Molecular epidemiological study of microtubule-associated protein-like 4-anaplastic lymphoma kinase fusion gene using immunohistochemistry as a cost effective alternative to fluorescence in situ hybridization for Indian patients with adenocarcinoma lung
Authors: Mehta Anurag , Batra Ullas
Published: July 2017

Background: With fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) as the main-stay for the detection of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangements, the ALK Break Apart FISH Probe Kit has become a Food and Drug Association-approved companion diagnostic for targeted therapy with the ALK inhibitor crizotinib in lung cancers. The objective of this molecular epidemiological study was to estimate the prevalence of microtubule-associated protein-like 4-ALK (EML4-ALK) fusion gene using immunohistochemistry (IHC) as a cost effective alternative to FISH for Indian patients with nonsmall-cell cancer (NSCC)-adenocarcinoma, favor adenocarcinoma lung and NSCC- Not otherwise specified (NOS).

Materials and Methods: Patients with NSCC-adenocarcinoma, favor adenocarcinoma lung, and nonsmall cell lung cancer-NOS histology were considered for this study. Permission was obtained from the Ethics Committee before the start of the study. Clinical characteristics and treatment details were collected from the patient's medical records. IHC analysis was performed using a Ventana automated immunostainer (Benchmark XT). Detection was performed using OptiView DAB Detection and Amplification Kit.

Results: A total of 200 NSCC-adenocarcinoma, favour adenocarcinoma and NSCC-NOS patients were included in the study. There were 122 (61%) men and 78 (39%) women with a median age of 57 years. Of the 200 patients, 43 (21.5%) were nonsmokers and 175 (87.5%) had Stage-IV disease at the time of initial diagnosis. 48 (24%) cases were positive for epidermal growth factor receptor mutations, whereas EML4-ALK fusion gene was present in 27 (13.5%) patients. 25 of the 27 patients with ALK positivity received crizotinib therapy.

Conclusions: The incidence of EML4-ALK gene fusions (13.5%) in this Indian population is four-fold high than the previous reported incidences and supports the claim of several recent studies that a relatively new ALK clone, 5A4, and D5F3 from Leica/Novocastra and cell signaling technology/Ventana, respectively can accurately identify ALK rearranged lung adenocarcinoma. The inclusion of IHC for the detection of EML4-ALK gene fusions as a low cost alternative seems justified in low resource setting.

Moral Education and Ideology: The Revival of Confucian Values and the Harmonious Shaping of the New Chinese Man
Authors: AMBROGIO Selusi
Published: July 2017

In this paper, we will investigate the re-emergence of Confucianism in contemporary China as a complex intersection of political, cultural, educational and popular perspectives. This resurgence is neither a kind of Chinese Neoclassicism nor a nostalgic backwardness, instead it is the emblem of the new China’s identity. Confucius and Confucianism, violently despised as the remains of feudalism since the May Fourth Movement and during Maoism, are nowadays a fertile source for the fulfilment of “Socialism with Chinese characteristics” (zhongguo tese shehui zhuyi 中国特色社会主义) on both the educational and political levels. We carry out the investigation in three steps: 1. The political rehabilitation of Confucianism as part of the “Chinese dream” (zhongguo meng 中国梦); 2. The common social perception of Confucianism and tradition as a shared and unavoidable background; 3. The definition of two possible Confucianisms (namely New Confucianism and Political Confucianism) and their possible influences on Chinese society and moral education. Our conclusions will deal with Chinese cultural soft power, and the shaping of a new Confucian identity based on both modernity and tradition.

Computational Science-based Research on Dark Matter at KISTI
Authors: Cho Kihyeon
Published: July 2017

The Standard Model of particle physics was established after discovery of the
Higgs boson. However, little is known about dark matter, which has mass and constitutes
approximately five times the number of standard model particles in space. The
cross-section of dark matter is much smaller than that of the existing Standard Model,
and the range of the predicted mass is wide, from a few eV to several PeV. Therefore,
massive amounts of astronomical, accelerator, and simulation data are required to study
dark matter, and efficient processing of these data is vital. Computational science,
which can combine experiments, theory, and simulation, is thus necessary for dark matter
research. A computational science and deep learning-based dark matter research platform
is suggested for enhanced coverage and sharing of data. Such an approach can efficiently
add to our existing knowledge on the mystery of dark matter.
Variation in Solar Limb Darkening Coefficient Estimated from Solar Images Taken by
SOHO and SDO
Authors: Moon Byeongha , Jeong Dong-Gwon , Oh Suyeon , Sohn Jongdae
Published: July 2017

The sun is not equally bright over the whole sphere, but rather is darkened
toward the limb. This effect is well-known as limb darkening. The limb darkening
coefficient is defined by the ratio of the center intensity to limb intensity. In this
study, we calculate the limb darkening coefficient using the photospheric intensity
estimated from solar images taken by solar and helispheric observatory (SOHO) and solar
dynamics observatory (SDO). The photospheric intensity data cover almost two solar
cycles from May 1996 to December 2016. The limb darkening coefficient for a size of 0.9
diameter is about 0.69 and this value is consistent with solar limb darkening. The limb
darkening coefficient estimated from SOHO shows a temporal increase at solar maximum and
a gradual increase since the solar minimum of 2008. The limb darkening coefficient
estimated from SDO shows a constant value of about 0.65 and a decreasing trend since
2014. The increase in the coefficient reflects the effect of weakened solar activity.
However, the decrease since 2014 is caused by the aging effect.
H2O2 modulates the energetic metabolism of the cloud
microbiome
Authors: Wirgot Nolwenn , Vinatier Virginie , Deguillaume Laurent , Sancelme Martine , Delort Anne-Marie
Published: July 2017

Abstract. Chemical reactions in clouds lead to oxidation processes driven by radicals (mainly HO●, NO3● or HO2●) or strong oxidants such as H2O2, O3, nitrate and nitrite. Among those species, hydrogen peroxide plays a central role in the cloud chemistry by driving its oxidant capacity. In cloud droplets, H2O2 is transformed by microorganisms which are metabolically active. Biological activity can therefore impact the cloud oxidant capacity. The present article aims at highlighting the interactions between H2O2 and microorganisms within the cloud system. First, experiments were performed with selected strains studied as reference isolated from clouds in microcosms designed to mimic the cloud chemical composition, including the presence of light and iron. Biotic and abiotic degradation rates of H2O2 were measured and results showed that biodegradation was the most efficient process together with photo-Fenton process. H2O2 strongly impacted the microbial energetic state as shown by adenosine triphosphate (ATP) measurements in the presence and absence of H2O2. This ATP depletion was not due to the loss of cell viability. Secondly, correlation studies were performed based on real cloud measurements from 37 clouds samples collected at the PUY station (1465 m a.s.l., France). The results support a strong correlation between ATP and H2O2 concentrations and confirm that H2O2 modulates the energetic metabolism of the cloud microbiome. The modulation of microbial metabolism by H2O2 concentration could thus impact cloud chemistry, in particular the biotransformation rates of carbon compounds and consequently can perturb the way the cloud system is modifying the global atmospheric chemistry.
On the compatibility of Brewer total column ozone measurements in two adjacent valleys (Arosa and Davos) in the Swiss Alps
Authors: Stübi René , Schill Herbert , Klausen Jörg , Vuilleumier Laurent , Gröbner Jülian , Egli Luca , Ruffieux Dominique
Published: July 2017

Abstract. The Arosa site is well known in the ozone community for its continuous total ozone column observations recorded since 1926. Originally based on Dobson sun spectrophotometers, the site has been gradually complemented by three automatic Brewer instruments, in operation since 1998. To secure the long term ozone monitoring in this Alpine region and to benefit from synergies with the World Radiation Center, the feasibility of moving this activity to the nearby site at Davos (aerial distance of 13 km) has 5 been explored. Concerns about a possible rupture of the 90 years long record has motivated a careful comparison of the two sites since great attention to the data continuity and quality has always been central to the operations of the observatory at Arosa. To this end, one element of the Arosa Brewer triad has been set up at the Davos site since November 2011 to realize a campaign of parallel measurements and to study the deviations between the three Brewer instruments. The analysis of the coincident measurements shows that the différences between Arosa and Davos remain within the range of the 10 long term stability of the Brewer instruments. A non-significant seasonal cycle is observed, which could possibly be induced by a stray light bias and the altitude difference between the two sites. These differences are shown to be lower than the short term variability of the time series and the overall uncertainty from individual Brewer instruments and therefore are not statistically significant. It is therefore concluded that the world’s longest time series of the total ozone column obtained at Arosa site could be safely extended and continued with measurements taken from instruments located at the nearby Davos site without 15 introducing a bias in this unique record.
A dual-biomarker approach for quantification of changes in relative humidity from sedimentary lipid D∕H ratios
Authors: Rach Oliver , Kahmen Ansgar , Brauer Achim , Sachse Dirk
Published: July 2017

Abstract. Past climatic change can be reconstructed from sedimentary archives by a number of proxies. However, few methods exist to directly estimate hydrological changes and even fewer result in quantitative data, impeding our understanding of the timing, magnitude and mechanisms of hydrological changes. Here we present a novel approach based on δ2H values of sedimentary lipid biomarkers in combination with plant physiological modeling to extract quantitative information on past changes in relative humidity. Our initial application to an annually laminated lacustrine sediment sequence from western Europe deposited during the Younger Dryas cold period revealed relative humidity changes of up to 15 % over sub-centennial timescales, leading to major ecosystem changes, in agreement with palynological data from the region. We show that by combining organic geochemical methods and mechanistic plant physiological models on well characterized lacustrine archives it is possible to extract quantitative ecohydrological parameters from sedimentary lipid biomarker δ2H data.
An estimate of the inflation factor and analysis sensitivity in the ensemble Kalman filter
Authors: Wu Guocan , Zheng Xiaogu
Published: July 2017

Abstract. The ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) is a widely used ensemble-based assimilation method, which estimates the forecast error covariance matrix using a Monte Carlo approach that involves an ensemble of short-term forecasts. While the accuracy of the forecast error covariance matrix is crucial for achieving accurate forecasts, the estimate given by the EnKF needs to be improved using inflation techniques. Otherwise, the sampling covariance matrix of perturbed forecast states will underestimate the true forecast error covariance matrix because of the limited ensemble size and large model errors, which may eventually result in the divergence of the filter. In this study, the forecast error covariance inflation factor is estimated using a generalized cross-validation technique. The improved EnKF assimilation scheme is tested on the atmosphere-like Lorenz-96 model with spatially correlated observations, and is shown to reduce the analysis error and increase its sensitivity to the observations.
SEMIC: an efficient surface energy and mass balance model applied to the Greenland ice sheet
Authors: Krapp Mario , Robinson Alexander , Ganopolski Andrey
Published: July 2017

Abstract. We present SEMIC, a Surface Energy and Mass balance model of Intermediate Complexity for snow- and ice-covered surfaces such as the Greenland ice sheet. SEMIC is fast enough for glacial cycle applications, making it a suitable replacement for simpler methods such as the positive degree day (PDD) method often used in ice sheet modelling. Our model explicitly calculates the main processes involved in the surface energy and mass balance, while maintaining a simple interface and requiring minimal data input to drive it. In this novel approach, we parameterise diurnal temperature variations in order to more realistically capture the daily thaw–freeze cycles that characterise the ice sheet mass balance. We show how to derive optimal model parameters for SEMIC specifically to reproduce surface characteristics and day-to-day variations similar to the regional climate model MAR (Modèle Atmosphérique Régional, version 2) and its incorporated multilayer snowpack model SISVAT (Soil Ice Snow Vegetation Atmosphere Transfer). A validation test shows that SEMIC simulates future changes in surface temperature and surface mass balance in good agreement with the more sophisticated multilayer snowpack model SISVAT included in MAR. With this paper, we present a physically based surface model to the ice sheet modelling community that is general enough to be used with in situ observations, climate model, or reanalysis data, and that is at the same time computationally fast enough for long-term integrations, such as glacial cycles or future climate change scenarios.

La autoría única en SciELO Chile: prácticas autoriales en las áreas de la ciencia
Authors: Meza Paulina , Sabaj Omar , Matsuda Ken
Published: July 2017

Dada la importancia del análisis de la cooperación, el estudio de la productividad científica se ha focalizado en las autorías múltiples y no ha abordado la autoría única. El propósito de este artículo es analizar las autorías únicas de la base SciELO Chile, entre los años 2010 y 2014. Los datos corresponden a 9.541 registros, con los cuales se estimó la proporción de la autoría única versus la multi-autoría, y el número de contribuciones por autor único en cada área de la ciencia. La autoría única representa el 29% del total publicado, y es una práctica frecuente en Humanidades y Ciencias Sociales. Por otra parte, los autores únicos, además, tienden a ser ocasionales, es decir, escriben solos y solo una vez. El estudio de la autoría única es fundamental para comprender las dinámicas particulares de la construcción de conocimiento científico y para generar e implementar políticas de investigación.

Published: July 2017

This study aimed at comparing the performance of horizontal, vertical and hybrid subsurface flow system in polishing wastewater effluent from the maturation pond at Gusii wastewater treatment plant, Kenya. The treatments were monitored for six weeks duration for chemical oxygen demand, total suspended solids, total nitrogen and total phosphorous against Kenya’s National Environmental Management Authority standards for effluent discharge. Among the systems planted with Vetiver grass, the hybrid subsurface flow system significantly removed the pollutants more efficiently than the single operated systems. The Vetiver planted hybrid subsurface flow wetland systems achieved the highest removal of COD, TN, TP and TSS at 82.4, 87.9, 65 and 94.6%, respectively as compared to other wetland systems. The planted vertical subsurface flow removed COD, TN and TP at 72.9, 75.7, and 50.7%, respectively more efficiently than the horizontal subsurface flow system that achieved removal of COD, TN and TP at 65.3, 70.0 and 43.8%, respectively. The planted horizontal subsurface flow wetland however showed better TSS removal at 89.9% compared to 83.2% achieved by vertical subsurface flow system. The unplanted systems exhibited a similar trend whereby the hybrid subsurface flow systems achieved better performance than the single systems though with significantly (P≤0.05) lower organics and nutrients removal efficiencies compared to the planted systems.

Acute appendicitis is the most common surgical condition with which patients present in emergency departments worldwide. It is also a rare cause of intestinal obstruction. Here, we report a case of a 53-year-old man who presented with a clinical picture of mechanical small bowel obstruction. Leucocytosis was not demonstrated on the routine blood investigation in our case, in contrast to the findings for most patients with acute appendicitis. Acute appendicitis, as the cause of the intestinal obstruction, was diagnosed by computed tomography of the abdomen. The patient was treated using diagnostic laparoscopy and laparoscopic appendectomy. This case was compared with those previously reported in the medical literature to determine the frequency of the case and the surgical management.

Omental extragastrointestinal stromal tumors are rare neoplasms. We present a case of an elderly woman who was found to have a large solid and cystic pelvic mass of presumed ovarian origin with associated omental neovascularity. Histopathologic examination showed a mixed spindled and epithelioid tumor which was essentially negative for c-KIT and positive for smooth muscle markers by immunohistochemistry. A next generation sequencing panel was performed, analyzing the patient’s tumor for actionable mutations in 50 genes commonly associated with human cancers. Identification of a point mutation in PDGFRA enabled accurate diagnosis and provided an option for targeted therapy for this rare tumor.
Public health nursing interventions to promote quality of life in older adult populations:	A systematic review
Authors: Schaffer Marjorie A. , Kalfoss Mary , Glavin Kari
Published: July 2017

This review analyzes how nurse-led public health interventions promote quality of life (QoL) among older populations. Using Medline and Cinahl databases, authors completed a systematic review of experimental and quasi-experimental studies published between January 2010 and March 2016 that described interventions used by public health nurses to address health needs of older adult populations. Lawton’s theoretical QoL concepts and the Public Health Intervention Wheel model, which names interventions at the individual, community and systems levels, were used to interpret results. The 23 studies were widely distributed geographically. Four of Lawton’s theoretical QoL domains (Health, Functional Health, Personal Competency, Psychological Well-Being) were addressed in the majority of studies. Although public health nurses used Wheel interventions at all levels of practice, individual level interventions were featured in studies to a greater extent in comparison to community and systems level interventions. Few studies used QoL measures to determine intervention effectiveness.  Nurses should consider QoL domains, as they design individual, community, and systems level interventions to improve the health of older adult populations.

Would Hedge Fund Regulation Mitigate Systemic Risk? Direct vs. Indirect Regulation Approach
Authors: Laura Mehnaz Roushan , Fahad Nafiz Ul
Published: July 2017

This paper presents the direct vs. indirect debate of hedge fund regulation and attempts to find which approach is better able to mitigate systemic risk that the industry poses to the economy. The waves of regulatory reforms and enhanced concern regarding investors protection have recently brought attention of the regulators to hedge fund regulation issue. But, many academics fear that direct intervention may limit industry growth and benefit. Addressing these concerns, this paper observes the systemic importance of hedge fund industry based on four criteria’s [size, leverage, interconnectedness to large complex financial institutions (LCFIs) and herding] and concludes that although this industry is still small in terms of size and leverage, their interconnectivity with LCFIs and potential herding make them systemically significant. Hence, regulation of hedge fund is necessary to restrict the transmission of systemic events. Analysing direct and indirect approaches, this paper suggests that the counterparties are best positioned to implement this regulatory change.
Calculation of the Maximum Number of Cutting Finite Fields in the Multi-dimensions
Authors: Huang Erick C. , Huang Sharon S. , Tsai Cheng-Hua
Published: July 2017

The original problem that serves as a basis for this project comes from an American contest (PUMaC, 2014) regarding the maximum amount of enclosed spaces given a limited number of cuts on an infinite plane. In this study, we explore the same problem and extend it in the context of m dimensions given n (m-1) dimensional cuts using the recursive relationship of finite cuts and enclosed spaces in lower dimensions. Once the general formula of f(m,n) was proven for dimensions, an Euler’s inspired formula was used to check the accuracy of the formula in two and three dimensions. The Euler’s formula also allowed us to derive the formula for the maximum number of unenclosed spaces in three-dimensional F(3, n). The results are as follows:

owners of all types of farms usually drew upon the following sources of information: ODR (Agricultural Advisory
Centres) extension officers, technical journals, training courses, internet and television. Livestock farms (cattle and
pig farms) showed a greater demand for extension services that did mixed production farms. Of the extension services
present, consulting by ODR’s workers and by agricultural agencies were in the greatest demand.

STATUS OF CATTLE AND BEEF EXTERNAL TRADE OF POLAND AND HUNGARY OUTSIDE THE EUROPEAN UNION BETWEEN 2002 AND 2015
Authors: Mészáros Kornélia , Lencsés Enikő
Published: July 2017

Both Hungary and Poland are net exporter in cattle and beef trade. Because of the large Polish and Hungarian supply these countries cannot sell all products on domestic and EU single markets. Cattle and beef production of both countries have to be sold on non-EU markets. These markets have a special attribute because import of cattle and beef to EU is regulated but the export to these countries is not under European limitation. This special attribute results in the fact that there are less available scientific indexes to use studying the international trade. In this paper we aimed to examine the comparative advantages of Hungarian and Polish cattle and beef export to non-EU markets between 2002 and 2015. Out analysis based primary on Balassa index (RCA) which is compared with the share of product export of the reference countries in their entire export. Secondary, the Revealed Symmetric Comparative Advantage (RSCA) was used as a correction of RCA (makes the RCA symmetrical). Primary we established that both studied countries have the same non-EU target markets with the highest importance of Turkey and Russia. During the examined period several changes were resulted, for example the decrease of Turkish market and the Russian embargo. These changes had an effect on comparative advantages.

CHANGES IN PRODUCTION POTENTIAL IN AGRI-FOOD SECTOR IN POLAND
Authors: Pawlewicz Adam , Brodziński Zbigniew
Published: July 2017

The aim of studies and analyzes was to identify the directions of changes that took place in the Polish agro-food sector
on the background of the whole economy of the country. The analysis focused on the manufacturing potential and was
based on information on labor resources, the value of the means of production and investment outlays in the food industry
and agriculture. The analysis period covered the years 2005-2015, which was used to present the linear regression line
for 2016-2017. On the basis of the research, there has been observed a decline in employment in the food industry and
an increase in the number of people employed in agriculture. At the same time, the gross value of fixed assets in these
divisions is growing, with their share in the overall economy decreasing. Also, the value of investment outlays in the food
and agriculture sectors increased during the period, but in the case of the food industry the whole economy is decreasing,
while in agriculture it is growing slightly.
ECONOMIC EVALUATION OF WINTER WHEAT PRODUCTION FROM
DIFFERENT UTILITY GROUPS DEPENDING ON THE INTENSITY
OF TECHNOLOGY
Authors: Sułek Alicja
Published: July 2017

The aim of the study was to assess the production and economic effects of the cultivation of four cultivars of winter
wheat belonging to different utility groups, depending on the production technology. The study was based on the results of
the field experiment conducted in the years of 2008-2010. The tested cultivars were: Tonacja, Bogatka, Kris, and Satyna.
Among the tested cultivars, the highest grain yield was obtained from Bogatka, lower from Tonacja, while the lowest
from Kris and Satyna. The compared technologies ensured the profitability of winter wheat grain production. The highest
direct profitability index was found for bread cultivar Bogatka, while the lowest for Satyna. Under intensive technology,
additional grain production of bread wheat cultivars Kris and Bogatka was more cost-effective than under economic
technology. Under integrated technology, the highest marginal efficiency of grain production was recorded for cv. Bogatka
THE LEVEL AND PRICE VOLATILITY OF BLUEBERRY FRUITS (VACCINIUM
CORYMBOSUM L.) OBTAINED BY PRODUCER AND ON THE WHOLESALE
MARKET DURING 2007-2016
Authors: Wróblewska Wioletta , Czernyszewicz Eugenia
Published: July 2017

The aim of the study was to assess the level and volatility of prices of blueberry obtained in the farm
(in wholesale on the domestic market and in export) and on the wholesale market during 2007-2016, due
to choice of distribution channel. The level, direction and intensification of price changes were analyzed.
The study shows that the prices of blueberry at the producer level were characterized by greater volatility
than the wholesale market. Prices obtained by the producers on wholesale on the domestic market were
significantly lower than in exports and in the wholesale market, on average in the analyzed period accounted
for only 69% of the export price and 52% of the wholesale market price. Regardless of where the price
comes from,the highest price for fruits was obtained in September, and the lowest in August, which is the
month of the largest supply of fruits on the market.
