Presidential address for 36th Annual Conference of Japanese Association for Chest Surgery (JACS)

We were honored to hold the 36 Annual Conference of the Japanese Association for Chest Surgery (JACS) here in Osaka. This conference was very memorable for general thoracic surgeons in Osaka, because this is the first time that the JACS annual conference was held in our city. Although Osaka University is one of the leading institutes in Japan, Osaka had not previously hosted this annual conference. The agenda of the presidential address is shown in Table 1. In this article, I mainly cover the first two subjects related to the history of the Department of Surgery of Osaka University; historical events in the field of general thoracic surgery, and clinical practice and research of the thymus, thymoma, and myasthenia gravis. The history of the Department of Surgery is summarized in Figure 1. Osaka University School of Medicine was originally Osaka Prefectural Medical School, which was established in 1881. Dr. Kumagaya was invited from Tokyo Imperial University to be the chief of the Department of Surgery. During the time of Prof. Ogata, Dr. Härtel was invited from Germany in 1922 as a visiting professor and the system of two surgical departments was started. Photos of Prof. Fritz Härtel and his associate professor, Dr. Yoshio Ozawa, are shown in Figure 2. Osaka Imperial University was established in 1931, and then Osaka Prefectural Medical School was promoted and named Osaka Imperial University School of Medicine. Surgery subspecialties were finally united into a single department in 2007, which is now governed by 6 professors. One of the outstanding historical achievements of Osaka University in the field of general thoracic surgery is a longterm survivor who underwent a left pneumonectomy for lung cancer performed by Prof. Ozawa in 1937, as shown in Figure 3 (1). This operation was conducted only 4 years after the first successful pneumonectomy for lung cancer by Prof. Graham in St. Louis. The second outstanding achievement is resection of a tracheal tumor and reconstruction by end-to-end anastomosis of the trachea performed by Prof. Masazumi Maeda in 1969 (2). Prof. Maeda later moved to Kagawa Medical University, and contributed to developments in reconstruction surgery of the trachea and bronchus. The third achievement is establishment of an extended thymectomy for myasthenia gravis by Prof. Akira Masaoka and Prof. Yasumasa Monden in 1979 (Figure 4) (3). The fourth achievement is proposal of a thymoma staging system by Prof. Akira Masaoka in 1981 (Figure 5) (4). This system subsequently became the most common staging Editorial
The Effect of Effective Tax Rates, Leverage, Litigation Costs, Company Size, Institutional Ownership, Public Ownership and the Effectiveness of Audit Committees in Accounting Conservatism at Public Companies LQ45

This study aims to analyze the effect of effective tax rates, leverage, litigation costs, company size, institutional ownership, public ownership and the effectiveness of audit committees in accounting conservatism at public companies LQ45. Data is taken from financial statements presented on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2013-2018. The sample was obtained by a sample of 24 companies with certain criteria from 45 LQ45 public companies. Panel data processing uses Eviews10 to obtain the fixed effect regression equation, t test (partial) and the sensitivity of the effect on public companies (individuals). The results revealed that accounting conservatism was significantly affected by litigation costs (-), company size (+), public ownership (+) and audit committee effectiveness. Accounting conservatism is not influenced by variables effective tax rate, leverage and institutional ownership. The highest positive sensitive effect was on BBNI and the lowest sensitive was on ADRO while the highest negative sensitive influence was on UNVR and the lowest sensitive was on PGAS. Therefore, this research can improve the quality of corporate financial reporting.
Long-Term Effects of Different Nitrogen Levels on Growth, Yield, and Quality in Sugarcane

Nitrogen (N) plays an important role in sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrids) growth and development; however, long-term effects of N application levels on cane and sugar production in different sugarcane cultivars under field conditions remain unclear. In this study, we investigate the agronomic, yield, and quality traits in three sugarcane cultivars (GT11, B9, and ROC22) under different N levels (0, 150, and 300 kg/ha urea) from 2015 to 2019. Continuous four-year field experiments of plant and ratoon crops were carried out by using two-factor split-plot design. The results showed that N fertilizer application improved the tillering rate, stalk diameter, plant height, stalk weight, millable stalks/ha, cane yield, sugar yield and juice rate of cane, and the difference between N application and non-N application was significant. The cane yield, millable stalks/ha, juice rate, and juice gravity purity increased with the increase of N application, but the milled juice brix and sucrose % cane decreased with the increase of N application. The sugar yield was the highest at 150 kg/ha urea application, while the cane yield was the highest at 300 kg/ha urea application. Different N fertilizer application levels significantly regulated the activities of glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT) and glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) and the contents of chlorophyll and nitrate N in plant leaves, which reflected the regulation in nitrogen metabolism and alteration in dry matter production and distribution, cane yield and sugar accumulation in different sugarcane cultivars. During the four-year experiment duration, the cane yield and sugar yield generally showed ROC22 > B9 > GT11. These data suggested that 300 kg/ha urea application was suitable for the plant and first ratoon crops, and 150 kg/ha urea application was suitable for the second and third ratoon crops. Both cane and sugar yields could be the highest in a four-year production cycle under this circumstance.
The quality and standing of school-based Norwegian VET

ABSTRACT The status and quality of vocational education and training (VET) represent a challenge in many countries, including Norway. In recent decades the political goal in Norway has been to ensure that vocational programmes at upper secondary level achieve equal status with academic programmes. Considerable efforts have been made to strengthen the quality of vocational programmes to achieve this. This article presents an analysis of the challenges of the school-based part of Norwegian VET. The analysis is particularly directed at issues of vocational relevance and coherence between the educational content and the qualification needs of the vocations. The aim is to identify the obstacles to relevance and coherence and show the attempts made to strengthen both quality and status.
Prevalence of bullying victimisation and associated factors among in-school adolescents in Mozambique

The study aimed to assess the prevalence of bullying victimisation and its correlates among middle school students in Mozambique. We analysed cross-sectional survey data from the 2015 Mozambique Global School-based Health Survey (GSHS). The sample consisted of 1 918 participants (median age = 15 and interquartile range = 3 years). Past-month bullying victimisation prevalence was 45.5%, infrequent bullying victimisation (1–2 days/month) was, and frequent bullying victimisation (3–30 days/month) was 13.4%. In adjusted multinomial logistic regression analysis, younger age, physical attack, involvement in physical fight, injury, sexual debut, and psychological distress were associated with bullying victimisation experience. Almost half of the school students with bullying victimisation experience reported with a history of interpersonal violence and injury and psychological distress. This suggests the need for interventions to prevent or support learners with bullying victimisation experience to take into account antecedent predisposing risk factors to bullying victimisation.
Validity and Reliability of Turkish version of Vaccination Confidence Scale for Parents

Aim The aim of this study was to conduct a validity and reliability of the Vaccination Confidence Scale and to determine the knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of parents regarding childhood vaccinations. Method This methodological study consisted of parents of 8th grade students in three districts of Istanbul from March 1 to May 1, 2017 (n=263). Data were collected using a questionnaire developed by the researcher and the Vaccination Confidence Scale. Results The Vaccination Confidence Scale was found to be valid and reliable in this study. Seventy-six percent of the parents had had their children vaccinated with all the vaccines that the Ministry of Health recommended. There was no statistical difference between the overall score and the subscale scores of the parents on the Vaccination Confidence Scale (p>0.05). Conclusion The Vaccination Confidence Scale may be used to assess the confidence parents have in vaccinations.Healthcare professionals should accurately inform families about vaccination calendars so that vaccinations can be carried out in time.
The generation of non-ordinary state-based peridynamics by the weak form of the peridynamic method

A weak form of the peridynamic (PD) method derived from the classical Galerkin framework by substituting the traditional derivatives into the PD differential operators is proposed. The attractive features of the proposed weak form of PD method include the following: (1) a higher-order approximation than the non-ordinary state-based peridynamic (NOSB-PD) in the strain construction; (2) the NOSB-PD is demonstrated as a special case of the weak form of the PD method; (3) as an extension of the NOSB-PD, the zero-energy mode oscillations in the weak form of the PD can be significantly reduced by introducing higher-order PD derivatives. In addition, a series of numerical tests are conducted. The results show the following: (1) the three proposed stabilization items containing higher-order PD derivatives have a better accuracy and stability than the traditional items of the NOSB-PD. In particular, the stress point stabilization item is preferred since it has the highest accuracy and efficiency and does not introduce any additional parameters; (2) the weak form of PD method is very suitable in dealing with the crack propagation and bifurcation problems.
2-D MIMO Radar: A Method for Array Performance Assessment and Design of a Planar Antenna Array

In this article, a method for the assessment of the performance and for the design of a 2-D-array for multiple input multiple output (2-D-MIMO) radar applications is presented. The proposed approach is based on the analysis of the ambiguity function associated with the array. Such analysis leads to the definition of an area in the 2-D-angular field-of-view of the radar, denoted as ambiguity-free region, characterized by a low probability to obtain ambiguities in direction of arrival estimation. Simulations of a basic 2-D-MIMO array are used to explain the proposed method, which is then employed as the main criterion for the optimization of a 2-D-MIMO sparse array composed of four transmitters and eight receivers. The optimization is performed through a genetic algorithm. The resulted element positions guarantee an ambiguity-free region span in the azimuth and elevation angles greater than 120° and angular resolutions of 8° and 5.9° on the azimuth and elevation angles, respectively. The optimized positions are then used to realize a 2-D-MIMO sparse array that is integrated in a radar system operating at a center frequency of 76.5 GHz. Such an array is calibrated, and comparisons between the simulated and measured ambiguity functions show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
The Mental Emotional Disorder Pattern: Study of National Basic Health Research 2007, 2013, and 2018

Riset kesehatan dasar (Riskesdas) in 2007, 2013 and 2018 showed the prevalence of mental emotional disorder were 11.6%, 6.0% and 9.8% respectively. This study aims to describe mental emotional pattern among Indonesian and to compare the symptoms based on three Riskesdas. Riskesdas was a population survey. Inclusion criteria were people ≥15 years old and able to answer questions. Self-reporting questionnaire (SRQ) consisted of 20 questions was used to assess mental emotional disorder. Subject was indicated mental emotional disorder if they have “yes” answer minimum in 6 questions. A statistical program SPSS 22.0 was used to analyze data. STATA map version 14.00 to visualize the prevalence among provinces was applied. Headache, sleep disturbance, poor appetite, and easily tired were the most frequent symptoms appeared in general population. While thinking of ending life, not feeling life is useful, feeling worthless, loss of interest in life, daily work is suffering were the most frequent symptoms in people with mental emotional disorder. Even though there were different prevalence of mental emotional disorder between 2007, 2013 and 2018 but the pattern of most symptoms both in general population and people with mental emotional disorder are similar.
Normative Thyroid Volume by Ultrasonography in a Nigerian Pediatric Population

The objective was to establish normal thyroid volume in healthy infants and children, in a select Nigerian population. Using a portable ultrasound equipment with a 7.5-MHz transducer, 500 apparently healthy pediatric patients were sonographically evaluated. The volume for each thyroid lobe was obtained, as well as the summation of both left and right thyroid volumes, which represented the total volume. The mean and median thyroid volumes for the subgroups were 0.69 ± 0.38 cm3/0.7 cm3 (<1 year), 1.50 ± 0.68 cm3/1.4 cm3 (1–5 years), 2.75 ± 0.94 cm3/2.6 cm3 (6–10 years), 4.47 ± 2.83 cm3/3.7 cm3 (11–15 years), and 7.47 ± 4.81 cm3/5.9 cm3 (16 and 17 years). There was a significant difference (P = .000) between the population studied and the World Health Organization/International Council for Control of Iodine Deficiency Disorders reference values. The baseline values derived for thyroid dimensions may form the basis for thyroid screening in these asymptomatic children.
How Can Pluralistic Organizations Proceed with Strategic Change? A Processual Account of Rhetorical Contestation, Convergence, and Partial Agreement in a Nordic City Organization

This study examines how pluralistic organizations confronting fundamental differences in values can proceed with strategic change. By drawing on a longitudinal case analysis of strategic change in a Nordic city organization, we show how the proponents and challengers play a “rhetorical game” in which they simultaneously promote their own value-based interests and ideas and seek ways to enable change. In particular, we identify a pattern in which the discussion moved from initial contestation through gradual convergence to increasing agreement. In addition, we elaborate on four rhetorical practices used in this rhetorical game: voicing own arguments, appropriation of others’ arguments, consensus argumentation, and collective we argumentation. By so doing, our study contributes to research on strategic change in pluralistic organizations by offering a nuanced account of the use of rhetoric when moving from contestation to convergence and partial agreement. Furthermore, by detailing specific types of rhetorical practices that play a crucial role in strategy making, our study advances research on the role of rhetoric in strategy process and practice research more generally.
Do Auditors Provide Compliance Assurance For Regulatory Requirements Besides Verification of Information in the Annual Report? Evidence from Laddering Arrangements

We investigate whether auditors can detect shareholder expropriation by the parties in control of the firm’s resources at the time of an initial public offering (IPO). Our tests are conducted on a unique sample of IPOs where illegal laddering arrangements have been explicitly identified by regulators in Securities and Exchange Commission settlement agreements. Protecting clients against resource diversion occurring in these transactions is beyond the auditor’s formal auditing responsibilities. However, providing this protection is consistent with a hypothesis that self-interested auditors will play a protectionist role to avoid potential legal costs and reputational damages associated with inappropriate resource diversion by corporate insiders. Our findings indicate that higher assurance service levels are associated with laddering cases and the probability that a laddering arrangement has been made is associated with lower audit quality. Overall, the results suggest that auditors may play an investor protection role beyond the verification of financial statement information in the market for new issues.
The complete plastid genome of Stenotaphrum subulatum Trin. (Panicoideae) and phylogenetic analysis

Abstract The complete plastid genome of Stenotaphrum subulatum Trin. was determined and analyzed in this work. The plastid genome was 139,282 bp in length with 82,220 bp of the large single-copy (LSC) region, 12,392 bp of the small single-copy (SSC) region, and 22,335 bp of the invert repeats (IR) regions. The genome contained 136 genes, 87 protein-coding genes, 41 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The maximum likelihood（ML）phylogenetic tree suggested that S. subulatum Trin. is closely to S. secundatum.
Response of Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp] Genotypes under Residual Moisture Condition in Rice-Fallow Area of Goa State, India

A field experiment was conducted during rabi season 2018-19 to study the response of 23 cowpea genotypes grown under residual moisture condition in rice-fallow situation of Goa state. Analysis of variance revealed significant differences among the genotypes for all the eleven characters, justifying the selection of genotypes for the study. The estimate of Phenotypic Coefficient of Variation (PCV) and Genotypic Coefficient of Variation (GCV) were high (>20%) for seed yield, straw yield, pods per plant and 100 seed weight. Heritability and genetic advance as per cent mean estimates were high for most of the characters except for days to 50 per cent flowering, days to maturity and plant height. Characters plant height, pods per plant, straw yield and harvest index showed positive and significant association with seed yield. Path analysis based on seed yield, as a dependent variable, revealed that straw yield and harvest index had the highest positive direct effect on seed yield. Therefore, maximum importance should be given to these traits during the selection for achieving the higher seed yield under rice-fallow situation. Three promising genotypes identified from this study viz., PCP-1131, SKAU-C- 407 and RC 101 would serve as dual-purpose cowpea under rice-fallow areas due to their high seed yield and straw yield
Respectfully distrusting ‘Students as Partners’ practice in higher education: applying a Mad politics of partnership

ABSTRACT As a Mad person affiliated with Mad/psychiatric survivor/disability movements, participating in pedagogical partnerships over the past four years has been confusing and ethically fraught. Through engagement with the scholarship on Students as Partners (SaP) practice in higher education, the emerging discipline of Mad(ness) Studies, and my own experiences as a ‘partner’ on various projects, this paper seeks to synthesize a Mad politics of student-staff partnership in the academy. These politics are explored through four themes: (1) Equity? Attention to power dynamics and resulting trauma; (2) Interpersonal concord and consensus? Anger, conflict and collective action; (3) Mutual collaboration? Independence and survivor-led/controlled initiatives; (4) Inclusion? Partnership barriers and possibilities for Mad/disabled students. I end by proposing a politics of respectful distrust as Mad Studies and Mad/disabled people further explore opportunities for coalition-building and alliance with SaP colleagues.
Effect of fat replacement by fructooligosaccharide in hamburger: physicochemical, technological and sensorial analysis

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of fat substitution by fructooligosaccharide on physicochemical, technological and sensory characteristics of hamburgers. Five hamburgers formulations were prepared: F1 - standard (0% FOS) and the others added 1.25% (F2), 2.50% (F3), 3.75% (F4) and 5% (F5) of FOS. The Acceptability similar to standard sample was found for hamburgers with up to 3.75% prebiotic addition. However, all formulations had acceptability index above 70%. Cooking yield, moisture retention, shrinkage and fat retention have been increased as FOS was added. Substitution of fat by FOS increased carbohydrate and fiber content and decreased lipid and calorie hamburgers content. FOS addition did not change red and yellow values, however it increased brightness of product. FOS is an ingredient with potential for addition in beef hamburger, improving physicochemical and technological parameters and with little influence on sensory characteristics.
Landau–Devonshire derived phase diagram of the BiFeO3­–PbTiO3 solid solution

Since the construction of the first structural phase diagram of the BiFeO3–PbTiO3 solid solution, there has been ambiguity as to the true location of the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB). In this study, a Landau–Devonshire derived phase diagram has been constructed in order to provide a mathematically derived perspective. The compositional dependence on properties has been modeled as a linear dependence between the Landau coefficients of each end member. It is found that the only structural phases found below TC are rhombohedral and tetragonal, which at 25 °C shows an MPB at 0.696BiFeO3–0.304PbTiO3. The MPB also shows temperature dependence similar to other ferroelectric solid solutions in which the tetragonal–rhombohedral phase transition moves toward higher BiFeO3 contents at higher temperatures. Although the replication of the experimentally observed phase diagram can be constructed, this method is found to be insufficient for describing the spontaneous strain behavior.
