Incidental Cholangiocarcinoma is Associated with Poor Outcome in Patients Transplanted for Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common malignancy in Asia for which orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) offers curative treatment in selected patients. Incidental HCC-cholangiocarcinoma (HCC-CLC) has been associated with poor OLT outcomes. Aims: To examine the prevalence of incidental HCC-CLC in liver explants from patients undergoing liver transplantation for HCC in our center and to examine its association with post-transplant disease recurrence and mortality. Methods: Medical records of all liver transplant patients in our center were reviewed. The presence of HCC-CLC in liver explants was reviewed by experienced pathologists. Factors associated with recurrence of HCC post OLT and post-transplant mortality were analyzed. Survival in patients with incidental HCC-CLC was compared against those without.
Numerical study of the surface and subsurface vortices suppression in a rectangular pump basin using anti‐vortex devices

The present study reports the results of high‐resolution free surface Unsteady Reynolds Averaged Navier–Stokes (URANS) simulations of the three‐dimensional (3D) flow field in a rectangular pump intake system. The numerical simulations are composed of various scenarios without/with various anti‐vortex devices (AVDs) to suppress the surface and subsurface vortices around the pipe. For this purpose, after performing a comparison between the streamlines of a benchmark test case and the data available in the literature, the 3D vortical structures around the pipe and inside of the basin have been visualized using the Q‐criterion. In addition, the circulation and swirl angle indices inside the pipe are implemented for evaluating the performance of different types of AVDs. The results showed that the surface vortices cause low frequency oscillations in the pump inlet. In this case, the use of a curtain wall controls the surface vortices and eliminates low frequency and high amplitude oscillations in the pump inlet. Examining various cases with AVDs shows that none of the scenarios with AVDs could fully control the surface and submerged vortices. Due to this fact, a novel geometry for the pump basin is introduced which suppresses the entire free surface, submerged and floor vortices.
CLINICAL FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH HEPATITIS C TREATMENT SELECTION IN A VETERANS AFFAIRS POPULATION

By Carly A. Ranson University of the Pacific 2017 Background: Hepatitis C virus is currently the most common chronic blood borne pathogen in the United States, with only half of those infected aware of their condition. The cost for treatment is higher with Harvoni (ledipasvir/sofosbuvir) than Viekira Pak (ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir and dasabuvir). With finite resources available to treat patients, it is important to understand which clinical factors may influence treatment selection decisions. Methods: The study is a 12-month medical record review within the Veterans Affairs (VA) system to evaluate significant relationships between selected clinical and sociodemographic factors and HCV treatment selection with either Harvoni or Viekira Pak. Clinical and demographic information was collected as well a presence of interacting medications, contraindication to components of the treatment regimen, and the treatment regimen indicated and selected.
NvPOU4/Brain3 functions as a terminal selector gene in the nervous system of the cnidarian Nematostella vectensis

Terminal selectors are transcription factors that control the morphological, physiological and molecular features that characterize distinct cell types. Here we use expression analyses and a transgenic reporter line to show that NvPOU4 is expressed in post-mitotic cells that give rise to a diverse set of neural cell types in the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis. We generated a loss-of-function allele by CRISPR/Cas9 and used additional transgenic reporter lines to show that the initial specification of neural cells is not affected in the NvPOU4 mutants. Analyses of transcriptomes derived from the mutants and from different neural cell populations revealed that NvPOU4 is required for the execution of the terminal differentiation program of these neural cells. These findings suggest that POU4 genes have ancient functions as terminal selectors for morphologically and functionally highly disparate types of neurons and they provide experimental support for the relevance of terminal selectors for understanding the evolution of cell types.
Idiosyncratic Volatility and the Intertemporal Capital Asset Pricing Model

When the true asset pricing model cannot be identified, the idiosyncratic volatility obtained from a misspecified model contains information of the hedge portfolio in Merton’s (1973) ICAPM. Empirically, I find that from 1815 to 2018, more than two centuries, neither equal-weighted idiosyncratic volatility (EWIV) nor value-weighted idiosyncratic volatility (VWIV) can forecast stock market returns. However, EWIV and VWIV when applied together are strong predictors of stock market returns over short- and long-term horizons. The explanatory power is economically significant with an out-of-sample forecasting r-squared around 1% for one month and 12% for one year. This finding suggests that EWIV and VWIV together are linked to state variables that capture time-varying investment opportunities. Furthermore, EWIV and VWIV jointly can explain the cross-section of average stock returns with a beta quintile spread of 7.88% per year. I argue that the combination of EWIV and VWIV is a proxy for the conditional covariance risk in the ICAPM. I revisit the debate between Goyal and Santa-Clara (2003) and Bali, Cakici, Yan, and Zhang (2005) and reconcile their mixed findings between the idiosyncratic volatility and future stock market returns. Finally, this paper also gives new insights for the tail risk measure proposed by Kelly and Jiang (2014).
Prevalence and Genetic Characterization of Porcine Circovirus Type 3 in Guangxi Province from 2009 to 2017

Received: Revised: Accepted: Published online: August 31, 2018 October 23, 2018 November 14, 2018 January 24, 2019 Porcine circovirus 3 (PCV3) is a novel porcine circovirus type recently reported in many countries. PCV3 has suspected links to porcine dermatitis and nephropathy syndrome (PDNS). In this study, 843 tissue and serum samples of pigs collected between 2009 and 2017 in Guangxi province of China were tested for PCV3. The tissue and serum positive rate of PCV3 was 7.44 and 2.96%, respectively. PCV3 could be detected from different tissues of pigs showed that it has wide tissue tropism. Fifteen complete genome sequences of PCV3 were obtained and showed high genetic identity with other PCV3 isolates. A recombinant cluster had been found based on the phylogenetic tree analyses and similarity plot analyses of ORF2. Our study identified PCV3 was found widely spread in the Guangxi region since 2009. Genomic recombination in different clusters of PCV3 indicated the possible genetic and molecular evolution in the virus. ©2018 PVJ. All rights reserved
The Effect of Childhood Eye Disorders on Social Relationships during School Years and Psychological Functioning as Young Adults

Aims: To determine (1) whether having a visible eye condition and/or treatment with glasses and/or occlusion in childhood has any impact on psychological and/or social outcomes during childhood and young adulthood and (2) whether there is an effect of age at treatment. Methods: A cohort of 160 participants was asked to take part in an online study. The cohort had previously taken part in a research study at Royal Preston Hospital from 1999–2006 when they were 3–8 years old (Buckley and Perkins 2010). Participants were divided into treatment and no-defect (control) groups and were invited to take part in the current study when they had reached age 18–21. Thirty-five (35) participants (22.5% of the total cohort) were recruited and completed a series of online questionnaires assessing recalled victimisation at school, current generalised anxiety, current depressive symptoms, current loneliness, current friendship quality, and adjustment to university/work. Questionnaire scores between treated patients and controls were compared. Results: Findings showed that young adults who received treatment during their pre-school years, compared to their peers who did not need treatment, reported higher current generalised anxiety and more victimisation when in school. Those who received treatment in reception class were no different on psycho-social functioning compared to their peers; with both groups reporting higher victimisation than average compared to previous studies, and mild rates of anxiety. Conclusions: It appears that having a visible eye condition or treatment with glasses and/or occlusion commencing at pre-school has long term psychological implications, with scores on victimisation and current anxiety levels being higher for the pre-school treatment group compared to the pre-school no defect (control) group. Treatment plans and advice to parents should consider psycho-social outcomes of proposed treatment.
Sleep Quality in Prisoners with Substance Use Disorder (SUD) in Iran—a Cross-sectional Study

ABSTRACT Background: Prisoners are a high-risk population with a high prevalence of psychiatric diseases and substance use disorder (SUD). Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate sleep quality and the related risk factors in prisoners with SUD in Iran. Method: In This descriptive cross-sectional study, a group of prisoners from Tehran Central Prison with a history of SUD were presented with a questionnaire to answer. The questionnaire had two parts: the first part served to gather demographic information and the second part was the standard Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Results: From the sample population (N = 500), 382 prisoners completed the questionnaire (response rate: 76.4%). The prevalence of poor sleep quality was 87.7%. Poor sleep quality was shown to associate with the total duration of imprisonment, the remainder of the prison term, having a tattoo, history of sedative use, use of more than one substance, and use of more than one sedative. No association was found between sleep quality and either age, incarceration history, or daily methadone dose. Conclusion: This study shows a high prevalence of poor sleep quality in prisoners with substance use disorder, indicating that prisoners need special care for their sleep problems.
Respondent Fatigue in Estimates of the Cost of White-Collar Crime: Implications From Willingness-to-Pay Surveys

Contingent valuation (CV) methods are used in many contexts to estimate non-tangible costs, despite some indications that they may not be reliable. In criminal justice, CV has been used to generate “costs of crime” for street, violent, and white-collar crimes. This article explores respondent fatigue using both quantitative and qualitative indicators from an open-ended CV survey where respondents were asked how much they would be willing to pay to reduce certain crimes. Our findings reveal that willingness to pay (WTP) to reduce crime increases when both problematic response patterns and fatigue effects are accounted for in the calculation, indicating that fatigued respondents who also engage in straight lining are driving the WTP estimates down. We conclude by discussing the implications of our results for policymakers and other consumers of CV studies.
Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) Studies and Molecular docking Simulation of Norepinephrine Transporter (NET) Inhibitors as Anti-psychotic Therapeutic Agents

The Norepinephrine transporter (NET) is a Na+/Cl- coupled neurotransmitter transporter responsible for reuptake of released norepinephrine (NE) into neural terminals in the brain, an important therapeutic agent used in the treatment of psychiatric disorders. A quantitative structural activity relationship (QSAR) investigation was carried out on 50 Molecules of NET Inhibitors to investigate their inhibitory potencies against norepinephrine transporter as novel agents for anti-psychotic disorders. The molecules were optimized by employing Density functional theory (DFT) with basis set of B3LYP/6-31G*. The genetic function Algorithm (GFA) approach was used to generate a highly predictive and statistically significant model with good correlation coefficient R2 Train = 0.952, Cross validated coefficient Q2cv = 0.870 and adjusted squared correlation coefficient R2adj = 0.898. The predictability and accuracy of the developed model was evaluated through external validation using test set molecules, Y-randomization and applicability domain techniques. The results of Molecular docking simulation by using two neurotransmitter transporters PDB ID 2A65 (resolution = 1.65 A ) and PDB ID 4M48 (resolution = 2.955 A) showed that two of the ligands (compound numbers 12 and 44) having higher binding affinity were observed to inhibit the targets by forming hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions with amino acids of the two receptors respectively. The results of this study are envisaged to provide very important new insights into the molecular basis and structural requirements that would help in designing more potent and more specific therapeutic anti-psychotic agents.
PROFITABILITAS, AGRESIVITAS PAJAK DAN KINERJA LINGKUNGAN TERHADAP CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY DISCLOSURE

As far as the presence of CSR in Indonesia from 1980 to the present, the effectiveness and efficiency of CSR fund management still have many shortcomings in its implementation. This is because the motivation for disclosure of CSR in Indonesia is suspected only to maintain a good reputation for shareholders. Besides, with the issuance of Law Number 40 of 2007 concerning the obligations of Limited Liability Companies, companies are considered to only comply with these government regulations.The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of Profitability, Tax Aggressiveness and Environmental Performance as an independent variable on Corporate Social Responsibility Disclosure as the dependent variable. The population in this study are companies registered in the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII) during the period 2013-2017. Data collection techniques using purposive sampling method. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results of this study indicate that Tax Profitability and Aggressiveness do not affect Corporate Social Responsibility Disclosure while Environmental Performance affects Corporate Social Responsibility Disclosure.
Values and Green Product Purchase Behavior: The Moderating Effects of the Role of Government and Media Exposure

This study applies the theory of planned behavior and value–attitude–behavior hierarchy model to examine the influence of green product consumption values on the green product buying attitude and green product purchase behavior. Additionally, unlike the previous studies, the current study explores the moderating effects of the role of government and media exposure in the relationships. Data was collected by an online survey from 238 green product consumers in China. Structural equation modeling was applied for testing the hypothesized relationships. The results of the study have indicated that ecological value and economical value have not significantly influenced the green product buying attitude. In contrast, the health and safety values of green product have positively influenced the green product buying attitude. Moreover, the buying attitude of consumers has a significant positive effect on green product purchase behavior. Furthermore, the results showed that the role of government and media exposure have significantly moderated the relationship between safety value and buying attitude of green product.
To study the clinico-pathological picture among children aged 1-18 years in relation to paediatric cervical lymphadenopathy in a tertiary care hospital, Telangana, South India

Background: Lymph node enlargement is an age related physiological change which is normal in every individual. Lymph node enlargement is a common problem in children and evaluation of a child with lymphadenopathy is utmost important It may also occur due to chronic infections and other conditions like autoimmune disorders. Etiology varies from region to region. Aim and objective is to study the clinico-pathological picture of significant cervical lymphadenopathy in pediatric age group and to arrive at an etiological diagnosis. Methodology: Hospital based prospective observational study. Fifty children with cervical lymph node enlargement attending the Pediatric unit of RVM Institute of medical sciences, Siddipet (D), Telangana State from June 2019 December 2019 were taken as study participants. Manteaux test, hematological investigations, FNAC was performed in all the cases. Additional investigations were done wherever required.Results: Among 50 cases the common age group was 11 15 years (38%) children. The etiology was confirmed in 82% cases and could not be confirmed in 16% cases even after other investigations. Cytological examination revealed lymphoid nodular hyperplasia 48% cases, tubercular lymphadenitis in 24% cases and Suppurative lymphadenitis 12% cases. Commonest etiological diagnosis after detailed investigation was found to be due to infections due to bacteria, fungi, viruses in 60% cases followed by tuberculosis in 16% cases and there were 8% cases caused due to measles.Conclusion: Reactive nodular lymphadenitis was the commonest problem which is treatable. Further follow-up involving detection of antigen and antibodies against viruses, parasites and rare causes of lymphadenopathy may decrease the incidence of new significant cervical lymphadenopathy among children of pediatric age group.

Why Do African Countries Adopt IFRS? An Institutional Perspective

We examine the institutional drivers of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adoption in Africa. The study covers all 54 African countries and relies on data from 2010 to 2015. Our results support the neo-institutional theoretical predictions that coercive, mimetic, and normative isomorphism influence IFRS adoption in Africa, although the circuits of isomorphic pressures differ from previous studies investigating adoption at the worldwide level and in emerging economies. Specifically, we find evidence of the influence by the World Bank and International Monetary Fund on African countries made subject to the Report on Observance of Standards and Codes — Accounting and Auditing program of assessment. We also found that the presence of global audit firms and the years of membership in the International Federation of Accountants are strongly associated with a country’s decision to adopt IFRS. Also, countries with a more structured and active professional accounting organization (PAO) are more likely to adopt IFRS. Our findings provide insights into the significant role played by local PAOs in the promotion of IFRS. Furthermore, we provide empirical evidence that the nature of the isomorphic pressures in Africa is different from those suggested in prior studies, reinforcing the view that IFRS adoption is primarily driven by social and political dimensions, rather than the economic dimension usually professed by IFRS proponents.
Assessing the Influence of Landmarks and Paths on the Navigational Efficiency and the Cognitive Load of Indoor Maps

The aim of this study was to investigate whether different expressions of landmarks and paths have different influences on the navigational efficiency and the cognitive load of indoor maps. The study tested 80 subjects by indoor path discovery experiments and measured their cognitive loads with the Cooper–Harper scale. According to the results, we extracted some key landmarks from all landmarks of the experimental indoor map and evaluated the saliency degree of each path. Then, the study tested subjects with four different types of experimental indoor maps by path-recognition tasks. The results showed that maps with key landmarks are more effective in terms of navigation than those with full landmarks, but there were no significant differences between their cognitive loads. Maps with highlighted paths are more effective in terms of navigation, and their cognitive loads are much lower than those without highlighted paths. In addition, this study found that women's cognitive loads were more affected by key landmarks compared with men’s, while highlighted paths had no significant differences in terms of navigational efficiency and the cognitive load between males and females. Implications of these results with respect to the optimization strategies of indoor map designs are discussed.
