Uneasiness Body Image and Psychological Distress in Women with Breast Cancer in Chemotherapy Treatment

Breast cancer treatment alters body image and causes psychosocial repercussions, with a changing in self-perception. The objectives of this research were to assess distress level and body image uneasiness, in patients with breast cancer, undergoing chemotherapy treatment. Furthermore, differences between these variables in young and adult women were evaluated. In this retrospective study, we enrolled 100 women patients (aged 25 to 75), with breast cancer diagnosis, who have performed surgery and undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy. The search tools used were: Distress Thermometer (DT), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Body Uneasiness Test (BUT). The data were obtained through descriptive and correlational analysis using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) software. A level of Distress above cut-off value was found (6.46). Within body image dimensions, the highest average score was found for concerns for body image (16.44). Also, high scores were found in conduct of avoidance, depersonalization, weight phobia and compulsive controls to own image. Younger women not showed higher average scores than adult women in all areas analyzed. Body image is a fundamental psychosocial issue; impact of body changes is a painful and often difficult to manage aspect not only in young women but also in adult women.
Protein precipitation methods evaluated for determination of serum nitric oxide end products by the Griess assay

Deproteinization is a necessary step in the measurement of serum NOx (nitrite+nitrate) concentrations. This study aims at comparing different protein precipitation methods for measurement of serum nitric oxide end product concentrations by the Griess method. For this purpose, ten protein precipitation methods most of previously used for deproteinization in serum NOx determination, were applied for protein removal. Serum samples from healthy volunteer deproteinaized with different methods, subsequently serum NOx concentrations were determined using the Griess assay. Pearson correlation coefficients and mean differences between values were determined for each method (using ultrafiltration as a reference method). P-values below 0.05 were considered significant. The nitrite standard curve had linearity up to 150 μmol/l (r2=0.998). Our results showed that acid solutions are not suitable for protein removal in serum NOx determination. Using methanol, ethanol, and diethylether/methanol resulted with higher serum NOx values. Acetonitrile and zinc sulfate showed good agreement with the ultrafiltration method for serum NOx determination, in terms of their mean differences from ultrafiltration method (-1.6 ± 8.6 and -2.3 ± 7.4 respectively). It can be concluded that zinc sulfate and acetonitrile are the methods of choice for protein removal in determining serum NOx concentrations using the Griess method.
Transfer Learning Algorithm for Object Detection

—This study is related to transfer learning in Faster-RCNN, which is a representative model for object detection tasks. Image recognition includes image classiﬁcation, object detection and image segmentation task. Transfer learning is especially important for the object detection task and the image segmentation task because of the high cost of generating training data. In this study, we use an algorithm to calculate the difference between tasks by focusing on the amount of parameter updates. We then applied the algorithm to an object detection task and aimed to make it useful for transfer learning
Twisting Supersymmetric Field Theories

1. It allows us to take a very complicated and unwieldy field theory (like super Yang-Mills) and produce a much simpler theory, both simpler in the sense of having a more understandable Lagrangian description, but also often simpler in terms of invariance under the action of certain symmetries. For instance one can often produce topological or conformal field theories from supersymmetric theories that are only Euclidean.

Medically important trombiculids: a systematic review of the global distribution and clinical consequences of their bites

Background: Mites are among the smallest arthropods that can be seen without magnification, were the use of dermatoscopy is an invaluable tool. They are a cosmopolitan pest, and at the moment more than 250 species have been shown to produce problems for humans and animals alike. These mites are capable of producing a wide array of clinical signs and symptoms, from local to systemic, from mild to severe, as well as transmitting pathogens. This study aimed to provide an update to the clinical impact on human health, the distribution and species involved in the clinical conditions produced by trombiculids through a systematic review. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted in Medline, Lilacs, Redalyc, Scopus, SciELO and Google Scholar, were we use as a threshold of publication date the year 2008. We limited the search strategy to articles published in Portuguese, French, English and Spanish. Eligible studies were case reports and case series that reported outcomes in humans caused by trombiculid bites. Patient-level and study-level information was extracted. Results: The literature search yielded 832 studies; 13 were case reports, 4 case series and 2 descriptive studies reporting a total of 49 cases. Most patients were male, and the median age was 33.7±6.4 years old. The most frequently reported symptoms were local erythema, pruritus and papules. No deaths were documented. Trombiculids from the genera Trombicula, Eutrombicula and Leptotrombidium appear to be the most commonly reported. Discussion: Trombiculiasis is an infestation caused by the larval stage of various types of mites, known as chiggers, they belong to the class Arachnida and the family Trombiculidae. This systematic review provides an overview of the trombiculids of clinical importance, their distribution and effects of the bite on human health. Our results show that there are different species of mites that can have important consequences for human health. No fatal cases owere registered.Even so, the transmission of scrub typhus is important and remains one of the most life-threatening rickettsial infections in some regions of Asia. Conclusions: The bite of different species of trombiculids around the world can cause a wide array of clinical consequences to human health. Even as mortality appear to be nonexistent, trombiculid bites must be adequately diagnosed and treated properly.
Correlation between Corporate Governance and Financial Performance

This paper aims to highlight the impact that corporate governance variables have on companies' financial performance, being based on a set of significant previous scientific studies. The developed econometric model involves identifying the existence and the type of dependence between several key corporate governance variables (the size of the Board, the percentage of independent directors in the total number of directors, the frequency of meetings at management level, dividends and capital structure) and financial performance of the company, represented by the performance indicator ROE (return on equity). Also, for the accuracy of the model, we have chosen companies operating only in one market, namely the European banking system. Subsequently we have chosen a set of 30 banks, for which we have analyzed the annual trends for the period 2009 2013.
Simple Slope Stabilization on Quartz Sandstone using Horizontal Drain

The maintaining stability of public facilities, especially public roads, it is very necessary, so the stabilization efforts must be carried out. The water from seepage that comes out of sandstone layer carries material with fine particles, it causes the rock cohesion to decrease and thus leading to scouring. As a result of the scouring, the layer becomes overstep and can disturb road stability. This study was conducted to provide simple but measurable recommendation for maintaining road stability after the previous stabilization effort failed. The method used a fluid mechanics approach in which water from the formation was given space to come out of the formation without carrying fine particles (cement). The analysis was carried out using the finite element method by installing horizontal drain pipe. The result of analysis shows that the horizontal drain installation helps water to come out without creating an overstep layer. The recommended horizontal drain is 8 m long with a slope of at least 3% and a length of 1 m that must enter the sandstone formation as a water source. With this method, the road stability can be maintained and the stabilization can be carried out in an easy, inexpensive, and applicable way.
The reversal strategy: A test case for an emerging market

The reversal strategy in the Pakistan Stock Market has shown significant profits for the time period January 1993 September 2017. The available asset pricing models are unable to link these returns with the risk premium. This paper explores an alternative channel of predicting risk premium. It suggests that reversal profits can be considered as compensation for providing liquidity to the market during times of high volatility. Results reveal that reversal is stronger for illiquid and volatile stocks. Furthermore, firms that show reversal, are cash constrained, have lower return on asset (ROA) and equity (ROE), lesser operating profitability (OP), investment (INV) and net income (NI).

Phantasy and reality-teleportation versus quantum computing

Application of quantum theory in informatics and the creation of quantum information devices have revolutionary changed our idea about the information systems. It seems to us that the only question is that quantum computers will be introduced in the next decade or in some years later. Anyhow, we should prepare to teach a radically new paradigm, the quantum algorithms, in informatics. Quantum algorithm can be demonstrated with quantum simulators. The present paper shows an educational material, which facilitates the teaching of this new field. Besides summarising the basic concepts and methods of quantum informatics, the working of a quantum algorithm on a quantum simulator will be also illustrated with the discussion of an exciting quantum physical phenomenon (the teleportation).
BMV-CSC Patch: Sel Punca Jantung dengan Biomimetic Microvessel berbasis HUVEC sebagai Inovasi Potensial untuk Terapi Infark Miokardium Akut

Background: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The most common form of CHD is acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Cardiac stem cell therapy (CSC) to replace infarct tissue is a promising approach. Further development of this approach is hampered by the low retention and survival of stem cells after injection in the ischemic myocardium. A new approach that can be used to overcome this problem is to make a vascularized heart patch using microfluidics with a hydrodynamic focusing technique to create biomimetic microvessels (BMVs) which include HUVECs on the luminal surface. Recent studies have reported that BMV endothelium mimics the natural architecture and function of capillaries. The BMV product was then integrated with CSC in fibrin gel and formed into a patch. Method: The method used in this literature review is through literature searches using inclusion and exclusion criteria. Next, we analyze, synthesize, and summarize in this literature review. Discussion: ELISA results show that the BMV-CSC patch can release higher levels of paracrine factors. In in vivo studies, BMV-CSC patch therapy induced the highest mitotic activity of cardiomyocytes in the peri-infarct region. In addition, there was also a significant increase in myocardial capillary density and angiogenesis in the infarct area with the BMV-CSC patch method compared to conventional heart stem cell technology. Conclusion: BMV-CSC patch provides significant benefits and has the potential to be used as a therapy for AMI disease.

THE EFFECT OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY LEVEL ON BODY BUILD AND PHYSICAL FITNESS OF GIRLS AND BOYS

Aim: The study was aimed to evaluate the somatic build and physical fi tness of children and adolescents aged 10-19 depending on their physical activity. Basic procedures: The survey was conducted in the years 2008-2009 among 925 girls and 1,016 boys aged 10-19 years, attending rural and urban schools in the Biala Podlaska county. The following basic anthropometric measures were taken: body height, body mass, arm and shank circumference, thickness of three skinfolds (over the triceps, over the scapula and over the iliac crest). The Body Mass Index (BMI) was computed from values of body height and mass measurements. Numeric values of somatotypological components were calculated as well; these including: endomorphy, mesomorphy and ectomorphy. Physical activity was evaluated based on the trials of the European Physical Fitness Test battery, and was stratifi ed according to a 3-level scale: low activity – up to 1 hour, moderate activity – between 1 and 3 hours, and high activity – 4 and more hours. In groups of the physical activity of girls and boys, values of somatic traits and results of motor tests were normalized with the use of equations indicating dependencies of mean values and standard deviations from age, according to Stupnicki et al. [1]. Signifi cance of differences between the studied groups was evaluated using ANOVA analysis of variance with the “post-hoc” Newman-Keuls test. Results: The surveyed girls and boys with the highest physical activity were characterized by the lowest values of somatic traits, except for body height, and by the best results of physical fi tness. Greater differences between results were observed in the girls. Conclusions: A correlation was demonstrated between the physical activity and somatic build and physical fi tness of the surveyed girls and boys. Antropomotoryka.

A Review of Recent Progress in Efficiency-Power Correlations of Silicon Hetero-Junction Solar Cells

Solar technology is widely used to generate the electricity. It is fundamental p-n junction that supplies the emf whenever sunlight falls on it. A lot of efforts have been incremented by inserting the impurity level in the semiconductor band gap to enhance the efficiency of the solar cells. Copper zinc tin sulphide (Cu2ZnSnS4) devices are the highly stable and efficient part for the most fundamental of many solar cells. Cadmium (Cd) doping is carried out to enhance the efficiency of CZTS. Cadmium sulphide (CdS) consists of band gap that is 2.4 eV. Ternary organic solar cells attract the researchers interest level due to the best absorbing capacity that is much easier to handle but the exclusive difficulty in dealing with its morphology. Thin film solar cells have greater coefficient of absorption because of its high functioning and have band gap value in the range between 1.5 and 1.0 eV. Solar cells consists of chalcopyrite on a polyimide film that demonstrates the largest cell efficiency approximately 18.7%.
