s attitude towards behavior and their subjective norm. This was a mixed methods descriptive crosssectional study. The study targeted male boda-boda operators who were aged between 20-40 years. The sample size for the study was 122. In the thematic analysis health seeking behavour among boda-boda operators is influenced by a number of factors ranging from facility factors, individual factors to provider factors. Individual boda-boda operators have their own preferences for services and where they would like to get treatment including acquisition of services. Stigma and discrimination around HIV is still a very strong correlate to use of services including testing. Provider factors such in which the operators fear that their HIV status and treatment cycles would be known to other people act as a deterrent to services acquisition. 37.7% of the operators were critical to the fact that confidentiality was a key factor in facilitation of service utilization while 62.3% indicated that they preferred closer Health facilities. Time was also critical to seeking for health services. The study recommends to the National government through NACC to increase knowledge levels on HIV/AIDS and importance of adherence.
CENTRE FOR ECONOMETRIC ANALYSIS CEA@Cass

This paper considers estimation and testing of the time of the structural break in a regression with possibly strongly dependent data. Statistical properties of the estimator depend on the assumption made on the size of the break. Specifically, when the size of break is fixed, the asymptotic distribution depends on the entire joint distribution of the regressors and the error term. When the size of break is shrinking, the asymptotic distribution of breakpoint depends only on the second moments of data. When the break is weak, that is when its magnitude is shrinking too fast, the time of break is not estimable. For the shrinking break, hypotheses on the time of break can be carried out on the basis of the asymptotic distribution. However, since asymptotic tests do not always approximate finite sample tests well, we propose a valid bootstrap approximation of the asymptotic tests and demonstrate its performance in small samples by Monte Carlo simulation.
Dealing with stress during tennis competition. The association of approach- and avoidance-coping with metacognition and achievement goal theory perspectives

The present study investigated the relations between different forms coping during tennis competition, with players’ metacognitive processes during training, their achievement goals and their perceptions about the motivational climate coaches create. Two hundred and twenty six (n = 226) national level Greek tennis players (105: male, 118: female, 4: did not declare gender), aged 15.21±2.32 with 6.8±2.68 years of tennis experience participated the study. The results of a series of regression analyses revealed that metacognition during tennis training contributed to the explanation of a significant amount of variance of all the approach-coping forms that were examined. Mastery goal was also a significant predictor of the variance of two approach-coping forms whereas it was negatively related with two of the avoidance-coping forms. Performance goals and climates were positively related with the avoidance-coping forms. These findings indicate that metacognitive thinking in training and mastery goals and climates should be endorsed in tennis because they support the use of approachcoping behaviours in stressful situations during competition.
The Cost of Risk Management: Evidence from a Quasi-Experiment

This paper explores how the cost of risk management varies by firm type. I exploit a natural experiment in highway procurement, which features diverse firms with common exposure to commodity risk. The Kansas government began to insure highway-paving firms against oil price risk in 2006. With a difference-in-differences design using data from 1998 to 2012, I evaluate the policy’s effect in Kansas relative to Iowa, which never introduced such a policy. I show that the policy reduced procurement costs, increased competition, and reduced bid sensitivity to oil price volatility. I find the most risk pass-through among private firms with high credit risk and low industry diversification, and no pass-through for public firms. Family-owned firms do not have a higher cost of risk. Financial constraints and distress costs appear to best explain the cost of risk management, rather than risk aversion, information, or agency problems.
Giving in the bedroom

A common reason why people in ongoing romantic relationships report engaging in sex with their partner—in addition to pursuing their own pleasure—is to meet their partner’s sexual needs. While meeting a partner’s needs with responsiveness and care is crucial in romantic relationships, it is important, especially in the domain of sexuality, that people do not neglect their own needs when meeting the needs of their partner. In a 21-day daily experience study of both members of 122 romantic couples recruited from the community, we tested whether being responsive to a partner’s sexual needs (i.e., high sexual communal strength) and focusing on a partner’s needs while neglecting one’s own needs (i.e., high unmitigated sexual communion) were associated with both partners’ daily sexual and relationship satisfaction. We also tested attention to positive partner-focused and negative self-focused cues during the sexual experience as novel mechanisms of these effects. The results generally showed that on days when people (or their romantic partner) reported higher sexual communal strength, they reported greater attention to positive partner-focused sexual cues and, in turn, both partners experienced greater daily sexual and relationship satisfaction. In contrast, on days when people reported higher unmitigated sexual communion, they reported greater attention to negative self-focused sexual cues and, in turn, experienced lower relationship and sexual satisfaction, although these effects did not extend to their romantic partner. Implications of the results for promoting higher quality sexual experiences and relationships are discussed. 1 University of Toronto Mississauga, Canada 2 York University, Canada 3 Carleton University, Canada Corresponding author: Emily A.

Mediating Role of Trust Brief in SMEs’ Strategic Choice of Cloud Service

This study draws on organizational-environmental framework and trust research to investigate SMEs’ transformation toward cloud service. This study regards cloud service transformation as a strategic choice of SMEs and highlights organizations’ trust based rationality. This study develops a research model in which SMEs’ trust belief on cloud service mediates the effects of the organizational-environmental determinants on SMEs’ strategic choice. A survey involving 107 Chinese SMEs was conducted to validate the research model. The results from empirical data provide strong supports on the hypotheses. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
New concept in clinical care: proposal of a moral intelligence scale

Effective communication, especially of those health professionals in management positions, contributes to the entire process of treating patients and can transform the quality of service into the processes of diagnosis, treatment and care. Managers with moral intelligence are able to distinguish right from wrong and can facilitate the relationship between health professionals and patients. "e purpose of this study is to develop a scale to measure moral intelligence. "e measurement tool created by the Lawshe method was applied to 789 health professionals. Following the calculations of the Content Validity Ratio and the Content Validity Index, the scale included 77 items. After applying it, with the subsequent exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, the scale received its final form with 47 items. "e Cα value of the scale is 0.966. "e scale has seven dimensions, and they have been defined as “equality”, “empathy”, “moral intelligence”, “justice”, “tolerance”, “self-control” and “kindness”. "e Cα values for these dimensions are determined respectively as 0.922, 0.910, 0.874, 0.859, 0.799, 0.840 and 0.772; demonstrating that the scale allows to study the moral intelligence of nurses and doctors. "e scale developed had high Cronbach alpha values for each component and element, indicating that the scale provides a survey with high validity to measure the moral intelligence of doctors and nurses. Factor analysis shows a statistically valid distribution of items and components.Taking into account the moral intelligence parameters in the provision of health services will contribute to accurately diagnose disorders, reduce patient anxiety, ensure a shorter hospital stay, reduce the number of patients transferred to other health centers, to prevent negligence, save time and achieve better workforce planning.
Effect and safety of arterial thrombolysis added to solitaire AB stents interventional treatment in acute ischemic stroke

Objective: To assess the effect and safety of arterial thrombolysis added to solitaire AB stents interventional therapy in the management of acute ischemic stroke. Methods: Between June 2014 and March 2016, we randomly assigned 72 patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) treated in our hospital to receive thrombi thrombus and arterial thrombolysis (the control group, n = 36) or solitaire AB stent interventional therapy combined with thrombi thrombus and arterial thrombolysis (the treatment group, n = 36) and by the lot drawing method. The revascularization, the NIHSS scores, cognitive scores and activities of daily living (ADL) scores on day 21 after operation were compared between the two groups. The clinical effect and complications on day 90 postoperatively were also evaluated. Results: The revascularization rate (97.22%, 35/36) was significantly higher in the treatment group versus the control group (80.56%, 29/36) (P = 0.028), and the revascularization period was markedly shorter than that in the control group (P<0.001). The NIHSS score on day 21 after operation was lower in the treatment group than the control group (P<0.001), but the scores of cognition and activities of daily living were higher in the treatment group as compared to the control group (P<0.001). The clinical effect on day 90 postoperatively was significantly improved in the treatment group (P = 0.022), whereas the incidence of complications was significantly different (P = 0.614). Conclusion: Arterial thrombolysis added to neurological interventional therapy shows beneficial effect in patients with acute ischemic stroke ad can promote revascularization, thus it is worthy of extensive use in clinical practices.

IMPLICIT AND EXPLICIT ATTITUDES TOWARD PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES AND EFFECTS OF THE INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL SOURCES OF MOTIVATION TO MODERATING PREJUDICE

The present study investigated implicit and explicit attitudes toward people with disabilities and examined the effects of internal versus external source of motivation to respond without prejudice. The implicit and explicit attitudes of undergraduate students (N = 109) toward people with disabilities were measured, and the effects of both kinds of motivation in regulating prejudice were investigated. The results were as follows: undergraduate students had positive explicit attitudes toward people with disabilities; however, they were also found to have negative implicit attitudes toward people with disabilities; and high internal motivation to regulate prejudice effectively moderated implicit attitudes toward people with disabilities. We discuss possible ways to effectively moderate prejudice in education.
