Correlation of clinical and ultrasonographic features with histopathology in post-menopausal bleeding

Postmenopausal bleeding is a common clinical condition with an incidence of 10%. It represents approximately 5% of all gynaecological visits and is generally regarded as an ominous and serious alarm of genital pathologies. The dictum is ‘postmenopausal bleeding indicates malignancy unless proved otherwise’. According to Indian cancer registry, there is an increasing trend for corpus uteri malignancies in the past two decades. About 90% of patients with endometrial carcinoma presents with postmenopausal bleeding however, only 10% with this symptom have endometrial carcinoma. Clinical evaluation should include abdominal. speculum and bimanual examination to assess atrophic vaginitis and to ABSTRACT
Is the Risk of Malignancy Index a predictive tool for preoperative differentiation between borderline ovarian tumor and ovarian cancer?

Purpose: To determine an appropriate Risk of Malignancy Index (RMI) cutoff value by comparative analysisof the four malignancy risk indices for distinguishing between borderline ovarian tumor (BOT) and ovarian cancer (OC). Materials and Methods: Retrospective analysis of the medical records of 339 patients (115 BOTsand 224 OCs). Results: There were no significant differences in the area under the ROC curve (AUC) for RMI 1, RMI 2, RMI 3, and RMI 4 (0.792, 0.791, 0.785, and 0.785, respectively). However, the diagnostic capability of the RMI was significantly greater than that of other factors. Conclusion: This study is the first to investigate the performance of the four Risk of Malignancy Indices for distinguishing between BOT and invasive OC. Although there were no significant differences between RMI scores, the RMIs were very effective at predicting an accurate preoperative diagnosis in patients with all BOT and OC histotypes.
Assessment of Knowledge Co-production in Adaptation to Rainfall Variability in Kitui South Sub-county, Kenya

Aims: This study tried to investigate the extent of knowledge co-production between indigenous farmers and agricultural extension in dry lands. Study Design: The study adopted survey research design where both qualitative and quantitative approaches were used. Place and Duration of Study: The study was carried out in Kitui South sub-County in the semi-arid Southeastern Kenya. Data was collected between June 2019 and August 2019. Methodology: An enumerator-administered questionnaire was used to collect data from 311 household heads. Purposive and proportional sampling techniques were used to select households which participated in the study. Data was analyzed with the aid of SPSS Version 20. Percentages and proportions were used to establish instances of knowledge co-production between indigenous and modern scientific methods of farming. Results: The study established that all households used both indigenous and scientific methods of farming except in irrigation and crop harvesting methods. The highest co-production was between use of locally preserved seeds and use of modern seasonal climate forecast (71.4%), use of traditional seasonal climate forecasts and use of modern seasonal climate (64.6%) as well as use of Original Research Article Mwatu et al.; AJAEES, 38(5): 87-97, 2020; Article no.AJAEES. 57058 88 traditional crop storage and use modern seasonal climate forecast (59.2%). Seasonal climate forecasting was the leading corresponding method of knowledge co-production in the study area. Conclusion: The study concludes that use of both indigenous and modern methods of farming can improve adaptation to rainfall variability. The study recommends access to adequate water to promote knowledge co-production on irrigation which was lacking yet very critical in dealing with rainfall variability in the study area.
ANALYSIS OF COMPOUNDS AND IMMUNOSTIMULATORY PROPERTIES OF CURCUMA MANGGA RHIZOMES ON MALE MICE

The current study was carried out to determine the constituents in ethanol extract of Curcuma mangga rhizomes and its immunostimulatory effects of the extract on cellular and humoral immunity of male mice. Determination of constituents in the extract was conducted using Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography. The ethanol extract of Curcuma mangga was comprised to delayed-type hypersensitivity response and haemagglutinating antibody titre tests for its immunostimulatory potential. The test animal received extract at doses of 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg BW for 7 days after sensitized by bovine Red Blood Cells. Cellular response was measured by increase of paw volume, meanwhile humoral antibody response was determined by hemagglutination method. Quercetin was determined quantitatively in the extract by a validated reversed phase Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography method. The footpad thickness and antibody titre of male mice after treatment with ethanol extract of Curcuma mangga were significantly higher as compared to negative control (P<0.05). The extract of Curcuma mangga at a dose of 400 mg/kg BW depicted stronger immnumostimulatory activity as compared to positive control. The result indicates that the ethanol extract of Curcuma mangga shows immunostimulatory activity, emphasizing its potential to be developed as a therapeutic agent.
What Makes Airbnb Experiences Enjoyable? The Effects of Environmental Stimuli on Perceived Enjoyment and Repurchase Intention

While scholarly inquiry into Airbnb has experienced an exponential growth in the tourism literature, the role of the environmental stimuli of Airbnb experiences in creating consumer enjoyment is underexplored. Adopting the Mehrabian-Russell model, this study proposes a conceptual framework to investigate the linkages between three well-documented experiential attributes of Airbnb accommodations, perceived enjoyment, and repurchase intention. The results of two separate empirical studies with recent Airbnb users consistently show significant influences of authenticity and home benefits on perceived enjoyment, which subsequently drive repurchase intention, while social interaction was not found significant. The results of the model comparison and mediation analysis also converge across the two studies, providing strong support for the mediating role of perceived enjoyment as a mechanism that underlies the relationships between the environmental stimuli and repurchase intention. The findings provide important insights into what Airbnb attributes contribute to positive emotional responses and subsequently forming favorable behavioral consequences.
The Impacts of Earnings Quality on Dividend Policy of Listed Enterprises in Vietnam

The paper examines the impact of earnings quality (EQ) on the dividend policy of enterprises in Vietnam. We consider the EQ in terms of multiple dimensions such as accruals quality, earnings persistence, revelance and timeliness of earning information. The study uses regression method according to Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), with EQ as an intermediate variable, data collected at enterprises listed on the stock market in Vietnam in the period of 2010 - 2018, with 4541 observations. The research results have found that EQ has a positive influence on dividend policy on all aspects of EQ. The empirical research results are a useful basis to help enterprises improve EQ, thereby helping business in implementing appropriate dividend policy.
The complete plastome sequence from the family Malpighiaceae, Bunchosia argentea (Jacq.) DC

Abstract In this study, we determined the complete plastome sequence of Bunchosia argentea (Jacq.) DC. (Malpighiaceae) (NCBI acc. no. MK390344). The gene order and the structure of the B. argentea plastome are collinear with those of the typical plastomes of land plants. The complete plastome size is 158,741 bp in length and consists of a large single-copy region of 88,345 bp and a small single-copy region of 16,816 bp, which are separated by a pair of 26,790 bp-long inverted repeat regions. The overall A-T content of the plastome sequence is 63.5%. The plastome contains 110 genes, of which 76 are protein-coding genes, 30 are tRNA genes, and four are rRNA genes. The rpl32 was lost and two genes (infA and rps7) were pseudogenized. Sixteen genes contain one intron and two genes have two introns. A total of 87 simple sequence repeat loci were identified within the genome. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that B. argentea and two Byrsonima species formed a clade with 100% bootstrap support.
Financial Strategy Formulation and Implementation under Economic Uncertainty: Ukrainian companies’ case

Factors of economic uncertainty are considered. Economic uncertainty factors’ effect on financial managerial decisions is studied. Financial strategy matrix is proposed on the basis of a sample of Ukrainian companies. The proposed financial strategy matrix covers both financial and market goals – according to the BSC methodology. Thus, in the proposed tool, financial goals are reflected by the level of leverage A/E (Assets-to-Equity), market goals in turn are represented by ROA level; combination of the financial goal (A/E) and market goal (ROA) produces ROE, i.e. level of value creation for stakeholders. Within the proposed methodology financial strategy uses an analytical tool that combines financial and market goals of the enterprise, where the abscissa axis plots ROA level, the ordinate axis plots A/E level. The algorithm of making managerial decisions on financial strategy is described on an example of a company from selected sample – PJSC “Carlsberg Ukraine” – over 2014-2018. A set of managerial decisions targeted at further financial and market position is proposed.

Variation in yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) catches related to El Niño-Southern Oscillation events at the entrance to the Gulf of California

"Fishery catch data on yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) were examined to study the effects of El Nino events between 1990 and 1999 for an area in the northeastern tropical Pacific (18−24°N, 112−104°W). The data were extracted from a database of logbook records from the Mexican tuna purse-seine fleet. Latitudinal distribution of the catches increased from south to north for the 10-year period. Highest catches and effort were concentrated between 22°N and 23°N. This area accumulated 48% of the total catch over the 10¬year period. It was strongly correlated with El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events. At least two periods of exceptionally high catches occurred following El Nino events in 1991 and 1997. Peaks of catches were triggered by the arrival of positive anomalies of sea surface temperature (SST) to the area. A delay of two to four months was observed between the occurrence of maximum SST anomalies at the equator and peaks of catch. Prior to these two events, negative SST anomalies were the dominant feature in the study area and catch was extremely low. This trend of negative SST anomalies with low catches followed by positive SST anomalies and high catches may be attributed to northward yellowfin tuna migration patterns driven by El Nino forcing, a result that contrasts with the known behavior of decreasing relative abundance of these tuna after El Nino events in the eastern Pacific. However, this decrease in relative abundance may be the result of a local or subregional effect. "
Punitive welfare reform and claimant mental health: The impact of benefit sanctions on anxiety and depression

Funding information Economic and Social Research Council, Grant/ Award Number: ES/J500136/1 Abstract Internationally, policymakers assume that sanctioning claimants of unemployment benefits will engender both improved employment outcomes and wider positive effects. A growing evidence-base challenges these expectations, though additional insight is needed from large-scale longitudinal research. This article contributes by conducting a quantitative investigation into the mental health impacts of benefit sanctions. To do so, it focuses on a recent period in UK sanctions policy in which rates of sanctions varied markedly and their length was substantially increased. Using quarterly panel data for local authorities in England (Q3 2010–Q4 2014) and fixed effects models that control for important confounders, the analysis provides robust evidence that Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA) sanctions lead to increases in self-reported anxiety and depression. Evidence of this adverse impact is particularly clear following the increase in the length of sanctions in October 2012. The results have important implications for contemporary social security policy, which is underpinned by a similarly punitive sanctions regime. Whilst additional individual-level research is needed to fully consider the causal relationships in operation, the findings support a precautionary approach that should seek to minimise the harm associated with sanctions.

Establishment of a Rapid Detection Method for Rice Blast Fungus Based on One-Step Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP).

Rice blast is one of the most serious diseases for rice, and controlling the filamentous fungus Magnaporthe oryzae that causes rice blast is crucial for global food security. Typically, early infected rice does not show symptoms. Therefore, the early diagnosis of rice blast is particularly important to avoid uncontrollable propagation of rice blast fungus. In the present work, a rapid and efficient loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method was developed to detect the pathogen at the early infected stage of rice. The Alb1 superfamily hypothetical protein MGG_04322, a nuclear shuttling factor involved in ribosome and melanin biogenesis, was chosen as the target for designing the LAMP primers. The LAMP assay enabled rapid detection of as little as 10 pg of pure genomic DNA of M. oryzae. In addition, we established the quantitative LAMP (q-LAMP) detection system to quantify the conidia of rice blast fungus. The q-LAMP assay enabled rapid detection (within 35 min) of the fungal spores at a sensitivity of 3.2 spores/ml. In addition, the assay sets up the linearization formula of the standard curve as y = 0.3066 + 15.33x (where x = amplification of time), inferring that spore number = 100.60y. In addition, the q-LAMP assay was successfully used to detect the presence of the virulence strains of M. oryzae (wild type) in comparison with that of the two mutant strains by quantifying the biomass within host tissue. These results provide a useful and convenient tool for detecting M. oryzae that could be applied in the incubation period of rice blast before symptoms appear.
Recognizing, reproducing and resisting West as method discourse: An analysis of senior secondary Asia-related history curriculum enactment

Abstract Across the world, history curriculum is often criticized for being ethnocentric or for privileging a nation’s preferred historical narratives through which it imagines itself and the world. It is also a site through which ethnocentric narratives can be resisted. Within these debates there tends to be little consideration of the influences on the curricular decision-making of the teachers who actually enact curriculum. After decades of critique of Asia education policy in Australia, assumptions are still made about the so-called Eurocentric ways teachers engage with Asia-related history curriculum. The research reported on in this article seeks to establish a more complex understanding of these curricular practices in order to make visible the dynamics that shape the discursive construction of “Asia” and the “West” in the context of senior secondary history in Victoria, Australia. This discourse analysis of interviews with Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) History teachers demonstrates the potential of Chen’s (2010) Asia as method as an innovative conceptual framework for analyzing how the West as method discourse gets recognized, reproduced and resisted in this context. It argues critical self-reflexivity is crucial for understanding the impact imperial thinking continues to have on subjectivity formation and for multiplying the reference points through which Asia, self and other are imagined by curriculum.
Implementation of walk-through audits for designing energy management system: A first step towards an efficient campus

The purpose of this study is to design a concept of energy management control system (EMCS) at the UNSADA campus, Jakarta, Indonesia by utilizing the results of the previous walkthrough audit. EMCS is an important first step by involving all parties on campus to be concerned the sustainable energy savings. The energy efficiency program utilizes the campus as an energy laboratory to identify, recommend, implement and evaluate the energy consumption, so that the expected energy efficiency targeted by the top managements can be achieved. This program is motivated by several reasons, such as; to support government policies in reducing dependence on fossil energy by implementing energy conservation programs; as a reflection of compliance with the implementation of educational service buildings (including the campus in Jakarta); a vision as the efficient campus in energy consumption that has been determined by the campus management. To achieve these goals, there are four stages to be done; the preparation, the conducting audit, the audit analysis, and the recommendation for implementation. The results provide an overview of the opportunities to save the energy consumption and to develop EMCS by involving all stack-holders on campus.

Application of a Three-Segment E-learning Mode in Diagnostics Course Based on Rain Classroom

Changes in the educational situation and characteristics of students are posing challenges to modern education. Exploring teaching modes suitable for today’s college students become an important topic. In this study, a new teaching mode of three-segment (pre-, in- and post-class) based on the Rain Classroom e-learning platform was introduced into the processes of teaching Diagnostics Course for students in grade 2015 majoring in clinical medicine. The research were conducted by three-segment including that the teacher shared the pre-class learning materials with students before class, while real-time communication and timely feedback on teaching efficiency in class, and at last homework assignments were shared and still tracked the students, learning after class. The results of the new teaching mode were assessed mainly through the whole teaching and learning performance, final examinations and questionnaires as well. Compared with students in grade 2014 clinical medicine major who were adopted the traditional teaching mode, students in grade 2015 had a significantly higher pass-rate, and the percentage of high-score on the final exam was also higher. In questionnaires, students in grade 2015 generally recognized that the new teaching mode was conducive to improving learning outcomes. In conclusion, the investigation and application of the Rain Classroom platform-based new teaching mode of Diagnostics was a successful trial. This new teaching mode can significantly improve teacher-student interaction; help teachers track students’ learning outcomes throughout the teaching process and effectively regulate the teaching strategies. Fundamentally, it can improve students, learning interest, promote active learning and enhance academic performance among students.
Clinical determination of the nutritional status of companion animals

A well-nourished animal is predisposed to good quality of life, health and high longevity. On the other hand, malnourished animals are predisposed to higher morbidity and mortality rates, recurrent hospitalizations, longer hospitalization times, and high health care expenditures. Malnutrition is associated with metabolic alterations and systemic dysfunctions, such as immunosuppression, impaired healing, and loss of weight due to reduced muscle and adipose mass, in addition to worsening skin and coat appearance. Nutritional assessment quantifies not only malnutrition and overweight but also how much these deviations would influence a patient's prognosis. In addition, the identification of malnourished animals allows the performance of specific nutritional treatments, with consequent clinical improvement. There are several techniques to evaluate nutritional status (NS) in dogs and cats; however, because they are individually limited, it is highly recommended to incorporate different methods before completing each case assessment. This literature review gathered information on the techniques of NS assessment during clinical examination, including anamnesis and physical examination. The importance of the manuscript is justified by the lack of nutritional semiology of small animals in the literature. In summary, there are useful markers of NS in companion animals: weight variation, the muscle mass score (MMS) and the body condition score (BCS). Additionally, the BCS, MMS and body mass index (BMI) assist in determining prognosis.
