A Review of Research on International Student Mobility: Science Mapping the Existing Knowledge Base

Among the increasing number of academic publications in the field of higher education, studies focusing on internationalization of higher education are on the exponential phase in the last couple of decades. In these efforts, the research on international student mobility (ISM) has been a priority. This current review research uses science mapping tools to examine Web of Science (WoS)–indexed journal publications focusing on ISM. The purpose of the review is to demonstrate the development of ISM research in the last three decades. The findings, revealed from an examination of 2,064 publications, suggest that ISM research has significantly expanded since 2005. Findings also reveal crucial information regarding the authors’ country of origin as well as country collaborations and the most influential scholars in the field by demonstrating networks around the world. Topical foci analysis is also included in the study to show current patterns in ISM research. Discussions and suggestions are expected to provide a basis for countries and international organizations in their policy development efforts related to international students and a ground and direction for future research on ISM.
The paradigm of the creative class in regional and urban development revisited. An overview

Since the era of industrial capitalism when location started playing an important role in attracting industry and trade and boosting the economy, the role of knowledge and a high level of skills has grown in post-industrial regional economic theory. What makes the heated debate around creativity and the contribution of Richard Florida’s work particularly valuable is that it fosters an interdisciplinary discussion about the role of creativity, culture, talent, and diversity in urban and regional development. Despite the vividness and edginess of these debates at times, it seems that the related criticisms, based on a body of evidence, did not originally penetrate policymaker discourse, and only one-and-a-half decades later were embraced when problems stemming from socioeconomic crises and the flaws of creative policymaking reared their head more explicitly. Florida’s revelations, which were elevated into the popular arena of city-level policies and governance, did not contain much that was new. This paper tracks how the concept of the “creative class” has been tested, argued about, rejected and applied since then on a wide set of practices and experiences in the urban and regional framework.
Single-stage revision for chronic periprosthetic joint infection of the knee: a minimum 4-year follow-up

Background: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is one of the most challenging and frequent complications after hip and knee arthroplasty. This study aimed to determine whether chronic PJI patients who had undergone single-stage knee revision: (I) achieved adequate infection control as assessed by culture of synovial fluid and monitoring of inflammatory markers; (II) regained normal knee function as assessed by the Knee Society Score (KSS). Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 43 patients who had undergone single-stage revision for PJI after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) between April 2005 and October 2011. The most recent follow-up was in October 2014, and the minimum follow-up was 4 years (range, 4–10 years). Results: Participants were 27 men and 16 women with a mean age of 65 years (range, 37–80 years). Infection was controlled by the time of last follow-up in 41 of 43 patients; one patient died for reasons unrelated to infection after completing the 4-year follow-up, one patient had recurrence of PJI that was eradicated by prosthesis removal and second-stage revision, and one patient had a recurrent fungal infection that was controlled by intravenous vancomycin, intra-articular fluconazole, and oral fluconazole. The mean preoperative KSS score was 33.6 (range, 0–61), which had increased significantly by the last follow-up to 63.9 (range, 43–82) points. Conclusions: Single-stage revision for chronic knee PJI achieved a high rate of infection control and acceptable functional outcomes; this is a more convenient alternative that avoids the risks associated with two operations and hospitalizations. Level of Evidence: Level 4, therapeutic study.
A study on awareness of human immunodeficiency virus among adolescent girls in urban and rural field practice areas of Osmania Medical College, Hyderabad, Telangana, India

Adolescent is considered to be, no longer a child, and not yet an adult. Adolescence, the second decade of life, is a period in which an individual undergoes major physical and psychological changes. WHO defines adolescence as 10-19 years old, youth as 15-24 years old and young people as 10-24 years old. The adolescence has been divided into two phases: early (10-14 years) and late (1519 years). Today approximately one-fifth of the world population are adolescents, with more than four-fifths in developing countries. Adolescents in India represent over 1/5th (22.3%) of total population. Though they constitute the healthiest section of population they are considered as vulnerable group.
Scalable Skin Lesion Multi-classification Recognition System

: Skin lesion recognition is an important challenge in the medical field. In this paper, we have implemented an intelligent classification system based on convolutional neural network. First of all, this system can classify whether the input image is a dermascopic image with an accuracy of 99%. And then diagnose the dermoscopic image and the non-skin mirror image separately. Due to the limitation of the data, we can only realize the recognition of vitiligo by non-skin mirror. We propose a vitiligo recognition based on the probability average of three structurally identical CNN models. The method is more efficient and robust than the traditional RGB color space-based image recognition method. For the dermoscopic classification model, we were able to classify 7 skin lesions, use weighted optimization to overcome the unbalanced data set, and greatly improve the sensitivity of the model by means of model fusion. The optimization and expansion of the system depend on the increase of database.
The Indian retinopathy of prematurity society: a baby step towards tackling the retinopathy of prematurity epidemic in India

Background: India leads all nations in the number of preterms born annually. With over 3.5 million infants, a reducing infant mortality rate and an expanding base of rural neonatal intensive care units, the number of infants requiring retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) screening has dramatically increased. The number of ROP specialists in the country is currently inadequate. Leading ROP specialists of the country initiated the Indian ROP (IROP) society to address these challenges. Methods: In 2016, the IROP society was conceived and registered as a professional body with a mission to prevent needless blindness from ROP by promoting standards of excellence. A national online membership drive was carried out. The data collected in this survey was analyzed to collate information on past training, practice patterns, ease of screening and treatment, use of wide-field imaging and willingness to be certified. Results: Of the 113 members at the time of submission, 67.3% were male. 88.5% were formally trained for ROP and 85.8% were vitreo-retinal specialists. Of the practicing members, 96% were “comfortable” with screening and 86% with ROP treatment and this correlated with training (P=0.001 and P=0.002 respectively). Only 25.7% performed vitreous surgery for ROP. Wide field imaging was used by 33% of members in their practice and 52% of those who did not, wanted to use it in the future. Members who used imaging performed more number of laser treatments than those who did not (P=0.008). Laser was the preferred modality of treatment for 98% of members. A majority of the members (92.5%) were willing to be audited. Conclusions: The IROP society is a novel platform for ROP specialists to collaborate. The society has setup short, mid and long-term goals to make ROP care more accessible and affordable with appropriate use of technology.
Development of the Diabetes Complication Surveillance System (DCSS)

Development of the Diabetes Complication Surveillance System (DCSS) Shuo Wang Degree of M.Sc. Health Services Research Graduate Department of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation University Of Toronto 2010 Abstract Information technology [IT] that enables electronic access to patient health records has been widely recognized as a promising means to improve the quality of care for patients with chronic diseases, and reduce health care costs through better health information delivery and encouragement of selfmanagement. IT applied to assist chronic disease management is inadequately studied in Canadian health care settings. This thesis describes the development and modest pilot implementation of an electronic tool, the Diabetes Complication Surveillance System [DCSS]. The DCSS was conceived as a self-monitoring tool that facilitates regular checks on conditions of diabetes patients, including acute and long-term complications. The DCSS is relatively unusual, as it facilitates glycemic control and also allows patients to address the long-term complications of diabetes. The development of the DCSS involved literature reviews and consultations with clinician experts. Questionnaire results from the pilot provided positive feedback.
Weight Gain: A Modifiable Risk Factor for Primary Cesarean Delivery

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between weight gain and primary cesarean delivery. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of women 5442 who delivered a singleton from 2009-2013. Women were classified as normal weight [pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) 18.5 - 24.9 kg/m2], overweight (pre-pregnancy BMI 25.0 - 29.9 kg/m2), obese (pre-pregnancy BMI 30.0 - 39.9 kg/m2), and extremely obese (pre-pregnancy BMI ≥ 40.0 kg/m2). Each BMI group was subdivided by weight gain—low, recommended, or excessive, as defined by the 2009 Institute of Medicine guidelines—and rates of primary cesarean delivery were compared. Results: The overall primary cesarean delivery rate was 27.3%, but this varied based on pre-pregnancy BMI. The primary cesarean delivery rate among women of normal weight was 22.3%, overweight women 27.5%, obese women 35.3%, and extremely obese women 45.7%. Among normal-weight, obese, and extremely obese women, the risk of primary cesarean delivery increased with excessive weight gain [normal weight odds ratio (OR) 1.63, (95% confidence interval 1.32 - 2.01); obese OR 1.55 (1.12 - 2.15); extremely obese OR 2.19 (1.18 - 4.08)] compared to recommended weight gain. More than half of women (53.2%) had excessive weight gain. Conclusion: Adherence to guidelines may decrease a woman’s risk of primary cesarean delivery.
Real-Time 2D Mapping and Localization Algorithms for Mobile Robot Applications

The purpose of this paper is to show an approach in 2D localization and real-time mapping for robot applications that combine the Particle Filter algorithm, Extended Kalman Filter (EKF), and Iterative Closest Point (ICP). The closing loop method is added and shows satisfactory 2D mapping and localization results. We tested our approach to large floor buildings. For testing, we used a two-wheeled differential drive robot equipped with an optical encoder, laser scanner and gyroscope. Test results show that an accurate map of large high-rise buildings can be produced. Real-time mapping can reach a resolution of 5 cm. Automatic localization of cellular robots in unknown environments is one of the most fundamental problems in robot navigation. This is a complex problem due to the stringent requirements on cellular robots, especially those relations to accuracy, durability, and computational efficiency. The conclusions from this study can help in developing real-time 2D mapping for robot applications that process 2D cloud points directly.
The Potential Impact of Nuclear Conflict on Ocean Acidification

We demonstrate that the global cooling resulting from a range of nuclear conflict scenarios would temporarily increase the pH in the surface ocean by up to 0.06 units over a 5‐year period, briefly alleviating the decline in pH associated with ocean acidification. Conversely, the global cooling dissolves atmospheric carbon into the upper ocean, driving a 0.1 to 0.3 unit decrease in the aragonite saturation state ( Ωarag ) that persists for ∼ 10 years. The peak anomaly in pH occurs 2 years post conflict, while the Ωarag anomaly peaks 4‐ to 5‐years post conflict. The decrease in Ωarag would exacerbate a primary threat of ocean acidification: the inability of marine calcifying organisms to maintain their shells/skeletons in a corrosive environment. Our results are based on sensitivity simulations conducted with a state‐of‐the‐art Earth system model integrated under various black carbon (soot) external forcings. Our findings suggest that regional nuclear conflict may have ramifications for global ocean acidification.

Singkat kata mereka lebih memilih untuk memantaskan diri mereka.
Topographic and Structural Enamel Changes after Orthodontic Primer Absence

The Aim: evaluation of changes of enamel topographic, structural and enamel minerals mass percentage (calcium and phosphorus) due to absence of orthodontic primer. Materials and Methods: 20 orthodontic patients were enrolled in this study. All patients as a part of orthodontic treatment planned to extract first premolars. After ethical approval was granted by Research Ethics Committee of faculty of dentistry, Tanta University and written consent from each patient to participate in this study was obtained. The patients divided randomly into, Group (I): 10 patient’s first premolar brackets bonded with light cured orthodontic composite without primer. Group (II): 10 patient’s first premolar brackets bonded with light cured orthodontic composite with primer. Control group: for both groups bonding only first premolar in one side leaving the opposite side unbounded as a control. After 3 months according to the treatment plane the first premolar tooth extracted, brackets carefully removed, teeth sectioned buccolingually, enamel surface topography was scanned with scanning electron microscopy, calcium and phosphorus mass % was measured using scanning electron microscopy –energy dispersive X ray analytical system (SEMEDX). The obtained data were histologically and statistically analyzed. Results: despite the non-significant statistical difference between group (I) and group (II), or between either groups and control group more enamel defects and lower average calcium and phosphorus mass % in group (I) than in group (II) due to absence of orthodontic primer in the form of enamel erosion, cracks and gaps between enamel rods and enamel surface. Conclusions: orthodontic bonding using composite without primer can resulted in more enamel defects and non-significant decrease in the mean calcium and phosphorous mass percentage.
Does strategic orientation influence strategy formulation and organisational design in Italian food medium sized enterprises? The role of the family

The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of strategic orientation (defined using the Miles and Snow’s paradigm) on the processes of strategic decision-making and organisational design in medium-sized firms (MEs) operating in the Italian family food and beverage industry (F&B). It answers the following research questions: Does the orientation towards market development lead to different strategic formulation styles and developing innovative approaches towards organisational design? ,The study is based on five cases of Italian family MEs operating in the F&B industry with a focus on premium segments, following the Mediobanca and Unioncamere criteria. ,The strategy formulation process and the organisational design are affected by strategic orientation, highlighting the relevance of the “prospector” orientation in modifying the behavioural models among the selected companies. ,The limitations concern the number of examined case studies and the geographical location of firms. ,The attitude to plan and develop new organisational designs is required by a more “prospector” strategic orientation due to the increasing level of work complexity and the process of innovation to manage the market share. Thus, the emergence of a prospector attitude must be reinforced with specific managerial competencies and suggested as necessary support for development strategies. ,This study focusses on strategic and organisational profiles of MEs operating in the F&B context, where literature is still fragmented. It explores the relationship between strategic orientation, strategic formulation and organisational design by analysing all constructs simultaneously, thereby bridging the theoretical gap in the existing literature.
Adverse drug reactions monitoring of newer oral hypoglycemic drugs in a tertiary care hospital of North India: a prospective study

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia and associated with a high risk of numerous complications. It is estimated that 366 million people had DM in 2011; by 2030 this would have risen to 552 million. Classically having two varieties that is and Type 1 DM also called insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) Type 2 DM also called non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). Type 1 DM results from autoimmune destruction of pancreatic β-cells, leading to deficiency of insulin secretion. Type 2 DM results from interaction between genetic, environmental and behavioral risk factors while Monogenic forms like Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY), constitutes up to 5% of cases. Type 2 diabetes is the predominant form of diabetes and accounts for at least 90% of all cases of diabetes mellitus. Gestational diabetes mellitus is getting common and obesity and is increasing in frequency throughout the world. As the prevalence of type 2 diabetes increases within a population so will the prevalence of GDM.

The volunteers were subjected to clinical evaluation, laboratory investigations and ultrasound examination. Results: The overall prevalence of gallstone disease was 8.6%. The older age, female gender, physical activities and obesity are key factors in the gallstones progression. Also, diabetes, liver enzymes and the lipid profile were modifiable risk factors for gallstones. Conclusion: The risk factors for gallstones formation are old age, female gender, physical activities and obesity were key factors in the gallstones progression.
Production of Ancient Dissolved Organic Carbon in Arctic Ocean Sediment: A Pathway of Carbon Cycling in the Extreme Environment

We report quantitative carbon isotope evidence showing that porewater dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is produced from different sources in Arctic Ocean sediments, resulting in dramatic changes in both δ13C and Δ14C values of DOC. The very low δ13C (−42.7‰) and Δ14C (−947‰) values measured for porewater DOC indicate that bacteria consume methane hydrate‐derived OC and convert a significant fraction of this δ13C depleted and old OC (44–97%) into DOC in the sediments of the Arctic Ocean. We suggest that the production of extremely old, methane‐derived porewater DOC (5,430–23,600 years) in Arctic Ocean sediment is an important pathway for carbon cycling that provides not only a necessary energy source for microbial communities in this extreme environment but also an ancient DOC source that could flux and contribute to the old and biologically recalcitrant DOC found in the deep ocean.
Persons with disabilities’ education and quality of life: evidence from Malaysia

ABSTRACT The need for more inclusive education policies for persons with disabilities (PWDs) in Malaysia has long been discussed. This study sought to investigate the association between levels of education with quality of life (QoL) of PWDs. The study was cross-sectional, using the WHOQOL-DIS instrument to assess QoL level of PWDs. The instrument comprised of three global items and seven domains. The global items assessed the overall QoL, health satisfaction and impact of disabilities on life of PWDs, while the seven domains measured the physical health, psychological health, social relationships, environment, discrimination, control and inclusion. A total of 339 PWDs participated in this study, stratified based on types of disabilities; hearing and speech, visual, and physical. The nonparametric Mann–Whitney test was used to compare the mean scores of global items and domains with the level of education. Findings from this study revealed that PWDs with higher education level generally have a better QoL. Physically disabled persons scored the lowest for almost all the domains, while visually impaired persons scored the lowest for domains related to facilities. Hearing and speech impaired persons felt they were more discriminated against compared to their counterparts. Hence, in the formulation of education policy for PWDs, the government ought to focus on the environmental domain for the visually impaired and the physical domain for the physically impaired.
The Role of Body Shame in Sexual, Relationship, and Life Satisfaction in Women

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to measure how body shame, sexual satisfaction, and relationship satisfaction predicted life satisfaction for female participants who have been in committed relationships for at least a year and who have engaged in sexual activity with their partners (N = 138). Researchers examined data to determine how body shame may interact with: (a) sexual satisfaction, (b) relationship satisfaction, and (c) life satisfaction. Results indicate that body shame and relationship satisfaction account for the greatest amount of variance in life satisfaction for the respondents.
