Identifying modular candidates in engineer-to-order companies

The purpose of this paper is to address a gap of missing modularization methods for engineer-to-order (ETO) companies. The research project was initiated by clarifying the challenges facing ETO companies, based on these challenges synthesis of existing methods was done to conceptualize a method. This article presents the modular candidate identification (MCI) method aimed at identifying modular candidates in ETO companies. The method analyzes five dimensions, namely, market segments, customer requirements, product architectures, cost and lead time to find modular candidates. The method was applied in a Danish ETO company and shown to be successful in identifying two modular candidates. Both were recognized by management and redesigned in modular product development projects.

Gastric Carcinoma and its Common Imaging Mimickers

Introduction: Stomach may be affected by number of malignant pathologies like carcinoma, lymphoma, gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) and metastasis. With non-specific clinical presentation and prognosis depending on histological diagnosis and stage at diagnosis necessitates the need for early imaging diagnosis Aim: To evaluate the imaging appearance in malignant gastric lesions and deduce narrowest differential diagnosis. Imaging Findings: Of the various imaging modalities available Barium studies allows good mucosal details, however it provides no extragastric assessment which is necessary for disease staging. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is the most commonly used technique for disease assessment allows disease diagnosis, staging and differentiation between various pathologies. Gastric adenocarcinoma and lymphoma account for majority of malignant lesions. Gastric carcinoma may presents as either polypoidal, ulcerative or as diffusely infiltrating lesion mimicking lymphoma, GIST and metastasis. Gastric lymphomatous involvement is usually secondary present as bulky non-obstructing gastric thickening with lymphadenopathy extending below renal hila. GIST is the most common mesenchymal tumor may present as submucosal, intramural or extraluminal mass. Imaging features are exophytic mass with variable enhancement, may show cystic change, hemorrhage or fistulous communication with gut. Metastasis to stomach may be either by direct extension or hematogenous dissemination. Conclusions: Similar pattern of gastric involvement in seen multitude of malignant etiologies, hence careful evaluation of gastric and ancillary findings is necessary to reach definitive diagnosis.
Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy as a Late Complication of COVID-19-Induced Myocarditis

COVID-19 has become a global health problem. So far, more than 281 million COVID-19 cases have been confirmed. The vast majority of patients diagnosed with COVID-19 infection present only with respiratory signs and symptoms. A small amount of patients, however, show signs and symptoms of cardiovascular involvement like a myocardial injury. Myocarditis is one of the possible complications, and cases of clinically suspected myocarditis have been reported in the setting of COVID-19. Herein, we present a case of inflammatory cardiomyopathy, a different type of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, in a 32-year-old man, 40 days after being diagnosed with COVID-19.

Endothelial dysfunction assessed by brachial artery flow-mediated dilatation predicts severe COVID-19-related disease

Background: Endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, and hypercoagulability are hallmarks of severe COVID-19 related disease. Endothelial function can be measured non-invasively by flow-mediated dilatation in the brachial artery. We planned a study to measure it as a marker of the severity of COVID-19 disease. Objective: To evaluate the association of clinically recognizable endothelial dysfunction in COVID-19 disease and its usefulness as a marker of severe COVID-19-related disease. Methods: 20 COVID-19 patients being admitted to our unit were analyzed for endothelial dysfunction and correlated with disease severity as per computed tomography (CT) chest score. Patients with diabetes, atherosclerotic coronary artery disease, dyslipidemia, chronic renal disease, and infections other than COVID-19 were excluded. Endothelial dysfunction was measured by flow-mediated dilatation in the brachial artery. Results: The mean age was 46.4 ± 16.5 years; 70% were males. The mean CT severity score was 22 ± 8; 60% required supplemental oxygen and steroids. The incidence of endothelial dysfunction was more in patients with a computed tomography severity score of >19.5 or oxygen saturation of <93% at room air as compared to mild cases (P = 0.003). Endothelial dysfunction was more evident >7 days after onset of disease as compared to early (<7 days) disease (P = 0.016). There was negative correlation between % flow-mediated dilatation in brachial artery and severity of lung involvement and prolonged symptomatic phase. Conclusions: Endothelial dysfunction as measured by impaired brachial artery flow mediated dilatation correlates with disease severity.
Localisation of calmodulin and calmodulin-binding proteins in the plasma membrane of pisum sativum L.

The plasma membrane from pea buds contains a Ca2+_ dependent protein kinase activity. This study was undertaken to investigate the nature of this Ca2+. dependence by attempting to identify and characterise endogenous proteins, and their interaction with membrane proteins. The presence of a single Ca2+_binding protein in the plasma membrane was indicated using a 45Ca2+ overlay procedure. Due to its mobility on SDS-PAGE, with a characteristic Ca2+_dependent mobility shift, and specific interaction with antibodies elicited towards spinach calmodulin, it is suggested that this protein is calmodulin. Isolation of the plasma membrane in the presence of 10mM EGTA to chelate free Ca2 failed to substantially reduce the amount of this 2+_jfljflg protein within the membrane. By radioimmunoaSSaY and phosphodiesterase assay the EGTA-stable calmodulin-like protein constituted 0.5-1% of total plasma membrane protein. Spinach calmodulin antibodies were able to bind to intact membrane vesicles suggesting that some domain(s) projected from the membrane surface. The plasma membrane also possesses Ca2+_dependent calmodulin-binding sites as displayed both by vesicle binding of 1251-calmodulin, and by probing plasma membrane proteins using a 1251-calmodulin gel overlay technique. Less purified membrane preparations display less Ca2 -dependence of binding and it is suggested that this could be a consequence of interaction with basic proteins. The calmodulin-binding sites of the plasma membrane appeared not to be artefacts of membrane solubilisatiOn but were exposed to the aqueous phase as indicated by 125I-azidocalinodUlifl photoaffinitY labelling. Ca2+_dependent membrane phosphorylatiOfl was demonstrated for both 'total' and plasma membrane fractions. Pea bud plasma membrane-located Ca2+_ dependent protein kinase activity was not affected by the addition of exogenous calmodulin, calmodulin inhibitors, or spinach calmodulin antibodies. A protein kinase activity was isolated from a total membrane fraction by ATP-agarose affinity chromatography. Two major silver stained polypeptides of 17 and 63kDa were isolated in this manner. In addition a 63kDa protein isolated from acetone-solubilised plasma membrane bound to a calmodulin-SePharose affinity column. It is possible that these two proteins are one and the same and represents a protein associated with the membranebound protein kinase and is responsible for its Ca2F_
Lung epithelial cell-derived C3 protects against pneumonia-induced lung injury

The complement component C3 is a fundamental plasma protein for host defense. However, recent work has demonstrated the critical importance of local C3 expression in cell survival. Here we analyzed the effects of local versus peripheral sources of C3 expression in a model of bacterial pneumonia. While mice with global C3 deficiency had severe pneumonia-induced lung injury, those deficient in liver-deficient C3 remain protected, comparable to wildtype mice. Human lung transcriptome analysis showed secretory epithelial cells are a major source of C3. Mice with a C3 gene ablation from lung epithelial cells had worse pulmonary injury compared to wild type, despite maintaining normal circulating C3 levels. Finally, in human cellular and mouse pneumonia models, we show that C3 reduces epithelial cell death mediated through the alternative pathway component Factor B. Thus, our findings suggest that a locally-derived C3-Factor B pathway protects the lung mucosal barrier. One Sentence Summary Lung-derived C3 mitigates severe bacterial pneumonia suggesting a novel cytoprotective role at mucosal barrier surfaces independent of circulating C3.
Donation Levels in Cause-Related Marketing (CRM): The Impact of Donation levels, Consumer Support and Self-Expressive Cues on Perceived Benefits and Perceived Monetary Sacrifice

In this study, we examine the extent to which donation level is perceived as a concept of bene ﬁ t and monetary sacri ﬁ ce to consumers, as well as that the extent to which it is moderated by consumer support for cause domains. In addition, we investigate the in ﬂ uence of self-expressive cues as a means of increasing consumers ’ intention of participating in cause-related marketing (CRM) by lowering perceived monetary sacri ﬁ ce. As a result of Study 1, consumers with high-level cause support perceived the donation level as a bene ﬁ t, resulting in a positive effect on their intentions to participate in CRM. Conversely, consumers with low-level support perceived the donation level as monetary sacri ﬁ ce. Thus, donation level had a negative effect on their participation intentions. Study 2 showed that self-expressive cues dilute the interaction effect of donation levels and consumer support. We conclude by discussing the academic and practical implications of this study.
Relevance Theory and Theological Interpretation: Thoughts on Metarepresentation

Theological interpretation endeavors to account for the way interpretation of the biblical text interacts with Christian theology. This approach to biblical interpretation views theology not as an obstacle to understanding but rather as a "clarifying agent" (Reno¹). It embraces theological traditions of the church and faith commitments in concert with exegetical practices. This article explores theological interpretation from the perspective of relevance theory, with special attention to the notion of metarepresentation, the "ability to represent not just states of the external physical world but also other representations, and representations of still further representations, etc., up to several orders of complexity" (Carston²). In any communication, metarepresentation allows us to reflect on mental states and attribute beliefs. Indeed, holding beliefs becomes essential to comprehension within communication. This article argues that theological interpretation is an approach to biblical interpretation that is consonant with the general cognitive architecture of the human mind.
Weight optimization of cylindrical shells with cellular cores

Thin-walled cylindrical shells are commonly used in engineering fields; examples include civil engineering structures, offshore oil platforms, submarine pipes, and aircraft fuselages. Due to the problem with local buckling, these shells have failure loads significantly lower than the ones predicted by linear theory. Currently, stringers and ring-stiffeners are used to strengthen the shells against local buckling. Recent studies by Karam and Gibson (1995) showed that the shells can also be effectively strengthened using a compliant, elastic core that is made of cellular structures such as foam or honeycomb. In this thesis, we have used Karam and Gibson's results to perform minimum weight design of isotropic, elastic, cylindrical shells filled with isotropic, elastic cores under combined axial compression and bending. We have also generated graphs for identification of radius to wall thickness ratio, a/t, and density of the core to density of the solid the core is made of ratio, p/p,,, which minimize the weight of the cylinder for a given critical load.

The Decomposition Structures in Two Seasonal Adjustment Programs X-12-ARIMA and TRAMO-SEATS - With Some Empirical Tests to Compare Both Programs -(in Japanese)

Two Widely-used seasonal adjustment programs are U.S.Census Bureau's X-12-ARIMA and TRAMO-SEATS written b V.Gomez and A.Maravall. The program TRAMO-SEATS, in particular, has beenattracting a considerable attention of researchers concerned with seasonal adjustment in Europe. X-12-ARIMA and TRAMO-SEATS are based on different methods for seasonal adjustment. X-11 which is the decomposition part in X-12-ARIMA is a method that uses an existing set of moving average filters. SEATS which is the decomposition part in TRAMO-SEATS is a method that uses ARIMA-model-based signal extraction with filters derived from an ARIMA-type time series model that describes the behavior of the series. But, RegARIMA in X-12-ARIMA and TRAMO in TRAMO-SEATS are very similar in that both programs are used for estimating regression models for time series, for outlier detection are correction, and for testing and correcting calendar effects, and so on. So, in this paper, we will focus on the decomposition structure in two programs X-12-ARIMA and TARAMO-SEATS, namely X-11 and SEATS. And, we will present some features of X-11 and SEATS. In addition , we will also carry out some empirical tests for the comparison of seasonal adjustment outcomes from X-12-ARIMA and TRAMO-SEATS.
Quantifying the effects of experience on motor behaviors during simulated occupational tasks

Individual differences in work methods may be related to the risk of injury during manual material handling tasks, yet existing evidence comparing experienced workers and novices is mixed. This study assessed torso kinematics and kinetics among six experienced workers and six novices during repetitive lifts/lowers under different task configurations (symmetric vs. asymmetric and lift vs. lower). Several important potential confounding effects were controlled. Peak kinematic and kinetic measures were typically higher among experienced workers and suggestive of exposure to higher levels of lowback injury risk, though overall exposure levels were moderate. Work methods used by experienced workers were modified between task conditions, whereas novice behaviors were more consistent. Control of torso kinematics/kinetics may thus not be a primary factor in determining experienced worker's work methods, and future investigation is needed to establish if, or under what conditions, these methods are protective and/or should be the basis for interventions including training.
