La letra como signo visual del arte: Análisis de sus funciones discursivas
Authors: Tostado Reyes Jose Antonio
Published: January 2020

Esta investigación ha tenido como propósito examinar la relación paralela entre la producción plástica del texto en la obra artística y algunos procesos interpretativos implicados en su abordaje semiótico, a fin de esclarecer el impacto y las funciones del discurso escrito en las artes visuales. Se ha planteado una investigación de carácter descriptivo y documental, cuyos instrumentos de indagación fueron: 1) la investigación de perspectivas teóricas en torno a la semiótica del texto y 2) una selección y clasificación de piezas artísticas en las que el texto opera, semióticamente, de forma significativa. Se llevó a cabo un análisis de las obras seleccionadas a partir de la teoría de las funciones del lenguaje, propuesta por Roman Jakobson. La investigación ha permitido cruces teóricos que validan el análisis tipografístico como alternativa de estudio formal de las manifestaciones del arte. Y a su vez ha contribuido a una tipificación que trasciende las categorías históricas o estéticas tradicionales y permite abordar nuevas formas de apreciación y significación del texto (sea escrito, grabado, pintado, dibujado, impreso o tecleado) en relación con su materialidad y aporte expresivo al campo artístico.

Pese a la implicación directa entre arte y tipografismo, los materiales teóricos que documentan esa relación son escasos. Este trabajo ha permitido visibilizar las posibilidades expresivas del texto a partir de la identificación de sus funciones en la obra. La extrapolación del modelo jakobsiano —que parte de la oralidad y el discurso escrito tradicional— hacia el lenguaje plástico ha favorecido la comprensión de la complejidad discursiva en los dos niveles de la representación del texto en el arte: 1) su dimensión lingüística y 2) su carácter gráfico-expresivo; lo que ha permitido constituir una propuesta teórica que puede contrastarse con la producción artística.

Published: January 2020

Human fingerprint is unique to every person and can be used easily for identification purposes. People leave fingerprints almost everywhere and that's why using fingerprint databases for investigation is so common. Fingerprints can be used in many important and vital applications: providing vital security, and sometimes fingerprint may be distorted (deformed) because it was taken from somewhere where the place was wood plank, wall or door hand, so we need to enhance the image, in this paper we will introduce  LBP enhancement for better minutiae detection and counting, and it will be showed how to construct a fingerprint identifier (features) to be used later as a key to retrieve or recognize the fingerprint.

Authors: Mece Elinda Kajo , Paci Hakik , Binjaku Kleona
Published: January 2020

Regression testing is very important but also a very costly and time-consuming activity that ensures the developers that changes in the application will not bring new errors. Retest all, selection of test cases and prioritization of test cases (TCP)  approaches are used to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness in regression testing. While test case selection techniques decrease testing time and cost, it can exclude some critical test cases that can detect the faults. On the other hand, test case prioritization considers all test cases and execute them until resources are exhausted or all test cases are executed, while always focusing on the most important ones. Over the years, machine learning has found wide usage in solving different problems in software engineering. Software development and maintenance problems can be defined as learning problems and machine learning techniques have shown to be very effective in solving these problems. In the range of application of machine learning, machine learning techniques have also found usage in solving the test case prioritization problem. In this paper, we investigate the application of machine learning techniques in test case prioritization. We survey some of the most recent studies made in this field and provide information like techniques of machine learning used in TCP process, metrics used to measure the effectiveness of the proposed methods, data used to define the priority of test cases and some advantages or limitations of application of machine learning in TCP.
The Root Cause Analysis Algorithm Design Incorporated with Analytic Hierarchy Process for Software Application Error
Authors: Wong Hoo Meng , Amalathas Sagaya Sabestinal
Published: January 2020

Software application normally comes along with its event logging feature today. However, with only the software application event log would be hard to determine the root cause if the error occurs beyond the software application boundary. In such circumstance, the time duration of conducting the root cause analysis activity will be easily prolonged. In order to identify the root cause more effectively, multiple event log files from different boundaries that are involved with software application such as Operating System, Networking, Middleware, Database Management System and etc are required. Therefore it will add additional complexity to the root cause analysis process. With such challenge, a new analysis approach is proposed. This new analysis approach is a logic model incorporated with Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). It will be sitting at the logic tier to conduct the analysis without interferes the existing software application. The objectives of the logic model is not only to mitigate the time duration prolonging on root cause analysis activity. It is also to increase the accuracy of identifying the actual root cause during analysis activity. Furthermore, this proposed logic model contributes the new knowledge of analysis approach which helps to close the existing knowledge gap in AHP, that can be applied for software application root cause analysis.

Authors: El-Saadawi Magdi M. , Gouda Eid Abdelbaqi , Elhosseini Mostafa A. , Essa Mohamed Said
Published: January 2020

This paper uses Fractional-order PID control (FOPID) to control the speed of the DC motor.  FOPID is more flexible and confident in controlling control higher-order systems compared to classical PID. In this work, the FOPID controller tuning is carried out using different methods ranging from classical techniques to most recent heuristic methods are Fractional Grey wolf Optimization and Nelder-Mead. Moreover, parameter estimation of real-world DC motor is carried out experimentally using Matlab/Simulink interfaced to an Arduino Uno board. The feasibility of FOPID is demonstrated through applications to well-known DC motor case study and the estimated DC motor. Based on ISE, ITE, and ISTE performance measures, the proposed approach provide less settling time, rise time and comparable overshoot compared with existing literature approaches. A robustness assessment with differences in the DC motor components is performed. Simulation finding provide validation of the suggested work and the FOPID controller effectiveness as compared to classical PID controller in terms of robustness and control effect.
A Comparative Study of a Client Based Vendor Neutral Cloud QoS Monitoring Tool and Cloud Providers’ Platform Integrated QoS Monitoring Tools
Authors: Makokha Frankline , Chepken Christopher K. , Opiyo Elisha
Published: January 2020

Cloud service providers have a QoS monitoring capability integrated in their cloud platforms. This is to aid in monitoring the performance of the platform as well as for Service Level Agreement confirmation to the clients. Unfortunately this arrangement serves the interest of the cloud provider more than the cloud client since the service providers gauge their services using their own tools. This paper performs a comparative study on the capabilities of the client based vendor neutral QoS tool, developed from a vendor neutral QoS monitoring model against the cloud provider integrated QoS monitoring tools. The comparison was done on four global SaaS cloud service providers, namely SalesForce, Google, Hubspot and Shopify. From the comparative study, it emerged that the client based vendor neutral tool has more capabilities than the cloud provider integrated tools since it has the capability to monitor three key QoS metrics, namely service response time, service availability and service stability as opposed to the cloud providers’ tools which only have one quantitative capability. Further the vendor neutral model can be used across any cloud platform that is accessible via the web browser. This provides a capability for cross platform performance comparison for the various cloud providers. This can aid in decision making with regards to which cloud service provider to procure based on the desired performance.
The Influence of Attitude, Subjective Norm and Perceived Behavioral Control towards Organic Food Purchase Intention
Authors: Hasan Hana Novita , Suciarto Sentot
Published: January 2020

This study aims to determine the determinants of intention in buying organic food. This thesis focuses on the consumer of organic food products in Indonesia who use online media in Instagram to make their organic food purchases with Theory of Planned Behavior. The data collection in this study was conducted in two stages, namely pre-survey to analyze opinion leaders and types of organic foods that will be used as a limitation of the study and the second stage is the research questionnaire. The analysis technique used is qualitative data analysis. Based on the results of the study conclusions can be drawn as follows:  adherence to organic food and perceived behavioral control significantly influence buying intention in organic food, while subjective norms are found to have no significant effect on buying intention in organic food. Attitudes toward organic food have the strongest influence among the other two variables. Subjective norms have the lowest influence. Subjective norms or pressure from other people to consume organic food apparently do not have a significant effect because it does not originate from oneself (external) or is not their own volition, in contrast to the attitude and perceived behavior control variables that originate from oneself.
Evaluation on the Implementation of the COIS Values on the Teachers of Yayasan Penyelenggaraan Ilahi Indonesia, Semarang
Authors: Murwati Murwati , Ferijani Agatha
Published: January 2020

Strong personal traits such as reliable, discipline, devoted believer, high responsibility, willing to sacrifice, and put others needs above his/her own needs, are the personal traits that can build a prosperous society and a more developed country. It also can be said that the quality of someone is not merely measured from IQ (intelligence), but also from EQ (the growing traits). The real education must cover the formation of the whole humanity. The important component of an education institution is teachers. Thus, Yayasan Penyelenggaraan Ilahi Indonesia (YPII) with their vision and missions has formulated some traits (smart, authentic, faith to the Divine’s courtesy, and solider or COIS) that must be embraced by the teachers of YPII  in order to be able to form good characters of the students thoroughly. This is the reason for evaluation of the implementation of the COIS values on the teachers of YPII. The research used qualitative approach using Focus Group Discussion (FGD) to gather data. Further evaluation on the implementation of the COIS values was to explore the factors supported or obstructed the implementation of COIS values. The research concluded that the implementation of COIS values in the teachers of YPII Semarang is not good. The reason is lack of continuous guidance and coaching. Teacher awareness on their role as a role model for students develops.

Published: January 2020

The weaning of mechanical ventilation is a complex process and depends on many factors. The failure to wean mechanical ventilation may lead to prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation, which may increase the risk of ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP), morbidity, mortality, increased hospital costs and lower quality of hospital services. In the year 2016, in ICU RSUD Prof.Dr.Margono Soekarjo Purwokerto, in average there is a 20% failure of mechanical ventilation, if not followed up will adversely affect the patient. Factors investigated in this study included patient, nurses, collaboration and organization. The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors that affect implementation of the weaning of mechanical ventilation in ICU Room Prof.Dr.Margono Soekarjo General Hospital Purwokerto.The method used in this research was descriptive quantitative analytic design with cross sectional approach on 47 mechanical ventilation weaning activities. The sample selection was conducted by accidental sampling technique. Measurements for nurses were carried out using validated values including knowledge, experience and collaboration. While the observation sheet included the implementation of standard operating procedures for mechanical ventilation weaning, collaboration, patients APACHE II score and weaning results.The result of bivariate test showed that there were influence of patient (0.000), nurse (0,021), collaboration (0,024) and organization (0,011) to mechanical ventilation weaning activity. The result of logistic regression test showed that the patient was the most influential factor on mechanical ventilation weaning activity with 87% probability.Nurses should pay more attention to patients especially with high APACHE II scores (≥20) because of the risk of mechanical ventilation weaning failure. Assessment of weaning readiness must be carried out daily with appropriate assessment. While hospitals need to revise policies on mechanical ventilation weaning procedure and continue education and training programme related to patients criticality and collaboration.

Published: January 2020

Introduction: Recurrence of coronary heart disease (CHD) occurs due to non-compliance patients in managing CHD. One predictor of compliance with CHD management is illness cognition (IC), and IC can be improved through illness stimuli that can be done through health education in this study through workbooks. Purpose: This study aimed to identify the effect of the workbook on illness cognition in CHD patients. Methods. This research was a quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest control design. A pretest was done to the patient who was treated in the Cardiac Intensive Unit; posttest was carried out at the end of the first and second month after the pretest. The population was all post-acute CHD patients who were admitted to the cardiac intensive unit in one of the referral hospital in West Java, Indonesia. Purposive sampling was used and obtained 39 respondents who were divided into control and intervention groups. The instrument used was the illness cognition questionnaire (ICQ). Data were analyzed using the mean, median, percentage, and to estimate the effect of the workbook to the patients' IC used Wilcoxon and Friedman test. Results: The results showed an increase in acceptance and perceived benefits for both groups while in the helplessness showed the decrease scores. The p-value of IC comparison in the pre-test, post-test I, and II between groups for helplessness, acceptance, and perceived benefits were 0.118; 0.376; and 0.424, respectively. Besides, the p-value for differences of IC within control and intervention groups was less than 0.05. Conclusions: The workbook in this study generally did not provide significant IC changes to respondents.

Published: January 2020

Background: The process of grieving and depression can affect the treatment process and the condition of patients with coronary heart disease. The process experienced by the patient can be uncomplicated grief, complicated grief and depression. It is important to distinguish between uncomplicated grief, complicated grief and depression in response to normal and healthy loss and with response to the stresses of personal disorders that require more intensive intervention. The nurse is responsible for helping the patient go through the grieving process so as to prevent the adverse effects on the patient, so that the grieving and depression process are needed to determine the problems and to plan the nursing treatment.Objective: This study aimed to identify the process of grieving and depression in patients with coronary heart disease in the Intensive Room of Hospital Dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung.Methods: This research method was quantitative descriptive. The study population of patients with coronary heart disease was an average of 37 people per month. Consecutive Sampling technique was carried out for one month with 34 respondents. Data collection technique used in this sresearch was the Grief / Depression Assessment Inventory questionnaire that had been tested for validity with the face validity and content validity. The collected data were analyzed by analytic descriptive method using frequency distribution.Result: The results showed that from 34 respondents, most of them (94.1%) had complicated grief while few of them (5.9%) had uncomplicated grief. The highest response to grieving and depression was in the domain of attitude, thought, feeling, and loss.Conclusion: Based on the results of the study, most patients with coronary heart experienced complicated grief. Therefore it was important for nurses to facilitate patients to be able to consult with treating doctors, psychologists, religious leaders or psychiatrists.Keywords: Coronary Heart Disease, Depression, Grieving

Authors: Manueke Indriani Merlyn , Trisyani Yanny , Nurlaeci Nurlaeci
Published: January 2020

Background. Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) is the gold standard diagnostic test for Coronary Heart Disease (CHD). To minimize complications after PCI, patient activity is limited to bedrest for 2-24 hours. But the long bedrest can cause complaints of back pain and discomfort. This systematic review aims to identify the position changes in the first 6 hours after PCI for back pain and discomfort. Metode. Three electronic databases were used to carry out systematic searches namely Pubmed, CINAHL ebsco and ProQuest. The keyword combination is 'percutaneous coronary intervention' AND 'position change' OR 'changing position' OR 'early mobilization' NOT 'Literature Review' OR 'review of the literature' OR 'overview' OR 'Systematic Review' OR 'meta analysis’. The inclusion criteria used were articles with the last 12 years of research 2007 - 2019, quantitative research, English and Indonesian, peer review, randomized controlled trial and quasi experiment. The article search results found 49 articles on CINAHL ebsco, 81 articles on PubMed and 273 articles on ProQuest. A total of 13 articles met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. Results. From 13 articles, 6 articles reported a decrease in complaints of back pain and discomfort after changing positions in the first 6 hours in bed. 4 articles indicate the same thing after a change of position made the first 6 hours then walking beside the bed. And 3 articles reported a decrease in complaints of back pain and discomfort after ambulation in the first 6 hours. Conclusion. Changes in position within a period of 6 hours after PCI can reduce the incidence of back pain and discomfort that is felt by patients.Keywords: position changes, percutaneous coronary intervention
Obesity and Atrial Fibrillation
Authors: Medeiros de Vasconcelos J. Tarcísio
Published: January 2020

Atrial fibrillation is currently a central issue in the universe of cardiac arrhythmias. The increase in life expectancy that brought a substantial increase in its prevalence in the general population1 implied a marked deepening in the understanding of its electrophysiological mechanisms, in the identification of determining factors or potentiation of its occurrence and obviously in the development of effective strategies of treatment and prevention of its complications. Since the classic study of Wijffels et al., published in 1995 (Atrial Fibrillation Begets Atrial Fibrillation)2 which experimentally demonstrated that atrial frequencies artificially imposed to the atrial myocardium imply marked electrophysiological changes determining the very occurrence of atrial fibrillation, it became clear that once arrhythmia is initiated it potentiates its own occurrence and a constant process of feedback, whose final outcome over time is the installation of arrhythmia in a permanent form. However, for atrial fibrillation to occur, the presence of an adequate electrophysiological environment is necessary, consequent to the presence of several elements that aggress the atrial myocardium under the electrical and structural aspects.

Authors: Lee Byungjoo , Kim MyungUn
Published: January 2020

This study investigated on the conflict types, causes, and asymmetry, which can be witnessed between physicians and nurses who are the essential members of the hospital. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews of physicians and nurses who worked within the same department. The results of this exploratory research illustrated significant indications of task conflicts, relationship conflicts, and process conflicts, in accordance with Jehn’s(1997) study, among the two professions. Furthermore, there were some conflicts related to the typical in-role behavior caused by factors such as misperformance due to the lack of knowledge/skill and the partial completion or nonexecution of order along both occupations. Additionally, indications of conflict type asymmetry between physicians and nurses resulting from the differences of power and perception, and asymmetry on conflict causes even when experiencing the same type of conflict existed. The implications and the limitations of this study with invitation of suggestions to remedy such conflicts are discussed.

The effects of Work Flow and leisure satisfaction on employees’ affect:
Authors: Park SoRi , Ha YooJin , Chung EunKyoung , Sohn HyunKook , Sohn YoungWoo
Published: January 2020

In this paper, optimal experience that enhances positive affect and life satisfaction was explored based on the previous findings that defensive mechanism such as psychological detachment and relaxation does not promote positive affect but mastery experience does. Also the work-related factors and non-work-related factors among optimal experience were compared in terms of their influences on the arousal of positive affect. Lastly, the mediating effect of sleep quality on optimal experience was examined. The survey data were gathered from 142 conglomerate employees and work flow and leisure satisfaction were suggested as recovery mechanisms since each represents optimal experience in the work-related domain and non-work- related domain. In the first correlational analysis, psychological detachment and relaxation were negatively associated with negative affect whereas no significant correlation with positive affect was found, which was consistent with the previous findings. Work flow and leisure satisfaction were positively associated with positive affect while they are negatively associated with negative affect. In the hierarchical regression analysis, work flow and leisure satisfaction were compared in terms of their impacts on individuals’ affect. Predicting positive affect, work flow was the only significant predictor of the positive affect experienced next morning even when sex, age, school, usual positive/negative affect, and work satisfaction were controlled. Sleep quality significantly mediated the relation between work flow and positive affect experienced in the next morning. The result suggests that optimal experience such as work flow promotes a positive change not only in the affective level but also in the physiological level. The implications and limitations of this study and the directions for the future research were discussed.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among coaching leadership, contextual performance and creative behavior. Specifically, This study investigated not only the main effect of leader’s coaching leadership on subordinate's contextual performance and creative behavior, but also the role of organizational virtuousness and learning goal orientation on moderating these relationships. Survey was conducted to 250 employees working for 3 months at various korean companies. After elimination of inadequate data, 220 data were obtained for statistical analysis. Three steps of analysis procedures were carried out. First, factor analyses were conducted for identifying dimensions of coaching leadership, contextual performance, and organizational virtuousness. The results showed that factor structures of each of the variables were identical to those of previous studies. Second, the results of correlation analyses showed that coaching leadership was positively related to both contextual performance and creative behavior. Third, the results of hierarchial regression analyses showed that while organizational virtuousness moderated the relationship between coaching leadership and contextual performance, learning goal orientation did not moderated the relationship between coaching leadership and creative behavior. The implications and limitations of this study and the directions for future research were discussed on the basis of the results.

Published: January 2020

The purposes of this study were to examine the influence of emotional intelligence on adaptive performance, the mediating effect of self-efficacy on the relationship between emotional intelligence and adaptive performance, and the moderating effects of change leadership and climate for innovation on the relationship between self-efficacy and adaptive performance. Data were gathered from 198 employees who were working in various organizations in Korea. To reduce the effect from common method bias, the adaptive performance was rated by both self and others(one hundred and ninety-eight peers or supervisors). As results, there was significantly positive relationship between emotional intelligence and adaptive performance. Self-efficacy partially mediated the relationships between emotional intelligence and self-rating adaptive performance, and fully mediated the relationships between emotional intelligence and other-rating adaptive performance. Change leadership moderated the relationship between self-efficacy and other-rating adaptive performance because the relationship was more positive when change leadership was high than low. Also climate for innovation had the moderating effect on the relationship self-efficacy and both self-rating and other-rating adaptive performance because the relationship was more positive when climate for innovation was high than low. Finally, implication of results and future research tasks were discussed with limitations.
The secrets behind talents companies crave
Authors: Whang SangMin , Kwon TaeYon
Published: January 2020

This research is aimed at identifying the features of ‘talented candidates’ sought after by professional human resources and recruiters in major companies. First, this research investigated how they perceive potential candidates by examining various standards with which candidates are evaluated in recruiting process. Various perceptions of ‘talented candidates’ was summarized into a questionnaire of 99 Q statements. The participants were then responded into ‘who you want to recruit’ and ‘who you don't want to recruit.’ The responses were subsequently subdivided by factor analysis employing the Q- Methodology. Wide perception of people’s for ‘talented candidate’ can be epitomized into a person who generates hard results, leads co-workers, and remains loyal to the organization with a proper dose of balance in professional life. They all seemed to embody the properties of a ‘passionate CEO’, an ‘eminent field expert’, or a ‘trophy-winning consultant’. To the contrary, the images of candidates unwanted by companies could be associated with the features of workers being laid off. These were a ‘couch potato with a sigh’, a ‘barely-surviver’ or ‘greedy-for-security’. Further subdividing those wanted and unwanted by companies leads to 6 categories of talents. Those wanted by companies were categorized into: ‘earlier company founder’, ‘corporate-fitter’, and ‘contract-based’. Those unwanted by companies were categorized into: ‘always-being-sacrificed’, ‘spec-builder’, and ‘need-based employee’. The categorization made clear there is a difference between talents companies crave and talents wanting to be hired, which reveals a dichotomy between a candidate and a recruiter. In the case of professional HR officials and recruiters, it was clear that a candidate with certain predispositions at company side for company were wanted more.

Se ha podido constatar significación estadística de la influencia que ejerce el número de fármacos en la adecuación terapéutica (p< 0.001). En el resto de variables, se ha observado una relación importante pero sin significación estadística.Se puede decir por tanto, como conclusión, que la adecuación terapéutica de la población estudiada, es aceptable. Hay que destacar el interés de estos estudios en geriatría.
Social-Emotional Educational Leadership: A Study of Scale Adaptation
Authors: Argon Türkan , Uylas Sümeyra Dilek
Published: January 2020

The purpose of this study is to adapt Social-Emotional Educational Leadership
(SEL) scale into the Turkish language. The research was implemented on the
286 primary and secondary school teachers. The one-dimensional model which
was consisted of 29 items was found coherent in the confirmatory factor
analysis. In the adaptation study of Social-Emotional Education Leadership
Scale, firstly language adaptation was done and then validity and reliability
studies were conducted. Internal consistency, item and factor analysis studies
were conducted to examine psychometric features of the scale. In terms of
statistical validity and reliability of Social-emotional Leadership Scale,
Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA)
and Cronbach’s Alpha techniques were utilized. The result of reliability analysis
was .98, and the scale was found reliable. Confirmatory factor analysis’ results
show that scale’s original one-dimensional model was appropriate for the
Turkish sample (x²=1231.19, df=377, p=.0000, χ2/df=3.26, RMSEA=.08,
NFI=.98, NNFI=.99, CFI=.99, IFI=.99, SRMR=.03, GFI=.77, AGFI=.74). In this
case, the scale is considered as a reliable and valid instrument in terms of
measuring social-emotional educational leadership degree in the education
process of education leaders in Turkey.

Clustering as a fundamental unsupervised learning is considered an important method of data analysis, and K-means is demonstrably the most popular clustering algorithm. In this paper, we consider clustering on feature space to solve the low efficiency caused in the Big Data clustering by K-means. Different from the traditional methods, the algorithm guaranteed the consistency of the clustering accuracy before and after descending dimension, accelerated K-means when the clustering centeres and distance functions satisfy certain conditions, completely matched in the preprocessing step and clustering step, and improved the efficiency and accuracy. Experimental results have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) is an inflammatory disorder and an acute immune-mediated demyelinating neuropathy that causes reduced signal transmissions, progressive muscle weakness, and paralysis. The etiology of the syndrome still remains controversial and uncertain. GBS can be initiated and triggered by respiratory tract infections such as influenza, and intestinal infections such as Campylobacter jejuni. In addition, there is considerable evidence suggesting links between influenza vaccination and GBS. As reported previously, the incidence of GBS in individuals receiving swine flu vaccine was about one to two cases per million. Despite the influenza vaccine efficacy, its association with an immune-mediated demyelinating process can be challenging as millions of people get vaccinated every year. In this review we will discuss the association between influenza infection and vaccination with GBS by focusing on the possible immunopathological mechanisms.
Role of hepatokines in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
Authors: Ke Yini , Xu Chengfu , Lin Jin , Li Youming
Published: January 2020

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is closely associated with metabolic diseases like type 2 diabetes and obesity. In recent decades, accumulating evidence has revealed that the hepatokines, proteins mainly secreted by the liver, play important roles in the development of NAFLD by acting directly on the lipid and glucose metabolism. As a member of organokines, the hepatokines establish the communication between the liver and the adipose, muscular tissues. In this review, we summarize the current understanding of the hepatokines and how they modulate the pathogenesis of metabolic disorders especially NAFLD.

Background and Objectives

Preoperative diagnosis of gastric glomus tumor is very difficult, and there are few reports regarding the endoscopic treatment of glomus tumor of the stomach. Our aim is to provide a retrospective assessment of the imaging features of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and treatment of choice of gastric glomus tumor.

Methods

A database of all patients with gastric glomus tumor who was treated at Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University between March 2011 and March 2017 was retrospectively analyzed. The EUS characteristics and patients’ clinical data as well as their treatment were reviewed. At the same time, we compared EUS characteristics of gastric glomus tumor with that of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GISTs), leiomyomas, schwannomas, and ectopic pancreas.

Results

Eleven patients (3 male and 8 female patients) were included in the present study. The patients’ age ranged from 37 to 62 years (mean age, 50.1 years). Ten patients received EUS examination. Eight lesions were presented with mild-hyperechoic round or oval mass; one lesion was mild-hyperechoic oval mass with hypoechoic spots; one lesion was hypoechoic oval mass. One patient received endoscopic full-thickness resection; 3 patients were treated by endoscopic submucosal dissection; and laparoscopic resection was performed for 7 patients.

Conclusions

Gastric glomus has typical EUS features to differentiate from other submucosal tumors. Compared with surgery, endoscopic resection is also a safe and effective treatment of choice for gastric glomus tumor.
The conversion of heights of the benchmarks of the detailed vertical reference network into the PL-EVRF2007-NH frame
Authors: Borowski Łukasz , Banasik Piotr
Published: January 2020

The paper describes the problem of conversion of heights to the European Vertical Reference Frame 2007 for Poland (PL-EVRF2007-NH). The subject of the study is height data, and especially the detailed vertical reference network. The aim of the article is to present an alternative method of conversion to the one recommended by the Polish Head Office of Geodesy and Cartography. The proposed approach is characterised by a low implementation cost while maintaining the required accuracy.

The publication is illustrated by the case of Kętrzyn district (in the north-east part of Poland). The local reference network was converted from Kronstad’60 to PL-EVRF2007-NH in 2017.
