Prevention of Male Breast Cancer

Introduction: Breast cancer is a disease that concernsboth women but and men. Today, we have fully understood the creation and the mechanism at the molecular level of breast cancer; we can improve the therapeutic interventions against the disease. Aim: The purpose of this retrospective study was to inv estigate the factors which increase the risk of breast cancer in men, and their prevention, as they recorded through the critical exploration of the literature. Methodology: The research method includes electronic databases (Medline, Cinahl, and IATROTEK) for a review of the literature from 1997-2012, a cl assic literature search in scientific literature ar ticles and studies from libraries also conducted. In total of 58 studies only 33 were selected. The criteria for selecting studies were the following: a) articles w ritten in Greek and English, and b) articles which referred to the type of cancer. Results: The key to a successful fight against breast cancer is the early detection and diagnosis of the disease in the context of prevention and effective response, fact which is highlighted in this retrospective study. Conclusions: Although early detection is not a cure, it increas es the chances for longevity of the patient. For this reason men should get the knowled ge which is the most important weapon for life.
YUAN, LI THE TYPES OF STUDENTS’ EMOTION EXPRESSIONS IN COLLABORATIVE LEARNING Master’s Thesis in Education FACULTY OF EDUCATION Master's Degree Programme in Learning, Education and Technology

Motivation and emotion are key components of collaborative learning. However, there is lack of empirical studies on socio-emotional aspects in collaborative learning. The aim of this study was to explore different types of emotion expressions in collaborative learning and the ways (verbal and nonverbal) students expressed their emotions. The participants of this study were 2 groups of first-year teacher education students from Oulu University in 2015.This study used video data which was collected from mathematic didactics course. The course took place in a classroom-like research space with 360 degree cameras and individual microphones for each participant. Altogether, there were 11 videos in total. The data was analyzed with Nvivo software to code 21 different types of emotions and verbal and nonverbal ways that students used to express their emotions. The results showed that the students expressed 21 different types of negative and positive emotions during their collaborative learning. The main types of emotion expressions in collaborative learning of this study were calmness, happiness, boredom, and tiredness. Furthermore, it was found that confusion was expressed more often with verbal expression while calmness was expressed more often with nonverbal expression. These findings implicate that future research can focus on how to help students to foster activated positive emotions to make collaborative learning more effective. Another interesting topic is to investigate the function of different types of emotions in collaborative learning. Besides, these findings have the potential to help teachers to design a better face-to-face collaborative learning course or computer supported collaborative learning course.
Using field data to inform and evaluate a new model of catchment hydrologic connectivity

We present a new hydrologic model based on the frequency distribution of hillslope landscape elements along the stream network as a basis for simulating landscape‐scale hydrologic connectivity and catchment runoff. Hydrologic connectivity describes shallow water table continuity between upland and stream elements of the catchment and is important for the movement of water and solutes to streams. This concept has gained traction in physical hydrology but has received less attention in rainfall‐runoff modeling. Our model is based on the empirical studies of Jencso et al. (2009, 2010), who found a strong correlation between the duration of shallow groundwater connectivity across hillslope, riparian, and stream zones and upslope accumulated area. We explored the relationship between catchment form and function by testing the extent to which streamflow generation could be predicted by a model based on the topographic form (distribution of landscape elements) of the catchment. We applied the model to the Stringer Creek catchment of the Tenderfoot Creek Experimental Forest, located in Montana, USA. Detailed field observations collected by Jencso et al. (2009) were used to inform the underpinnings of the model and to corroborate internal consistency of the model simulations. The model demonstrated good agreement between the observed and predicted streamflow and connectivity duration curves. The ability of this model to simulate internal dynamics without conditioning the parameters on these data suggests that it has the potential to be more confidently extrapolated to other shallow, topographically driven catchments than hydrologic models that fail to consistently reproduce internal variables.
THE MODEL OF TOURIST VIRTUAL COMMUNITY MEMBERS ENGAGEMENT MANAGEMENT

Bite force and sleep quality in patients with bruxism before and after using a mandibular advancement device Força de mordida e qualidade do sono em pacientes bruxômanos antes e após o uso de placa de avanço mandibular

Purpose: This study aimed to compare bite force and sleep quality in patients with bruxism before and after using a soft mandibular advancement device. Methods: Eighteen patients with bruxism attending the Occlusion Clinics of the PUCRS Dental School were selected according to the study eligibility criteria, examined according to the RDC/DTM protocol, and treated with a soft mandibular advancement device. Before the treatment and after 30 days the subjects were tested for: maximal bite force with a cross-arch force transducer placed in the first molar region, sleep quality assessed by means of the University of Toronto Sleep Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ), and number of masseter muscle contractions during sleep measured with the adhesive BiteStrip®. Data were analyzed by Student t tests, Wilcoxon tests, and McNemar tests at a significance level of 0.05. Results: After 30 days using the mandibular advancement device there was a significant decrease in some bruxism parameters, bite force, and total SAQ score (P<0.05). Conclusions: The results suggest that the use of a soft mandibular advancement device for one month reduced bite force and bruxism and improved sleep quality in this sample.

Interactive comment on “Developing an improved soil moisture dataset by blending passive and active microwave satellite-based retrievals” by Y. Y. Liu et al

A general comment on this paper concerns the lack of clarity of the objective of the paper. Is the purpose of the paper to present a new method to blend passive and active and model soil moisture products? Or is the objective to present the new blended product? Or does the paper aim at presenting both methods and results, as suggested by the structure of the paper in Data/methods/results? The content of the paper is clearly more focused on the presentation of the method. Most of the results shown should be actually part of the method section as detailed in the specific comments below. In contrast, some other crucial components of the method, such as the CDF matching approach, are not detailed enough. Concerning results, validation conducted for three sites is very interesting. However the representativeness of these results should be addressed in the paper. And the only global result shown is about temporal coverage. The authors should show more results of the product, or, since the method represents the most important part of the paper it should be acknowledged that the paper is a methodology paper.
The Mass of Asymptotically Hyperbolic Manifolds

Motivated by certain problems in general relativity and Riemannian geometry, we study manifolds which are asymptotic to the hyperbolic space in a certain sense. It is shown that an invariant, the so called total mass, can be defined unambiguously. A positive mass theorem is established by using the spinor method.
Evidence for directional testes asymmetry in Hyla gongshanensis jindongensis

The compensation hypothesis predicts that one testis may grow more for compensating for a reduced function in the other testis, thus exhibiting a directional asymmetry in testis size. In this study, we tested the prediction of the compensation hypothesis in the Chinese endemic Tree Frog Hyla gongshanensis jingdongensis in a population in Kegong Reserve site of Yunan Province in western China. For fifty-three male samplings, we found that the left testis size was significantly bigger than the right testis, which exhibited a significantly directional testis asymmetry, consistent with the evidence that mainly the left testis is functional with the right testis having a compensatory role, i.e. the left testis would increase in size if the right testis became non-functional. However, the relative testes size and the degree of testes asymmetry were not correlated with body condition in this species, suggesting that the testes asymmetry can not reflect male quality: high-quality individuals would not have more asymmetric testes.
Will the Train Ever Leave the Station? The Private Provision of Freight Railway Service in Russia and Central and Eastern Europe

The railways of Russia and the CEE countries--generally much more freight oriented, and much more important to their countries economies, than those of Western Europe--are in the process of restructuring. In most cases the vertical separation reform model is being pursued, and reformers are seeking to introduce competition among freight train operators through the provision of open access to the monopoly infrastructure. This paper examines the degree to which competition has in fact been introduced, the terms under which it is taking place, and the characteristics of those private firms which have had some success in entering. As always, Russia is different.
Intestinal mucinous adenocarcinoma with metastases to epididymis, testis and tunica albuginea in a dog

A case of intestinal mucinous adenocarcinoma with metastasis to gonadal tissue is reported. A 13-year-old, male, poodle dog presented with intestinal and peritoneal masses, as well as infiltrative masses in testicular tunics. Samples were biopsied and submitted for histopathological analysis. Microscopically, intestinal lesion consisted of an adenocarcinoma (mucinous type), with infiltration of muscular layers and mesenteric adipose tissue. In gonadal tissue, there was neoplastic infiltration of epididymis and tunica albuginea (with a predominantly tubular pattern), and testicular parenchyma (with a predominantly signet-ring cell pattern). Immunohistochemistry was positive for CDX2 and pancytokeratin, and negative for vimentin, supporting the diagnosis of intestinal mucinous adenocarcinoma with metastases to epididymis, testis and tunica
Comparative analysis of the impacts of marketing instruments on the organic market in Austria, the United Kingdom and Germany

Conclusions: This paper provides a comparative analysis of the impacts of the marketing instruments: The price-level can be identified as an important factor for further development. To promote sustained consumer demand, the premium price-level should be closer to the conventional price, although consumers are willing to pay some premium. Organic produce is associated with healthy food, which may appeal to consumers interested in healthy nutrition. Nevertheless, producers, processors and retailers of organic food should bear in mind general trends in food consumption and create organic food with lifestyle-oriented design. In future, supermarkets will become the main retail outlets for organic produce. In order to compete with larger, mainstream retailers, outlets like organic food shops or direct marketing channels should concentrate on offering special and added values e.g. by offering locally/regionally produced food or by creating an environment which provides the consumer with a unique shopping experience. Promotion activities are extremely important in influencing consumer behaviour, therefore all those involved should invest in further promotion activities. (ZENNER, S., FOSTER, C., PADEL, S. und B.

Effects of Aerobic Exercise Programme on Quality of life of Intellectually Disabled Individuals in Ibadan, Nigeria

The benefits of physical activities are universal for all including those with intellectual disability. Individuals with intellectual disability are mostly neglected and hardly exercised. Hence, the opportunities for improved health and wellness are limited. Paucity of data that could guide ameliorative measures also presents another challenge. Therefore, this study examined the effects of aerobic exercise programme on quality of life and physiological parameters of intellectually disabled individuals in Ibadan. Pretest-posttest, control group experimental design was adopted for the study. Participants were 65 individuals with intellectual disability drawn from four schools for the handicap in Ibadan, and were assigned into three experimental groups (Down syndrome, Autism and Cerebral palsy) and control group. The interval training programme was adopted for the study. This was administered three times a week for ten weeks. The instruments used were: comprehensive quality of life scale (importance, r = 0.74 and satisfaction, r = 0.73). Hypotheses tested at 0.05 level of significance. Data were analysed using Analysis of Covariance, Analysis of Variance. Aerobic exercise programme improves the productivity (F (2, 62) = 39.5; p < 0.05), intimacy (F (2, 62) = 329.9; p < 0.05), and emotion (F (2, 62) = 40.01; p < 0.05). Aerobic exercise programme was effective in improving the quality of life of intellectually disabled individuals. Therefore, aerobic exercise programme should be an integral part of the physical education curriculum for the intellectually disabled individuals. Key words: Intellectual disability, Aerobic exercise, quality of life.
High School Students’ Perceptions of Best Strategies for Developing English Language Proficiency: A Comparison of Sheltered English vs. English-Only Instructional Models

This study investigated English language learners’ perceptions of their experiences in sheltered English classrooms vs. mainstream English only classes in a southeastern high school in the United States. Participants were all Hispanics from six Spanish speaking countries from South America and the Caribbean. They arrived in the US after their parents had already established previous residence in the US for a number of years. Based on student demographic records, most participants were in their early teens and, by self identification, were qualified to enter or continue high school in the US. They seemed to have received little prior instruction in academic English in their native countries; however, they showed they were on grade level for academic skills in reading and writing in their first language. They tended to be marginally fluent in social English upon arrival to the US. This study gives voice to students’ perceptions of the effectiveness of educational approaches for developing English language proficiency. Quantitative results revealed that the students preferred a sheltered English teaching approach over mainstream classrooms, as the students perceived sheltered instruction (with scaffolding as instructional support) as a means to develop the English language skills needed to succeed in college. Additionally, when interviewed, students stated that the sheltered English program helped ease their transition into the U.S. high school academics. They claimed that the sheltered classes provided a supportive environment and affirmatively recognized the student’s native language and cultural heritage.
Domestic wastewater treatment with a vertical completely drained pilot scale constructed wetland planted with Amaranthus hybridus

A pilot scale constructed wetland planted with Amaranthus hybridus was developed for domestic wastewater treatment. The reactor system was composed of rectangular beds realized in cement. Each bed was filled from the bottom to the top with 0.1 m of gravel (15/25 mm) and 0.30 m of a white sand originating from the Ebrie lagoon. Two beds planted with yang A. hybridus plants (high density: 40 plants/m≤; low density: 10 plants/m≤) and one control (unplanted bed) were used to perform the experiment. The pH of the overall filtrates decreased from 7 to around 8. Planted beds gave best COD removal (high density = 70%, low density = 66%) than the control (60%). Globally nutrients were best removed in the planted beds (NH4 + : 69%, PO4 3: 67%) than in the control (NH4
DIFFRACTION LOADS ON MULTIPLE VERTICAL CIRCULAR CYLINDERS BY LEAST-SQUARES TREFFTZ-TYPE FINITE ELEMENTS

The paper deals with the application of the so-called "frameless" Trefftz-type finite elements to the calculation of wave induced loads on the offshore, seabed, cylindrical structures. The method is based on the use of a suitably truncated $ T$-complete set of Trefftz functions over individual subdomains linked by means of a least square procedure. The Neumann homogeneous boundary conditions and the Sommerfeld radiation condition are readily incorporated in the trial functions of special purpose finite elements.
Perceptual Analysis of Fast and Irregular Transformations in Historical Urban Landscape (Case Study: Historical-Religious City of Ray and Shemiran District-Tehran)

In the recent century,Tehran has been confronted with urban sprawl and rapid population growth that have caused urban landscape transformation, whichis different in various parts of Tehran based on specific economic, cultural and social situations. What is important in this essay is the human perception of their landscape in this process of transformation; therefore, the purpose is analyzing landscape perception in order to answer the following questions:“What are the effective landscape elements on perception in this changing landscape? ”To answer the question, two historicalparts of Tehran, Tajrish and Ray, were examinedthrough an interview. In order to analyze landscape perception in these two case studies,6 main factors includingconstructed landscape elements, rootedness, attachment to place, social relations, adaptability of use and landscape satisfaction were selected and evaluated by a questionnaire. Resultsin Tajrish have shown that elements of the past,even though destroyed or hidden, form people's perception.However, in Ray elements from recent constructions have mostly affected people's perception. Consequently, discoveringtheeffective elements, which are directly influenced by the context, is a significant factor to know how people perceive their landscape. With the consideration aboutpeople's perception in each specific context, landscape designers would be able to design valuable landscapes and enhance the quality of urban places.
OVERINVESTMENT, GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES AND FIRM PERFORMANCE: EVIDENCE FROM SINGAPORE STOCK MARKET

This paper aims to study the extent of overinvestment, underinvestment problem and measure its impact on corporate performance. Our sample consists of 7 years data (2005 to 2011) of 360 nonfinancial companies listed in the Singapore Stock Market. After panel data models appropriation tests (LM test, Hausman test, No Fixed effect test) we employed fixed effect regression methodology in our analysis. Our results show that 52% firms in our sample are engaged in proper investment projects, 29% firms are overinvesting, while 19% firms are underinvesting. Maximum overinvestment is taking place in Basic Material sector while maximum underinvestment happening in Healthcare sector. Further tests show that both overinvestment and underinvestment shows severe negative impact on firm performance. However, proper investment has positive impact on firm performance in Singapore Stock Market. The results highlight the extent of agency problem in Singapore Stock Market. Moreover, it depicts the importance of investment activities of Singaporean companies for the international investors and portfolio managers.
A NOTE ON DOUBLE RECORDS

In an infinite sequence of independent Bernoulli trials successes correspond to records. The probability of a record in trial k is pk. We call two consecutive records a double record and study the number of double records up to trial n. For the special case pk = µ=(µ + k i 1) connected with random permutations, explicit distributional results are obtained; in particular the total number of double records in an infinite sequence is Poisson with mean µ.
The connection between absorptive capacity and open innovation in managerial perspective

The growing number of research dedicated to open innovation has determined a growth of company’s interest towards external sources of knowledge and of the interactions with these resources in order to obtain an added value. Absorptive capacity, together with the outside-in dimension of open innovation represent interconnected concepts. The present study examines their connection both in theory and in their representation in SMEs managers’ perception. The study that forms the base of the research is a survey conducted on companies’ managers who worked on open innovation projects. Although few studies dealing with the subject existed up until now, the vision of the managers was chosen to be examined due to the impact of a managerial decision over a company’s ability to learn from an exterior environment. In the future, open innovation is thought to be integrated in the management of innovation, this being the reason we view it as of utmost importance for the deepening of the managerial perspective regarding its influences and component elements.
