The future of housing estates in the post-socialist cities: the case of Budapest

Are housing estates, especially large-scale estates built during from late 1960s to early 1970s, destined to be the 'new ghettos' for the 'post-socialist underclass' in eastern European cities as postulated by FAßMANN, H. and LICHTENBERGER, E. (1995). Or will housing estates be seen as an integral part of the housing market where a wide variety of groups, classes, age groups, et cetera will reside? These questions regarding the role of housing estates in the Hungarian housing market are not new, as earlier research regarding equality in allocation has pointed out. Even though the Hungarian housing system had many advantages as compared to other socialist countries, and perhaps western systems (FRENCH, R. A. and HAMILTON, F. 1979), it still had major inherent inequalities. COMPTON, P. (1979) noted that certain elite groups within society, such as leading civil servants or enterprise managers, were favoured, however, in being accorded special provision and that those in the poorest conditions are not necessarily re-housed in the bright new estates. SZELENYI, I. and KONRÁD, GY. (1969) and SZELÉNYI, I. (1983) argued that bureaucrats and intellectuals were over-represented in the higher-quality, state-built housing estates of the 1960s, whilst lower-strata groups were not accorded such privileges. Therefore, SZELENYI, I. (1983) contended that the system of housing allocation in Hungary did not go to correct other inequalities, but tended to reinforce and exacerbate existing inequalities.
Investing Strategies as Stochastic Oscillator Indicators Staying in Overreaction Zones for Consecutive Days with Big Data Concerns

Stock price overreaction seems always regarded as an essential issue in recent decades. Due to big data concerns, this study explores whether investors can make profits by trading the constituent stocks of DJ30, FTSE100, and SSE50 as stochastic oscillator indicator (SOI) staying in diverse overreaction zones including overbought and oversold, stricter overbought and oversold, and extreme overbought and oversold zones for consecutive days. Although we argue that the SOI staying in overreaction zones for consecutive days is often appeared in the real world, this issue, to our knowledge, seems unexplored in the existing literature. Results show that momentum strategies are appropriate for holding these stocks in the long run as the SOI staying in overbought zones, whereas contrarian strategies are proper for holding these stocks in the short run as the SOI staying in oversold zones. These revealed results may be beneficial for investors to trade these stocks as the SOI staying in overreaction zones for consecutive days.
An Investigation of Nurse Clinicians’ Opinions on Standardized Training Methods for Nurses

Objective: We try to explore new standardized training methods for nurses to further improve the standardized training system for nurse clinicians. Methods: Based on study of previous literature, we used self-designed questionnaires to investigate 262 nurse clinicians. Their opinions on through what training methods they most expect to receive the 25 standardized training contents and the common ways through which they acquire professional knowledge were collected. Results: Most nurses expect the 25 training contents for new nurses to be imparted through instruction of supervisors and intensive teaching mode; the nurses prefer diverisified training methods; they acquire professional nursing knowledge mainly through textbooks, lectures and training on special topics, internet, new media (WeChat, QQ or Official Accounts), literature database searching and other channels. There is significant difference in the number of nurses who acquire professional nursing knowledge through new media between new nurses, and middle and senior nurses (χ2=5.828, P=0.016). Conclusions: When giving standardized training for new nurses, we should choose appropriate training methods according to the training contents. Diversified training can meet different needs of different nurses. We encourage new standardized training mode combined with internet and new media to save training cost and improve training effect.
Pretreatment HIV drug Resistance and Treatment Failure in Non-Italian HIV-1-Infected Patients Enrolled in ARCA

Background An increase in pretreatment drug resistance (PDR) to first-line antiretroviral therapy (ART) in low-income countries has been recently described. Herein we analyse the prevalence of PDR and risk of virological failure (VF) over time among migrants to Italy enrolled in ARCA. Methods HIV-1 sequences from ART-naive patients of non-Italian nationality were retrieved from ARCA database from 1998 to 2017. PDR was defined by at least one mutation from the reference 2009 WHO surveillance list. Results Protease/reverse transcriptase sequences from 1,155 patients, mainly migrants from sub-Saharan Africa (SSA; 42%), followed by Latin America (LA; 25%) and Western countries (WE; 21%), were included. PDR was detected in 8.6% of sequences (13.1% versus 5.8% for B and non-B strains, respectively; P<0.001), 2.1% of patients carried a PDR for protease inhibitors (PIs; 2.1% versus 2.3%; P=0.893), 3.9% for nucleoside/ nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs; 6.8% versus 2.1%; P<0.001) and 4.3% for non-nucleoside/ nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs; 6.3% versus 3.1%; P=0.013). Overall, prevalence of PDR over the years remained stable, while it decreased for PIs in LA (P=0.021) and for NRTIs (P=0.020) among migrants from WE. Having more than one class of PDR (P=0.015 versus absence of PDR), higher viral load at diagnosis (P=0.008) and being migrants from SSA (P=0.001 versus WE) were predictive of VF, while a recent calendar year of diagnosis (P<0.001) was protective for VF. Conclusions PDR appeared to be stable over the years in migrants to Italy enrolled in ARCA; however, it still remains an important cause of VF together with viral load at diagnosis.
River Otters ( Lontra canadensis ) in Southcentral Alaska : Distribution , Relative Abundance , and Minimum Population Size Based on Coastal Latrine Site Surveys Final Report July 30 , 2009

In the aftermath of the Exxon Valdez oil spill (EVOS), studies of coastal river otters (Lontra canadensis) in PWS indicated they are a keystone species for the land-margin ecosystem and a sentinel species for monitoring levels of environmental contamination. In 2004-2007, we surveyed latrine sites and used DNA fingerprinting to establish baseline information on the distribution, relative abundance, and minimum number of river otters alive in KEFJ, KATM, LACL, PWS, and KOD, Alaska. We also assessed connectivity and geneflow among these otter populations and identified parameters that may contribute to differences in abundance and distribution of river otters in these areas. We surveyed approximately 2,000 km of shoreline and sampled fresh feces from
Problems and Prospects of Cocoa Production in Nigeria Economy: A Review

Despite the rapid growth in its production and positive impact in the nation’s economy, cocoa production in Nigeria has been witnessing drastic reduction due to the negligence in agriculture since the discovery of crude oil in commercial quantity in Nigeria. Its production has also been ravaged with the problems of low soil fertility, climate change, global price fluctuation and insufficiency processing firms. The problems militating against cocoa production and its contribution to Nigeria’s economy over four decadeswa examined in this study. It was observed that over decades of cocoa production in Nigeria, about 80% of the annual output are still being exported to the countries of the north in its raw form without local processing. This is because the processing capacity in the country is very low given inadequate local firms involvement. Therefore, production rate has been oscillating due to less attention from the stakeholders. They following recommendations were made: a review of the export policies on agricultural produce was necessary, establishment of local cocoa processing firms through public private partnership initiative and more attention on agriculture than before.
Analysis of a subgroup of patients within a randomized trial

Background Teriparatide (parathyreoid hormone; PTH 1-34) increases skeletal mass in humans and improves fracture heal-ing in animals. A recent randomized multicenter trial of nonoper-ated distal radial fractures showed a moderate shortening of the time to restoration of cortical continuity by treatment with 20 µg (low-dose) teriparatide per day, but not with 40 µg (high-dose). As radiographic cortical continuity appears late in the healing pro-cess, perhaps too late for clinical relevance, we studied the quali-tative appearance of the callus 5 weeks after fracture. Methods One third of the patients of the international trial were treated at Linkoping University Hospital. The multicenter trial did not evaluate early callus formation. We therefore made a blinded qualitative scoring of the callus at 5 weeks in our 27 patients. Callus formation was arbitrarily classified as rich, inter-mediate, or poor. Results 9 patients were classified as rich (none had received placebo, 3 low-dose teriparatide, and 6 high-dose teriparatide). 9 patients were classified as intermediate (1 had received placebo, 5 low-dose, and 3 high-dose). 9 patients were classified as poor (7 had received placebo, 1 low-dose, and 1 high-dose) (p < 0.001). Interpretation This is a post hoc subgroup analysis of an out-come variable, which was not in the official protocol. The results must therefore be interpreted with caution. However, in combi-nation with the results of the larger trial, the data suggest that radiographic quality at an early time point might be a sensitive variable, perhaps better than time to cortical continuity. More-over, teriparatide appeared to improve early callus formation in distal radial fractures.
Early cretaceous ridge subduction in the Shandong Peninsula, Eastern China, indicated by Laoshan A-type granite

Early Cretaceous A-type granites are widespread in the Shandong Peninsula, which can be used to elucidate the tectonic evolution of the eastern China and the destruction of the North China Craton. However, their genesis is still controversial. Several competing models, ranging from slab break-off, postorogenic extension, foundering of the lower crust and ridge subduction, were proposed. Here, we report zircon U–Pb ages, whole-rock and apatite geochemical compositions of the Laoshan granite and discuss its tectonic implications. The Laoshan granite has typical characteristics of A-type granite with high FeOT/(FeOT + MgO) ratios (0.90–0.97) and 10000*Ga/Al ratios (2.70–3.36) and high total alkali (Na2O + K2O: 7.95–8.70 wt%) contents and Zr+Nb+Ce+Y (most >350 ppm) concentrations. The Laoshan granite is further classified as A1-type based on the Yb/Ta-Y/Nb and Ce/Nb-Y/Nb diagrams and the Nb-Y-3Ga and Nb-Y-Ce triangular discriminant diagrams. Zircon U–Pb dating of two Laoshan granite samples yielded emplacement ages of 117.8 ± 1.0 Ma and 120.1 ± 1.3 Ma, respectively. The oxygen fugacity of the Laoshan granite magma is low, as indicated by zircon Ce4+/Ce3+ ratios (most <300). The crystallization temperature of zircon varies significantly, ranging from 652 to 830°C. The apatite compositions show that the Laoshan granite has high F (2.09–2.72 wt%) and low Cl (0.01–0.09 wt%) contents, consistent with influence by fluid released from the decomposition of phengite. Apatite rare earth elements show that mantle sources are also involved in Laoshan A-type granite. Combined previous studies of A-type granitic plutons in the Shandong Province and the Lower Yangtze River belt with the drifting history of the Pacific plate, we propose that the flat subduction of the spreading ridge between the Pacific and the Izanagi plates was responsible for the formation of Laoshan A-type granite.
Diversification of Sinorhizobium populations associated with Medicago polymorpha and Medicago lupulina in purple soil of China

The double selection of environment adaptation and host specificity forced the diversification of rhizobia in nature. In the tropical region of China, Medicago polymorpha and Medicago lupulina are widely distributed, particularly in purple soil. However, the local distribution and diversity of rhizobia associated with these legumes has not been systematically investigated. To this end, root nodules of M. polymorpha and M. lupulina grown in purple soil at seven locations in Yunnan Province of China were collected for rhizobial isolation. The obtained rhizobia were characterized by RFLP of 16S–23S rRNA intergenic spacer, BOXAIR fingerprinting, and phylogeny of housekeeping and symbiosis genes. As result, a total of 91 rhizobial strains were classified into species Sinorhizobium medicae and S. meliloti, while three nodC gene types were identified among them. S. medicae containing nodC of type I was dominant in farmlands associated with M. polymorpha; while S. meliloti harboring nodC of type III was dominant in wild land nodulated by M. lupulina. For both rhizobial species, greater genetic diversity was detected in the populations isolated from their preferred host plant. A high level of genetic differentiation was observed between the two Sinorhizobium species, and gene flow was evident within the populations of the same species derived from different soil types, indicating that rhizobial evolution is likely associated with the soil features. To examine the effects of environmental features on rhizobial distribution, soil physicochemical traits and rhizobial genotypes were applied for constrained analysis of principle coordinates, which demonstrated that soil features like pH, nitrogen and sodium were the principle factors governing the rhizobial geographical distribution. Altogether, both S. medicae and S. meliloti strains could naturally nodulate with M. polymorpha and M. lupulina, but the rhizobium-legume symbiosis compatibility determined by both the host species and soil factors was also highlighted.
Cavotricuspid isthmus ablation for atrial flutter guided by contact force related parameters: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Background Contact force (CF) and related parameters have been evaluated as an effective guide mark for pulmonary vein isolation, yet not for linear ablation of the cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) dependent atrial flutter (AFL). We thus studied the efficacy and safety of CF related parameter-guided ablation for CTI-AFL. Methods Systematic search was performed on databases involving PubMed, EMbase, Cochrane Library and Web of Science (through June 2022). Original articles comparing CF related parameter-guided ablation and conventional parameter-guided ablation for CTI-AFL were included. One-by-one elimination, subgroup analysis and meta-regression were used for heterogeneity test between studies. Results Ten studies reporting on 761 patients were identified after screening with inclusion and exclusion criteria. Radiofrequency (RF) duration was significantly shorter in CF related parameter-guided group (p = 0.01), while procedural time (p = 0.13) and fluoroscopy time (p = 0.07) were no significant difference between two groups. CF related parameter-guided group had less RF lesions (p = 0.0003) and greater CF of catheter-tissue (p = 0.0002). Touch-up needed after first ablation line was less in CF related parameter-guided group (p = 0.004). In addition, there were no statistical significance between two groups on acute conduction recovery rates (p = 0.25), recurrence rates (p = 0.92), and complication rates (p = 0.80). Meta-regression analysis revealed no specific covariate as an influencing factor for above results (p > 0.10). Conclusion CF related parameters guidance improves the efficiency of CTI ablation, with the better catheter-tissue contact, the lower RF duration and the comparable safety as compared with conventional method, but does not improve the acute success rate and long-term outcome.
Genetic components for fodder yield and agronomic characters in maize lines

In maize hybrid development, it is essential to know the parent’s performance per se in different environments as well as the genetic base in populations in order to facilitate selection of superior lines. The objective of this work was to estimate the genetic variance and heritability while assessing agronomic behavior in 237 maize fodder lines featuring different inbred levels and origin in two different locations. Traits such as plant height, cob height, stem diameter, and fodder yield were taken. A combined variance analysis was carried out using this information. The variable mean squares showing significant differences were used to estimate the genetic variance components. Significant differences were observed (p ≤ 0.01) for the line variation source and location × line interaction in all assessed characteristics. The genetic parameter estimation provided information on the existing genetic variance and heritability among the population which is important for the progress of the selection process. Lines CLWN701, CLWN345, CML476, CML216, CLWQ232, and CML 528 measured 74.8, 72.2, 67.7, 65.8, 63.8 and 62.5 t ha, respectively showed the highest yield potential for green fodder.
Survey of understanding and awareness of fertility preservation in pediatric patients: Is conversation about fertility preservation unpleasant for pediatric patients?

Objective To verify understanding and awareness of fertility preservation (FP) in pediatric patients undergoing FP treatments. Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted before and after explanation of fertility issues and FP treatments for patients 6–17 years old who visited or were hospitalized for the purpose of ovarian tissue cryopreservation (OTC) or oocyte cryopreservation (OC), or sperm cryopreservation between October 2018 and April 2022. This study was approved by the institutional review board at St. Marianna University School of Medicine (No. 4123, UMIN000046125). Result Participants in the study comprised 36 children (34 girls, 2 boys). Overall mean age was 13.3 ± 3.0 years. The underlying diseases were diverse, with leukemia in 14 patients (38.9%), brain tumor in 4 patients (11.1%). The questionnaire survey before the explanation showed that 19 patients (52.8%) wanted to have children in the future, but 15 (41.7%) were unsure of future wishes to raise children. And most children expressed some degree of understanding of the treatment being planned for the underlying disease (34, 94.4%). Similarly, most children understood that the treatment would affect their fertility (33, 91.7%). When asked if they would like to hear a story about how to become a mother or father after FP which including information of FP, half answered “Don’t mind” (18, 50.0%). After being provided with information about FP treatment, all participants answered that they understood the adverse effects on fertility of treatments for the underlying disease. Regarding FP treatment, 32 children (88.9%) expressed understanding for FP and 26 (72.2%) wished to receive FP. “Fear” and “Pain” and “Costs” were frequently cited as concerns about FP. Following explanations, 33 children (91.7%) answered “Happy I heard the story” and no children answered, “Wish I hadn’t heard the story”. Finally, 28 of the 34 girls (82.4%) underwent OTC and one girl underwent OC. Discussion The fact that all patients responded positively to the explanations of FP treatment is very informative. This is considered largely attributable to the patients themselves being involved in the decision-making process for FP. Conclusions Explanations of FP for children appear valid if age-appropriate explanations are provided.
Association between spinal cord compression ratio in magnetic resonance imaging, initial neurological status, and recovery after ventral slot in 57 dogs with cervical disc extrusion

This retrospective, unblinded, single rater study evaluated images obtained from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of dogs with cervical intervertebral disc extrusion before being submitted to ventral slot decompression (VSD). Dogs were re-evaluated systematically at 10 and 30 days after VSD. The objectives of this study were to investigate the associations between the following parameters: (1) The maximal spinal cord compression ratio (SCCR) as seen on transverse MRI and pre-surgical neurological status (NS) grade; we hypothesized that dogs with greater SCCR will have worse pre-surgical NS grade at presentation; (2) Pre-surgical NS grade and postoperative recovery; we hypothesized that worse pre-surgical NS grade will be associated with longer postoperative recovery time; (3) SCCR and postoperative recovery; we hypothesized that dogs with higher SCCR will have longer recovery time; (4) Location of extrusion (cranial vs. caudal) and initial NS grade and outcomes; we hypothesized that caudal cervical extrusion will have worse NS grade and longer time to recovery; (5) Longitudinal extension of ventral CSF signal loss on HASTE pulse sequence and NS grade and time to recovery; we hypothesized that dogs with longer HASTE CSF attenuation will have higher NS grade and longer time to recovery. There was no significant association between SCCR and NS grade, suggesting that this relationship in the cervical region is similar to what is observed in the thoracolumbar region, rejecting our first hypothesis. There was a significant difference between ambulatory tetraparesis dogs versus non-ambulatory tetraparesis dogs regarding complete recovery at 10 days: dogs with NS grade 1, 2, or 3 overall recovered faster than dogs with NS grade 4. However, there was no significant difference between these groups regarding complete recovery at 30 days, thereby accepting our second hypothesis at 10 days and rejecting it at 30 days. There was no correlation between SCCR and recovery time, rejecting our third hypothesis. Caudal cervical extrusion did not show higher NS grade or longer recovery time than cranial extrusion, rejecting our fourth hypothesis. CSF attenuation length ratio on HASTE images was not significantly correlated with NS grade but weakly correlate with post-surgical recovery time, partially accepting our fifth hypothesis.
