This research is a cross sectional study with a quantitative approach, the data used is secondary data. The sample of the study is 100 non-financial companies in Indonesia which are listed on Indonesia Stock Exchange with the largest market capitalization in 2019. This study finds that the internal governance mechanism on the part of audit committee has a positive influence on corporate anti-corruption disclosure. This shows that the role of audit committee has a major influence increasing transparency in preventing corrupt practices in the company environment.
Colorectal Adenocarcinoma Metastasis to the Hard Palate: An Uncommon Site of Metastasis for a Common Malignancy

Colorectal adenocarcinoma (CRC) most commonly metastasizes to the peritoneum, liver, lung, and bone. Metastasis to the oral cavity is uncommon. Here, we report the case of a 74-year-old man who presented with a few months of chewing and swallowing difficulty, shoulder pain, and weight loss of 30 pounds. On oral exam, he was noted to have a 5 cm fixed hard palate mass. Primary hard palate malignancy was initially suspected. Biopsy of the mass confirmed adenocarcinoma with an immunohistochemical pattern suggestive of colorectal origin. He was later found to have extensive skeletal metastasis. Palliative radiotherapy to the hard palate region was initiated, followed by palliative systemic chemotherapy. We have found only three other published cases of rectal adenocarcinoma with hard palate metastasis.
Scaling observation with complex‐valued coefficients: some remarks and prospects

Three kinds of observations are usually used in the modelling of general systems: Gallilean observation, observation with informational invariance and scaling observation. All these models presuppose the invariance of the dimension of the system under consideration. The purpose of the present paper is to examine what happens when the observation process increases this dimension. A 1‐D co‐ordinate switches to a 2‐D co‐ordinate. Complex‐valued random variables are used to describe this approach. Prospects of applications are outlined.
Psoriasis and sexuality: Patients express their feelings

Abstract Background In France, psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease. For several years now, particular attention has been given to the quality of life (Qol) of psoriasis patients. Sexual dysfunction (SD) defined as not wanting or enjoying sexual experience is an important component of Qol. Psoriasis through its physical symptoms and psychological consequences can thus be responsible for SD. Method The survey participants were recruited through the national psoriasis dermatitis patient association. Result 41% (577) patients reported having SD related to their psoriasis. Women reported significantly more SD than men (387 [44.7%] vs. 190 [35%], p < 0.001). For 396 (28.1%) patients SD due to their psoriasis manifested as a reduction in the frequency of sexual activity, for 207 (14.7%) as change in their sexual practice, and for 284 (27.4%) as an absence of sexual activity without significant difference between women and men. The main consequence of sexual difficulties for patients was loss of self‐confidence in 627 (44.5%) cases, guilt in 209 (14.8%) cases, couple life impairment in 214 (15.2%) cases, isolation in 260 (18.5%) cases and frustration. Discussion In this study investigating SD related to psoriasis, we found that the disease impact sexual relations of 41% of patients of both gender. The main causes of SD were both physical alone and psychological alone, in the same proportions. The physical symptoms of psoriasis are therefore not the only ones responsible for the sexual discomfort reported from patients in their sexual relations. This may be due to a discomfort of the patient or the physician when talking about sexuality because they can't find the terms to talk about this subject often considered taboo and the age or gender difference. This aspect of the disease should be considered by physicians who care for patients with psoriasis, especially dermatologists. Finally, other strategies should be implemented, such as patient talk groups, referral guides or personalised therapeutic education.
Effects of Urban Forest Therapy Program on Depression Patients

Depression is a common serious mental health condition that can have negative personal and social consequences, and managing it is critical for treating depression patients. Forest therapy is emerging as a promising non-pharmacological intervention to improve mental health. However, although the effectiveness of forest therapy programs using forests far from the city has been proven, it is not well known that urban forests can be easily accessed in daily life. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effects of an urban forest therapy program on depression symptoms, sleep quality, and somatization symptoms of depression patients. To evaluate this, a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design was employed. A total of 47 depression patients participated in this study (22 in the urban forest therapy program group and 25 in the control group). The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and the Patient Health Questionnaire-15 (PHQ-15) were administered to each participant to assess the effects of the urban forest therapy program. The results of this study revealed that depression patients in the urban forest therapy program had significantly alleviated depression symptoms and improved sleep quality and somatization symptoms compared to the control group. In conclusion, this study demonstrates the possibility that the urban forest therapy program could be used as an effective non-pharmacological treatment to alleviate depression disorder.
Parameter Optimization of Decentralized OS-CFAR System Based Modified PSO Method

For decentralized ordered statistics (OS) constant false alarm ration (CFAR) detection system, the parameter estimation and performance analysis in complicated detection condition is a typical nonlinear optimization problem. Owing to the nonlinear property of distributed OS-CFAR detection system, it is seriously difficult to obtain optimal threshold values using some optimization method at the fusion center. This paper provides a novel solution based on an effective and flexible particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. As a novel evolutionary computation technique, PSO has attracted much attention and wide applications, owing to its simple concept, easy implementation and quick convergence. Using this approach, all system parameters can be optimized simultaneously. The simulation results show that the proposed approach can achieve effective performances with the above method.
Different Course of Narcolepsy Diagnosed by Multiple Sleep Latency Test: A Single Center Experience

Background and Objective Several studies have raised questions about determining the diagnosis of the narcolepsy using multiple sleep latency test (MSLT). In this study, we investigated the diagnostic change in narcolepsy type 1 (NT1) and narcolepsy type 2 (NT2) using MSLT with long-term interval.Methods In this retrospective study, the demographic characteristics, polysomnography (PSG), and MSLT parameters were compared at the baseline between the NT1 and NT 2 patients. Then, MSLT re-tests were conducted with a mean follow-up of 8.48 years in patients with NT 1 and 7.05 years with NT 2.Results Seventy-four patients (58 with NT1 and 16 with NT2) were investigated in this study. At the baseline, demographic data showed a larger body mass index value, more sleep paralysis, and hypnogogic hallucination in NT 1 compared to NT 2. Also, at baseline MSLT, shorter mean sleep latency and higher number of sleep onset rapid eye movement periods (SOREMPs) were observed in the NT 1 than those of the NT 2. On follow-up MSLT, 6.9% (n = 4) patients with NT1 and 50% (n = 8) patients with NT2 did not satisfy the previous diagnosis. Furthermore, in all the groups who had the change in repeated-MSLT, the groups with less than 2 SOREMPs observed to be accompanied by negative MSL at follow-up.Conclusions The result of MSLT was observed not to be stable in the diagnosis of NT 2 at the study. Therefore, it is recommended to repeat MSLT at regular intervals and do a prospective multi-site survey for the accurate confirmation of a diagnosis of central hypersomnia.
Comparisons of the new thick negative resist to Su8 resist

This work deals with recent advances in the microfabrication process technology for medium to high-aspect ratio structures fabricated by UV photolithography using different kinds of photoresists. The resulting structures were used as molds and will be transformed into metal structures by electroplating. Two types of photoresists are compared: epoxy-based (negative) SU-8 and acrylate-based (negative) Intervia BPN. This work was prompted by the need to find an alternative to SU-8 photoresist which is difficult to process and remove after electroplating. The results presented in this paper open up new possibilities for low-cost processes using electroplating in MEMS applications.
Characterization and Prediction of Mechanical and Chemical Properties of Luanta Fir Wood with Vacuum Hydrothermal Treatment

Since the chemical composition of wood is closely related to its mechanical properties, chemical analysis techniques such as near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy provide a reasonable non-destructive method for predicting wood strength. In this study, we used NIR spectra with principal component analysis (PCA) to reveal that vacuum hydrothermal (VH) treatment causes degradation of hemicellulose as well as the amorphous region of cellulose, resulting in lower hydroxyl and acetyl group content. These processes increase the crystallinity of the luanta fir wood (Cunninghamia konishii Hayata), which, in turn, effectively increases its compressive strength (σc,max), hardness, and modulus of elasticity (MOE). The PCA results also revealed that the primary factors affecting these properties are the hemicellulose content, hydroxyl groups in the cellulose amorphous region, the wood moisture content, and the relative lignin content. Moreover, the ratios of performance deviation (RPDs) for the σc,max, shear strength (σs,max), hardness, and modulus of rupture (MOR) models were 1.49, 1.24, 1.13, and 2.39, indicating that these models can be used for wood grading (1.0 < RPD < 2.5). Accordingly, NIR can serve as a useful tool for predicting the mechanical properties of VH-treated wood.
Integrative Analysis of miRNAs Involved in Fat Deposition in Different Pig Breeds

Background: miRNAs are a set of small, noncoding RNAs that bind to partially complementary sequences on target mRNAs. This leads to the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Many studies have shown that microRNAs play critical roles in adipose cell differentiation and fat metabolism. The aim of this study was to explore the regulatory functions of miRNAs in fat deposition for the prevention and therapy of lipid metabolism-related diseases. Methods: The significant differences in the fat deposition of Laiwu (LW) pigs and Large White (LY) pigs were studied. To investigate the genetic relationships of miRNAs that regulate fat deposition, we performed a genome-wide analysis of miRNAs derived from subcutaneous adipose tissue of LW and LY pigs using RNA-seq. Results: There were 39 known miRNAs and 56 novel miRNAs significantly differential expressed between the two breeds of pigs. In the analysis of the Gene Ontology and KEGG pathways, predicted targets of these differentially expressed miRNAs were involved in several fat-associated pathways, such as the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR), mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) and Wnt signaling pathways. In addition, ssc-miR-133a-3p, ssc-miR-486 and ssc-miR-1 each had a great impact on the development of porcine subcutaneous fat through the PPAR signaling pathway. Conclusions: We explored the role of differentially expressed miRNAs and studied the mechanisms of adipogenesis and fat deposition between two different pig breeds. In addition, these results also contribute to research relevant to human obesity.
A Brightening Coronal Loop Observed by TRACE. II. Loop Modeling and Constraints on Heating

This is the second of two papers dedicated to the brightening of a coronal loop observed by the Transition Region and Coronal Explorer (TRACE) on 1998 June 26; it aims at hydrodynamic modeling of the brightening. Since the loop geometry is practically unchanged during the brightening, the evolution of the plasma confined in the loop is described with a one-dimensional hydrodynamic time-dependent numerical model, and from the results the emission along the loop in the TRACE 171 Å band is synthesized. The information from Paper I is used to derive the geometry and the initial configuration of the loop as well as for comparison with the results of the model. The modeling is focused to determine the amount, spatial distribution, and evolution of the heating deposited in the loop to make the modeled evolution close to that observed with TRACE. We find that, in order to match the observed evolution and distribution of the brightness along the loop, the heating has to be nonsymmetrical in the loop, in particular, deposited between the apex and one footpoint (3 × 109 cm from the southern footpoint). A reasonable match with observations is obtained by assuming that the heating is switched on abruptly and then kept constant for the whole rising phase. An even better match is obtained with the heating high and constant for 100 s and then decaying exponentially with an e-folding time of 300 s. We discuss the resulting physical scenario; a bright irregular structure close to the loop in the TRACE images may be a tracer of the heating release.
Association of Fluid Balance With Short- and Long-term Respiratory Outcomes in Extremely Premature Neonates

Key Points Question Is fluid balance associated with respiratory outcomes in extremely premature neonates? Findings In this secondary analysis of a placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial in 874 premature neonates, fluid balance during the first 2 postnatal weeks was associated with mechanical ventilation and bronchopulmonary dysplasia. The time to return to birth weight was shorter in neonates who continued to receive mechanical ventilation, and every 5% increase in fluid balance was associated with an increase in the odds of mechanical ventilation. Meaning In premature neonates, fluid balance and more rapid return to birth weight were associated with mechanical ventilation and bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
Characteristics of occasional poor medium-range weather forecasts for Europe

Medium-range weather prediction has become more skillful over recent decades, but forecast centers still suffer from occasional very poor forecasts, which are often referred to as “dropouts” or “busts. ” This study focuses on European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) day-6 forecasts for Europe. Although busts are defined by gross scores, bust composites reveal a coherent “Rex type” blocking situation, with a high over northern Europe and a low over the Mediterranean. Initial conditions for these busts also reveal a coherent flow, but this is located over North America and involves a trough over the Rockies, with high convective available potential energy (CAPE) to its east. This flow type occurs in spring and is often associated with a Rossby wave train that has crossed the Pacific. A composite on this initial flow type displays enhanced day-6 random forecast errors and some-what enhanced ensemble forecast spread, indicating reduced inherent predictability. Mesoscale convective systems, as.
The Development on Areal Density of Magnetic Recording

With the development in magnetic recording, people will seek for higher areal density. To raise the areal density without damaging signal to noise ratio (SNR) and thermal stability, several methods have been proposed after many years of research. This passage will introduce two major approaches, heat assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) and composite media. Besides, the evaluation for two methods will also be discussed in the passage. Apart from these two methods, a new method trapping electron assisted magnetic recording (TEAMR) will also be mentioned in the final of the passage. In conclusion, HAMR is faced with many problems in fabrication, composite media has many improvements to take full advantage of it and TEAMR is promising but costs much nowadays.

This paper attempts to summarize the current management design of nursing homes based on IoT communication technology and blockchain thinking, and then study how to realize real-time positioning and monitoring services for the elderly in nursing homes. To create a high-quality nursing environment for the elderly, or to effectively improve the monitoring level of nursing homes and the work efficiency of staff.
Noise and synchronization on micro and macroscopic scales

The complexities exhibited by biological systems are highly intriguing. Their activity can span both micro and macroscopic scales simultaneously. Often noise plays an important role. So, the analysis of the dynamical properties of such systems poses a major challenge. In this paper we introduce an approach that is applicable within both the micro and macroscopic worlds, where a large number of oscillators acting on a similar time scale can be represented as an ensemble that, on the macroscopic scale, may be taken as a single oscillator. On the macroscopic scale they interact with other similar type of oscillators, but usually on widely different time scales. We use recently introduced nonlinear dynamics methods and methods derived from information theory, and extend their application to oscillations acting on micro and macroscopic scales at the same time. We demonstrate such interactions using numerical examples and real physiological data related to cardiac, respiratory and brain activities.
Neutrino emission processes in hyperon-populated neutron stars

Several neutrino emission processes expected to occur in neutron stars containing hyperons are examined. The processes are assumed to occur in a dense, degenerate environment subject to charge and beta-equilibrium in which the electrons are extremely relativistic and the baryons nonrelativistic. Numerical results are obtained for a number of neutron star scenarios characterized by fixed values of the fractional baryon populations and the electron-to-baryon ratio. In all scenarios considered, it is found that the Urca processes dominate the bremsstrahlung processes and that among the Urca processes, the most important processes are those involving nucleons alone, provided the nucleons in the interior are normal. If either the neutrons or protons are superfluid, however, then processes involving hyperons will contribute the largest emissivities, significantly accelerating the cooling. 48 references.
Inertial migration of rigid spheres in two-dimensional unidirectional flows

The familiar Segré-Silberberg effect of inertia-induced lateral migration of a neutrally buoyant rigid sphere in a Newtonian fluid is studied theoretically for simple shear flow and for two-dimensional Poiseuille flow. It is shown that the spheres reach a stable lateral equilibrium position independent of the initial position of release. For simple shear flow, this position is midway between the walls, whereas for Poiseuille flow, it is 0·6 of the channel half-width from the centre-line. Particle trajectories are calculated in both cases and compared with available experimental data. Implications for the measurement of the rheological properties of a dilute suspension of spheres are discussed.
UAV-Aided Vehicular Short-Packet Communication and Edge Computing System Under Time-Varying Channel

In this paper, a novel UAV-aided vehicular edge computing (VEC) network is proposed, where the vehicle and on-board UAV provide multi-access edge computing (MEC) service for the roadside Internet of Things (IoT) devices. In this system, considering the time-varying channel, we derive the lower bound of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) based on the first-order Gauss-Markov process. Then, with the short-packet transmission, we maximize the total amount of computation by jointly optimizing the communication scheduling, the trajectories of the vehicle and on-board UAV, and the computing resource, subject to the mobility, connection and computation constraints. The formulated optimization problem is a mix-integer non-convex problem. To efficiently solve it, we propose an alternative algorithm based on the Lagrangian dual decomposition and successive convex approximation technique. Extensive simulation results are provided to show the performance gain of the proposed algorithm.
Two-generator arithmetic Fuchsian groups. II

An arithmetic Fuchsian group is necessarily of finite covolume and so of the first kind. From the structure theorem for finitely generated Fuchsian groups those of the first kind which can be generated by two elements are triangle groups, groups of signature (1;q;0) or (1; ; 1) or groups of signature (0;2,2,2,e;0) where e is odd 6. It is known that there are finitely many conjugacy classes of arithmetic groups with these signatures or indeed with any fixed signature 3, 15. In the case of non-cocompact groups, the arithmetic groups are conjugate to groups commensurable with the classical modular group and are easily determined. For the other groups described above the space of conjugacy classes of all such Fuchsian groups of fixed signature can be described in terms of the traces of a pair of generating elements and their product. In the case of triangle groups this space is a single point. This description has been utilized to determine all classes of triangle groups 13 and groups of signature (1;q;0) which are arithmetic 15. In this paper we determine all classes of groups of signature (0;2,2,2,e;0) with e odd which are arithmetic. The techniques involving traces used so profitably in 15 are not so fruitful in this case. Consequently we have in the main resorted to a quite different method which does not rely on having a precise description of the space of conjugacy classes and hence could be applicable to groups other than those which have rank 2. Extensive use is made of results of Borell on the structure of arithmetic Fuchsian groups which require detailed information on the number fields defining the quaternion algebras. Consequently, the results are given in terms of the quaternion algebra which is determined by its defining field and ramification set, and maximal orders in that quaternion algebra.
Diffusion, Static Charges, and the Conduction of Electricity in Nonmetallic Solids by a Single Charge Carrier. I. Electric Charges in Plastics and Insulating Materials

The dynamic equilibrium of space charge in insulators such as ceramics, molecular crystals, or high polymers, is considered from the thermodynamic point of view with quantum‐mechanical boundary conditions. The treatment constitutes the opposite extreme from the usual ohmic conduction equations; in the first paper, only the zero‐current equilibrium of charge is considered. Applications are made to the observed charging of high polymers during molding.
