Departures: An Introduction to Critical Refugee Studies by the Critical Refugee Studies Collective (A Book Review)
Authors: Traina Giacomo
Published: January 2023

Departures is the introductory volume to the interdisciplinary field of Critical Refugee Studies, written by the Critical Refugee Studies Collective and published by the University of California Press. The book works on many levels and can be read in as many ways. Partly a guide, partly a manifesto, the book dutifully performs its pre-set task of introducing the general reader to the field of Critical Refugee Studies, all the while engaging with larger issues and challenges. Its manifold nature is made explicit by the title itself, intended both as an allusion to the action of leaving and to that of deviating from a regular path. Highly readable and sharp-edged, tailor-made for an audience that includes (and transcends) colleges and universities, this text will likely find its way into many class syllabi and reading lists. Located at the crossroads of theory and resistance, advocacy and academia, Departures oozes rage, energy, and optimism, and is unapologetically political.

The field of Critical Refugee Studies, the authors state in the “Introduction,” is “a way to seize control of image and narrative, by and for refugees, centered in refugee epistemologies and experiences." As a community-engaged critical field, it postulates the necessity of moving past pre-existing humanitarian narratives and frameworks, exposing the underlying threads that tie militarism and migration, power and memory, empire and race. Channeling Somali British and Palestinian poetry, Syrian visual art, and Vietnamese American independent cinematography, the seven contributors call for new methodologies and approaches, as well as for new stories that go beyond the simple “formula of … escape, despair, and rescue” embedded in mainstream refugee narratives. The book's aim is to break that mold, underscoring the “invisible relations of power that broker how we see and consume the refugee subject”; that is to say, to radically twist the ways in which the latter is defined by the law, by the arts, and by the collective conscious. Bold and provocative, Departures will not fail to spark conversations in the coming years.
„Wiek XIX jakby przeciekł nam przez palce”. Rozmowa z Janem Maszczyszynem
Authors: Maszczyszyn Jan , Zielonka Konrad Kamil
Published: January 2023

Celem rozmowy jest przybliżenie czytelnikom postaci Jana Maszczyszyna, pisarza polskiego pochodzenia mieszkającego w Australii, a także prezentacja jego sztandarowego dzieła: Trylogii Solarnej. Pierwsza część rozmowy dotyczy doświadczeń czytelniczych i pisarskich autora, a także zawiera krótką charakterystykę steampunku – konwencji, w której Maszczyszyn tworzy. Poruszony tutaj został temat retrofuturystyki, wiążący się z nostalgicznymi i melancholijnymi sposobami rozważań o XIX wieku. Druga część rozmowy została poświęcona Trylogii Solarnej i niektórym jej wątkom. Pisarz opowiada o źródłach, z których czerpał wiedzę niezbędną do kreacji uniwersum, a także samego sposobu jego tworzenia. Autor opowiada również o teoriach naukowych, które stały się inspiracją do stworzenia uniwersum Trylogii…, oraz o powiązanych z tym tematem sposobach naukowej interpretacji świata.
Czas snu i rzeczywistość duchowa. Aborygeńska koncepcja wszechświata i naukowość w Trylogii Solarnej Jana Maszczyszyna
Authors: Zielonka Konrad
Published: January 2023

Trylogia Solarna Jana Maszczyszyna jest steampunkową sagą, łączącą retrospektywny charakter wyobrażeń na temat dziewiętnastowieczności z futurologicznymi wizjami kosmosu. W artykule przedstawiono jeden ze sposobów, w jaki polsko-australijski pisarz kreuje swoje uniwersum, w którym świat naukowości dziewiętnastowiecznej i futurologiczne rozważania mieszają się ze światem metafizycznym i aspektami kulturowo-religijnymi. W konfrontacji trylogii z Uranią Kamila Flammariona wskazano aspekty charakterystyczne dla tradycji romantycznej i spirytystycznej Kardeca oraz bezpośrednie odwołania do aborygeńskich wyobrażeń o świecie (Epoka Snu, Dreamtime), których cechami wspólnymi są stan snu, oniryczna wędrówka kosmiczna oraz jedność ze wszechświatem. W artykule zaprezentowano sposób, w jaki pisarz wykorzystuje w swojej twórczości mitologię aborygeńską, łącząc ją bezpośrednio ze światem naukowym. Przywołanie dziewiętnastowiecznej idei postępu i ukazanie roli cywilizacji, a także opozycji pomiędzy „dzikością” a „cywilizacją” pozwala uwidocznić steampunkowa grę, którą Maszczyszyn podejmuje z wiktoriańskimi, kolonialnymi ideałami.

Kvaliteta života i socijalna podrška majki djece s razvojnim jezičnim poremećajem
Authors: Tadić Iva
Published: January 2023

Na kvalitetu života djeteta s teškoćama u razvoju, njegovih roditelja i obitelji, velik utjecaj ima socijalna podrška - i formalna i neformalna. Cilj je ovoga istraživanja procjeniti je li kvaliteta života kod majki djece s razvojnim jezičnim poremećajem narušena i je li povezana s različitim vrstama socijalne podrške, te utvrditi kojim su izvorima socijalne podrške sudionice najviše, a kojima najmanje zadovoljne. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 88 majki djece s dijagnozom razvojnog jezičnog poremećaja, koja su uključena u Program kompleksne rehabilitacije u predškolskom i osnovnoškolskom odjelu Poliklinike SUVAG. Istraživanje je uključivalo upitnike kojima se procjenjuju različite dimenzije kvalitete života i socijalne podrške, kao i sociodemografske podatke. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da je kvaliteta života majki djece s razvojnim jezičnim poremećajem znatno narušena i povezana s raznim aspektima socijalne podrške. Sudionice su iskazale najveće zadovoljstvo neformalnom socijalnom podrškom koju dobivaju od prijatelja, zatim od partnera i obitelji. Najmanje su zadovoljne formalnom socijalnom podrškom koju dobivaju od specijaliziranih ustanova. Na osnovi rezultata zaključujemo da kvaliteta života majki djece s razvojnim jezičnim poremećajem nije na zadovoljavajućoj razini, te da je potrebno osmisliti i provoditi sveobuhvatne programe formalne socijalne podrške usmjerene na obitelj, holističke i individualizirane.
Estudo do ciclo epidemiológico do vírus rábico, por meio do levantamento de abrigos e populações de morcegos hematófagos e da diversidade da quiropterofauna na região de Presidente Prudente
Authors:   , Rodenas Luiza Cristina Savio
Published: January 2023

Estima-se que a ordem dos quirópteros contribua com cerca de um quarto das espécies de toda a fauna brasileira de mamíferos. Apresentam grande importância nos ecossistemas, inclusive no urbano, sendo excelentes polinizadores, controladores de insetos entre outras várias funções para a cadeia alimentar. Algumas espécies são uma ameaça à saúde pública. Frequentemente os abrigos de morcegos estão próximos à criação de animais domésticos ou a edificações utilizadas por pessoas e animais de companhia. Essa proximidade pode ocasionar a transmissão de diversas enfermidades, dentre elas a Raiva, especialente pelos morcegos de hábitos hematófagos, que desempenham, importante papel como reservatórios e agentes transmissores do vírus que causa essa doença. O presente trabalho objetivou a identificação e levantamento de abrigos utilizados por morcegos hematófagos (Desmodus rotundus) e um levantamento de espécies de morcegos urbanos, a fim de verificar a presença do vírus da Raiva, detectar a presença de anticorpos antirrábicos e associar os resultados para entender o perfil epidemiológico da Raiva na região de Presidente Prudente. Para isso, o trabalho foi dividido em duas etapas. Na parte rural foi realizado um levantamento de abrigos e a busca ativa nas rodovias da região, sendo todos eles georeferenciados. Foram encontrados 48 abrigos e destes, apenas quatro encontravam-se ativos. Dois abrigos apresentaram somente Desmodus rotundus e outros dois apresentaram compartilhamento, sendo que em um deles se observou a presença das seguintes espécies: D. rotundus, Carollia perspicillata e Chrotopterus auritus e no outro abrigo, D. rotundus e C. perspicillata. Nas colônias onde havia compartilhamento do abrigo entre D. rotundus e outras espécies de morcegos, foi coletado um espécime de cada espécie. Na parte urbana foram selecionados nove pontos de coletas dentro da cidade e um espécime de cada espécie de cada ponto foi coletado. Foram coletados um total de 163 morcegos de 17 espécies, sendo oito delas registradas na área urbana de Presidente Prudente pela primeira vez. Os morcegos capturados foram encaminhados ao Laboratório de Raiva de Presidente Prudente, onde foram coletadas amostras de sangue, sendo posteriormente anestesiados e eutanasiados. Amostras de tecido cerebral foram submetidas aos testes de imunofluorescência direta e cultivo celular. Todas as amostras foram 100% negativas. Anticorpos séricos foram mensurados, apresentando uma variação de 0,07Ul/mL a 0,87 Ul/mL. Foi realizada a pesquisa de Lyssavirus na gordura marrom. Entretanto, somente um morcego da espécie Phyllostomus discolor, apresentou resultado positivo, cujo sequenciamento mostrou ser a variante AGV2, sendo este o primeiro relato no Brasil . O presente trabalho contribui para a prevenção, proteção e promoção à saúde pública por meio da vigilância que se fez por meio do monitoramento da circulação do vírus na região estudada.
Avaliação microbiológica e química das águas do Rio Tietê, em três municípios na sub bacia do alto Tietê/Cabeceiras, Mogi das Cruzes, Biritiba Mirim e Salesópolis
Authors:   , Neves Júnior Nilton
Published: January 2023

Na região do Alto Tietê/Cabeceiras encontram-se as cidades de Salesópolis, Biritiba Mirim e Mogi das Cruzes, em cujas zonas rurais desenvolve-se agricultura intensiva, com o cultivo de hortaliças. Dessa forma há o uso de agrotóxicos, fertilizantes e irrigação para o desenvolvimento das culturas. A principal drenagem dessa região está no Rio Tietê, cujas águas são captadas para abastecimento de parte da população de Mogi das Cruzes e da cidade de Biritiba Mirim. Por sua posição geográfica é de se esperar que parte do escoamento superficial, contendo agrotóxicos, seja carreado para este corpo d’água. Com o objetivo de conhecer a qualidade das águas do Rio Tietê, foi realizado o monitoramento dos rios Tietê, Biritiba e Córrego Cocuera, para avaliar quantativamente a presença dos compostos nitrogenados, nitrito, nitrato, nitrogênio amoniacal e os agrotóxicos atrazina, imidacloprido, tiametoxam, metalaxil, fipronil e difenoconazol. A atrazina foi escolhida porque é um herbicida que tem limites máximos estabelecidos pela legislação e os demais agrotóxicos foram escolhidos por serem utilizados na sub bacia do Alto Tietê Cabeceiras. A Escherichia coli foi avaliada para verificar a contaminação microbiológica. Como resultados das análises, não foi detectada contaminação por agrotóxicos, os componentes inorgânicos estudados (nitrato, nitrito e amônia) encontram-se dentro dos parâmetros da Resolução CONAMA 357/05 para as Classes 1 e 2. Os rios apresentaram contaminação, por E. coli, acima dos parâmetros estabelecidos pela Decisão de Diretoria nº 112/2013/ de 09 de abril de 2013 da Companhia Ambiental do Estado de São Paulo acima dos parâmetros para classe 2, no Rio Biritiba e Córrego Cocuera. Observase que é necessário um controle da qualidade da água nesse local, visto que é uma área de extensa produção de horticulturas que utiliza água desses corpos d’água para irrigação.
Potencial de nematoides entomopatogênicos e suas bactérias simbióticas para o controle dos percevejos Euschistus heros e Dichelops melacanthus (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) no sistema de sucessão soja-milho
Authors:   , Nanzer Samanta Letícia Lopes
Published: January 2023

Os percevejos Euschistus heros e Dichelops melacanthus são as pragas mais importantes na atualidade para o sistema de sucessão soja-milho no Brasil. Dichelops melacanthus ataca as plantas de milho na fase de plântula de seu desenvolvimento, permanecendo e se reproduzindo na palha ao longo de gerações. Enquanto o E. heros se alimenta principalmente dos grãos de soja e se aloja sob as folhas caídas após a colheita, devido à ausência de outra cultura hospedeira. Os nematoides entomopatogênicos (NEPs) têm a capacidade de matar insetos devido à sua capacidade de buscar o hospedeiro no solo e às suas associações com bactérias simbióticas que causam a patogênese. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar isolados de nematoides entomopatogênicos e suas bactérias simbióticas quanto ao seu potencial para controlar adultos de E. heros e D. melacanthus. Nematoides entomopatogênicos podem ser usados para controlar os percevejos adultos que ficam sobre a palhada, enquanto a bactéria simbiótica pode ser usada para controlar esses insetos acima do solo, sendo muito mais fáceis de produzir em comparação com os NEPs. Para avaliar as NEPs e suas bactérias simbióticas, os testes foram realizados em laboratório e em casa de vegetação. Os nematoides: S. diaprepesi AM163, S. carpocapsae All e S. carpocapsae IP1 causaram 100% de mortalidade no E. heros no substrato areia, a uma concentração de 140 JIs/cm² (1000 JIs/ inseto). As bactérias simbióticas testadas topicamente forneceram baixa mortalidade para E. heros (< 40,3%). No teste com S. diaprepesi AM163 aplicado no substrato de areia em cinco concentrações diferentes e avaliação no sétimo dia após a inoculação dos NEPs, a mortalidade de E. heros permaneceu abaixo de 50%, exceto nas altas concentrações de 24 JIs / cm² (50%) e 256 JIs / cm² (80%), respectivamente. Maiores proporções de mortalidade também resultaram no aumento do número de JIs produzidos por inseto, até a concentração de 88,4 JIs / cm² (5.400 JIs). O nematoide S. diaprepesi AM163 aplicado em E. heros em dois substratos (areia e palha) com espessuras de duas camadas, a uma concentração de 88,4 JIs / cm², causou altos índices de mortalidade de insetos (≥ 69%), independente do substrato e sua espessura de camada. O nematoide S. diaprepesi AM163 foi duas vezes mais virulento para E. heros (69,1% de mortalidade) do que para D. melacanthus (28,8%). Dichelops melacanthus foi igualmente resistente a ambos os nematoides S. diaprepesi AM163 e S. carpocapsae IP1. No teste de casa de vegetação, S. diaprepesi AM163 causou novamente um alto nível de mortalidade para E. heros (72,5%) na alta concentração de 88,4 JIs / cm². Assim, 0s NEPs podem ser uma alternativa para o controle de E. heros se altas concentrações de produção e uso se tornarem lucrativas e viáveis.

This study was conducted to determine the impact of adulteration on physico-chemical and coliforms content of marketed raw milk. For this purpose, 300 milk samples were collected from urban and peri-urban localities of Jhang, Pakistan. The results showed that 13.3%, 9.7%, 9%, 8.3% and 5.7% of the tested milk samples were positive for cane sugar, formalin, boric acid, H2O2 and urea, respectively besides the highest adulteration of water (95%). Other adulterants included soap (4.7%), sodium chloride (3.7%) and quaternary ammonium compounds (3.3%). The incidence of cane sugar and starch adulteration was highest in winter while formalin and H2O2 in summer season. The compositional quality of milk was also deteriorated by relatively lowered concentrations of lactose, fats, total solids, solids-not-fat (SNF) and proteins. Likewise, the pH and freezing point of contaminated milk samples were comparatively higher than the corresponding standard values. Furthermore, the adulterated milk samples were highly contaminated with E. coli (42.5%) and Enterobacter aerogenes (27.5%) as compared to non-adulterated milk. It was concluded that milk adulterationin the study area predominates round the year badly deteriorating the physico-chemical characteristic of milk besides contaminating it with injurious adulterants and water-borne pathogens posing potential health risks to the consumers.

This study aimed to reveal the effect of teaching the 4th grade circumference measurement subject with the dynamic geometry software “GeoGebra” on achievement and motivation. In the research, the pre-test – post-test control group design, which is one of the quasi-test designs, was used. In the Mathematics lessons conducted with the experimental group for three weeks, the subject of circumference measurement was taught with dynamic geometry software, whereas the control group followed the current curriculum. As data collection tools, the 21-item “4th Grade Circumference Measurement Achievement Test” (KR20=.81) developed by Öksüz and Genç (2021) and the “Primary School Mathematics Motivation Scale” (KR20=.94) developed by Ersoy and Öksüz (2015) were utilized. The pre-test was applied concurrently to the test and control groups one week before the research was initiated, and the post-test was applied immediately after the research ended. In the study, a paired-samples t-test was used to compare the pre-test and post-test scores of the students in the test and control groups within the groups; whereas covariance analysis (ANCOVA) was used to compare the post-test scores of the related groups. As a result of the research, it was concluded that there was a statistically significant difference between the achievement and motivation post-test scores of the students in the experimental group who learned the subject of “Circumference Measurement” with the dynamic geometry software and the students in the control group who did not use this program on behalf of the experimental group.

Using the Provider Authoritarian Attitude Scale
Authors:   Breakthrough RESEARCH
Published: January 2023

The Breakthrough RESEARCH project, funded by the United States Agency for International Development, developed a set of measures to reflect authoritarian attitudes of providers. These measures were validated in three phases, including quantitative field testing and improvement of survey items using qualitative cognitive interviews. This process resulted in a reliable scale consisting of 14 items (α = 0.8323)1 reflecting authoritarian attitudes related to provider attitudes about clients, their professional roles, and gender roles, and can be applied across health areas. This technical reference sheet provides information to monitoring, evaluation, and research practitioners on the resulting 14-item scale (in English and French) as well as instructions and resources for fielding and analyzing providers’ authoritarian attitudes using these measures.

Authors: Bakre Opeyemi , Mudzanani Takalani
Published: January 2023

The Apartheid Museum is a non-profit organisation that relies on the generosity of government and private organisations, as well as the sale of gate tickets. It, thus, relies on building and sustaining a long-term relationship with its visitors to earn their loyalty and support. Marketing public relations (MPR) is a concept which has been explored by numerous studies in commercial contexts. The aim of this study was to explore the use of marketing public relations at the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg, South Africa. In order to do so, a survey involving 384 visitors was conducted. The data from the questionnaires were analysed using the SPSS software. The study found that the museum uses such marketing relations tools as exhibitions, sponsorships, seminars, trade shows, its website, social media, media relations and publications. The practical significance of the article resides in its provision of MPR guidelines for organisations such as the Apartheid Museum for the purposes of building long-term, meaningful relations with its customer stakeholders. In addition, its academic significance lies in the meaningful contribution it makes to MPR scholarship.

Published: January 2023

This paper investigated the effect of information and communications technology (ICT) on technical inefficiency in the Southern African Democratic Community (SADC). A stochastic production and technical inefficiency functions were simultaneously estimated, using panel data on 16 SADC member countries between 1980 and 2017. The study provided evidence that ICT can reduce technical inefficiency. Further, evidence shows that capital, labour and human capital are significant in increasing countries’ outputs. This paper concluded that the Southern African Democratic Community needs to ensure that investment in ICT is increased across its member states as a means to reduce technical inefficiency and increase output.
Labour Productivity and Economic Growth in the WAEMU Region: Both a Puzzle and a Key to Economic Development?
Authors: Kader M’baye Cheick
Published: January 2023

This article empirically investigated the causal relationship between labour productivity and economic growth in the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) region. Recent panel cointegration and Granger causality techniques were adopted to analyse this relationship for the period 1994 to 2018. For robustness checks, three main Granger causality tests were applied in the context of panel VAR, namely: (a) the standard stacked Granger causality, (b) the Dumitrescu and Hurlin (2012) Granger causality, and (c) the Toda and Yamamoto (1995) augmented VAR approach to Granger causality. Contrary to the previous literature and general beliefs, the study found no evidence (neither in the short-run nor in the long-run) of a causal relationship between labour productivity and economic growth in the WAEMU region. The finding suggested that, as long as one considers labour input a determinant of economic growth, the latter is rather intensive labour-based than efficient labour-based in the case of WAEMU. This puzzling result can be explained by the low structural level of labour productivity stemming from the very high proportion of informal employment in these countries. The finding provided important policy implications for the WAEMU countries notably in terms of improving labour productivity in the informal economy, which appears to be the fundamental key to economic development in these countries.
Costs of Corporate Governance Failures: Evidence from South Africa
Authors: Muzata Tapiwa
Published: January 2023

Corporate governance (CG) failures, exemplified by noncompliance with laws, regulations and best practices, have pecuniary costs. Using agency theory, the study aimed to quantify costs of governance failures in South Africa’s FTSE/JSE Top40 listed companies and establish ultimate cost bearer. This differentiates this study from extant literature and makes both methodological and practice contributions by using Value at Risk procedures. Except for Steinhoff, which lost 85% of its value in six weeks, event study method was used to select the other eleven Top40 listed companies included in the study. Data on identified CG failures, published on the Stock Exchange News Service and announced by Regulatory Authorities between 2008 and 2016, was used. At 99.99% confidence level, up to 73.33% of revenue and 62 cents per R1 of market capitalisation were eroded because of governance failures. Due to ascertained losses, the study concluded that CG failures have pecuniary socio-economic costs incurred by principals and government through social expenditure. Theoretical implications suggest agency theory’s extension as agency costs underestimate potential costs by excluding socio-economic costs. The study recommended the use of behavioural theories for insights into agents’ behaviours leading to governance failures and losses. It also recommended that policymakers should strengthen the role of gatekeeping professions to curb the magnitude of ascertained costs.

Authors: Akbar Irawan  , Azhar Mohammad
Published: January 2023

Penelitian penggunaan slag semen pada campuran beton sebagai cementious telah dimulai sejak tahun 1774. Saat ini di negara-negara maju slag semen telah dimanfaatkan pada setiap campuran beton, bahkan persentasenya mencapai 30% dari cementious, hal ini dapat dilihat dari produksi slag semen yang terus meningkat dari tahun ke tahun. Pembuatan beton dengan menggunakan slag sement sebagai campuran agregat halus untuk subtitusi terhadap semen yang selanjutnya dilakukan pengujian terhadap benda uji beton untuk mengetahui seberapa besar pengaruhnya terhadap nilai kuat tekan pada beton, serta bertujuan juga untuk mendapatkan campuran bahan beton dengan biaya yang lebih efisien dibandingkan beton non-slag. Kuat tekan Beton akan mengidentifikasi mutu dari sebuah konstruksi, semakin tinggi kekuatan struktur yang direncanakan , maka semakin tinggi pula mutu beton yang harus di hasilkan. Beberapa faktor yang mempengaruhi kuat tekan beton, yaitu faktor air semen (w/c), jumlah air, jumlah dan kualitas semen, kualitas agregat, umur beton,  serta perawatan beton. Apabila w/c tidak sesuai dengan beton yang direncanakan maka beton akan mengalami perubahan kekuatan.  Hubungan antara kuat tekan beton dengan nilai w/c berbanding terbalik, kuat tekan akan menjadi tinggi apabila angka w/c kecil dan sebaliknya kuat tekan akan rendah apabila w/c makin besar. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa perbandingan komposisi untuk memperoleh mutu yang sama didapatkan hasil pada beton slag ada penambahan air 7 liter/m³ terhadap non-slag, dan mengurangi sementious sebesar 2 kg/m³, serta slag semen memberikan kontribusi terhadap kuat tekan lebih besar dari pada beton non-slag  sebesar  4,3%, akan tetapi dalam mencapai hal itu, slag semen membutuhkan air yang lebih banyak, sedangkan dari segi biaya, dibandingkan beton non-slag, slag semen dapat menekan biaya sebesar  Rp 15.354,00/m3.

Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND:

While autografts to date remain the “gold standard” for bone void fillers, synthetic bone grafts have garnered attention due to their favorable advantages such as ability to be tailored in terms of their physical and chemical properties. Bioactive glass (BG), an inorganic material, has the capacity to form a strong bond with bone by forming a bone-like apatite surface, enhancing osteogenesis. Coupled with additive manufacturing (3D printing) it is possible to maximize bone regenerative properties of the BG.

OBJECTIVE:

The objective of this study was to synthesize and characterize 3D printed mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG), BG 45S5, and compare to β-Tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) based scaffolds; test cell viability and osteogenic differentiation on human osteoprogenitor cells in vitro.

METHODS:

MBG, BG 45S5, and β-TCP were fabricated into colloidal gel suspensions, tested with a rheometer, and manufactured into scaffolds using a 3D direct-write micro-printer. The materials were characterized in terms of microstructure and composition with Thermogravimetric Analyzer/Differential Scanning Calorimeter (TGA/DSC), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Micro-Computed Tomography (μ-CT), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS), and Mattauch–Herzog-Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (MH-ICP-MS).

RESULTS:

Scaffolds were tested for cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation using human osteoprogenitor cells. Osteogenic media was used for differentiation, and immunocytochemistry for osteogenic markers Runx-2, Collagen-I, and Osteocalcin. The cell viability results after 7 days of culture yielded significantly higher ( p < 0.05) results in β-TCP scaffolds compared to BG 45S5 and MBG groups.

CONCLUSION:

All materials expressed osteogenic markers after 21 days of culture in expansion and osteogenic media.

OBJECTIVES:

This study aims to develop and validate a radiomics nomogram based on dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) to noninvasively predict axillary lymph node (ALN) metastasis in breast cancer.

METHODS:

This retrospective study included 263 patients with histologically proven invasive breast cancer and who underwent DCE-MRI examination before surgery in two hospitals. All patients had a defined ALN status based on pathological examination results. Regions of interest (ROIs) of the primary tumor and ipsilateral ALN were manually drawn. A total of 1,409 radiomics features were initially computed from each ROI. Next, the low variance threshold, SelectKBest, and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithms were used to extract the radiomics features. The selected radiomics features were used to establish the radiomics signature of the primary tumor and ALN. A radiomics nomogram model, including the radiomics signature and the independent clinical risk factors, was then constructed. The predictive performance was evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA) by using the training and testing sets.

RESULTS:

ALNM rates of the training, internal testing, and external testing sets were 43.6%, 44.3% and 32.3%, respectively. The nomogram, including clinical risk factors (tumor diameter) and radiomics signature of the primary tumor and ALN, showed good calibration and discrimination with areas under the ROC curves of 0.884, 0.822, and 0.813 in the training, internal and external testing sets, respectively. DCA also showed that radiomics nomogram displayed better clinical predictive usefulness than the clinical or radiomics signature alone.

CONCLUSIONS:

The radiomics nomogram combined with clinical risk factors and DCE-MRI-based radiomics signature may be used to predict ALN metastasis in a noninvasive manner.
