Meta-Analysis the Effect of Oral and Injection Contraceptives on Breast Cancer

Background: Oral contraceptives and injec­tions are the main risk factors for breast cancer. The content of the hormones estrogen and progesterone in oral contraceptives and proges­tin in injection contraceptives can affect uncontrolled growth of breast tissue, leading to breast cancer. This study aims to analyze the magnitude of the effect of oral contraceptives and injection on the incidence of breast cancer by means of a meta-analysis study. Subjects and Method: This was a systematic review and meta-analysis conducted with PRISMA flow diagrams. Search for articles through journal databases includes: PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar by selecting articles published in 2010-2020. The keywords used were "Women Aged 15-80 Years" AND "Contraceptive Pills" OR "Birth control injec­ti­ons" AND "Breast Cancer". The inclusion crite­ria were full text articles with observational study design, articles in English, and multi­variate analysis used with adjusted odds ratios. Articles that meet the requirements are ana­lyzed using the Revman 5.3 application. Results: A meta-analysis of 15 observational studies showed that oral contraceptives had a 1.30 times risk of developing breast cancer compared with women using non-hormonal contraceptives (aOR= 1.30; 95% CI= 1.13 to 1.50; p= 0.0002). A meta-analysis of 6 obser­vational studies showed injectable contracep­tives had a 1.37 times risk of developing breast cancer compared to using non-hormonal contraceptives (aOR= 1.37; 95% CI= 1.09 to 1.71; p= 0.006). Conclusion: Oral hormonal contraceptives and injections have a weak effect on the inci­dence of breast cancer.

Hematological profiles of COVID-19 patients at the Ratlam district, Madhya Pradesh State, India

It is of interest to compare the hematological profile (using Complete blood count) of COVID patients admitted in ICU, private ward, and isolation ward with varying severity. This data will help predict the severity of infection at peripheries and rural areas. Detailed history and CBC was performed for all the cases. Different ratios and indexes such as systemic inflammatory index (SII), Neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR) were assessed. A total of 862 cases with a mean age of 49.9 ±17.4 years were enrolled. Hemoglobin level, lymphocyte (count per liter and percentage) were significantly lower in patients admitted in ICU as compared to patients admitted in the isolation ward and private ward (p <0.05). However, TLC, neutrophils, platelet count were higher in patients admitted to ICU (p <0.05). The Various ratios such as SII, NLR, and PLR showed significantly higher value in cases admitted in ICU (p <0.05). The TLC, neutrophil count, neutrophil percentage, SII, NLR, and PLR were significant predictors of severe disease (admission in ICU) with high diagnostic accuracy. We show that complete blood count method is a simple, readily available, rapid, and inexpensive tool that can be utilized for diagnosis and can predicting the severity of COVID 19 where RTPCR or trained staff is not available. Thus, NLR (%), SII, PLR, and TLC can predict severe illness with high accuracy.
The Use of Vietnamese In Learning English As A Second Language

These years, the debate surrounding the role of the ﬁrst language (L1) in the second/foreign language (L2) classrooms in general and in English ones has been a controversial issue. On one hand, people support the idea that the inﬂuence of mother tongue should be excluded from second language acquisition. Meanwhile, the component of English-only method emphasizes the signiﬁcance from the use of L1 in English classes. This paper aims to investigate the positive inﬂuences of the use of Vietnamese in English learning process. From this point, two main things will be demonstrated. Firstly, using Vietnamese has a facilitating role to play in the classroom and can actually boost students’ learning. And secondly, there are good reasons for teachers and students to use Vietnamese to fully suit the context of speciﬁc lessons. To conduct this study, both quantitative and qualitative approaches were used. First of all, an online survey was conducted to collect realistic information from the students’ perspective. On the other hand, there were some in-depth interviews for teachers and tutors to express their experience as well as their own ideas about this issue. Finally, two separate classes were formally observed when they took a sample lesson which was taught in different methods. At the end of the course, a small test was provided to students to examine how much they understood their lesson. All the statistics and information received was analyzed, then mentioned in the paper.
A Modified Vegetation Photosynthesis and Respiration Model (VPRM) for the Eastern USA and Canada, Evaluated With Comparison to Atmospheric Observations and Other Biospheric Models

Atmospheric CO2 measurements from a dense surface network can help to evaluate terrestrial biosphere model (TBM) simulations of Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) with two key benefits. First, gridded CO2 flux estimates can be evaluated over regional scales, not possible using flux tower observations at discrete locations for model evaluation. Second, TBM ability to explain atmospheric CO2 fluctuations due to the biosphere can be directly tested, an important objective for anthropogenic emissions monitoring using atmospheric observations. Here, we customize the Vegetation Photosynthesis and Respiration Model (VPRM) for an eastern North American domain with strong biological activity upwind of urban areas. Parameters are optimized using flux tower observations from a historical database with sites in (and near) the domain. In addition, the respiration model (originally a linear function of temperature) is modified to account for impacts of changing foliage, non‐linear temperature, and water stress. Flux estimates from VPRM, the Carnegie‐Ames‐Stanford Approach (CASA) model and the Simple Biosphere Model v4 (SiB4), are convolved with footprints from atmospheric transport models for evaluation with CO2 observations at 21 towers in the domain, with roughly half of the towers used here for the first time. Results show that the new respiration model in VPRM helps to correct a growing season sink bias in the atmosphere associated with underestimated summertime respiration using the original model with annual parameters. The new VPRM also better explains fine‐scale atmospheric CO2 variability compared to other TBMs, due to higher resolution diagnostic phenology, the new respiration model, domain‐specific parameters, and high‐quality input data sets.

According to the results of the model 1 hypothesis test that has been carried out, it shows that audit opinion has an effect on audit delay, while audit tenure and profitability do not have a significant effect on audit delay. Meanwhile, the results of the model 2 hypothesis test show that the public accounting firm reputation able to moderate the relationship between audit opinion and audit delay, while the public accounting firm reputation is unable to moderate the relationship between audit tenure and profitability. Keywords: Audit Delay, Audit Tenure, Public Accounting Firm Reputation, Profitability
Factors Affecting User Adoption of E-Payment Services Available in Mobile Wallets in Saudi Arabia

Mobile wallets have been in continuous demand and developed over the past few years, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Several studies have examined user intentions and perspectives. This study develops a conceptual model combining behavioral factors with the technology acceptance model (TAM). The goal is to identify key factors that influence user's intention to adopt mobile payments. This study uses the TAM and the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) models with additional factors. The additional factors are security, trust, facilitating conditions, and lifestyle compatibility. The study analyzes the results of a survey of 394 Saudi citizens conducted via an online survey. The results indicate that user attitudes and intentions are positively influenced by all of the factors. Perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, lifestyle compatibility, and facilitating conditions are direct predictors of user behavior in accepting mobile wallet payments. This study provides an empirical contribution to the literature on mobile payment acceptance on the effect of perceived usefulness and lifestyle compatibility. The results demonstrate that about 26% of the respondents started using mobile wallet services because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Experimental investigation into the performance of cold‐formed steel walls sheathed with OSB and cement‐based panels

Cold‐formed steel (CFS) structures are developing fast in both seismic and not seismic areas for their high degree of prefabrication, high structural performance and the good energy performance. In the last decades, many research groups around the world have focused on the analysis of seismic behaviour of CFS structures and the development of design procedures that still need to find their full implementation in many international codes, first of all in the Eurocode. Therefore, the development of CFS system still requires, very often, the adoption of large experimental testing, in particular, when sheathing braced design methodologies are applied. This paper presents, for the first time, the in‐plane tests of CFS walls sheathed on one side with oriented strand boards (OSB) and cement based panels (CP). In particular, a set of two full scale tests of ledger walls having 2400mm width and 2926mm height, sheathed with OSB3 and CP, and a set of two tests on ledger walls having dimensions (2400mmm x 2974mm) sheathed with OSB3 panels are presented and discussed. The tests have been carried out in accordance to the BS EN 594:1996. The results confirm in agreement with literature studies that the collapse is governed by the failure of the screws between panels and steel profiles. And, more importantly it shows that, when both OSB and CP are present the collapse is governed by the failure of the screws between cement panels and steel profiles. When comparing the two sets of walls those sheathed only with OSB panels have lateral resistance which is about 1.5 time higher than when also CP are present.
Colonoscopic Evaluation of Lower Gastrointestinal Bleeding (LGIB): Practical Approach

Background: Haematochesia (Lower Gastrointestinal Bleeding (LGIB) is the most common reason for endoscopic examination. Generaly it is caused by hemorrhoids and diverticular disease, but other anorectal conditions can also lead to LGIB. Recurrent bleeding may result in secondary iron deficiency anemia. Colonoscopy is the primary diagnostic option for establishing a diagnosis of colonic bleeding. Objective: This study aimed to analyze symptoms and endoscopic finding (specialy hemorrhoids) who may be sources of LGIB.Second goal of this study is to estimate time from onset of symptoms to performance of a colonoscopy. Methods: A retrospective study included 603 adult patients who underwent colonoscopy in General Hospital “Sv. Apostol Luka“, Doboj, Bosnia and Herzegovina, between 1.1. 2020 and 31.12. 2020. Results: Average age of the examined population was 62±13,3years. According to the gender they were mostly men. To be exact,by percentage it was 53.7% of men and 46,3% of women, or by number: 324 men and 279 women. The most common indications for colonoscopy were LGIB (48,8%), abdominal pain and irregular stool. Most frequent endoscopic findings were hemorrhoids 42%. Normal findings had almost one third of all examinated patients. Combined findings-presence of more clinical entities in one patient were presented in 95 cases. In the group with hemorrhoids were almost two thirds of males, but there was no gender difference noted in between group with LGIB and without LGIB. More than half patients were older than 61 years. Anemia was presented in almost 20% of cases. Significantly it is higher frequency of abdominal pain, irregular stool and weight loss observed on the group without LGIB. Also, significantly more frequently patients with LGIB underwent colonoscopy in 0-30 days when compared with patients without LGIB (p=0,016). Conclusion: In patients with haematochezia, taking a careful medical history is mandatory. Hemorrhoids, diverticular disease and colorectal cancers are the most common causes of bleeding. Patients with LGIB and abdominal pain were previously examined with colonoscopy. Completely colonoscopy is advocated to detect probable proximal lesions.
Clinical History Matters, Skin Prick Test (SPT) Results are Not the Be-All and End-All for Allergy Diagnosis

The diagnosis of Allergic disease is combination of clinical symptom assessment and analysis of the gold standard Skin Prick Test (SPT). This case report stresses on the fact that the results of SPT have to be mandatorily associated with clinical symptom manifestation for which a detailed history taking is absolutely instrumental. This study represents the maiden case from India where a patient presented with SPT documented house dust mites (HDM) sensitization without typical clinical manifestations of the HDM allergy spectrum. The results of SPT prompted us to revisit the patient history more elaborately and it came to our notice that the patient was having a pet turtle and was allergic to one of the components present in the pet feed (Gammarus also know commonly as Shrimp) which cross reacts with some HDM allergens and hence the reactivity on SPT. A simple allergen avoidance strategy (here it was the pet and its feed) made a patient free from allergy symptom and off pharmacotherapy also.
The role of relationship quality and loyalty between rice farmers and food companies in supply chain

Relationship quality plays a key role in maintaining the connection among parties in a supply chain. Relationship quality promotes loyalty of the supply chain’s factors. This study applies structural equation modeling (SEM) to point out factors affecting the relationship quality and loyalty between farmers and food companies in the rice supply chain. The research data were collected by stratified sampling with a sample size of 232 farmers associating with food companies in the rice supply chain in the Mekong Delta. The four impacting factors that the study has found out include trust, perceived benefit, support policy, and payment terms. Most importantly, the study has demonstrated that relationship quality has a positive correlation with loyalty among parties in the regional rice supply chain.
Rescue Strategies in Anterior Circulation Stroke with Failed Mechanical Thrombectomy—A Retrospective Observational Study (RAFT)

Context: Recanalization failure rate in mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for large vessel occlusions is up to 30%. Outcome greatly depends on recanalization success and, thus, there is an urgent need to adopt new strategies to improve recanalization. Aims: To report on the feasibility, safety, and outcome of rescue strategies (stenting and/or angioplasty) in cases of failed MT for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in anterior circulation. Materials and Methods: It was a retrospective observational study where patients undergoing MT were divided into two groups. The first group (MT-only) was of patients who had undergone only MT with the standard tools (stentriever and/or aspiration). The second group (MT-plus) consisted of patients who underwent a rescue procedure after failure of the standard MT. The two groups were compared based on the demographics, risk factors, stroke severity, and the extent of infarct on imaging. The angiographic findings, procedural details, periprocedural care, and angiographic and clinical outcome were also compared. Results: Out of 181 cases, 142 were in MT-only while 39 were included in MT-plus group. The two groups had comparable baseline stroke severity, extent of infarct on imaging and door to puncture time. The MT-plus patients had significantly longer time of onset and puncture to recanalization time. The clinical outcome was favorable in both groups with 57.7% and 59% patients achieving mRS 0–2 in MT-only and MT-plus groups, respectively. Successful recanalization was achieved in 80.3% and 89.7% in MT-only and MT-plus groups, respectively. There was no significant increase in symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage and mortality after rescue procedures. Conclusions: Rescue stenting and/or angioplasty after failed MT is a safe and effective recanalization method for AIS in anterior circulation without increasing mortality or morbidity.
Procedurally Generated Age-related Visual Deficits in Virtual Reality Environments

The simulation of visual deﬁcits associated with aging has been the subject of numerous investigations both in real environments with the use of aging suits and in immersive environments with the use of Extended Reality experiences. However, there is a dearth of heterogeneity and randomness, which characterize the age-related conditions and are important aspects in human-like simulations. Towards this end, procedurally generated age-related deﬁcits are simulated in Virtual Reality environments, giving the possibility to experience these deﬁcits and their nuances in real time. Our work is drawing upon state-of-the-art feature-based approaches, such as foveated rendering and procedural noise, to provide realistic effects. A pilot assessment is conducted through a visual performance task, while eye-tracking data are recorded. The preliminary results provide a ﬁrst evaluation of the simulation’s effectiveness in inducing, in normal subjects, a visual behavior similar to that of real patients.
Thermal expansion of FeNi Invar and zinc-blende CdTe from the view point of local structure

Thermal expansion of FeNi Invar and zinc-blende CdTe was investigated from the view point of local structure using the extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopic data and the path-integral effective classical potential (PIECP) Monte Carlo computational simulations. In this Review article, first the quantum statistical perturbation theory is intuitively described to see different character concerning thermal expansion between the quantum and classical theories. The diatomic Br2 molecule is employed as a simple example. Second, the PIECP theory is briefly described to note advantages and disadvantages of this simulation technique. Historical background is also discussed for the EXAFS investigation of thermal expansion based on the quantum statistical theories. The results of the FeNi Invar alloy are then summarized. The origin of zero thermal expansion in the FeNi alloy is ascribed to the so-called Invar effect that implies the variation of the electronic structure of Fe atoms depending on temperature. Zero thermal expansion at low temperature is however found to originate from the vibrational quantum effect. It is also noted that the interatomic distances of Fe-Fe, Fe-Ni, and Ni-Ni pairs are slightly but meaningfully different from each other, although the alloy exhibit a simple fcc crystal. Such a pairdependent difference is also true for thermal expansion and we will discuss thermal expansion from the local point of view, which is interestingly different from the lattice thermal expansion significantly. Finally, the results of the zinc blende (or diamond) structure are presented. Although the origin of negative thermal expansion in these tetrahedral crystals is known as a result of classical vibrational anomaly within the Newton dynamics theory, the quantum statistical simulation is found to be essential to reproduce the negative thermal expansion of CdTe. It is emphasized that the vibrational quantum effect and classical anharmonicity are of great importance for the understanding of low-temperature thermal expansion as well as the elastic constants.

The Moderating Role of Demographic Factors in the Relationship among Job Satisfaction, Work Environment, Work Motivation to Employee Performance

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of job satisfaction, work environment, and work motivation on employee performance and to determine the role of gender and duration as demographic factors that moderate the relationship between job satisfaction, work environment, work motivation, and employee performance. The object of this study is employees with staff positions working in telecommunications companies to PT. XL Axiata, PT. Indosat Ooredoo, and PT. Telekomunikasi Indonesia (Telkomsel) located in Jakarta. This study uses a quantitative approach which will use a questionnaire measuring tool. The total sample of this study was 590 respondents using a simple random sampling technique. To analyze the data used univariate cell means test and multiple linear regression test. The results of this study conclude that job satisfaction, work environment, and work motivation have a significant effect on employee performance. Demographic factors that become moderating have an influence on employee performance, but the exception for male gender is not better than women in job satisfaction, work environment, and work motivation on employee performance, while for work duration more than two years it is better than less than two years in the work environment and work motivation on employee performance, and are inversely related to job satisfaction.
Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Airbnb market in Budapest

Several researches highlighted the outstanding importance of security and trust in tourism. Natural disasters, pandemics, political turmoil, all have their influence on trust and security in tourism. As the experiences of the last decades show, pandemics have significant and immediate negative effects on travel decisions. The COVID-19 pandemic and the related travel restrictions influenced both global and national tourism flows in 2020, e.g., through the occupancy rates of hotels and P2P accommodations. However only a handful of studies dealt with the spatial aspects of these effects. This paper aims to analyse the impact of COVID-19 on the Airbnb market in Budapest using data from AirDNA, the spatial and temporal characteristics of the decline in Airbnb offers and bookings. The significance of the study comes from the widely debated social and rental market effects of Airbnb. As our results show, similarly to the previous years, Airbnb occupancy had a certain seasonality in 2020. Both the number of guests and the overall revenue decreased compared to 2019. Consequently, many hosts decided to leave the platform, thus the number of available Airbnb listings decreased significantly. The long-term effects of this decrease are uncertain – and the same applies for future effects of P2P accommodations on the rental market of Budapest. © 2021
