Endoscopic Treatment of T1 Colorectal Cancer

Simple Summary Endoscopic resection of early-stage colorectal cancer is sufficient if histopathology indicates a low risk for lymph-node metastasis. Among the factors associated with lymph-node metastasis, tumor infiltration depth into the submucosal layer seems to carry the lowest risk, particularly in the absence of other risk factors. Unfortunately, with current resection techniques, the quantity and quality of the submucosal layer are often insufficient. Thus, histopathology may become unreliable, and unnecessary surgery may result. A resection strategy using novel devices designed for endoscopic resection of a maximum quantity and quality of the submucosal layer should provide an advantage. Abstract Commonly accepted criteria for curative resection of T1 colorectal cancer include R0 resection with horizontal and vertical clear margins (R0), absence of lympho-vascular or vessel infiltration (L0, V0), a low to moderate histological grading (G1/2), low tumor cell budding, and limited (<1000 µm) infiltration into the submucosa. However, submucosal infiltration depth in the absence of other high-risk features has recently been questioned as a high-risk situation for lymph-node metastasis. Consequently, endoscopic resection techniques should focus on the acquisition of qualitatively and quantitively sufficient submucosal tissue. Here, we summarize the current literature on lymph-node metastasis risk after endoscopic resection of T1 colorectal cancer. Moreover, we discuss different endoscopic resection techniques with respect to the quality of the resected specimen.
Recent Results on Meson Decays from A2

Light meson decays are used to investigate topics related to fundamental aspects of particle physics. Precision measurements of meson Dalitz decays give input to theoretical evaluations of the Hadronic Light-by-Light contribution (HLbL) to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. The A2 collaboration, using the Crystal Ball/TAPS setup at MAMI, has recently published several high precision results on transition form factors which are related to HLbL. Pseudoscalar η’ decays allow for studies of topics like ππ scattering lengths, eﬀective field theories and fundamental symmetries. In 2014 the collaboration had a dedicated experimental campaign with one of its main goals to measure the dynamics of η’→ π0π0η with high precision. A brief overview of the experimental setup, physics motivations, analyses and results are given.
An Evaluation Of Wireless Real-Time Data Of Solar Tracking System

Sunlight and heat use various continually changing techniques, including solar thermal and artificial photosynthesis. These mechanisms change their orientation throughout the day as the sun maximizes energy absorption. Solar panels are directed towards the sun by the trackers that can increase solar energy compared to the fixed-angle system. Modification efficiency is improved in any solar system when the tracking system is continuously adjusted to the most favorable angle as the sun crosses the sky. The project presents the development of a solar tracking system using Arduino-UNO that allows the panel to move towards high-intensity sunlight via two LDRs. The monitoring system is implemented to record the data of solar energy parameters and factors affecting its deficiencies using ThingSpeak platform. The result shows the tracking system has efficiencies of 54.74% higher than a fixed system. The monitoring system is practical for analyzing the real-time solar panel
Entropic uncertainty relation under correlated dephasing channels

Uncertainty relations are a characteristic trait of quantum mechanics. Even though the traditional uncertainty relations are expressed in terms of the standard deviation of two observables, there exists another class of such relations based on entropic measures. Here we investigate the memory-assisted entropic uncertainty relation in an open quantum system scenario. We study the dynamics of the entropic uncertainty and its lower bound, related to two incompatible observables, when the system is affected by noise, which can be described by a correlated Pauli channel. In particular, we demonstrate how the entropic uncertainty for these two incompatible observables can be reduced as the correlations in the quantum channel grow stronger.
Fixed-point design methodology of the hyperbolic tangent function using lookup tables with performance evaluation on FPGA

The sigmoid functions, including the hyperbolic tangent, are widely used in artificial neural networks. Usually, artificial neural networks are implemented on a computer, in training and testing phases, using floating point arithmetic. In some situations it is necessary to improve the performance of neural networks, in such cases the implementations are designed for specific digital devices, using fixed point arithmetic. This strategy increases the speed, and reduces the hardware resources and consumed power. The sigmoid functions are non-linear systems because include exponentials and divisions operations, so they are the bottleneck of the artificial neuron design and cannot be implemented directly in fixed-point format. For this reason, several methods of approximation are used, mainly based on piecewise approximations. One of the most common technique is to use Look-up Tables, which store samples of the function. This method needs a lot of hardware resources, but it reaches the highest speed. The first objective, using lookup table approximations, is to explore the set of solutions and study the effect of the number of bits. This can only be achieved if an advanced design methodology is used for experimentation, a second objective is to expose this fast and flexible design method. Thirdly, the measure of functionality associated with the error is reviewed. A new functionality measure is proposed associated with the concept of signal to noise power relation. The new measure allows compare different approximations; besides, some linearities are observed against the number of bits. Afterwards, the implementations are developed on some Field Programmable Gate Arrays and the performances are evaluated: hardware resources, speed and consumed power. Again, some linear behaviours are observed. Finally, a quality factor is proposed, which includes functionality and physical performances, this factor allows comparison between different implementations.

Risk management of Islamic microfinance institutions: unique practices at crucial risks

The objective of this study is to gain a better understanding of risk management and control practices at BMT UGT Nusantara, an Islamic microfinance institution in Indonesia, with a particular emphasis on financing risk, liquidity risk, and Sharia compliance risk. These three risks are said to occur frequently and have a direct impact on performance. Because of the uniqueness of the site, the design of this qualitative research is descriptive and exploratory with a holistic single-case approach. In-depth interviews, field observations, focus group discussions, and a review of supporting documents were used to collect data. Because the interactive cycle process includes data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and data withdrawal, data analysis employs an interactive model. The data was validated using the criteria of credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability. The study's findings show that BMT UGT Nusantara, an Islamic microfinance institution in Indonesia, employs traditional-partial risk management on financing risk, liquidity risk, and Sharia compliance risk. Risk management is carried out by integrating "macul bumi", or outward efforts based on sincerity, and "macul langit", or spiritual efforts. Furthermore, it employs information systems that play an important role in risk management in order to improve organizational performance and competitive advantage.
Compact neutron generator with nanotube ion source

In this letter, we report the observation of fast neutrons generated when a positive acceleration potential is applied to an array of orientated carbon nanotubes, which are used as an ion source. The neutrons with energy of 2.45 MeV are generated as a result of D-D fusion reaction. The dependencies of the neutron yield on the value of the applied potential and residual pressure of deuterium are measured. The proposed approach is planned to be used for the development of compact neutron generators.

A Physics-Inspired Deep Learning Framework for an Efficient Fourier Ptychographic Microscopy Reconstruction under Low Overlap Conditions

Two-dimensional observation of biological samples at hundreds of nanometers resolution or even below is of high interest for many sensitive medical applications. Recent advances have been obtained over the last ten years with computational imaging. Among them, Fourier Ptychographic Microscopy is of particular interest because of its important super-resolution factor. In complement to traditional intensity images, phase images are also produced. A large set of N raw images (with typically N = 225) is, however, required because of the reconstruction process that is involved. In this paper, we address the problem of FPM image reconstruction using a few raw images only (here, N = 37) as is highly desirable to increase microscope throughput. In contrast to previous approaches, we develop an algorithmic approach based on a physics-informed optimization deep neural network and statistical reconstruction learning. We demonstrate its efficiency with the help of simulations. The forward microscope image formation model is explicitly introduced in the deep neural network model to optimize its weights starting from an initialization that is based on statistical learning. The simulation results that are presented demonstrate the conceptual benefits of the approach. We show that high-quality images are effectively reconstructed without any appreciable resolution degradation. The learning step is also shown to be mandatory.
Monsters with family and tradition: queering family in Central Russia’s Vampires

ABSTRACT This article analyses the web series Central Russia’s Vampires (streaming platform Start, since 2021) as a site of articulating queerness on screen in contemporary Russia. I zoom in on the layers of family and tradition that lie at the core of the show and argue that by exploring them through the trope of the vampire – an immortal, subversive, queer figure – the show offers a non-normative spin on the patriarchal treatment of these topics in contemporary Russian hegemonic discourse. I demonstrate that the queering of family and tradition in the show happens on three levels. First, the series delivers a complex cartography of intertextual and multimedia references and produces a queer family with a cultural tradition of media presence that extends far beyond the show. Second, the series queers the idea of ‘traditional families’ that animates current Russian hegemonic discourse by portraying a family of Others – the vampires – who fit into majority scripts and are literally part of Russia’s tradition due to their centuries-old age. Finally, Central Russia’s Vampires queers the family and tradition on the level of genre, by producing a special New Year episode that normalises families of Others within Russian holiday-season films.
EARNINGS MANAGEMENT IN CORPORATE GOVERNANCE: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW

Increased profits will attract shareholders. In order to attract their attention, companies will conduct various ways about the financial health and company performance that are available in the public domain before they are publicized. Therefore, the company has the motivation to implement earnings management that can increase profits to improve its performance results. Therefore, this research aims to determine the impact of earnings management on corporate governance. This research method used a systematic literature review with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines for articles that have been published during 2010-2023. Around 170 articles were obtained from journal databases, such as Emerald Insight, Scopus, Science Direct, and others. Furthermore, data validation and testing were conducted to obtain 50 articles that could be used as the main research. The main point of this literature study is to examine the earnings management function in corporate governance in various published articles.
The natural advantage of regions

The combined impacts of the ﬁnancial crisis and climate change are driving the evolution of sustainable business and changing the way that governments plan for development. Markets are emerging for a range ofenvironmentallyorientatedproductsandservicesassocietiesmove(orlurch)towardsreducingimpacts and adapt to changing conditions. National governments are actively formulating policy and providing investment to develop green economies as one of the responses to the global ﬁnancial crisis. Many of the political and economic drivers have been focused at the international and national scale, and while critical forsettingthenationalframeworkfordevelopment,itoftenneglectsthekeyrolethatregionsandlocalities can play in ecological modernization. This paper explores two regional case studies in New South Wales (NSW), Australia, that are initiating shifts towards networks of sustainable businesses and communities and offers recommendations for further policy development. The focus of this paper is on the evolving regional sustainability market and its relationship to other social institutions including governments, communities and the individual. The unifying concept is the idea of the ‘natural advantage’, a model that integrates innovation and sustainability as a part of the regional development policy agenda. (cid:2) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

Reducing the Conservatism of Stabilization for Discrete-Time Takagi–Sugeno Fuzzy Systems via a New Extended Representation Approach

This paper addresses the problem of reducing the conservatism for stabilization of discrete-time Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy systems via a new extended representation approach. Different from previous slack variable methods, an advanced slack variable method without limitations is proposed for further making good use of available fuzzy weighting functions. Owing to the introduction of extended representations for homogenous polynomials, those strong limitations in recent literature are relaxed and thus the primary and secondary sequences of all normalized fuzzy weighting functions can be mapped to one augmented multi-indexed matrix for each homogeneous polynomial. Therefore, less conservative stabilization conditions can be provided as a result of these effective measures and thus a part of the online computational cost is transferred to the offline implementation. Finally, the benefits of the proposed method are illustrated by means of numerical experiments.
Regional difference in precipitation seasonality over China from CMIP6 projections

Based on historical simulations and projections under two scenarios of the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP2‐4.5 and SSP5‐8.5) provided by 32 models from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6), we investigate the future precipitation seasonality changes over China by two indices, the dimensionless seasonality index (DSI) and the relative seasonality index (SI), and the associated physical mechanisms by moisture budget diagnosis. The results show that relative to the baseline period 1995–2014, the DSI is enhanced across almost all of China at the end of the 21st century, with stronger magnitudes in southeastern China and the southern Tibetan Plateau and weaker magnitudes in northwestern China, and national‐mean enhancements are 15% (7%–21%) and 23% (15%–29%) for the multimodel median (25th–75th percentile range across models) under the SSP2‐4.5 and SSP5‐8.5 scenarios, respectively. Projected SI changes show large regional differences, with decreases in northern China and increase in southern China, leading to little change for the national mean. The DSI and SI changes are associated with uneven distributions of changes in absolute amounts and relative proportions of precipitation among seasons, respectively. Further analysis reveals that the contributions of different moisture budget terms to precipitation changes vary across seasons, resulting in changes in the seasonal distribution of precipitation and thus the DSI and SI changes. Specifically, the thermodynamic component of vertical moisture advection primarily determines the greater magnitude of increased precipitation in summer than in winter in most of China, resulting in the DSI change. The reduction in residual term dominates the diminished winter precipitation in southern China, leading to more precipitation concentrated in summer for given annual precipitation and thus the intensification in SI, while the opposite holds true in northern China.
Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Deformable Viral Capsomers

Most coarse-grained models of individual capsomers associated with viruses employ rigid building blocks that do not exhibit shape adaptation during self-assembly. We develop a coarse-grained general model of viral capsomers that incorporates their stretching and bending energies while retaining many features of the rigid-body models, including an overall trapezoidal shape with attractive interaction sites embedded in the lateral walls to favor icosahedral capsid assembly. Molecular dynamics simulations of deformable capsomers reproduce the rich self-assembly behavior associated with a general T=1 icosahedral virus system in the absence of a genome. Transitions from non-assembled configurations to icosahedral capsids to kinetically-trapped malformed structures are observed as the steric attraction between capsomers is increased. An assembly diagram in the space of capsomer–capsomer steric attraction and capsomer deformability reveals that assembling capsomers of higher deformability into capsids requires increasingly large steric attraction between capsomers. Increasing capsomer deformability can reverse incorrect capsomer–capsomer binding, facilitating transitions from malformed structures to symmetric capsids; however, making capsomers too soft inhibits assembly and yields fluid-like structures.
