Idiopathic Plasmacytic Lymphadenopathy with Polyclonal Hyperimmunoglobulinemia and Pleural Effusion Takanori Mori, Kayo Maeda, Kiichi Hasunuma, Hideki Takahashi, Takashi Dambara, Kenji Tamayose, Kazuo Oshimi, Hideaki Miyamoto, Shigeru Tominaga, Toshimasa Uekusaand Yoshinosuke Fukuchi Department of Respiratory Medicine, Department of Hematology Medicine, Department of Thoracic Surgery, Juntendo University Medical School, Tokyo, Japan Internal Medicine of Juntendo Urayasu Hospital, Chiba, Japan Department of Pathology, Labour Welfare Coorperation Kanto Rosai Hospital, Kanagawa, Japan A 56-year-old man was admitted for further evaluation of mediastinal lymphadenopathy and left pleural effusion. A blood test revealed polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia with an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate and level of C-reactive protein. Chest computed tomography disclosed bilateral hilar and multiple mediastinal lymph-node swelling and bilateral pleural thickening accompanied by a moderate amount of left pleural effusion. Biopsy specimens from mediastinal lymph nodes and the right pleura were obtained under video-assisted thoracoscopy. Histology on microscopic examination demonstrated mature plasma cells and lymphocyte infiltration in the conserved lymph-node structure and the pleura, suggesting a diagnosis of idiopathic plasmacytic lymphadenopathy(IPL)with polyclonal hyperimmunoglobulinemia. Interestingly, IL-6 was elevated in the pleural effusion but normal in serum. This was a rare and instructive case of IPL accompanied by pleural effusion that was considered to be an important determinant of the clinical spectrum of the disease. 292 日呼吸会誌 38(4),2000.
Prospect Theory and Currency Returns ∗

We empirically investigate the role of prospect theory in the FX market. Using the historical distribution of exchange rate changes, we construct a currency-level measure of prospect theory value and show that it forecasts future currency excess returns. High prospect theory value currencies significantly underperform low prospect theory value currencies. The predictability is higher during periods of excessive speculative demand of irrational traders and when arbitrage is limited. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that investors mentally represent the portfolio of currencies by their historical distributions or charts and evaluate this distribution in the way described by prospect theory.

Air Pollution and Manufacturing Firm Productivity:

We provide nationwide estimates of air pollution’s effect on short-run labor productivity for manufacturing firms in China from 1998 to 2007. An emerging literature estimates air pollution’s effects on labor productivity but only for small groups of workers of particular occupations or firms. To provide more comprehensive estimates necessary for policy analysis, we estimate effects for all but some small firms (90% of China’s manufacturing output) and capture all channels by which pollution influences productivity. We instrument for reverse causality between pollution and output using thermal inversions. Our causal estimates imply that a one μμg/m3 decrease in PM2.5 (SO2) increases labor productivity by 0.011% (0.036%) with an elasticity of -0.58 (-0.54). Lowering PM2.5 (SO2) by 1% nationwide through methods other than reducing manufacturing output would generate annual productivity increases of CNY 74.1 (69.7) thousand for the average firm and CNY 11.8 (11.1) billion or 0.079% (0.075%) of GDP across all firms. Improving air quality generates substantial productivity benefits and these should be considered in evaluating environmental regulations and their effect on firm competitiveness.

Do law enforcement interactions reduce the initiation of injection drug use? An investigation in three North American settings

Background: The prevention of drug injecting is often cited as a justification for the deployment of law enforcement and for the continuation of drug criminalization policies. We sought to characterize the impact of law enforcement interactions on the risk that people who inject drugs (PWID) report assisting others with injection initiation in three North American countries. Methods: Cross-sectional data from PWID participating in cohort studies in three cities (San Diego, USA; Tijuana, Mexico; Vancouver, Canada) were pooled (August 2014–December 2016). The dependent variable was defined as recently (i.e., past six months) providing injection initiation assistance; the primary independent variable was the frequency of recent law enforcement interactions, defined categorically (0 vs. 1 vs. 2–5 vs. ≥6). We employed multivariable logistic regression analyses to assess this relationship while controlling for potential con-
Impact of Electronic Word of Mouth on Brand Image and Purchase Intention towards Lifestyle Products in India

The expansion of the Internet has enabled customers to quickly and conveniently interact with other customers and has established the phenomenon known as electronic word ofmouth (eWOM). This easier, wider and faster medium of communication is not restricted to strong social tie groups, thus the message itself plays a critical role in creating the brand image and persuading purchase intention. The present study attempts to examine the extent to which eWOM can influence brand image and purchase intention in the lifestyle products in the Indian context. Based on the information obtained from 313 respondents who had experience within the online communities, this paper analyses the impact of eWOM, brand image and purchase intention using structural equation modeling. The results obtained show the significant impact of eWOM on brand image andthe mediating role of the brand image between eWOM and purchase intention. The present study recommends that marketers should put greater emphasis on eWOM in order to maximize brand popularity that resultantly would influence consumers' purchase intention.
Eosinophilic Fasciitis of Wrists with a Positive Prayer Sign

Eosinophilic fasciitis (EF) is an uncommon disease of unknown etiology and is characterized by inflammation and thickening of the muscular fascia and subcutaneous tissue. The patients often have peripheral eosinophilia, increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and hypergammaglobulinemia. In EF, the skin of the hands and feet are generally spared. Herein we present a case of EF of the wrists with a positive prayer sign and good response to corticosteroid and methotrexate. It is important to emphasize that a positive prayer sign might be the first symptom of EF. The combination regimen of systemic corticosteroids and methotrexate is recommended.
Effect of β-glucanase on Performance, Carcass Characteristics, Microflora, Plasma Constitutes and Immunity in Local Broiler Hybrid “Golpayegani-Ross”

The Gram negative bacterium Fibrobacter succinogenes lives anaerobically in the bovine rumen and secretes β-glucanase. Barley is a cheap food input for poultry production but it is low in nutrients due to its beta glucan content. Supplementing exogenous β-glucanase (EC 3.2.1.4) to broiler diets can decrease the viscosity of the intestinal content by hydrolyzing the β-glucan and enhancing nutrient digestibility. In the current study, β-glucanase enzymatic activity was assayed after extraction from bovine rumen fluid, and then its effect on broiler performance, carcass characteristics, duodenum microbial flora, hematological and immunological parameters was compared with a commercial enzyme. A total of 120 local broilers (Golpayegani-Ross hybrid) was allocated to 3 treatments with 4 replicates per treatment and 10 birds per replicate/pen. Over a 49-day experimental period, broilers were fed a basal diet (T1), basal diet with 10 IU of extracted β-glucanase and 20% barley (T2) and basal diet with 10 IU of commercial β-glucanase and 20% barley (T3). T2 significantly increased body weight gain and decreased feed intake over the whole experimental period. Treatments had a significant effect on hematological parameters except low density lipoprotein (LDL) concentration (P<0.01). Treatments did not affect antibody titration. The highest non-eviscerated carcass weight (P<0.05) and eviscerated carcass weight (P>0.05) were associated with the T2. The same treatment also caused a significant increase in lactobacilli and Escherichia coli in the gastrointestinal tract. Consequently, enzyme addition had a positive effect on broiler performance without any adverse effects on humoral immunity parameters.
Vibroacoustic Disease and Respiratory Pathology I-Tumors

636] BACKGROUND. Malignancy in vibroacoustic disease (VAD) patients has been under close surveillance since 1987. To date, in a universe of 945 individuals, there are 41 cases of malignancies, 9 are multiple. Low frequency noise (<500 Hz, including infrasound) (LFN) is a genotoxic agent, increasing the frequency of sister chromatid exchanges in LFN-exposed organisms. To date, all 10 cases of respiratory tract tumors in VAD patients are squamous cell carcinomas (SCC). This report focuses on the morphological features of these tumors. METHODS. Tumoural fragments were collected (endoscopic biopsy/ surgery) from 10 male VAD patients (ave. age: 50 +/5 years, 3 non-smokers): 2 in glottis and 8 in the lung. In 3 non-smokers, 2 had lung tumors and 1 had a glottis tumour. All were employed or retired in LFN-rich environments. Fragments were prepared for light and electron microscopy. Immunohistochemistry studies used chromagranine and synaptophysine staining. RESULTS. All lung tumors were in the upper right lobe bronchioles and, were histologically poorly differentiated SCC. Neuroendocrine markers were negative in all cases. Eight of the patients are deceased, including the 3 non-smokers. The 2 surviving patients are heavy smokers (more than 2 packs/day). DISCUSSION. SCC account for approximately 40% of all lung tumors in men. It is not surprising that military helicopter pilots are affected the earliest because this group of workers exhibited the highest values for the frequency of sister chromatid exchanges. Given the results herein, specifying the exact histological type of tumour in all statistical studies is of the utmost importance.
A Qualitative Evaluation Framework for Paraphrase Identification

In this paper, we present a new approach for the evaluation, error analysis, and interpretation of supervised and unsupervised Paraphrase Identification (PI) systems. Our evaluation framework makes use of a PI corpus annotated with linguistic phenomena to provide a better understanding and interpretation of the performance of various PI systems. Our approach allows for a qualitative evaluation and comparison of the PI models using human interpretable categories. It does not require modification of the training objective of the systems and does not place additional burden on the developers. We replicate several popular supervised and unsupervised PI systems. Using our evaluation framework we show that: 1) Each system performs differently with respect to a set of linguistic phenomena and makes qualitatively different kinds of errors; 2) Some linguistic phenomena are more challenging than others across all systems.
GENETIC DIVERSITY AND POPULATION STRUCTURE OF QUINOA (CHENOPODIUM QUINOA WILLD.) USING IPBS- RETROTRANSPOSONS MARKERS

Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is a nutritionally important plant with a good protein quality and a high concentration of vitamins and minerals. It has been cultured for several thousand years in South America. In this study, we investigated the use of inter-primer binding site (iPBS) for the molecular characterization of 17 quinoa genotypes (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) cultivated in Turkey. For this purpose, 25 iPBS markers were employed, and six primers provided sufficient polymorphic data generating a total of 19 alleles with an average of 2.83 bands/primer. The number of iPBS bands per individual was calculated as 1.12. The rate of polymorphism information content ranged from 0.02 to 0.49 with an average of 0.20. Genetic associations were assessed using the Dice dissimilarity coefficient between different pairs of accessions and revealed an average value of 0.84 for the French population and Q-52 genotypes. Cluster analysis on the unweighted pair-group mean average divided the 17 quinoa genotypes into two major clusters. The results of the principal component analysis were in agreement with those of the cluster analysis. The highest number of alleles, Nei’s genetic diversity, and Shannon’s information index were obtained from the French Vanilla genotype at 1.99, 0.50 and 0.69, respectively, whereas the lowest values were observed in the Q–52 genotype at 1.10, 0.09 and 0.20, respectively. The expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.398 in the first sub-population to 0.140 in the second subpopulation with an average of 0.269. The mean population differentiation measurement (Fst) values of the sub-populations were 0.048 and 0.676 for the first and second sub-populations, respectively. The results of this study provide useful information for the management of the quinoa germplasm and contribute to the improvement of existing breeding approaches. They also presented the iPBS marker system as a suitable tool for identification and genetic diversity analysis of quinoa genotypes.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN QUALITY IN ACCOUNTING INFORMATION AND ORGANIZATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE THIRD SECTOR ENTITIES Relação entre a qualidade da informação contábil e as características organizacionais das entidades do terceiro setor

This study intends to evaluate the relationship between the quality in accounting information and the organizational characteristics of Third Sector entities. The methodology is designed to follow a descriptive, documental and quantitative approach. The universe of the study is composed of Third Sector organizations, formally constituted in the Brazilian scenario. The target population has included organizations with OSCIP and UPF specifications. The 18,553 entities, which existed during the study, were investigated. The research used a probabilistic sample of 392 entities. The results indicate a predominance of the institutions established under the legal form of association. As for the size, the foundations are the larger ones. Regarding the quality of accounting information, we have identified a lower reported information quality index, when compared to the second sector. Finally, the results showed that the organizational characteristics of size, creation time and qualification as OSCIP have significant and positive influence on the quality of accounting information of the entities that we analyzed. This led to the conclusion that the non-profit organizations and regulatory organs need to make improvements regarding the accounting information reporting process, as well as the awareness of the importance of these reports for the decision-making process and public accountability. This study contributes to the discussion about the characteristics of the third sector organizations that relate with the quality of the accounting information reported by these institutions in the Brazilian scenario. It is the first study that analyzed this relationship in Brazil.

When Adler tied the concepts of identification and empathy (2, pp. 135-137) to the concept of social interest, he came close to describing the essence of reference-group feelings as they are commonly understood today. ((To see with the eyes of another, to hear with the ears of another, to feel with the heart of another" (2, p. 135), for example, may be a bit poetic for current scientific taste, but it is an essentially valid description of what we call (( personal involvement," a sine qua non of the reference group concept. When applied to cultures and comlTIunities, as Adler applies them, these phrases essentially express, in figurative language, the acceptance of group standards, mores, and goals. The concept of reference group is a relatively recent emergent construct in social psychology. Developing out of the need for an explanatory principle to clarify the meaning of the behavior of the individual in a social milieu defined by groupings of various kinds, it has been used to refer to the groups with which an individual manifests 4'lC""rl-'/'l/'''lrrl1rn/ identification.

Molecular Mechanism Underlying the Antidiabetic Effects of a Siddha Polyherbal Preparation in the Liver of Type 2 Diabetic Adult Male Rats

A siddha polyherbal preparation consisting of 5 medicinal plants, namely, Asparagus racemosus, Emblica officinalis, Salacia oblonga, Syzygium aromaticum, and Tinospora cordifolia, in equal ratio, was formulated to examine the molecular mechanism by which it exhibits antidiabetic effects in the liver of high-fat and fructose-induced type 2 diabetic rats. The polyherbal preparation treated type 2 diabetic rats showed an increase in insulin receptor, Akt, and glucose transporter2 mRNA levels compared with diabetic rats. Insulin receptor, insulin receptor substrate-2, Akt, phosphorylated Akt substrate of 160kDaThreonine642, α-Actinin-4, β-arrestin-2, and glucose transporter2 proteins were also markedly decreased in diabetic rats, whereas the polyherbal preparation treatment significantly improved the expression of these proteins more than that of metformin-treated diabetic rats. The expression pattern of insulin signaling molecules analyzed in the present study signifies the therapeutic efficacy of the siddha polyherbal preparation.
Personality-dependent Neural Text Summarization

In Natural Language Generation systems, personalization strategies - i.e, the use of information about a target author to generate text that (more) closely resembles human-produced language - have long been applied to improve results. The present work addresses one such strategy - namely, the use of Big Five personality information about the target author - applied to the case of abstractive text summarization using neural sequence-to-sequence models. Initial results suggest that having access to personality information does lead to more accurate (or human-like) text summaries, and paves the way for more robust systems of this kind.
Continuous Deployment for Dependable Systems with Continuous Assurance Cases

An assurance case contains a structured argument supported by evidence, demonstrating that a system fulfils a certain quality attribute such as safety, cybersecurity or reliability. The traditional way of building assurance cases is, however, not well suited to continuous deployment, and difficult to maintain with a product structure where many variants and frequent new versions must be managed. By integrating the assurance work with product development in continuous assurance cases, which are updated and assessed iteratively, we claim continuous deployment of dependability-critical products is possible to achieve. In this paper we propose a work process combining the use of component-based design, contracts, modular assurance cases, and continuous assessment to enable continuous deployment in the context of product lines.
Graph Embeddings for Frame Identification

Lexical resources such as WordNet (Miller, 1995) and FrameNet (Baker et al., 1998) are organized as graphs, where relationships between words are made explicit via the structure of the resource. This work explores how structural information from these lexical resources can lead to gains in a downstream task, namely frame identification. While much of the current work in frame identification uses various neural architectures to predict frames, those neural architectures only use representations of frames based on annotated corpus data. We demonstrate how incorporating knowledge directly from the FrameNet graph structure improves the performance of a neural network-based frame identification system. Specifically, we construct a bidirectional LSTM with a loss function that incorporates various graph- and corpus-based frame embeddings for learning and ultimately achieves strong performance gains with the graph-based embeddings over corpus-based embeddings alone.
Pseudo-precocious Puberty Associated with an Adrenocortical Tumor in a Young Child

Precocious puberty is commonly observed in pediatric practice due to different causes, including adrenal tumors. Adrenocortical tumors are rare in children and are characterized by an androgenic hormonal excess that causes pseudo-precocious puberty. We present the case of a four-year-old boy with a history of penile enlargement associated with the growth of pubic hair, facial acne, and three-years advanced bone age. Based on hormonal assays, the diagnosis of pseudo-precocious puberty was confirmed. Abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a right-sided, retroperitoneal, well-defined adrenal tumor. This case report emphasizes the aim to increase the awareness of adrenocortical tumor as a rare cause of pseudo-precocious puberty in young children.
Projection of Manpower Requirements for the SarawakEconomy

Through the use of the manpower requirement approach (MRA), this paper attempts to forecast the manpower requirements for the Sarawak economy in 2025. The MRA is used as the method for estimating the manpower as it is contended that the manpower requirement forecast is strongly related to the labour demand. Hence, it can be concluded that the manpower inventory and analysis provide valuable information pertaining to the present and future workers needed at each level. Although the information may not be completely accurate, it is still valuable and useful for providing a basis for the recruitment, selection, and training process. The projection for the manpower requirements in the manufacturing sector clearly shows a high demand. The results reveal that agriculture is the main sector that contributes to the job opportunities in the Sarawak economy while the skilled agriculture, forestry, and fishery workers are the main employment categories for the Sarawak economy in 2025.
