Plasma sICAM-1 correlates with tumor volume before primary radiochemotherapy of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients
Authors: Clasen Kerstin , Welz Stefan , Faltin Heidrun , Zips Daniel , Eckert Franziska
Published: December 2022

Background

Biomarkers are of major interest to optimize diagnosis, prognosis and to guide treatment in head and neck cancer patients. Especially blood-based biomarkers appear promising as they can be easily collected and repeatedly analyzed during the course of radiochemotherapy.

Patients and methods

At first, for a broad overview, multiple immune markers were evaluated in six plasma samples of three head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients at the beginning and the end of radio-chemotherapy. In this pre-selection, the soluble Intercellular Adhesion Molecule 1 (sICAM-1) appeared most promising. Thus, this marker was measured in multiple samples (n = 86) during treatment and follow-up in a cohort of eleven patients and correlated with tumor features and clinical data.

Results

We found a strong correlation between the initial levels of sICAM-1 in the plasma and the gross tumor volumes of the primary tumor and the involved lymph nodes. However, during the course of treatment no systematic dynamics could be identified. Toxicity or infections did not seem to influence sICAM-1 concentrations.

Conclusions

sICAM-1 appears to reflect the pre-treatment total tumor burden (primary tumor and involved lymph nodes) in head and neck tumor patients. However, it does not seem to be a dynamic marker reflecting response during radiochemotherapy. Thus, if our findings are confirmed in future, sICAM-1 could be used as a staging marker: if high sICAM-1 levels but low tumor burden are found it might be reasonable to intensify staging investigations to rule out further, yet undetected, tumor sites.

The genre of music is a grouping of music according to their resemblance to one another and commonly used to organize digital music. To classify music into certain genres, one can do it by listening to the music one by one manually, which will take a long time so that automatic genre assignment is needed which can be done by a number of methods, one of which is the Modified K-Nearest Neighbor. Modified K-Nearest Neighbor method is a further development of its former method called KNearest Neighbor method which adds several additional processes such as validity calculations and weight calculations to provide more information in the selection class for the testing data. Research to find the best H value shows that the H = 70% of the training data is able to produce an accuracy of 54.100% with K = 5 and the proportion ratio of test data and training data is 20:80 (fold 5). The best H value is then used for further testing, which is to compare the K-Nearest Neighbor method with the Modified K-Nearest Neighbor method using two different proportions of test data and training data and each proportion of data also tests a different K value. The results of the classification comparison of the two methods show that the Modified K-Nearest Neighbor method, with the highest accuracy of 55.300% is superior to the K-Nearest Neighbor method with the highest accuracy of 53.300%. The two highest accuracies produced in each method were obtained using K = 5 and the proportion ratio of test data and training data is 10:90 (fold 10).

Published: December 2022

Today, corruption, in accordance with the Economic Security Strategy of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030, is considered as one of the key internal threats to the economic security of the country. However, practice shows that it not only destroys the mechanism of state administration from within, but is increasingly being used by the West to exert pressure and induce certain Russian officials who have illegal assets abroad to engage in illegal cooperation. In this regard, the creation and development of effective mechanisms to counter illegal enrichment of officials will help to undermine the economic foundations of corruption. The work uses dialectical and comparative legal methods, a systematic approach, tabular interpretation of empirical and factual information. The article explores the genesis of the legal institution of responsibility for illicit enrichment, foreign experience of its regulatory consolidation. Analyzed attempts to criminalize illicit enrichment in Russia. The positions of domestic scientists regarding the expediency of its criminalization at the present stage of development of the Russian legal system are considered. The authors' approach is proposed to fix in the criminal law of Russia responsibility for illegal enrichment of officials. The authors come to the conclusion that a characteristic feature and the ultimate goal of all corruption offenses is the focus on obtaining benefits (illicit enrichment). Illegal enrichment of officials is a serious threat to the economic security of the Russian Federation. In this regard, the criminal law of Russia should provide for liability for the acquisition by an official of the ownership or use of assets, the value of which significantly exceeds the legal income of this person and his wife (spouse), as well as for the acquisition of such assets in the interests of third parties.
Tightly-Twisted One-Handed Helical Tubular Ladder Polymers with π-Electron-Rich Cylindrical Helical Cavities for Chromatographic Enantioseparation
Authors: Zheng Wei , Oki Kosuke , Saha Ranajit , Hijikata Yuh , Yashima Eiji , Ikai Tomoyuki
Published: December 2022

Defect-free one-handed contracted helical tubular ladder polymers with a π-electron-rich cylindrical helical cavity were synthesized by alkyne benzannulations of the random-coil precursor polymers containing 6,6´-linked-1,1´-spirobiindane-7,7´-diol-based chiral monomer units. The resulting tightly-twisted helical tubular ladder polymers showed remarkably high enantioseparation abilities toward a variety of chiral hydrophobic aromatics with point, axial, and planar chiralities. The random-coil precursor polymer and analogous rigid-rod extended helical ribbon-like ladder polymer with no internal helical cavity exhibited no resolution abilities. The molecular dynamics simulations suggested that the π-electron-rich cylindrical helical cavity formed in the tightly-twisted tubular helical ladder structures is of key importance for producing the highly-enantioseparation ability, by which chiral aromatics can be enantioselectively encapsulated by specific π–π and/or hydrophobic interactions.

Authors: Shandilya Ekta , Maiti Subhabrata
Published: December 2022

Directional interactions and assembly of nanobioconjugate in clusters at specific location are important for patterning, microarrays to biomedical research. Herein, we report self-assembly and spatial control in surface patterning of the surfactant-functionalized nanoparticles can be governed in macroscale environment by two factors – synergistic enzyme-substrate-nanoparticle affinity and phoretic effect. Firstly, we showed aggregation of cationic gold nanoparticle (GNP) can be modulated by multivalent anionic nanoparticle binding adenosine-based nucleotide and enzyme, alkaline phosphatase. We further demonstrated two different types of their autonomous aggregation pattern – (i) by introducing enzyme gradient which modulates the synergistic non-equilibrium interactivity of the nanoparticle, nucleotide and enzyme in macroscale and (ii) surface deposition pattern from evaporating droplet via coffee ring effect. Finally, we showed change in capillary phoresis parameters responsible for coffee ring due to introduction of ATP-loaded GNP in blood serum, showing immense applicability in low-cost disease diagnostics. Overall, a unique method for macroscale surface nanobiopatterning has been demonstrated having potential application in controlled large area patterning with diverse cascade catalytic surface and spatiotemporal multisensory-based application.
STATUS HUKUM KEPERDATAAN BAYI TABUNG DAN HUBUNGAN NASABNYA DITINJAU DARI HUKUM ISLAM DAN KITAB UNDANG-UNDANG HUKUM PERDATA

Published: December 2022

Bayi tabung merupakan sebuah keberhasilan dari kerjasama antara pakar kedokteran dan pakar farmasi, dimana mereka mengawinkan sperma dan ovum di luar rahim dalam sebuah tabung yang sudah dipersiapkan. Setelah terjadi pembuahan, barulah di tempatkan ke dalam rahim seorang wanita. Yang menjadi masalah dalam hal ini adalah nasab bayi yang dilahirkan  melalui  proses  teknik  bayi  tabung  tersebut  sehingga  hal  tersebut  memicu timbulnya masalah   yang pelik di mata hukum Islam dan Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Perdata. Rumusan masalah dalam penelitian ini adalah bagaimana status hukum keperdataan bayi tabung dan hubungan nasabnya ditinjau dari Hukum Islam dan Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Perdata dan  bagaimana implementasi aturan hukum mengenai teknologi bayi tabung di Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan jenis penelitian yuridis normatif, spesifikasi penelitian deskriptif analitis, dan metode analasis data yaitu dengan menyederhanakan data ke dalam bentuk yang lebih mudah dibaca dan dipahami serta dimengerti. Hasil penelitian dalam hukum Islam memandang bahwa anak yang lahir dari bayi tabung hukumnya adalah anak sah jika benih yang digunakan dari orang tuanya yang terikat perkawianan yang sah. Sedangkan dalam KUHPerdata belum ada hukum yang mengaturnya, sehingga status hukum keperdataan  bayi  tabung  masih  belum  jelas.  Dalam  hukum  positif  di  Indonesia  hanya mengatur  mengenai  proses  bayi  tabung  belum  mengatur  mengenai  nasab  anak  yang dilahirkan melalui proses teknik bayi tabung.

The relationship between formalization of HRM function and HRM intensity in SMEs: An empirical investigation in Sri Lanka
Authors: Wickramasinghe Vathsala
Published: December 2022

Human resource management (HRM) intensity is important for any type of business in which human resources play a vital role. However, little is known about HRM intensity in the context of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the formalization of HRM function and HRM intensity. The sample of the study consists of medium-sized enterprises operating in Sri Lanka. The results show that although the formalization of HRM function is low, HRM intensity is high. The findings also show that higher levels of formalization lead to a greater intensity in HRM practices.

Published: December 2022

Although the nature of science (NOS) is recognized worldwide as an important aspect of promoting the understanding of science subjects in schools but very little research has been conducted in this regard in the Rwandan context. This study investigates the status of Rwandan senior secondary physics students’ views on NOS aspects. The instrument for data collection in this study is made up of 30 items adapted from “Views of Nature of Science-B”; “Student Understanding of Science and Scientific Inquiry (SUSSI)”; and “Views of Nature of Science-C (VNOS-C)”. After establishing the reliability of the instrument, we administered this questionnaire to 148 senior secondary physics students from four schools (i.e. randomly selected two boarding schools and two day schools) from Kicukiro and Kayonza districts. Frequency, mean, and standard deviation were calculated, and a t-test was used as part of the data analysis. The findings of this study indicate that many of the students have strongly held and naïve views about all targeted NOS aspects. The naïve views are predominantly related to the tentative nature of science; empiricism; the relationship between scientific theories and laws; social contexts in knowledge construction; and scientific methods, compared to other remaining targeted NOS aspects which are observation and inferences; and imagination and creativity. The study revealed that, overall, students’ understanding of NOS is not influenced by gender or school location. However, a more detailed look shows slight variations between male and female students on some items.
Exploring ethical challenges in Singapore physiotherapy practice: Implications for ethics education
Authors: Lim Audrey , Xafis Vicki , Delany Clare
Published: December 2022

Introduction: Workplace contexts, including political and sociocultural systems influence health professions’ perception and experience of ethical issues. Although established health ethics principles are relevant guiding values, they may be experienced and interpreted differently within different health contexts. How should ethics education account for this? This paper presents ethical dilemmas and concerns encountered by physiotherapists practicing in Singapore and discusses the implications for ethics education. Methods: Qualitative methods informed by interpretivism and phenomenology were employed. In-depth interviews with 42 physiotherapists from different workplace settings in Singapore were conducted. Participants described everyday ethical challenges they encountered. Inductive content analysis was used to analyse the interview transcript data. Results: Ethical issues occurred within and across three spheres of ethics: micro, meso and macro. Ethical issues at the micro sphere centered around physiotherapist-patient relationships, interactions with colleagues, and therapists’ feelings of moral distress. In the meso sphere, ethical challenges related to influences arising from the organizational resources or systems. In the macro sphere, ethical challenges developed or were influenced by sociocultural, religious, economic, and political factors. Conclusion: The findings reflect current literature indicating that context can influence ethical situations, as experienced and perceived by physiotherapists in their unique settings. Such empirical data might inform the development of ethics curricula to ensure that universal ethical principles are situated within the realities of clinical practice. Locally relevant and realistic ethical case studies will better enable students to recognise and address these situations.

As a result of this study, some markers reflecting the level of body resistance and microecological disorder of the digestive tract of newborns according to the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the microbiota of the oral cavity were identified. The study determined the bacterial and viral components, including representatives of the herpesvirus family (Epstein-Barr virus, herpes type 6, herpes simplex types 1 and 2) in combination with indicators of local immune resistance in the oral fluid in 173 newborns of I-II health groups. Determination of both herpesviruses in oral fluid of newborns and opportunistic bacterial microflora reflects the lack of general and local immune resistance. It makes it posible to classify such children as a risk group for the development of infectious pathology, in need for prescription of corrective and preventive measures.

A crescente participação do idoso na população assim como na força de trabalho tem levado à realização de estudos e pesquisas com vistas à importante necessidade de elaboração de políticas públicas para esse segmento. A combinação da elevada esperança de vida ao nascer, com a redução na taxa de fecundidade, resultou no envelhecimento progressivo do indivíduo e aumento da participação desta faixa etária no total da população. O conhecimento da situação socioeconômica é importante no estudo da velhice, no sentido de criar oportunidades e eliminar preconceitos contra este segmento da sociedade. Para tanto, se faz necessário, primordialmente apresentar a conceituação sobre a
faixa etária considerada. Segundo a definição da Organização Nacional das Nações Unidas para países em desenvolvimento, são consideradas idosas as pessoas com 60 anos ou mais de idade, faixa também acatada no Brasil - Estatuto do Idoso (Presidência da República,
2003) e escolhida para esse estudo. Elaborado com base nos dados da Pesquisa Distrital por Amostra de Domicílios PDAD/DF-2011), pesquisa realizada nas 30 regiões administrativas do DF, a Codeplan apresenta o “Perfil dos Idosos no Distrito Federal segundo as Regiões Administrativas”

Published: December 2022

Um estilo de vida não saudável e fatores decorrentes deste, como níveis pressóricos elevados, altos níveis de colesterol e excesso de peso, são a causa primária de diversas doenças crônicas e mortalidade precoce no Brasil e no mundo. Os baixos níveis de atividade física, o hábito de fumar, o consumo excessivo de álcool e uma dieta não saudável compreendem os principais comportamentos de risco à saúde que estão relacionados às altas prevalências de doenças crônicas não transmissíveis, como diabetes tipo II, doenças cardiovasculares, respiratórias e alguns tipos de câncer. Mesmo sabendo que as múltiplas causas são importantes para o desenvolvimento de DCNT, estudos sobre a exposição simultânea desses fatores em um mesmo indivíduo são menos frequentes. Ao considerar que a ocorrência simultânea de comportamentos de risco eleva a chance de desenvolvimento das condições negativas de saúde. Evidências sugerem que a simultaneidade de diferentes comportamentos de risco possui efeito sinérgico na deterioração da saúde individual.

The article at hand deals with students’ procedural knowledge, the frequency of technology use (CAS, graphics calculators) during mathematics education in upper secondary level and their self-assessed technology knowledge. In this study, the participating students (representative sample of Austrian high school students in the final year, n=455) had to solve procedural, curriculum-related tasks without any aids (neither technology nor formula booklets). We examined how the frequency of technology use in the classroom affects the students’ success rate on procedural tasks. On average, GeoGebra or graphic calculators with CAS are used once a week by the teacher and the students in class, respectively, and unexpectedly, there is no significant correlation between the frequency of technology use during mathematics education in upper secondary level and the procedural knowledge acquired. Regardless of the success in solving the procedural tasks, the students rate their technology knowledge for solving the procedural tasks as rather high.

Introducción: la tuberculosis es considerada como un problema de salud pública a nivel mundial, siendo la decimotercera causa de muerte y la enfermedad infecciosa más mortífera detrás del COVID-19 y por encima de la infección por VIH, llegando a un total de 1.5 millones de muertes en el 2020. Colombia es el quinto país de la región con mayor carga de casos de tuberculosis, reportándose en el Programa Nacional de Tuberculosis un total de 13.037 casos preliminares en el 2020, representando una importante carga para el Sistema General de Seguridad Social en Salud.
Material y métodos: se realizó un estudio observacional de corte retrospectivo con una población de 130 pacientes con diagnóstico de tuberculosis en una institución de tercer nivel en la ciudad de Bogotá, con el fin de identificar posibles factores de riesgo asociados al desarrollo de complicaciones en estos pacientes.
Resultados y discusión: en el grupo total encontramos que la presencia de desnutrición es un factor de riesgo independiente para presentar complicaciones asociadas a la infección por tuberculosis; mediante análisis de regresión condicionada por método exacto se identifica un HR de 2.53 [1.008;6.378] (p 0.002) y HR ajustado de 1.47 [0.400-2.556] (p 0.007). El resto de condiciones no presentaron asociación estadísticamente significativa con el desarrollo de complicaciones en pacientes con diagnóstico de tuberculosis.
Conclusiones: en los pacientes con diagnóstico de tuberculosis que asistieron al hospital Santa Clara entre 2017 y 2018, encontramos que un estado nutricional inadecuado tuvo una asociación significativa a la presencia de complicaciones relacionadas con infección por tuberculosis. Otros factores como el nivel de educación, estrato socioeconómico o la presencia de comorbilidades no demostraron una influencia significativa en el objetivo del estudio.

Introducción. El embalaje y transporte de estupefacientes dentro del organismo, o body packing, es una práctica frecuente en Centroamérica y el Caribe. Además del riesgo de muerte por la exposición a las sustancias tóxicas, existe el riesgo de complicaciones mecánicas con indicación de manejo quirúrgico. El Hospital de Engativá, por su cercanía al aeropuerto de Bogotá, D.C., Colombia, es el centro de referencia para el tratamiento de estos pacientes.
Caso clínico. Un hombre de 65 años traído al hospital por un episodio emético con expulsión de cuatro cápsulas para el transporte de estupefacientes. Al examen físico se encontraron masas palpables en el hemiabdomen superior, sin abdomen agudo. La tomografía de abdomen informó un síndrome pilórico secundario a retención gástrica de cuerpos extraños. Fue llevado a laparotomía y gastrotomía logrando la extracción de 97 objetos cilíndricos de látex que contenían sustancias ilícitas.
Discusión. En los body packer asintomáticos, la administración de soluciones laxantes es una estrategia terapéutica segura. Los casos reportados de obstrucción gastrointestinal son infrecuentes y se relacionan con la ingesta de un gran número de cápsulas, por lo que es necesario el tratamiento quirúrgico.
Conclusión. El síndrome pilórico es una presentación infrecuente en un body packer. Se debe tener un alto índice de sospecha para garantizar un manejo oportuno.
Insecticidal Effects of Some Bacillus thuringiensis Commercial Biopreparats on the Larvae of the Tomato Leaf Miner, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick, 1917) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae)
Authors: BAYINDIR EROL Alime , ERDOĞAN Oktay
Published: December 2022

Effects of 5 commercial biopreparats named; Dacron®, Florbac®, Dipel®, Delfin® and Rebound® containing different Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) strains on the 3rd instar larvae of the tomato leaf miner, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick, 1917) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) were determined under laboratory conditions. T. absoluta, tomato (Gusto F1) variety and some commercial biopreparats were used as materials in the study. Production of T. absoluta larvae were performed under the conditions of the growth chambers where the tomato variety was grown (25±1°C, 60±5% RH and 16:8 photoperiod). Under laboratory conditions, 1, 3 and 5% concentrations of commercial biopreparats were applied on the 3rd instar larvae of the pest, and the experiment was carried out with 5 replications according to a randomized parcels design. As a result of the application of 1% IU/mg concentrations of Dacron® and Delfin® commercial biopreparats, 100% mortality rate was determined in the 3rd instar larvae of T. absoluta on the 7th day counts. When 3 and 5% IU/mg concentrations of all commercial biopreparats were applied, a mortality rate of 100% was recorded on the 3rd instar larvae of T. absoluta on the 5th and 7th day counts. In-vitro, as the concentration of commercial biopreparats increased, mortality rate of the 3rd instar larvae of T. absoluta increased. However, it would be appropriate to conduct field trials with the same commercial biopreparats to recommend their use of them commercially.

Who Are We, And What Is the Nature of Reality? Scientists’ Spiritually Transformative Experiences
Authors: Tressoldi Patrizio , Woollacott Marjorie
Published: December 2022

Objective: To analyze the first-person phenomenological Spiritually Transformative Experiences (STEs) of a sample of scientists and academics.Methods: The first-person phenomenological accounts of 40 scientists’ and/or academics’ Spiritual Transformative Experiences, were analyzed with respect to their perceived changes in the nature of the personal self and the nature of reality. Results: Eighty-five percent of experiencers described a dissolution of the boundaries of their personal self; this was experienced by 62.5% as a sense of boundless oneness, with the characteristics of pure unconditional love (45%). As to the nature of reality, 60% also experienced reality as unitive, and 47.5% of the experiencers described its essence as unconditional love, bliss, and luminosity (27.5%), with some describing it as filled with energy, intelligence and beyond time. Discussion: For all individuals, the experiences were considered truly real. For those who have not had similar experiences, their ontological status remains an empirical question.
Transverse myelitis after Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine: illustrative case
Authors: Mathew Ezek , Williamson Julie , Mamo Lois , Dickerman Rob
Published: December 2022

BACKGROUND

Transverse myelitis is a rare neurological occurrence with varied presentation. Imaging is necessary to properly diagnose this condition; however, identifying the cause of this condition may often be difficult.

OBSERVATIONS

An otherwise healthy patient presented to the clinic with peculiar neurological symptoms without an obvious underlying cause. Imaging evidenced no significant structural defects but did lead to discovery of cord enhancement compatible with a diagnosis of transverse myelitis. Corticosteroid treatment was initiated rapidly to address this pathology, and the patient recovered without deficits. To identify the underlying cause, patient medical history was reviewed thoroughly and compared with existing literature. Previous tuberculosis infection could be a less likely cause of the neurological symptoms. However, recent vaccination with the Johnson & Johnson coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine could be a more likely cause of the transverse myelitis, which has been rarely reported.

LESSONS

Transverse myelitis after COVID-19 infection has been an escalating phenomenon. However, transverse myelitis after COVID-19 vaccination is a rare occurrence that is also on the rise. Given the increased rates of vaccination, transverse myelitis should not be overlooked as a potential pathology, due to the severity of neurological impairment if this condition is not treated rapidly.
