Risky dis/entanglements: Torture and sexual violence in conflict
Authors: Gray Harriet , Stern Maria
Published: March 2019

Conflict-related sexual violence has become increasingly recognized in international spaces as a serious, political form of violence. As part of this process, distinctions between the categories of ‘sexual violence’ and ‘torture’ have blurred as scholars and other actors have sought to capitalize on the globally recognized status of torture in raising the profile of sexual violence. This move, while perhaps strategically promising, even already fruitful, prompts us to heed caution. What might we inadvertently engender by further pursuing such positioning? While torture and sexual violence have both been widely framed within the academic literature as strategic in recent decades, only torture, and not sexual violence, has emerged from elements of this literature as (potentially) legitimate, despite the slippages between them as categories of violence. This article offers one avenue for thinking through what an invigorated focus on sexual torture as a category of violence might unwittingly render possible, and thus for reflecting on the possible stakes of collapsing the categories of sexual violence and torture. Ultimately, we argue that we should perhaps resist the urge to frame sexual violence as torture and instead cleave to the sticky signifier of ‘the sexual’, despite the ways in which it has served to normalize, perpetuate and obfuscate grievous harms throughout history.
Discourse analysis as a tool for uncovering strengths in communicative practices of autistic individuals
Authors: Maciejewska Eliza
Published: March 2019

This article aims to show how discourse analysis can help identify and reinterpret the communicative practices of individuals with autism spectrum disorder, presenting them as co-constructed by the neurotypical interlocutor. The data described in the article come from three interviews with autistic adolescents. The participants completed two tasks: picture description and narrative production. The interviews were further analysed with the use of discourse analysis. The study demonstrates how the participants oriented to the interviewer’s utterances and what communicative strategies they used throughout the interview. Discourse analysis is presented as an approach to the study of autistic communication, which can substantially contribute to the current state of knowledge about autism spectrum disorder, and be an invaluable help for practitioners.

Published: March 2019

The aim of this study was to assess the psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of the Coach–Athlete Relationship Questionnaire (CART-Q) for coaches. Subjects were 173 coaches (20–65 years old) from both sexes, from individual and team sports, ranging from amateur to national level; the instruments were the Coach version of CART-Q translated and adapted to Portuguese and the Athletic Satisfaction Scale adapted for coaches. Data analysis consisted of confirmatory factor analysis, internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha and composite reliability), concurrent validity (Spearman correlation), and temporal stability (intraclass correlation coefficient, ICC). Confirmatory factor analysis revealed a model with 11 items presenting adequate fit (χ2/df = 2.68; comparative fit index = 0.92; goodness-of-fit index = 0.91; Tucker–Lewis index = 0.90; root mean square error of approximation = 0.10) and the existence of a second-order factor (coach–athlete relationship). The scale has shown satisfactory internal consistency (composite reliability > 0.70 and α > 0.70). Concurrent validity assessment presented significant relationships (r > 0.40) with all coach satisfaction variables and temporal stability after 15 days was also adequate (0.65 < ICC < 0.88). It was concluded that the Brazilian version of the CART-Q Coach is adequate to assess coaches' perception regarding the relationship with their athletes.
A retrospective analysis of patients treated with intravesical BCG for high-risk nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer
Authors: Joshua Julie Mariam , Vijayan Meenu , Pooleri Ginil Kumar
Published: March 2019

Background:

Adjuvant intravesical immunotherapy with Bacillus Calmette–Guerin (BCG) is considered as the first-line agent in patients with high-risk nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) after surgery. There are no data in India where there is a high prevalence of tubercle bacillus and inherent immunity against Bacillus sp. The present study aims to evaluate the outcomes of intravesical BCG in the Indian population.

Methods:

A retrospective study of 101 patients who underwent intravesical BCG for high-risk NMIBC between January 2006 and December 2015 was carried out in a single centre. We compared the recurrence-free rate and progression rate of patients who received induction alone and induction with maintenance BCG therapy. The safety profile of intravesical BCG therapy was also assessed in the study.

Results:

After a median follow up of 2 years, the disease-free survival (DFS) rates of the induction group and maintenance group were 82% and 88% respectively ( p = 0.233). There was no difference in progression-free survival (PFS) rates at 2 years in those who receive maintenance BCG (95%) and those with induction BCG (94.7%; p = 0.721). A total of 69.36% of our patients had local adverse events.

Conclusion:

Our results suggest that maintenance therapy does not enhance the therapeutic effects of BCG in patients who respond favourably to 6 weeks of induction. Additional prospective studies are warranted in those countries where tuberculosis exposure is prevalent.
(Ideo)Logical Reasoning: Ideology Impairs Sound Reasoning
Authors: Gampa Anup , Wojcik Sean P. , Motyl Matt , Nosek Brian A. , Ditto Peter H.
Published: March 2019

Beliefs shape how people interpret information and may impair how people engage in logical reasoning. In three studies, we show how ideological beliefs impair people’s ability to (1) recognize logical validity in arguments that oppose their political beliefs and (2) recognize the lack of logical validity in arguments that support their political beliefs. We observed belief bias effects among liberals and conservatives who evaluated the logical soundness of classically structured logical syllogisms supporting liberal or conservative beliefs. Both liberals and conservatives frequently evaluated the logical structure of entire arguments based on the believability of arguments’ conclusions, leading to predictable patterns of logical errors. As a result, liberals were better at identifying flawed arguments supporting conservative beliefs and conservatives were better at identifying flawed arguments supporting liberal beliefs. These findings illuminate one key mechanism for how political beliefs distort people’s abilities to reason about political topics soundly.
Wide Variability in Patient-Reported Outcomes Measures After Fusion for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis: A Systematic Review
Authors: Winebrake James P. , Lovecchio Francis , Steinhaus Michael , Farmer James , Sama Andrew
Published: March 2019

Study Design:

Systematic review.

Objectives:

The purpose of this study is to review outcomes reporting methodology in studies evaluating fusion for lumbar spinal stenosis.

Methods:

A systematic review of PubMed and Embase databases was conducted from January 2007 to June 2017 for English language studies with minimum of 2 years postoperative follow-up reporting outcomes after fusion for lumbar spinal stenosis. Two reviewers assessed each study; those meeting inclusion criteria were examined for pertinent data. Outcome measures were categorized into relevant domains: pain/symptomatology, function/disability, and surgical satisfaction. Return to work reporting was also recorded.

Results:

Of 123 studies meeting inclusion criteria, 76% included posterior-only fusion, 32% included posterior/transforaminal interbody fusion, and 5% included anterior/lateral interbody fusion (non-mutually exclusive). There was significant variation in patient-reported outcomes (PROs) used—studies reported 31 unique PROs assessing at least one domain: 22 evaluating pain, 23 evaluating function, and 3 evaluating surgical satisfaction. Most commonly utilized PROs were the Oswestry Disability Index (73% of studies), Visual Analog Scale (55%), and 36-Item Short Form Survey (32%). The remaining 28 measures were used in 14% of studies or fewer. PROs specific to symptoms of lumbar spinal stenosis, such as the Zurich Claudication Questionnaire, were only used rarely (7/123 studies). Only 14% of studies reported on time to return to work.

Conclusions:

The literature surrounding fusion in the setting of lumbar stenosis is characterized by substantial variability in outcomes reporting. Very few studies utilized measures specific to lumbar spinal stenosis. Efforts to standardize outcomes reporting would facilitate comparisons of surgical interventions.

Knowledge is the pursuit of the wise, and education is but a small step towards that knowledge. So when you see executive education, look at it like a weapon you need to acquire for your armoury as a professional. Executive education in India is still in its infancy and its potential is yet to be realized. As with most designs, it has started with being transitionally significant and will soon progress into being transformationally significant.

With the dynamic shift in the work environment and the constant cycle of obsolescing and becoming relevant, a t-shaped person will be in constant need for up-skilling. In conclusion executive education is here to stay, it is a only a matter of how fast HR professionals and executive education experts crack the code of relevance and ROI.

Published: March 2019

Background

The molecular basis of the incipient stage of speciation is still poorly understood. Cichlid fish species in Lake Victoria are a prime example of recent speciation events and a suitable system to study the adaptation and reproductive isolation of species.

Results

Here, we report the pattern of genomic differentiation between two Lake Victoria cichlid species collected in sympatry,Haplochromis pyrrhocephalusandH.sp. ‘macula,’ based on the pooled genome sequences of 20 individuals of each species. Despite their ecological differences, population genomics analyses demonstrate that the two species are very close to a single panmictic population due to extensive gene flow. However, we identified 21 highly differentiated short genomic regions with fixed nucleotide differences. At least 15 of these regions contained genes with predicted roles in adaptation and reproductive isolation, such as visual adaptation, circadian clock, developmental processes, adaptation to hypoxia, and sexual selection. The nonsynonymous fixed differences in one of these genes,LWS, were reported as substitutions causing shift in absorption spectra of LWS pigments. Fixed differences were found in the promoter regions of four other differentially expressed genes, indicating that these substitutions may alter gene expression levels.

Conclusions

These diverged short genomic regions may have contributed to the differentiation of two ecologically different species. Moreover, the origins of adaptive variants within the differentiated regions predate the geological formation of Lake Victoria; thus Lake Victoria cichlid species diversified via selection on standing genetic variation.

Published: March 2019

PURPOSE

Treatment decisions about localized prostate cancer depend on accurate estimation of the patient’s life expectancy. Current cancer and noncancer survival models use a limited number of predefined variables, which could restrict their predictive capability. We explored a technique to create more comprehensive survival prediction models using insurance claims data from a large administrative data set. These data contain substantial information about medical diagnoses and procedures, and thus may provide a broader reflection of each patient’s health.

METHODS

We identified 57,011 Medicare beneficiaries with localized prostate cancer diagnosed between 2004 and 2009. We constructed separate cancer survival and noncancer survival prediction models using a training data set and assessed performance on a test data set. Potential model inputs included clinical and demographic covariates, and 8,971 distinct insurance claim codes describing comorbid diseases, procedures, surgeries, and diagnostic tests. We used a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator technique to identify predictive variables in the final survival models. Each model’s predictive capacity was compared with existing survival models with a metric of explained randomness (ρ2) ranging from 0 to 1, with 1 indicating an ideal prediction.

RESULTS

Our noncancer survival model included 143 covariates and had improved survival prediction (ρ2 = 0.60) compared with the Charlson comorbidity index (ρ2 = 0.26) and Elixhauser comorbidity index (ρ2 = 0.26). Our cancer-specific survival model included nine covariates, and had similar survival predictions (ρ2 = 0.71) to the Memorial Sloan Kettering prediction model (ρ2 = 0.68).

CONCLUSION

Survival prediction models using high-dimensional variable selection techniques applied to claims data show promise, particularly with noncancer survival prediction. After further validation, these analyses could inform clinical decisions for men with prostate cancer.
Attitudes of Terminally Ill Cancer Patients About Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide: Predominance of Psychosocial Determinants and Beliefs Over Symptom Distress and Subsequent Survival
Authors: Suarez-Almazor Maria E. , Newman Catherine , Hanson John , Bruera Eduardo
Published: March 2019

PURPOSE: Although euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide (PAS) are controversial issues, the views of those most affected, terminal patients, are seldom explored. Our objective was to assess whether the attitudes about euthanasia/PAS of terminally ill cancer patients were determined by their symptomatic distress.

PATIENTS AND METHODS: We conducted a survey of 100 patients with terminal cancer. Statements related to the legalization of euthanasia/PAS were scored using Likert scales. We also asked patients how often they had considered ending their lives. Their responses were analyzed in relation to disease characteristics, including an assessment of symptomatic severity, sociodemographic features, general beliefs about the suffering of cancer patients, and survival.

RESULTS: Most patients (69%) supported euthanasia or PAS for one or more situations. The association between these attitudes and symptoms was weak, consistent in univariate analysis only for shortness of breath. No significant associations were observed with pain, nausea, well-being, loss of appetite, depression, or subsequent survival. Agreement with euthanasia was significantly related to male sex, lack of religious beliefs, and general beliefs about the suffering of cancer patients and their families. In multivariate analysis, the only characteristics that remained statistically associated with support were the strength of religious beliefs and the perception that patients with cancer are a heavy burden on their families. Frequency of suicidal ideation was associated with poor well-being, depression, anxiety, and shortness of breath, but not with other somatic symptoms such as pain, nausea, and loss of appetite.

CONCLUSION: Symptom intensity had limited impact on the attitudes about euthanasia of terminally ill cancer patients. Our findings suggest that patient views are primarily determined by psychosocial traits and beliefs, as opposed to disease severity or symptomatic distress.
Beyond the “Proper Notice”: Frederick Douglass,Uncle Tom’s Cabin, and the Politics of Critical Reprinting
Authors: Gordon Adam
Published: March 2019

This essay takes the critical reception of Uncle Tom’s Cabin in Frederick Douglass’ Paper as an occasion to rethink modern constructions of critical authority while arguing for a print culture approach to literary criticism. Although scholars of antebellum culture typically focus on critical responses that are most readable by twenty-first-century standards (lengthy, signed reviews by readily identifiable critics in prestigious journals), paradoxically the less authoritative liminal critical forms (unsigned, unoriginal criticism circulated as reprinted reviews) displayed the centrality of criticism to nineteenth-century social and political life in the United States. Drawing on an expanded archive of eclectic critical forms, this essay denaturalizes and expands our sense of antebellum critical culture, examining the ways Frederick Douglass exploited the material diversity of contemporary print culture as part of his antislavery strategy, reprinting responses to Harriet Beecher Stowe’s novel in an array of nontraditional critical forms to achieve pragmatic political goals. In so doing, Douglass transformed literary criticism from evaluation and entertainment into a powerful weapon in the war against slavery and the promotion of the interests of African Americans, applications that reaffirm the essay’s claim for the importance of a material approach to critical culture.
Spontaneous lumbar artery rupture and massive retroperitoneal hematoma, successfully treated with arteriographic embolization
Authors: Kim Jin Yong , Lee Song Am , Hwang Jae Joon , Park Jae Bum , Park Sang Woo , Kim Yo Han , Moon Hyeong Ju , Lee WooSurng
Published: March 2019

Background and Objective: Massive retroperitoneal hematoma caused by lumbar artery rupture is generally associated with trauma or retroperitoneal malignancy. However, despite recent advances in technologies and tools, spontaneous lumbar artery rupture is a very rare disease entity but remains a challenging problem because it is frequently associated with significantly high mortality and morbidity and is very difficult to make a correct diagnosis.

Methods: We evaluated the databases of the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trial, Google Scholar, the KoreaMed and the Research Information Sharing Service databases, and a detailed systematic review was performed by searching in PubMed. The initial search was performed on 3 February 2018 and a second search conducted in 29 January 2019.

Results: A total of 10 case reports on massive hemoperitoneum caused by spontaneous lumbar artery rupture were identified. Of the 10 case reports involving 14 patients, eight were male and six were female under 62.71 ± 13.93. Of the 14 patients, 9 (64.3%) surviving with transcatheter arterial embolization, three (21.4%) died of multi-organ failure or hypovolemia, and two (14.3%) had no definite records on survival or death.

Conclusions: A massive retroperitoneal hematoma caused by lumbar artery rupture should be considered in patients with late-onset shock accompanied by blunt abdominal/pelvic trauma. Furthermore, early detection and urgent embolization would prevent further complications and eliminate the need for surgical interventions.

MIST: A multi-resolution parcellation of functional brain networks
Authors: Urchs Sebastian , Armoza Jonathan , Moreau Clara , Benhajali Yassine , St-Aubin Jolène , Orban Pierre , Bellec Pierre
Published: March 2019

The functional architecture of the brain is organized across multiple levels of spatial resolutions, from distributed networks to the localized areas they are made of. A brain parcellation that defines functional nodes at multiple resolutions is required to investigate the functional connectome across these scales. Here we present the Multiresolution Intrinsic Segmentation Template (MIST), a multi-resolution group level parcellation of the cortical, subcortical and cerebellar gray matter. The individual MIST parcellations match other published group parcellations in internal homogeneity and reproducibility and perform very well in real-world application benchmarks. In addition, the MIST parcellations are fully annotated and provide a hierarchical decomposition of functional brain networks across nine resolutions (7 to 444 functional parcels). We hope that the MIST parcellation will accelerate research in brain connectivity across resolutions. Because visualizing multiresolution parcellations is challenging, we provide an interactive web interface to explore the MIST. The MIST is also available through the popular nilearn toolbox.
A seven-year study on the effect of the pre-erythrocytic malaria vaccine candidate RTS,S/AS01E on blood stage immunity in young Kenyan children

Published: March 2019

Background: RTS,S/AS01 E, the most advanced malaria vaccine confers partial immunity. The vaccine-induced pre-erythrocytic immunity reduces exposure to blood-stage parasites, delaying acquisition of antibodies to blood-stage antigens.  However, the duration of this effect is unknown.

Methods: We measured, by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, IgG-antibodies to 4 Plasmodium falciparum blood-stage antigens (AMA1, MSP142, EBA175, and MSP3) on 314 children randomized to receive RTS,S/AS01 E or Rabies vaccine at 5 – 17 months of age in a phase 2b trial in Kenya, and thereafter participated in a 7-year study of the duration of vaccine immunity.

Results: Antibody levels to MSP142, AMA1 and EBA175 were slightly lower among the RTS,S/AS01 E recipients, relative to the Rabies-control vaccinees, during the first 48 months of surveillance. Irrespective of vaccine arm, antibody levels to merozoite antigens were positively associated with the risk for malaria. However, this was only apparent at high levels for EBA175 and AMA1 and was not evident after adjusting for heterogeneity in malaria-exposure. Among children with asymptomatic parasitaemia, antibody levels were associated with reduced clinical malaria.

Conclusions: The reduction in levels of antibodies to blood-stage antigens induced by vaccination with RTS,S/AS01 E can last for several years. In absence of asymptomatic infection, anti-merozoite antibody levels were unreliable correlates of clinical immunity.

Published: March 2019

Gender stereotypes related to physical activity are still present in both primary and secondary education. The educational potential of activities in the natural environment has been highlighted in numerous studies. The objective of this research was to analyze the activities in the natural environment and their linkage according to sex, represented in the textbooks of Physical Education in the stage of Primary School, published in Organic Law 2/2006, of May 3, Of Education. The total of the sample of images in the nature (n = 99), collected in 34 textbooks, belonging to six Spanish publishers were analyzed. For the content analysis of the images, the SAIMEF (Physical Analysis Images Analysis System) tool, elaborated ad hoc, was used. The results showed that the activities in the natural environment (p<0.05) are performed by men, who belong to the age group of the children, who practice mountain sports, namely orienteering, being the terrestrial environment the most used to carry out these activities. In contrast, women, especially girls, performed mountain sports, specifically climbing, being the aquatic medium the most used. It is therefore necessary to reflect the textbooks used in the area of Physical Education to avoid the transmission of gender stereotypes and offer models with which to
identify both personally and socially for both sexes.

Key words: Image; gender; textbooks; physical education, natural environment.

Abstract.

Grain yield, crop evapotranspiration (ETc), basal evapotranspiration (ETb), ETc-yield production functions (ETYPF), and crop water use efficiency (CWUE) response of three drought-tolerant (DT) and one non-drought-tolerant (NDT) maize ( L.) hybrids to two plant population densities (PPDs) [84,000 plants ha-1 (high PPD) and 59,300 plants ha-1 (low PPD)] and three irrigation levels were researched at two semi-arid locations: North Platte (WCREC) and Scottsbluff (MAL), Nebraska, in 2010, 2011, and 2012. The irrigation levels were fully irrigated (FIT), early cutoff (ECOT), and rainfed (RFT). Precipitation in 2010 was above average, 2011 was a normal year, and 2012 was one of the driest and hottest years in Nebraska’s recorded history. Generally, DT hybrids performed better than the NDT hybrid. The performances of the DT hybrids were stronger in the driest year and driest location (MAL), especially with low PPD. ETc exhibited inter-annual variation for the same hybrid in the same location and between the two locations and also with the PPD and irrigation treatments. There were significant differences (P<0.05) between the ETc values for the same hybrids across three irrigation treatments. The grain yield response to hybrids and treatments also exhibited substantial variation for the same hybrid between the PPDs and had inter-annual variation between the years and locations. The greatest grain yields of 14.6 and 18.0 Mg ha-1 were observed with 548 and 837 mm of ETc, which were recorded for the DT hybrid H3 (high PPD) at WCREC and MAL, respectively. There were significant differences (P<0.05) in performance among the DT hybrids in performance variables (ETc, ETb, ETYPF, CWUE). In most cases, the DT hybrids produced greater grain yield than the NDT hybrid with lower ETc. In terms of ETYPF response for individual hybrids, the slope of the production functions exhibited an inter-annual variation between the hybrids and for the same hybrids between the years and location for both high and low PPDs. All hybrids exhibited a linear yield response to increasing ETc in all years at both locations with positive slopes in all cases with DT hybrids having the greatest slopes. The ETb values also exhibited a substantial variation between the hybrids, years, locations, and PPDs. Generally, DT hybrids had sizably lower ETb values than the NDT hybrid in both PPD levels. It was concluded that DT hybrids increase the grain yield production per unit of ETc in semi-arid regions not only during very dry and hot year, but also during the growing season with favorable rainfall and climate conditions. Keywords: Basal evapotranspiration, Drought-tolerance, Maize, Yield production functions.
Prediction of Broadband Noise from Symmetric and Cambered Airfoils
Authors: BHARGAVA Vasishta
Published: March 2019

Aerodynamic sound generation and self-noise mechanisms from lifting surfaces such as airfoil involve the fields of classical acoustics and fluid mechanics. In this paper, trailing edge noise production is evaluated using empirical model for NACA 0012 and NACA 6320 airfoils. The sound pressure levels from trailing edge surface are calculated for different flow configurations. The growth of boundary layer thickness and displacement thickness, for different chord lengths and Mach numbers with varying angles of attack, is illustrated for NACA 0012. The sound pressure levels were computed numerically between 00 to 60 angles of attack and at constant chord length of 1.2m using Brookes Pope Marcolini method. The results showed a change of ~2-5dB in peak amplitude for mid frequencies region of spectrum. The effects of varying chord length and Mach number on sound pressure levels are illustrated for both airfoils. The relative velocity field for airfoils was computed using the boundary element method. The combined effect of thickness and camber on sound power level is demonstrated at a 40 angle of attack and for a Mach number of 0.191. Validation of sound pressure levels is done based on the results obtained for NACA0012 for similar flow conditions.

La evaluación de la competencia “trabajo en equipo” de los estudiantes universitarios
Authors: París Mañas Georgina , Mas Torelló Oscar , Torrelles Nadal Cristina
Published: March 2019

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo evaluar la competencia de trabajo en equipo de los estudiantes universitarios, para detectar sus potencialidades y debilidades. Para ello se ha contactado con 180 estudiantes procedentes de diferentes grados universitarios configurando así una muestra de carácter no probabilístico. El proceso metodológico de ésta investigación consiste en una autoevaluación y una coevaluación entre los miembros pertenecientes a un mismo equipo de trabajo y el instrumento de recogida de los datos es la Rúbrica RUTE-Rúbrica de Trabajo en Equipo. Esta evaluación multiactores tiene una doble aplicación: por un lado, se evalúa al sujeto a partir de la información proporcionada por  los compañeros del equipo, este proceso es conocido como coevaluación; y por otro lado, es el propio sujeto quien se autoevalúa su competencia de trabajo en equipo, conocido éste como la autoevaluación. Los resultados muestran que los estudiantes universitarios destacan por su implicación en los logros del equipo, por la sensación de pertenencia dentro del equipo y su capacidad para anticiparse a los problemas y encontrar una solución de consenso. No obstante, otras dimensiones de la competencia como la coordinación entre todos los miembros, la flexibilidad, la adaptabilidad y la participación son elementes para mejorar.

Tanto en América Latina como en Argentina, la bibliografía centrada en el estudio del extractivismo ha crecido de forma sorprendente en los últimos años. Lo mismo ha ocurrido con la bibliografía que indaga el turismo rural desde visiones críticas. Si bien algunos autores ubican al turismo de lujo dentro de las actividades productivas “emblemas del extractivismo”, los trabajos que indagan estas relaciones no son abundantes.En base a un estudio de caso sobre territorios rurales de Mendoza (Argentina) crecientemente volcados a la producción de vinos de alta gama, este trabajo indaga emprendimientos de turismo de lujo con el respaldo teórico de los desarrollos vinculados al extractivismo. Se busca cotejar los alcances de este aparato conceptual para contener el análisis del turismo de lujo en territorios rurales de Argentina y comprender las particularidades que asumen los procesos de territorialización del capital articulados a este tipo específico de turismo.
Histopathological Features of Drug-Induced Liver Injury Secondary to Osimertinib
Authors: González Iván , Chatterjee Deyali
Published: March 2019

In the past few years, a better understanding of the genomic alterations in lung cancer has facilitated a targeted therapy. Lung adenocarcinomas with epidermal growth factor receptor mutations have a good response to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Osimertinib is a third-generation TKI approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Drug-induced liver injury is a well-known adverse effect of TKIs as a group and reported to show an autoimmune hepatitis-like picture. However, little is known about the histopathologic changes with osimertinib. We present a case of drug-induced liver injury secondary to osimertinib and discuss the histopathologic findings.

Published: March 2019

The activity of textile sector and textile product (TPT) in Indonesia keeps growing from year to year.TPTIndustry has become the main contributor of foreign exchange from non-oil and gas sector. Unfortunately, the domestic supply of cotton fiber, main material of textile product, can’t fulfill textile industry’s demand. It forces the nation to import the raw materials. Based on the problem about the import that still exist until the present, it is necessary to do a research to analyze the development of cotton fiber import in Indonesia and to identify the factors affecting the development of Indonesian cotton fiber imports during 1975-2014. This research uses descriptive analysis and inference analysis. The descriptive analysis method used in this research is graphical analysis, while the inference analysis is Error Correction Mechanism (ECM) method. Based on the estimation made with ECM, it was found that 5 variables significantly affect the cotton import volume in the long term, including: real per capita Gross Domectic Product (GDP), international cotton fiber prices, domestic cotton fiber production, the demand of cotton fiber by domestic yarn spinning industry and textile product exports volume. While in short term, only 4 variables significantly affect thecotton fiber import volume: domestic cotton fiber production,the demand of cotton fiber by domestic yarn spinning industry, real per capita GDP and textile product exports volume. Keywords: import, cotton fiber, Textile Industry and Textile Product (TPT),Error Correction Mechanism (ECM).

RANCANG BANGUN SISTEM ANTREAN MULTI FUNGSI DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN CREDIT CARD-SIZED COMPUTER UNTUK PENDAFTARAN MAHASISWA BARU
Authors: Mufreni Sadr Lufti
Published: March 2019

Universitas ‘Aisyiyah Yogyakarta menerima mahasiswa baru setiap tahun. Jumlah mahasiswa baru mengalami peningkatan dari tahun ke tahun. Pada tahun 2017 mahasiswa yang mendaftar berjumlah 18.000 dengan jumlah yang diterima sebesar 1829. Melihat pendaftar yang banyak diperlukan sistem informasi antrean yang mumpuni. Selain mumpuni, sistem dapat dimodifikasi untuk keperluan antrean kegiatan lainnya. Karena rancang bangun perangkat lunak sistem ini dibuat pertama kali maka pemilihan metode waterfall model sebagai software process model sangat tepat. Di samping metode yang tepat, penggunaan bahasa analisa Unified Modeling Language(UML) sebagai bahasa analisa standar membantu dalam pembuatan dokumentasi, spesifikasi, dan analisa sistem. Penelitian sistem antrean yang sudah ada menggunakan komputer dan beberapa perangkat tambahan. Perangkat tambahan diperlukan untuk menghubungkan antara komputer dengan tombol-tombol pada mesin antrean. Untuk mengurangi biaya, teknologi Raspberry Pi dipilih karena mempunyai kemampuan dasar layaknya komputer pribadi ditambah fasilitas general input output pin. Komputer mini seukuran kartu kredit, Raspberry Pi, harganya relatif lebih murah daripada komputer pribadi dan adanya tambahan fasilitas pin diharapkan biaya yang diperlukan dapat ditekan. Hasil penelitian ini diharapkan dapat membantu proses penerimaan mahasiswa baru sehingga pihak Universitas dapat memberikan layanan yang prima untuk calon mahasiswanya. Selain itu biaya pengadaan komputer untuk sistem antrean dapat ditekan seminimal mungkin. Dengan sedikit modifikasi, hasil rancang bangun sistem dapat digunakan untuk kegiatan antrean lainnya seperti sistem antrean pendaftaran pasien di rumah sakit. Diharapkan dengan kemudahan modifikasi, penelitian ini bisa dijadikan langkah pertama untuk pembuatan Sistem Informasi Kesehatan yang ingin diwujudkan oleh Universitas ‘Aisyiyah Yogyakarta.
"A Body Without a Head". The Elite of the Muslim Minority in the Bulgarian Lands at the Turn of the 20th Century
Authors: Popek Krzysztof
Published: March 2019

Ciało bez głowy”. Elita mniejszości muzułmańskiej na ziemiach bułgarskich na przełomie XIX i XX wieku Wojna rosyjsko-turecka lat 1877–1878 zakończyła panowanie osmańskie na ziemiach bułgarskich, co równocześnie doprowadziło do wielkiej emigracji ludności muzułmańskiej. Osmańskie elity jako pierwsze opuściły odrodzoną Bułgarię. Urzędnicy, hodżowie, imamowie, oficerzy, posiadacze ziemscy, mieszczanie oraz inteligenci wyjeżdżali do Imperium Osmańskiego w obawie przed rozliczeniami za powiązaniami z dawnymi władzami. Następnie, po zjednoczeniu Księstwa Bułgarii i Rumelii Wschodniej w 1885 roku, doszło do nowej fali migracyjnej muzułmańskich urzędników, działaczy lokalnych oraz oficerów milicji z ziem Bułgarii południowej. W okresie 1879–1949, w 80% muzułmanie w Bułgarii byli drobnymi chłopami, 19% żyli w miastach i pracowali jako rzemieślnicy, jedynie 1% miał szanse zrobić karierę. Artykuł skupia się na trzech grupach elity mniejszości muzułmańskiej w Bułgarii, co koresponduje z tradycyjnym podziałem elit: polityczna (mufti), ekonomiczna (posiadacze ziemscy, kupcy, przedsiębiorcy) oraz intelektualna (nauczyciele – hodżowie).

Communicology from the ‘portals’ perspective: a summative-schematic view
Authors: Puppel Stanisław
Published: March 2019

Communicology as a universal design is shown here as a phenomenon/process which can be accessed from a number of ‘portals’. Communicology as a design is defined as pluripotent and composed of five sphere-shaped components which contain universal and specific content. The content is assumed to embrace the totality of human communicative practices. The exposition of the content of the paper is presented in the form of summative schematics.
New Media in image-making. How have emerging communications transformed the political process?
Authors: Urbaniak Artur
Published: March 2019

The purpose of this article is to provide a theoretical framework for the contemporary process of political communication. It emphasizes the changing roles of the senders/receivers within the process and it postulates unprecedented opportunities offered by the emergence of the New Media. As for the empirical research, we discuss the results of the study that has been conducted to further the understanding of how the younger generation, aged 20-25 (herein referred to as Digital Natives), process and comprehend the news media content, with special attention to political messages. It was initially hypothesized that the main source of information about politics and the surrounding world is the Internet and the social media in particular. The paper discusses the results of the study showing that the alternative news websites and social media, understood as the opposite to what is known as the mainstream media, have been gaining ground. Concurrently, the study discovered the students’ declining interest in traditional institutional mainstream-controlled media (i.e. press, radio or television).
