Choroba refluksowa przełyku (GERD) — problem wciąż aktualny

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is frequently met disease in current gastroenterology. In highly developed countries GERD is present in about 20–40% of its adults’ population. Frequency of GERD’s occurrence shows how important social problem it is nowadays, mainly because of its long-term presence, tendency of reoccurrence and various complications. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease decreases a quality of patients’ life, causing at the same time worse functioning in their professional, family and social spheres of life. In this paperwork new ideas on etiopathogenesis, diagnosis and treatmet of GERD have been presented.
Unneighbourliness and the Unmaking of Home

ABSTRACT Dwellings become home through the social, emotional and psychological meanings that dwellers attach to them. These meanings often revolve around home as a haven, a site of autonomy and a vehicle for the expression of social status. Yet, homes can also be unmade, not only through external acts of ‘domicide’, but also through networks of local social relations in which homes are embedded, such as those with neighbours. This paper explores the role of “unneighbourliness” in home unmaking as recounted by clients of neighbourhood mediation services in Queensland, Australia. It shows that disputes with neighbours can undermine one’s sense of home as haven, autonomy and status. But it also reveals how home (un)making occurs as a dialectic in the context of physical proximity and shared boundaries between residential dwellings where the homemaking practices of one neighbour spill over into, and impede, the sense of home of another.
Miniaturized Ring Resonator Wideband Bandpass Filter with Wide Stop
 Band

In this paper miniaturized quarter wavelength rectangular shaped multimode ring resonator bandpass filter with extended diagonal corners and internally located high impedance perturbation stubs, is proposed. Input/output open stubs are tightly coupled to the extended diagonal corners running parallel to the two sides of the ring resonator, implemented to generate wide passband and wide stop-band. Cut-off frequencies can be shifted to the higher side by increasing the length of the sides of resonator. By inserting the perturbation stubs, rectangular ring resonator produces three degenerate modes out of which first two form a wide passband. Small square patch is attached to the opposite interior corners of the ring resonator and T-shaped stub attached to the opposite longer side of the resonator are tightly coupled with feeder line to improve the return loss, insertion loss and skirt-characteristics. Shorter sides of the rectangular ring resonator are bent in U-shaped to increase the effective length of the resonator eventually the bandwidth is widened. Filter is designed and simulated for the center frequency of 3.2 GHz, bandwidth from 2.0 GHz to 4.0 GHz, on dielectric constant 3.38 and thickness 0.508 mm. Electromagnetic simulator Ansoft HFSS is used to optimize the filter dimensions.
Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome: decisions concerning infant safety

ABSTRACT Neonatal abstinence Syndrome (NAS) is a postnatal withdrawal condition in infants exposed to opioids in-utero. Infants with NAS are frequently reported to child welfare, although not all parents lack parental capacity. The purpose of the research was to explore decision-making among community service providers concerning safety of infants with NAS and reports to child welfare. Interviews with 21 individual providers in Ontario, Canada revealed four themes including, 1) Assessment of Cumulative Risk, 2) Proceeding with Caution 3) Therapeutic Relationship 4) Voluntary Engagement with Child Welfare. Findings support the complexity of decision-making regarding safety of infants with NAS and the impact of reporting decisions on the therapeutic relationship.
CERA (Continuous Erythropoietin Receptor Activator): Dose-Response Trial of Subcutaneous (SC) Administration Once Every 3 Weeks (Q3W) to Patients with Aggressive Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and Anemia Receiving Chemotherapy.

CERA is an erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) acting differently at the receptor level with a prolonged half-life. In this ongoing, multicenter, randomized, open-label, Phase II dose-response study, CERA was administered subcutaneously in a Q3W schedule to 93 transfusion-independent patients with aggressive (intermediate or high grade) B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) and anemia receiving combination chemotherapy. Eligible patients met the following inclusion criteria: age ≥18 years, hemoglobin (Hb) 6 months, and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status grade 0–2. Major exclusion criteria included transferrin saturation <20% and platelet count <50 x 109/L. No patient had received an ESA in the 8 weeks prior to the first dose of CERA. Patients were randomized to receive CERA 2.1 μg/kg (n=31), 4.2 μg/kg (n=30), or 6.3 μg/kg (n=32) administered once every 3 weeks for 12 weeks. The primary efficacy variable was time-adjusted average change in Hb from baseline during 12 weeks, until end of initial treatment (last observed value before dose change or transfusion). Enrollment has been completed; the treatment phase of the trial is nearing conclusion. Demographics show similar baseline characteristics in all three patient subgroups [mean age: 62.9 years (2.1 μg/kg); 59.1 years (4.2 μg/kg); 64.3 years (6.3 μg/kg)]. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma was the most common lymphoma in all three subgroups (87%, 70%, and 84% of patients in the 2.1, 4.2, and 6.3 μg/kg subgroups, respectively). To date, the majority of patients receive an anthracycline-containing chemotherapy regimen, either standard CHOP or CHOP plus rituximab. Preliminary efficacy and safety results will be presented. Ongoing assessments have indicated a safety profile consistent with that seen in patients with aggressive NHL and anemia receiving chemotherapy. This Phase II trial will help further characterize the ability of CERA to safely correct anemia when administered at an extended dosing interval (Q3W) to patients with aggressive NHL receiving chemotherapy.
Evolving human capital of entrepreneurs in an equity crowdfunding era

ABSTRACT With the emergence of equity crowdfunding, understanding the human capital characteristics needed for running new ventures and the signals they send to prospective investors is of central importance. In focusing on this gap, our results reveal the importance and detrimental impact of specific human capital characteristics on funding (from startup experience for previous ventures and management experience with small organizations to startup experience with ongoing ventures). Further, these relationships differ by entrepreneurial team type (lone versus teams of two-plus). Interestingly, management experience with large organizations does not impact funding. This study highlights the importance of probing more deeply into human capital for understanding equity crowdfunding success.
Comparing the Effect of Sodium-Based and Calcium-Based Crosslinkers on the Swelling, Mechanical and Rheological Properties of Chitosan/Gelatin/Starch Films

Abstract In this research chitosan/gelatin/starch films with a 47.5/47.5/5.0 (vol.%) composition were prepared by a solution casting method. To improve the mechanical and rheological properties of the chitosan-based films, two types of chemical crosslinkers, sodium triphosphate (STP) and calcium triphosphate (CTP), were used and the effects of these crosslinkers on the mechanical properties, swelling, water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) and the rheological-mechanical spectroscopy (RMS) of the films were investigated. For each crosslinker, two concentrations (0.05 and 0.1 wt% solutions) were used. The tensile test results showed that the samples with 0.05 wt% of STP or 0.1 wt% of CTP, had the best performance in enhancing the tensile strength and modulus of the films. The swelling tests indicated that 0.05 wt% of STP had the lowest swelling, and the performance with 0.1 wt% of CTP was also good. The results of the WVTR tests revealed that 0.05 wt% of STP and 0.1 wt% of CTP had the least and the most WVTR, respectively. Also, antibacterial tests were evaluated for the films based on an inhibition zone technique, and the results showed that the films containing the STP crosslinker has the best antibacterial activity. The RMS results indicated that the rheological properties of the films were enhanced by incorporating the crosslinkers, especially 0.1% concentration of CTP, into the film formulations.
Survey of convolutional neural networks for image captioning

Abstract Image captioning refers to a machine generatating human-like captions describing the image. With the recent surge of interest in the field, deep learning models have been proved to give state-of-the-art. Unlike most of the models using CNN for image embedding and RNN for language modeling and prediction, there is a small section of models using CNN for language modeling and prediction as well. This paper provides a survey of such models and the advantage that make this section worth exploring.
An investigation into the spatial epidemiology of suicide in England and Wales.

Background: The incidence of suicide exhibits marked geographical variability. Explanations for the observed patterns are not well understood. Previous areabased studies of suicide in Britain have focused on relatively large areas and/or have not investigated whether associations varied between different age groups. Aims: Two interrelated aspects of the geography of suicide were investigated: (a) the magnitude and spatial patterning of its geographical variation and (b) the extent to which socio-economic characteristics of areas explain the observed patterns. Analyses were based on parliamentary constituencies (N=569) and electoral wards (N=9265) in England and Wales, 1988-1994. Methods: Random effects regression models (negative Binomial models in Stata and Bayesian hierarchical models in winBUGS) were used to derive and map ageand sex-specific "smoothed" area estimates of rate ratios by incorporating evidence of heterogeneity and spatial autocorrelation into their estimation. Associations between levels of suicide and a range of 1991 census-derived socioeconomic characteristics of the areas were investigated. Furthermore, the patterning of any unexplained variation was assessed in a series of maps of residual rate ratios after controlling for the effect of area characteristics. Results: There was strong evidence of heterogeneity and spatial patterning at both levels of geographic aggregation. Although the geography of suicide differed across age/sex groups, two main common patterns emerged: clusters of high rates in (a) remote and coastal parts of the country and (b) central parts of cities (with low rates in their periphery). Possible indicators of levels of social fragmentation in an area, such as single-person households and unmarried population, were most consistently associated with suicide in all age/sex groups. These associations appeared independent of levels of socio-economic deprivation and stronger in the younger age-groups. While area characteristics accounted for 50%-75% of the observed geographic variation, up to 2-fold differences in rates remained unexplained. Residual variability also clustered spatially. Conclusions: Suicide is an important contributor to area health inequalities this thesis described its geography and identified a number of area characteristics associated with area differences. Spatial patterning in unexplained variability may be a product of additional local risk factors not accounted for in the models. Further research should seek to identify such factors as well as clarify the extent to which the observed area differences reflect the high-risk demographic composition of such areas or true area influences on the mental health and suicide risk of their populations.

The topics covered include common entrapment neuropathies (carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radial neuropathy, peroneal neuropathy) and other conditions in which sonography can play a role in diagnosis, such as CIPD, motor neuropathy with multiple conduction blocks, leprosy, and brachial plexus disorders.
The Development of Medical Standards for the Assessment of Back Disability in a Nursing Population

The purpose of this study was to develop a. job-specific abilities analysis for nurses, and to compile medical standards for disability assessment based upon abilities analysis, appropriate for The University of Tennessee Medical Center at Knoxville. The primary area of interest for this research was back disability. A group of 226 staff nurses at the Medical Center completed a survey of six physical ability scales developed to assess the greatest amount of physical stress experienced by them in their daily duties. In addition, a group of 24 physicians and physical therapists completed a survey designed to rate the maximum allowable physical stress for each of the same six physical ability scales. A statistical analysis of the findings of this investigation led to the following conclusions: 1. A task-oriented abilities analysis profile of the physical stress experienced by nurses in six physical ability areas was produced for The University of Tennessee Medical Center. 2. An abilities-specific, medical standards profile for back problems, covering six physical ability areas, was produced for this institution. 3. Supervisory personnel are able to assess the
What glycemic control target best balances risks and benefits in the geriatric diabetic population?

In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, targeting an A1c of ,6 compared with 7 to 7.9% increases allcause mortality (SOR: B, single randomized controlled trial). Increased mortality is observed in patients with an A1c below 6% and above 11% compared with an A1c between 6% and 11%, and an increased risk of nonfatal complications with an A1c over 8% (SOR: B, retrospective cohort study). A decrease in hospitalization for hyperglycemia in the geriatric population is associated with increased rates of hospitalizations for hypoglycemia (SOR: B, retrospective study). The ADA recommends an A1c goal of ,7.5% in healthy older adults and a goal of 8.0% to 8.5% in older adults with multiple comorbid conditions (SOR: C, consensus guideline).

Identification of QTLs for high grain yield and component traits in new plant types of rice

A panel of 60 genotypes consisting of New Plant Types (NPTs) along with indica, tropical and temperate japonica genotypes were phenotypically evaluated for four seasons in irrigated situation for grain yield per se and component traits. Twenty NPT genotypes were found to be promising with an average grain yield of 5.45 to 8.8 t/ha. A total of 85 SSR markers were used in the study to identify QTLs associated with grain yield per se and related traits. Sixty-six (77.65%) markers were found to be polymorphic. The PIC values varied from 0.516 to 0.92 with an average of 0.704. A moderate level of genetic diversity (0.39) was detected among genotypes. Variation to the tune of 8% within genotypes, 68% among the genotypes within the population and 24% among the populations were observed (AMOVA). The association analysis using GLM and MLM models led to the identification of 30 and 10 SSR markers were associated with 70 and 16 QTLs, respectively. Thirty novel QTLs linked with 16 SSRs were identified to be associated with eleven traits, namely, tiller number (qTL-6.1, qTL-11.1, qTL-4.1), panicle length (qPL-1.1, qPL-5.1, qPL-7.1, qPL-8.1), flag leaf length (qFLL-8.1, qFLL-9.1), flag leaf width (qFLW-6.2, qFLW-5.1, qFLW-8.1, qFLW-7.1), total no. of grains (qTG-2.2, qTG-a7.1), thousand-grain weight (qTGW-a1.1, qTGW-a9.2, qTGW-5.1, qTGW-8.1), fertile grains (qFG-7.1), seed length-breadth ratio (qSlb-3.1), plant height (qPHT-6.1, qPHT-9.1), days to 50% flowering (qFD-1.1) and grain yield per se (qYLD-5.1, qYLD-6.1a, qYLD-11.1). This information could be useful for identification of highly potential parents for development of transgressive segregants. Moreover, super rice genotypes could be developed through pyramiding of these QTLS for important yield traits for prospective increment in yield potentiality and breaking yield ceiling.
Effectiveness on Drop Trailer Method (DTM) of Haulage Industry in Malaysia

This paper focuses on the customersâ€™ commitment and behaviour towards an effective of â€˜drop trailer methodâ€™ (DTM) in haulage industry. There was limited study in customersâ€™ commitment and behaviour on the efficiency of DTM. The study on DTM was due to the increasing volumes of international trade using haulage transport and trailers which led to rapid growth of container volumes at Malaysian ports. The maximum usage of trailers are needed to cater the growth of containersâ€™ movements at present. The detention trailers by the customers during loading and unloading processes caused inefficiency in haulage performance. Therefore, monitoring on the usage of trailers will increase to the overall movements and reduction in the detention times. Exploratory and qualitative studies are also used in this research. The results indicated that the effectiveness of DTM is a crucial part to benchmark on the overall businesses, particularly in effective ways coordinating and utilising to the overall trailers. It is used to indicate haulage operatorsâ€™ achievement towards their objectives. The better control in DTM may be used for better planning in the movements in future. The study suggests on the effective DTM structure for better impact in monitoring haulage business towards costs, revenues and profits.
Design decision based on dependencies among product specifications

Changes in product specifications and their combinations can be achieved through adaptations of physical components. To better satisfy the changeable product specifications, design decisions on physical components need to be made by considering the dependencies among product specifications. In this paper, a method for dependencies quantification among product specifications is defined from the statistical point of view. Since product specifications are achieved by physical components, then the statistical dependencies among product physical components are analyzed based on specifications/components relationships. A method for design decision support based on components clustering is proposed for new product development. An example is provided to illustrate the proposed methodology.
Semiotic Analysis of Gundala Movie Poster

—The purpose of this research is to analyze the visual meaning of the Gundala poster in 2019. The method used in this study was the semiotic method; Ferdinand de Saussure developed the semiotic approach. Gundala was an Indonesian superhero created by Hasmi, and in 2019, the superhero figure made by the Movie directed by Joko Anwar. From the movie, the poster made. From the visual of this poster, Gundala was in the middle, and then behind him was the building, and above the building, many people were looking at Gundala with lightning and rain, making a visible gripping. The poster seems dark with rain and lightning, which adds the tense feeling of the poster. Gundala ’s Visualization in the middle makes a dashing impression on the Superhero; then with the background of an old building, it can be seen that the dark visuals built from this poster are augmented by the number of people looking at the figure of Gundala adds a tense feeling to this poster. Rain and lightning added because this Gundala gets strength from the lightning. The purpose of this research is to provide a visual understanding of the audience so that the audience can understand the meaning of the poster.
Effect of Training on the Performance of University Administrative staff in Nigeria

Several studies have been carried on the effect of training on employees’ performance in firms. However, the effect of training on the performance of universities’ administrative staff in Nigeria has not been adequately assessed. This paper identified the training types mostly used by the Administrative staff of The Federal University of Technology Akure (FUTA), Ondo State, Nigeria, examined the factors affecting effective training and assessed the effect of training on the performance of the staff. The paper sought answers to research questions by employing survey design and purposive sampling technique to collect data from 68 respondents with the help of a 17-item structured questionnaire. The respondents consisted of the administrative staff of FUTA. Data for this study were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as percentage, mean score, standard deviation, mean ranking, and chi-square was used to test the hypothesis posed for the research at 5% significant level. Reliability test was carried out with Cronbach Alpha, while the validation of the research instrument was carried out by a senior lecturer in the Department of Business Administration, FUTA. The study revealed that training (On the Job and Off the Job) had a significant effect on the respondents’ performance; however, management did not release enough funds towards adequate training of the administrative staff. The paper, therefore, recommended more investment in training the staff in current skills and methods in order to cope with frequent changes in this contemporary world.

Update on medical Treatment of peptic ulcer

For most patients peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is a chronic relapsing disorder, especially in the first years of initial disease. Over the past 20 years, great progress has occurred in our understanding and management of this disease. The introduction of effective and safe drugs, which started with H 2 -receptor antagonists, followed by the cytoprotective agents and the more potent anti-secretory drugs (proton pump inhibitors), as well as the wider use of fiberoptic endoscopy, and the identification of Helicobacter pylori as a potential pathogenic factor of PUD, have contributed markedly in achieving more efficacious treatment of acute peptide ulcers. Also, the long-term medical management has resulted in a significant reduction of ulcer recurrence and possibly of ulcer complications.
