Identifying cost-effective treatment with raloxifene in postmenopausal women using risk algorithms for fractures and invasive breast cancer

The National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF) recommends considering treatment in women with a 20% or higher 10-year probability of a major fracture. However, raloxifene reduces both the risk of vertebral fractures and invasive breast cancer so that raloxifene treatment may be clinically appropriate and cost-effective in women who do not meet a 20% threshold risk. The aim of this study was to identify cost-effective scenarios of raloxifene treatment compared to no treatment in younger postmenopausal women at increased risk of invasive breast cancer and fracture risks below 20%.A micro-simulation model populated with data specific to American Caucasian women was used to quantify the costs and benefits of 5-year raloxifene treatment. The population evaluated was selected based on 10-year major fracture probability as estimated with FRAX® being below 20% and 5-year invasive breast cancer risk as estimated with the Gail risk model ranging from 1% to 5%.The cost per QALY gained ranged from US $22,000 in women age 55 with 5% invasive breast cancer risk and 15-19.9% fracture probability, to $110,000 in women age 55 with 1% invasive breast cancer risk and 5-9.9% fracture probability. Raloxifene was progressively cost-effective with increasing fracture risk and invasive breast cancer risk for a given age cohort. At lower fracture risk in combination with lower invasive breast cancer risk or when no preventive raloxifene effect on invasive breast cancer was assumed, the cost-effectiveness of raloxifene worsened markedly and was not cost-effective given a willingness-to-pay of US $50,000. At fracture risk of 15-19.9% raloxifene was cost-effective also in women at lower invasive breast cancer risk.Raloxifene is potentially cost-effective in cohorts of young postmenopausal women, who do not meet the suggested NOF 10-year fracture risk threshold. The cost-effectiveness is contingent on their 5-year invasive breast cancer risk. The result highlights the importance of considering a woman's full risk profile when considering anti-osteoporosis treatment.

Tension-controlling method for a yarn unwinding from a storage yarn feeder to a textile machine

The yarn tension is modulated by a yarn-braking device controlled by a control unit which receives signals of measured tension from a tension sensor and compares them with a reference tension signal in a control loop; as long as the reference tension remains unchanged, a first set of coefficients is used in the control loop causing the control loop to have a relatively slow behaviour in relation to the error-compensating action; when a change in the reference tension occurs, the system switches to a second set of coefficients causing the control loop to have a relatively fast behaviour; the second set of coefficients is maintained as long as the difference between the second value of the reference tension and the measured tension remains greater or equal to a predetermined minimum value, then the system switches again to the first set of coefficients.
Microglia action towards neuronal circuit formation and function in health and disease

Constructing a neuronal circuit requires a firework of developmental events: First, the desired cell types have to be generated and wired correctly. Random propagating burst of action potentials among neighboring cells are shaping the functional maturation of these cell types, which later will be activity-dependent refined. Microglia are exposed to this environment from the beginning and show throughout development a morphological “activated”, phagocytic state. However, microglia have been proven to be involved in synapse refinement, which leads to the question how do microglia know when to alter neuronal circuit elements during development without inducing circuit malfunction? This is a fundamental question because the microglia activation state during development is intriguingly similar to the activation state in neurodegenerative diseases. To address this question, I use the retina as a model and propose the following three aims: First, we will reveal how the functional and gene regulatory network of microglia are altered when they are exposed to the neuronal activity-dependent environment and identify neuronal-imposed developmental checkpoints. We will study whether alteration of microglia function in this system will impact circuit formation and function. Second, we will examine microglia dynamics upon sequential removal of neuronal cell types in disease conditions and investigate whether functional restoration of cell types using optogenetic techniques resets microglia function. Third, we will establish the role of healthy and diseased microglia in human retinal circuit formation by reprogramming microglia and 3D-retinoids from healthy and diseased human iPS cells. I predict that my findings provide crucial insights into the functional impact of microglia upon both normal development and function, as well as how their actions may lead to disease phenotypes in situations of neurodegenerative diseases.
High-frequency acoustic scattering from prolate spheroids with high aspect ratio

The problems of high-frequency scattering by prolate soft and hard spheroids with high aspect ratio are studied. The asymptotics of the diffracted field and the far field amplitude are derived under the assumption that the spheroid is strongly elongated; that is, the ratio of its length measured in wavelengths to the square of its transverse wave size is on the order of unity. This ratio is presented as a parameter in all the asymptotic formulas, namely, in the asymptotics of the forward diffracted wave, the wave that is formed when forward wave "reflects" from the spheroid end, in the asymptotics of the far field amplitude, and effective cross-section. If this ratio tends to zero, the asymptotic formulas turn into classical. On the basis of the derived asymptotic formulas, the effects of the degree of elongation and the angle of incidence on the diffracted and scattered fields are analyzed. Comparison with some test examples allows one to expect good approximating properties of the presented asymptotic formulas.
Fishing fleet capacity and profitability

Abstract The individual transferable quotas (ITQ) system is a popular fisheries management system applied in many countries. Here, vessels are scrapped or sold out of the fishery, and their quotas are transferred to the remaining vessels, resulting in lower number of active vessels. This consequently reduces the overcapacity of fishing fleets and likely improves financial performance. Unlike previous studies, this paper quantifies the impact of capacity adjustment on vessel profitability through an econometric model. Supply and demand shifters are included in the model to isolate the influence of capacity adjustment. The case studies are the total Norwegian fishing fleet and an important vessel group – the ocean-going cod trawlers. Empirical findings generally indicate a positive impact of capacity adjustment on vessel financial performance. The observed recent decline in financial profitability of the fishing fleet may therefore be attributed to other factors rather than overcapacity.

Cyclonic activity in high latitudes as simulated by a regional atmospheric climate model: added value and uncertainties

Decadal long simulations of atmospheric circulation in the high latitudes have been carried out using a multiscale atmospheric modeling system that consists of MGO global and regional atmospheric models with respective resolutions of 200, 50 and 25 km in the horizontal. The detailed analysis of extratropical cyclone activity including activity of polar mesocyclones has been conducted for the winter season using an advanced cyclone identification and tracking scheme. To enhance the applicability of high-resolution regional atmospheric modeling in the context of detailed general atmospheric circulation analysis, an end-to-end approach for cyclone trajectory calculation on a unified global and regional grid has been proposed. It has been shown that increasing modeling resolution in the high latitudes allows one to more realistically simulate the activity of baroclinic waves and the thermal regime of the Arctic troposphere. The statistical structure of cyclonic activity has been investigated depending on the spatial resolution of the modeling system and compared with that in the reanalyses and satellite-derived analyses. The performance of the atmospheric models in the simulation of extreme cyclones is evaluated.
Changes in preschool children's OHRQoL after treatment of dental caries: responsiveness of the B-ECOHIS

Oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) measures should be tested for responsiveness to change if they are to be used as outcomes in randomized clinical trials.To assess the responsiveness of the Brazilian ECOHIS (B-ECOHIS) to dental treatment of dental caries.One hundred parents of 3- to 5-year-old children completed the B-ECOHIS prior to their children's treatment and 7-14 days after completion of treatment. The post-treatment questionnaire also included a global transition judgment that assessed parent's perceptions of change in their children's oral health following treatment. Change scores, longitudinal construct validity, standardized effect sizes (ES) and standardized response mean (SRM) were calculated.Improvements in children's oral health after treatment were reflected in mean pre- and post-treatment B-ECOHIS scores. They declined considerably significantly from 17.4 to 1.6 (P < 0.0001), as did the individual domain scores (P < 0.0001). There were significant differences in the pre- and post-treatment scores of children who reported little improvement (P < 0.0001) as well as in those who reported large improvements (P < 0.0001). The ES and SRM based on change scores mean for total scores and for categories of global transitions judgments were large.Dental treatment resulted in significant improvement of the preschool children's OHRQoL. The B-ECOHIS is responsive.
The first calibration of radiolarian biochronology with Late Cretaceous (latest Coniacian–Santonian to early Campanian) planktonic foraminifera in the volcano-sedimentary sequences of the Eastern Pontides, NE Turkey

Abstract In the Eastern Pontides (NE Turkey), one of the few and most substantial biochronologic calibration studies in the world was performed on radiolarians associated with planktonic foraminifera in four measured stratigraphic sections, including the Upper Cretaceous rocks of two different tectonic units (the northern part of the Hopa–Borcka Zone and the Aksu Unit of the Olur–Tortum Zone). Furthermore, the dating of volcanism through volcanic and pyroclastic rock units in contact with fossiliferous rocks was executed. Santonian radiolarian taxa, latest Coniacian–Santonian and late Santonian planktonic foraminifer taxa were obtained from bioclastic wackestones and packstones in association with basalt sills and basaltic hyaloclastites in the Kucukdere-1 and Kucukdere-2 sections of the Caglayan Formation around Trabzon. Early Campanian radiolarians and planktonic foraminifera were obtained from cherts interbedded with rhyolitic pyroclastic rocks in the Koyuncular section of Cayirbag Formation near Artvin and bioclastic wackestones in the Aksu section of the Aksu Formation around Erzurum. The biozones Dicarinella asymetrica (uppermost Coniacian–Santonian) and Globotruncanita elevata (lower Campanian) for planktonic foraminifera, and Alievium gallowayi (Santonian) for radiolarians, were recorded. Three radiolarian species (Acanthocircus oculus Soycan n. sp., Parvimitrella cretacea Soycan n. sp., Archaeodictyomitra surmenensis Soycan n. sp.) existed in late Santonian were newly identified.

Synthesis and Structure of <i>m</i>-Terphenyl Thio-, Seleno-, and Telluroethers

Several routes for the synthesis of m-terphenyl thio-, seleno-, and telluroethers were investigated. m-Terphenyl iodides react with diphenyl diselenides or ditellurides (CsOH·H(2)O, DMSO, 110 °C) to give the desired compounds in 19-84% yield which significantly extends the previously reported such reactions because o-benzyne cannot be an intermediate as previously suggested. However, the most general synthetic route was that involving reaction of 2,6-diaryl Grignard reagents with sulfur, selenium, or tellurium electrophiles. The m-terphenyl thio-, seleno-, and telluroethers were characterized spectroscopically and, in one case, by single-crystal X-ray analysis. Certain of these compounds showed atropisomerism and barriers for interconversion of isomers were determined by variable-temperature NMR spectroscopy. The barriers for interconverting the syn and anti atropisomers increase on going from the analogous S to Se to Te compounds. Calculations on this isomerization revealed that the barriers are due to rotation about the aryl-aryl bond and that the barriers for rotation about the aryl-chalcogen bond are much lower.
@ CAPITAL

Esse ensaio desloca as ideias da Pedagogia do oprimido de Paulo Freire para o campo da arquitetura, sob a forma de questionamento à pedagogia que é aplicada até hoje nas Faculdades de arquitetura – que aqui chamarei de Pedagogia da arquitetura bancária – comprometendo-a com a formação dos arquitetos e urbanistas e as decorrentes implicações sociais e questionando como o professor arquiteto tem desempenhado o papel de opressor-oprimido. Costuma-se pensar a Pedagogia do oprimido como uma metodologia que é preferencialmente aplicada aos processos de alfabetização de trabalhadores, esquecendo-se que a pedagogia do oprimido é para todos os âmbitos da educação, para todos e principalmente para os próprios educadores. O artigo @capital é subcapítulo de um texto maior: A arquitetura da pedagogia bancária, onde se desconstrói o sentido da capital através da linguagem, desnudando a palavra capital (cap), e expondo os pré-conceitos e as oposições entre capital x cidades do interior, centro x periferia, Europa e terceiro mundo; estando esses sentidos completamente comprometidos com a questão da pedagogia bancária na arquitetura e urbanismo.
Conceiving the City

Early Bronze Age urbanization and urbanism in the Levant have long been important themes in scholarly discussion, with both the nature of the process and its results being the subject of lively debate. We view Early Bronze II (EB II) south Levantine urbanism as a novel ideological construct grounded in heterarchical modes of social organization, rather than a direct development from earlier village-based lifestyles. In the current study we employ a phenomenological approach that enables us to identify an urban habitus and to discuss cognitive aspects of town life, rather than constraining the discussion to urban morphology. Tel Bet Yerah in northern Israel is a good place to approach these issues, as it presents a continuous, extensively excavated Early Bronze Age sequence. One of the most prominent elements of the EB II fortified city is a system of paved streets that constructed space in a clear geometric pattern. The investment in street planning and engineering, alongside other aspects of planning, no doubt played a key role in the inculcation of urban concepts at the site. As shared public spaces, the streets were experienced and modified through the everyday practices of the town’s inhabitants and visitors. It is the negotiation between planning, ideology and practice that makes the streets of Bet Yerah an exemplary case of the role of architecture in promoting and sustaining a new social order.
Wroclaw centre of excellence

The objective of the proposal is to form Wroclaw Centre of Excellence (WCE), by a close collaboration of Wroclaw University of Technology with National Centre for Research and Development, and German partners - Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology in Dresden and University of Würzburg, renowned science institutions. The vision of WCE includes innovative technology and device development on the state-of-the-art level, as well as economic activities through interactions with established Polish and European companies and the foundation of new spin-off companies. A special focus will be put on new materials, nanophotonics, additive laser-based technologies and new management organisation systems. 
Nanophotonics is chosen because it allows a wide variety of novel devices for e.g. sensing or optoelectronic applications. Developed materials allow for producing new products with novel functionalities, very often only possible with additive manufacturing technologies, including laser-assisted processes. Synergy between the nanophotonics and modern manufacturing technologies provides additional opportunities, e.g. for “smart” parts directly manufactured with embedded nanophotonic sensors.

The objectives of the proposal will be achieved in two stages, first the detailed and robust Business Plan (BP) will be prepared, based on the expertise of all involved partners. In the second stage, the WCE will be established according to this BP.

The Centre will be established in Wroclaw, Poland, eligible for participation in the programme as a low-performing country. The creation of the WCE will significantly enhance the Lower Silesia region in the respective fields of science in order to reach an internationally competitive level in the target areas, reducing research and innovation disparities within the European Union.
Geographical Indications and Designations of Origin linked Agricultural Products: Current Statistics from Turkey

Geographical indications and designation of origins is an industrial property right describing a product originated from any region or attributable to any region due to its quality, reputation or other characteristics. Particularly, the geographical indications (GI) provide information about the raw material or final products’ geographical roots to consumers and characterize the degree of its quality. Two types of GI were defined: Protected Designations of Origin (PDO) and Protected Geographical Indication (PGI). On the other hand, the products that cannot be registered as a designation of origin or geographical indication could be registered as Traditional Speciality Guaranteed (TSG) products specialty guaranteed if it can be proven that the product is on the traditional market for at least 30 years. The main goal of this research is to examine Turkey’s current status about labelled geographic agricultural material with a comparative statistic overview.
