Correlation of Lymphocyte-Monocyte Ratio with Grading of Breast Cancer Malignancy

Introduction: Breast cancer cases are increase and fast becoming the leading cause of oncologic mortality among women worldwide. Delay in management will worsen the prognosis of breast cancer patients. The poor prognosis is correlate with high grade of breast cancer malignancy. Histology can be used as an indicator to assess the grade of breast cancer malignancy. In addition, a high predictive value of lymphocyte-monocyte ratio (LMR) has been suggested to indicate favorable prognosis of various cancer, and used as parameters for assessing breast cancer prognosis. Method: This study is a quantitative research, using an observational approach. Laboratory examination results are collected from 43 breast cancer patients who will conduct treatment at Urip Sumoharjo Hospital from June to September 2019. Data are processed by the Spearman rank test using SPSS 22.0. Results: Correlation test results between lymphocyte-monocyte ratio with histological grading of breast cancer obtained a P value of 0.376. Conclusions: Lymphocytes to monocytes ratio (LMR) value cannot be utilize as a parameter for evaluating prognosis of breast cancer.
The Relationship Between Emotional Labor and Organizational Commitment

This research study aiming at revealing the relationship between emotional labor behaviors and organizational commitment perception levels of the instructors working in faculties of education, was designed in the relational screening model. The research was carried out with 365 volunteer instructors selected by proportional cluster sampling method and working in 12 Faculties of Education in ADIM Universities in Turkey. The data of the research was collected by using Organizational Commitment Scale and Emotional Labor Scale. Descriptive and inferential statistical techniques were used in data analysis. As a result of the research, it was revealed that the instructors exhibited surface acting behaviors and affective commitment at the highest level. The instructors emotional labor levels were found to be significantly different according to their educational status and whether they did their job willingly or not; while their organizational commitment levels were found to be significantly different according to their title and whether they did their job willingly or not. It was also found that there were positive, low level and moderate, significant relationships between the instructors’ emotional labor levels and their organizational commitment. It was revealed that the instructors’ genuine acting and deep acting behaviors significantly predicted their affective, normative and overall commitment; while their surface acting, deep acting and genuine acting behaviors significantly predicted their continuance commitment. Various suggestions were made such as increasing emotional labor behavior levels of the instructors and appointing the instructors who are eager to do their job willingly.

Self-efficacy and approaches to learning mathematics among engineering students: empirical evidence for potential causal relations

Theories of self-efficacy and approaches to learning are well-established in the psychology of learning. However, studies on relationships between the primary constructs on which these theories are developed are rarely reported in mathematics education research. Thus, the purpose of the current study is to provide empirical evidence for a potential causal relationship between perceived self-efficacy and approaches to learning. The present study adopts a cross-sectional survey research design that includes 195 engineering students enrolled on a first-year introductory calculus course. The data are collected using two well-developed and validated instruments with established high psychometric properties. Two hypotheses are formulated and tested using a structural equation modelling approach coupled with a weighted least square mean and variance adjusted estimator. The findings show that a high sense of perceived self-efficacy has a strong tendency to induce a deep approach to learning mathematics. In contrast, a low sense of perceived self-efficacy induces a surface approach to learning mathematics with a strong effect. This study represents a shift from the usual correlational studies that characterize quantitative research in mathematics education literature to causal relation research. Therein, causal assumptions are made and tested against the collected data, and some recommendations are made for future studies.
Total‐evidence analysis of an undescribed fauna: resolving the evolution and classification of Australia’s golden trapdoor spiders (Idiopidae: Arbanitinae: Euoplini)

In the trapdoor spider genus Euoplos Rainbow & Pulleine (tribe Euoplini), it was discovered recently that two divergent lineages occur in sympatry in eastern Australia. This challenged the monogeneric classification of the tribe and, in combination with inadequate taxonomic descriptions of some species, precluded comprehensive taxonomic revision. To resolve these issues, we conducted a total‐evidence cladistic analysis on a largely undescribed continental fauna—the first such analysis on a group of Australian Mygalomorphae. We combined multilocus molecular data and/or morphological and behavioural data from all known species from eastern Australia (described and undescribed), plus a subset of Western Australian species, to produce a phylogeny for the tribe. We mapped morphological/behavioural characters onto this to identify clade‐specific diagnostic characters, and applied these data to a generic reclassification of the tribe. We recovered two sympatric lineages in the Euoplini (the “wafer‐door” and “plug‐door/palisade” lineages), and revealed the phylogenetic position of all known eastern Australian species within these. Character mapping revealed morphological and behavioural (burrow architecture) features that allow diagnosis of the lineages and clades within them. We erect a new genus, Cryptoforis gen.n. , to represent the wafer‐door lineage, describe the type species, Cryptoforis hughesae sp.n. , and transfer two species from Euoplos to Cryptoforis: C. tasmanica (Hickman, 1928) and C. victoriensis (Main, 1995). This study resolves phylogenetic structure within the Euoplini, and characterizes clades within the tribe to facilitate future taxonomic revisions. It also demonstrates that, whereas male morphology is more informative, female morphological characters relating to genitalia and the scopulation/spination of the anterior legs display phylogenetic signal in the Euoplini, highlighting the subtle nature of informative female characters in mygalomorph spiders.
Illuminating the trauma of the LGBTQ closet: A cinematic-phenomenological study and film about existential rights

ABSTRACT This phenomenological research study investigated the lived experience of the LGBTQ closet and presents the research findings in two ways: a written hermeneutic interpretation, and a short film called illuminate which expresses the phenomenology of the closet through poetic cinematography. I developed a method called “cinematic-phenomenological research,’ for which I collected and interpreted phenomenological descriptions from five participants about their experience of being closeted about their non-hetero sexual orientations. Then, I collaborated with artists in a process of phenomenological filmmaking to transform the thematic research findings into the film illuminate. Hermeneutic research findings suggest that the LGBTQ closet is lived as a traumatic loss of existential rights – the right to truth, freedom, love, hope, and power. Each scene in illuminate expresses these existential rights cinematically to evoke the sociopolitical trauma of being in the closet, and the healing and liberation of coming out (viewable at www.illuminatethecloset.com). The study introduces an existential rights paradigm for human rights discourse, based on the premise that truth, freedom, love, hope, and power are basic human rights and mental health imperatives. The study also confirms that the closet can induce PTSD symptomology among queer people, and offers insight about how psychotherapists can foster empowerment in the face of sociopolitical trauma among marginalized clients.
Genome-wide Association Study of Strawberry Fruit Quality-related Traits Using a MAGIC Population Derived from Crosses Involving Six Strawberry Cultivars

Cultivated strawberry is one of the important commercial fruits not only in Japan, but around the world. Even so, analyzing regions responsible for fruit quality traits of cultivated strawberry has been very challenging due to the alloploidy and octoploidy of genome conformation. In order to solve this problem, we previously developed a strawberry multi-parent advanced generation inter-cross (MAGIC) population derived from crosses involving six cultivars. Here, we performed genotyping of the MAGIC population with simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers, which were generated from an expressed sequence tag site, and conducted a genome-wide association study of 13 strawberry fruit quality-related traits to reveal associated quantitative trait loci (QTLs). Correlation coefficients among fruit color-related traits, such as fruit surface color (FSC), fruit surface anthocyanin content (FSA), and fruit flesh anthocyanin content (FFA) were relatively higher, but FSC, FSA, and FFA did not show any higher correlation with other traits. Fruit weight (FW), FSC, and fruit firmness, including whole fruit firmness (WFF), fruit surface firmness (FSF), and fruit flesh firmness (FFF), indicated higher year to year correlation coefficients than other fruit quality-related traits. Among FW, FSC, and WFF, there were only two QTLs for FW, five for FSC, and 38 for WFF (the most) and they were detected on all chromosomes. QTLs for some traits shared common flanking simple sequence repeat markers, and allelic differences of one marker affected the variation of other traits. QTLs for fruit firmness were most frequently detected, followed by those for SSC and titratable acidity (TA). Allelic differences in these QTLs negatively affected FSC, the fruit surface anthocyanin content (FSA), and fruit flesh anthocyanin content (FFA), implying that alleles which increase fruit firmness, SSC, and TA lighten fruit color. Similarly, QTLs for FSC, FSA, and FFA mostly negatively affected FSF, FFF, SSC, and TA and did not affect WFF. This indicated that simultaneous improvement in fruit firmness, SSC, and TA is possible with many markers, but improving fruit firmness and deepening fruit color are highly challenging.
Preparation, in vitro and ex-vivo Evaluation of Mirtazapine Nanosuspension and Nanoparticles Incorporated in Orodispersible Tablets

The objective of the present investigation was to enhance the solubility of practically insoluble mirtazapine by preparing nanosuspension, prepared by using solvent anti solvent technology. Mirtazapine is practically insoluble in water which act as antidepressant . It was prepared as nano particles in order to improve its solubility and dissolution rate. Twenty formulas were prepared and different stabilizing agents were used with different concentrations such as poly vinyl pyrrolidone (PVPK-90), poly vinyl alcohol (PVA), poloxamer 188 and poloxamer 407. The ratios of drug to stabilizers used to prepare the nanoparticles were 1: 1 and 1:2. The prepared nanoparticles were evaluated for particle size, entrapment efficiency, dissolution study, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and atomic force microscopy. The percentage of drug entrapment efficiency of F1-F20 was ranged from 78.2% ± 1 to 95.9 % ± 1. The release rate and extent of mirtazapine nanoparticles were inversely proportional to the particle size of the drug i.e. it decreased when particle size increase. It is concluded that the nanoprecipitation have potential to formulate homogenous nanosuspensions with uniform-sized stable nanoparticles of mirtazapine. The prepared nanosuspension showed enhanced dissolution which may lead to enhanced solubility of mirtazapine.
Health-Related Quality of Life among a Sample of Chronic Hepatitis B Patients in AL-Najaf Province /Iraq.

Abstract The effect of physical and mental health on the feelings of personal welfare are known as health-related quality of life. Infection with hepatitis B virus is a major global health problem. Health-related quality of life was emerged as an important consideration in the care of patients with chronic hepatitis B infection. The aim of the current study was to measure health-related quality of life among a sample of chronic hepatitis B patients in AL-Najaf city/Iraq. The current study was cross-sectional study carried out on (104) already diagnosed chronic viral hepatitis B patients who attended the Gastroenterology and Hepatology Center/Al-Sader Medical City/Najaf during November 2018 to May 2019. In addition, 100 apparently healthy subjects were included as a control group. Health related quality of life was measured using the Arabic version of the Short Form 36. The health-related quality of life of patients with chronic hepatitis B infection was affected by the disease in a highly significant manner where the median scores for all health-related quality of life domains were significantly lower in patients than in controls. Physical functioning score was negatively correlated to age, significantly higher in male patients, significantly higher in high educated patients, significantly higher in single patients, and significantly higher in patients with no children. Role limitation due to physical health score was negatively correlated to age, significantly higher in those with no children. Energy/fatigue score was negatively correlated to age, and significantly higher in male patients. Social functioning score was significantly higher in male patients. Pain score was negatively correlated with age. Physical functioning score was negatively correlated to serum albumin. Social functioning and general health score were negatively correlated to viral load. In conclusion, chronic hepatitis B patients showed significantly lower health-related quality of life scores in various domains compared to healthy control subjects in AL-Najaf province /Iraq. Key words: Health-Related Quality of Life, Hepatitis B, Short Form 36, AL-Najaf, Iraq
The species identification problem in mirids (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) highlighted by DNA barcoding and species delimitation studies

Abstract Due to the difficulties associated with detecting and correctly identifying mirids, developing an accurate species identification approach is crucial, especially for potential harmful species. Accurate identification is often hampered by inadequate morphological key characters, invalid and/or outdated systematics, and biases in the molecular data available in public databases. This study aimed to verify whether molecular characterization (i.e. DNA barcoding) is able to identify mirid species of economic relevance and if species delimitation approaches are reliable tools for species discrimination. Cytochrome c oxydase 1 (cox1) data from public genetic databases were compared with new data obtained from mirids sampled in different Italian localities, including an old specimen from private collection, showing contrasting results. Based on the DNA barcoding approach, for the genus Orthops, all sequences were unambiguously assigned to the same species, while in Adelphocoris, Lygus and Trigonotylus there were over-descriptions and/or misidentifications of species. On the other hand, in Polymerus and Deraeocoris there was an underestimation of the taxonomic diversity. The present study highlighted an important methodological problem: DNA barcoding can be a good tool for pest identification and discrimination, but the taxonomic unreliability of public DNA databases can make this method useless or even misleading.
Engage, Ignore, Stand Up: Exploring How (and Why) Early Adolescents Respond to Sexual Harassment

Sexual harassment is a common experience among middle and high school students across the United States. Being the target of and even witnessing sexual harassment is associated with a number of negative consequences for adolescents. This study sought to explore early adolescent boys’ and girls’ reasoning about (a) perpetrating sexual harassment (i.e., making comments about another student’s body), (b) confronting sexual harassment when they are the target, and (c) confronting sexual harassment when they are the bystander or witness. Participants were 142 seventh-grade students (46 boys, 96 girls) ranging from 11 to 14 years old (Mage = 12.44 years, SDage = .61). Utilizing a quantitative content analysis, this study analyzed themes that emerged from adolescents’ open-ended responses to questions about sexual harassment and their perception of the consequences. The results suggest that adolescents’ reasoning about sexual harassment is complex, reflecting morality concerns, social pressures, and challenges with interpreting sexual interest within a context of sexually objectifying cultural scripts.
EVIDENCE-BASED USE OF SEA BUCKTHORN FRESH JUICE FOR PATIENTS WITH TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY. A PILOT STUDY

Sea buckthorn (Hippophaë rhamnoides L.) berries are widely used for their nutrional value and therapeutic effects. The aim of our paper was the evolution of phenolic content (by means of spectrophotometric methods), antioxidant capacity (scavenger activity towards DPPH, ABTS·+ free radicals and ferric reducing power) and evidence regarding sea buckthorn fresh juice association in the management of hospitalized patients with traumatic brain injury. According to our results, sea buckthorn fresh juice is a source of phenolic compounds (0.28 g total phenolic content expressed as tannic acid equivalents/100 mL fresh juice and 0.09 g flavones expressed as hyperoside equivalents/100 mL fresh juice), with antioxidant activity. Our clinical results have shown beneficial effects (a decrease in lactate and sodium blood levels and an increase in Glasgow coma score) of sea buckthorn fresh juice (given together with specific medication) in the management of patients with traumatic brain injury.
