Published: April 2020

Background : Contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has been actively used in the detection of lesions in many organs especially in kidney and liver, but there is no report in evaluation of preoperative chemotherapy for Wilms tumor in children.Methods: 8 children with Wilms tumor were enrolled in this study. All patients accepted preoperative chemotherapy for 4-8 weeks. Each child accepted CEUS examination for 3 times. The image files and the data were analyzed through software. Results: The group included 8 cases with tumor volume from 155.71 to 1624.16 cm3. 6 patients accepted preoperative chemotherapy for 8 weeks before surgery, 2 cases underwent preoperative chemotherapy for 4 weeks. Each child accepted CEUS examination for 3 times and no one showed discomfort to the SonoVue contrast agent. By the comparison from the 3 times CEUS, tumor volume in most of the children was significantly reduced, and the blood perfusion intensity in the tumor was prominently weakened. The results of linear regression showed that the changes of PI between the first and second CEUS examinations and between the second and third CEUS examinations had correlation with the reduction volume of Wilms tumor.Conclusions: It is the first time to apply quantitative analysis of CEUS in evaluation of preoperative chemotherapy for Wilms tumor in children. CEUS is a safe examination in children. CEUS videos could show clearly the changes of tumor perfusion during preoperative chemotherapy. PI can precisely reflect the degree of sensitivity of tumor to chemotherapy in early stage of preoperative chemotherapy.

Published: April 2020

Background: The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has become a public health emergency of major international concern. Real-time RT-PCR assays are recommended for diagnosis of COVID-19. Here we report a rare case of COVID-19 with multiple negative results for PCR assays outside Wuhan, China. Case presentation: A 32-year old male was admitted to our hospital because of 6 days of unexplained fever on January 29, 2020. He had come from Wuhan city 10 days before admission. 5 days before admission, no abnormality was noted in laboratory test, chest radiography, and nasopharyngeal swab test for the SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid. The patient was treated with ibuprofen for alleviating fever. On admission, chest computed tomography showed multiple ground-glass opacities in right lower lung field. COVID-19 was suspected. 3 times of nasopharyngeal swab specimens were collected after admission. However, none of the specimens were positive. The patient was confirmed with COVID-19 after fifth SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid test. He was treated with lopinavir/ritonavir, recombinant human interferon alfa-2b inhalation, methylprednisolone. After 18 days of treatment, he was discharged with improved symptoms, lung lesions and negative results of nasopharyngeal swab. Conclusion: This case reminds clinician that a patient with high clinical suspicion of COVID-19 but multiple negative RT-PCR result should not be taken out of isolation. A combination of patient’s exposure history, clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, and typical imaging findings plays a vital role in making preliminary diagnosis and guide early isolation and treatment. Repeat swab tests are helpful in diagnosis for this kind of patients.

Published: April 2020

The epidemic of COVID-19 has now spread globally and affected over 110 countries. As of Mar 10th, using publicly available data and official news reports in Henan province, we tracked a total of 1272 cases and a retrospective study was conducted to investigate the related factors in COVID-19 spread and control. We confirmed 554 primary patients had travel or residential history of Wuhan in the recent 2 weeks. Secondary cases accounted for 77.9% (141/181) among all the patients aged 61 or older, in whom contacted with unconfirmed returnees from Wuhan was responsible for 27.0% (38/141). The median incubate period is 7 (IQR, 4-10) days by analyzing time information in 469 cases. For 442 patients with discharge dates, the duration from onset to cure is 19 (IQR, 15-23) days. The time from onset to seeking care at a hospital varied in age groups, and differed between primary and secondary cases. Patients visiting different hospitals affected the time from seeking care to cure. Thus, our results showed the spread of COVID-19 and factors associated with outcomes of patients in Henan province, which helps to understand the epidemiological features outside of the epidemic area and control the disease in other regions and countries.
Структурно-фазовые превращения и эволюция ближнего порядка в системе Fe-Cr в процессе механического сплавления
Authors: Порсев В.Е. , Ульянов А.Л. , Дорофеев Г.А.
Published: April 2020

57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction are used to study in detail the mechanism of mechanical alloying in a planetary ball mill of the Fe-Cr nanocrystalline system in the concentration range from 20 to 48 at.% Cr. It is established that mechanical alloying proceeds in one stage at a concentration of up to 30 at.% Cr and in three stages at higher concentrations. The change in the mechanical alloying mechanism occurs as iron is saturated with chromium and is caused by the inversion of the mixing energy sign from negative to positive.

The effect of elastic deformations on the ferromagnetic resonance spectrum of submicron polycrystalline films of yttrium iron garnet obtained by ion-beam sputtering on silicon and gallium arsenide substrates was studied. Magnetoelastic constants of the films on both substrates were calculated using the magnitude of the frequency shift of the absorption maximum in the ferromagnetic resonance spectrum. The value of constants did not exceed 16% of the known values for bulk polycrystalline garnet. The approach to increase the efficiency of electrical frequency tuning in composite multiferroic structures based on combination of static and dynamic (caused by the piezoelectric effect) deformations was proposed.
Meeting the Other in Literature and ELT through the Critical Analysis of a Short Story
Authors: Simoneli Barbara Cortat , Finardi Kyria Rebeca
Published: April 2020

This paper reflects about the role of English, Literature and teachers’ beliefs in English language teaching (ELT), addressing notions of native speakerism and Otherness in the critical analysis of James Kirkup’s (1994) short story “The Teacher of American Business English”. The methodology is qualitative and based on Content/Discourse Analysis linking the themes addressed in the story to the literature review that includes the role of English, the contact of languages and cultures, the development of beliefs and identities, and the socio-historical context of such occurrences. The critical analysis shows evidence of prejudiced practices and discourses about the varieties and differences of cultures and languages by the main character in the short story. The study concludes that the views found in the story may be representative of many hegemonic, prejudice views of cultures and languages found in pedagogical practices around the world and as such contributes to the critical reflection on the role of English, Literature and teacher’s beliefs as well as the power of critical analysis based on Literature to aid intercultural encounters/meeting the Other.

Authors: ARYATI WIDYA DWI , WINARKO MUHAMMAD SIDDIQ , SUSANTO GERRY MAY , YANUAR ARRY
Published: April 2020

Objective: New psychoactive substances (NPS) have been rapidly developed to avoid legal entanglement. In 2013–2018, the number of cathinonederivedcompounds increased from 30 to 89. In 2016, of 56 NPS compounds, 21 were identified as cannabinoid-derived; only 43 were regulated inthe narcotics law. Artificial intelligence, such as machine and deep learning, is a method of data processing and object recognition, including humanposes and image classifications.Methods: Herein, the machine and deep learning methods for cathinone- and cannabinoid-derived compound classification were compared usingpharmacophore modeling as the reference method. For classifying cathinone-derived compounds, the structure was transformed into fingerprints,which was used as a learning parameter for the machine and deep learning methods. Contrarily, the physicochemical properties and fingerprint shapewere utilized as learning materials for the deep learning method to classify the cannabinoid-derived substances.Results: Consequently, in the cathinone-derived compound classification, the deep learning method produced the accuracy and Cohen kappa valuesof 0.9932 and 0.992, respectively. Furthermore, such values in the pharmacophore modeling method were higher than those in the machine learningmethod (0.911 and 0.708 vs. 0.718 and 0.673, respectively). In the cannabinoid-derived compound classification, the deep learning method with thefingerprint form had the highest accuracy and Cohen kappa values (0.9904 and 0.9876). Such values in this method with the descriptor form werehigher than those in the pharmacophore modeling method (0.8958 and 0.8622 vs. 0.68 and 0.396, respectively).Conclusion: The deep learning method has the potential in the NPS classification.
Impact of cytoreductive surgery on outcomes of metastatic appendiceal carcinoma: a real-world, population-based study
Authors: Abdel-Rahman Omar
Published: April 2020

Aim:
To evaluate the impact of cytoreductive surgery on the outcomes of patients with metastatic appendiceal carcinoma.
Methods:
Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database was accessed and patients with metastatic appendiceal carcinoma diagnosed (2010–2015) were reviewed. Kaplan–Meier survival estimates/log-rank testing were then used to assess overall survival outcomes according to cytoreductive surgery. Multivariable Cox regression analysis was then used to evaluate factors affecting cancer-specific survival. Factors included in this model were age, race, sex, stage and histology and cytoreductive surgery.
Results:
A total of 1339 patients with metastatic appendiceal carcinoma were included in the current study. Using Kaplan–Meier survival estimates to evaluate overall survival, patients with surgery for metastatic disease have better overall survival compared with patients without surgery for metastatic disease (p < 0.001). Stratifying survival analysis according to histology, the overall survival benefit from surgery for the metastases seems to be limited to patients with mucinous adenocarcinoma (p = 0.002) rather than patients with nonmucinous adenocarcinoma (p = 0.401). Multivariable Cox regression analysis was then conducted to evaluate factors predicting cancer-specific survival. The following factors were associated with worse cancer-specific survival: African-American race (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.356; 95% CI: 1.036–1.774; p = 0.026), more advanced stage (HR: 3.910; 95% CI: 2.735–5.588; p < 0.001), nonmucinous adenocarcinoma (HR for signet ring carcinoma vs mucinous adenocarcinoma: 2.119; 95% CI: 1.674–2.683; p < 0.001) and no surgical resection of metastatic disease (HR: 1.273; 95% CI: 1.067–1.519; p < 0.001).
Conclusion:
The current study suggests that among patients with metastatic appendiceal carcinoma, surgical cytoreduction of metastatic disease is associated with improved outcomes for patients with mucinous adenocarcinoma but not in patients with nonmucinous adenocarcinoma.

Ex-combatants at the polls: Exploring focus groups and electoral meaning
Authors: Söderström Johanna
Published: April 2020

This paper investigates the meaning attached to elections among ex-combatants in Liberia, in relation to the historic elections of 2005. These elections were generally considered successful, and should therefore be instrumental in the consolidation of democracy; this paper investigates the extent of such consolidation that can be seen in their wake. In particular, the meaning attached to elections is described in terms of voting behaviour and motivation, as well as the application of the equality principle, and finally in relation to the perceived legitimacy of the elections, based on focus group discussions carried out in the spring of 2008 in Liberia. This paper also tries to gauge the advantages and disadvantages of using focus groups as a data collection method. The creation of trust in a well designed focus group, which given the field of research – post-conflict context – may be especially important. The conclusions presented in this paper point to problems vis-à-vis the legitimacy of the elections which may have long term implications for the consolidation of democracy in Liberia. However, other areas, in particular attitudes towards vote buying, show more positive tendencies.
Influence of Partially Purify Enzyme in Experimental Cheddar Cheese Production
Authors: Mylvaganam Pagthinathan
Published: April 2020

Calf rennet is the main enzyme component has been widely used as a milk clotting enzyme for cheese making. The high price of traditional rennets and ethical consideration associated with their use promoted the new rennet substitute. The cheeses were studied to determined difference chemical, biochemical and sensory characteristics throughout of 2 months of ripening. The cheese yield produced from commercial enzyme was (p<0.05) higher than cheese produce from kesinai enzymes. Both cheese samples were compositionally alike except for moisture, protein contents and pH. In both cheese moisture contents declined (p<0.05) with ripening period while pH was increased with ripening time. Total nitrogen (TN), non protein nitrogen (NPN) and non casein nitrogen (NCN) were (p<0.05) higher in whey of cheese made with kesinai enzyme than cheese made with commercial enzyme. The amount of NPN and NCN found in cheese made with kesinai enzyme was (p<0.001) higher than in cheese made with commercial enzyme. NPN and NCN values were increased (p<0.001) throughout the ripening period in both cheeses. Cheese made with commercial enzyme exhibited slightly higher level of free amino acids than cheese made with kesinai enzyme. But free fatty acids compositions have shown similar changes in both types of cheese thought the ripened time. Textual characteristics such as hardness, gumminess and chewiness increased in both types of cheese during early stage of ripening and decrease gradually at end of ripening whereas springiness, adhesiveness and cohesiveness were showed similar changes in both cheeses during the ripened period. The principal component analysis (PCA) of electronic nose sensor data has been studied using “Z”nose. The results indicated that, the presence of 7 volatile (aroma) common compounds in both cheeses. PCA analysis was performed to discriminate the cheeses with their ripening time.
The effects of extensive listening on Vietnamese students’ listening skills
Authors: Le Thinh Van , Pham Sa Kim
Published: April 2020

University students in Vietnam do not have enough time to practise their listening inside the classroom. Outside the classroom, they do not have chance to practice it. To supplement time constraint in the classroom, extensive listening was employed to assist students to develop their listening skills. The study aims to investigate whether extensive listening ameliorates students’ listening proficiency. Two groups of students from two intact classes: the control group (n = 32) and the experimental group (n = 32) were selected. Before the semester started, all students sat for the pre-listening test.  After that, students in the experimental group were advised to listen to fifteen suggested sound files with one file for each week. They were also instructed some listening strategies to self-practise at home while students in the control group did not do any listening tasks at home. After 15 weeks, students in both groups took the post-listening test. The post-interview was conducted to explore how students practiced their listening out of school. The results showed that the experimental group outperformed the control group in the post-test. Some students in the experimental group reported that they practised listening many times and tried to learn as much vocabulary as possible.

Authors: Kichera Nadiia
Published: April 2020

The main research objective of the study presented in this article was the ethnopolitics of the Slovak Republic, one of the V4 countries, namely the legislative base and the institutional ensuring the functioning of a system of protection of the national and ethnic minorities’ rights. Slovakia is one of the postsocialist countries that has made the transition to democracy on the way to joining the European Union. The country’s authorities conducted a series of reforms in the ethnopolitical sphere in accordance with European standards. An ethnopolitical picture and separate ethnopolitical challenges in the Slovak Republic are similar, especially in the border areas. Thus, the main goal of the ethnopolitics of Slovakia is to secure the rights of all minorities, interethnic tolerance and ensure the intercultural dialogue. Representatives of national and ethnic minorities in the Slovak Republic have a number of rights and opportunities, directly dependent on citizens whether they can organize themselves and use existing mechanisms for the benefit of their own community. In addition, the state's ethnopolitical strategy provides bilateral cooperation with the homelands of individual minorities. The bilateral cooperation between Ukraine and Slovakia is one of the examples. Bilateral cooperation between Ukraine and the Slovak Republic in the field of protection and ensuring of minority rights is based on the work of the Intergovernmental Slovak-Ukrainian Commission for National Minorities, Education and Culture. The recommendations of the commission are an important tool for constructive dialogue between Slovakia and Ukraine, ensuring good neighborly relations.

Synthesis of wireless telecommunication network with adaptation to refusals of central elements of average and high intensity
Authors: Kruglikov S. V. , Zalizka A. Yu.
Published: April 2020

A technique of synthesis of a wireless digital communication network with package switching, providing transfer of video messages of real time scale between elements of multipurpose information-operating system in conditions of high failure rate of central elements, is considered. As conceptual model of a telecommunication network – the network of the mixed structure, including multipurpose devices, constructed on the basis of standards of a broadband radio access with switching of packages and two interconnected levels of network interaction of elements (local and main) is accepted. The technique of synthesis of a wireless network is based on the multilevel, combined adaptation of a telecommunication network in the conditions of refusals of central elements, which primary goal is rational change of parameters, functions of network elements in close interrelation with purposeful transformation of structure of telecommunication system subnetworks. The main objective of carrying out the combined adaptation of the network consists in achievement of necessary throughput of communication system depending on degree of failure rate of central elements. Properties of multilevel adaptation were investigated in the course of realization of the combined (structurally-parametrical) synthesis with use of the aggregate approach of modelling of difficult technical systems. Efficiency of the specified technique is proven by the results of the imitating experiment with use of the aggregate model of a wireless network of data transmission with switching of packages, obtained previously. The experimental data, received at natural research of networks of a broadband radio communication on the basis of standards 802.11 b/g/n, have shown, that time of processing of packages of a message essentially depends on use of existing ways of adaptation. In particular, application of effective algorithms of adaptation (both parametrical and structural) will allow to reduce the time of finding of details (packages) in broadband communication devices by several times and, thereby, to provide demanded throughput of the network functioning in the conditions of refusals of central elements.

Linear and mass ranges of protons and argon ions in aluminum, alumina, bismuth, and W77.7Cu22.3 composite shields were calculated using the SRIM software package. It is shown that the protection efficiency against high-energy ions by materials with large atomic charge (Z) values is higher, from the position of linear ranges of particles, and lower, from the position of mass ranges, in comparison with materials with low Z values. The dependence of the threshold energy on the serial number of particles for aluminum, bismuth, and composite W77.7Cu22.3 shields is determined. The ionization loss spectra for the passage of both protons with an energy of 20 MeV and krypton ions with an energy of 7.75 GeV through multilayer Bi/Al/Al2O3 and Al/Al2O3/Bi structures were calculated. These results showed that the braking of high-energy particles in the case when the first layer contains a heavy element is higher than in the case when the first layer contains a light element. The influence of the sequence in the arrangement and thickness of the layers in the multilayer structures of the Bi/Al/Al2O3 system on the efficiency of protection against high-energy ions was studied. It is shown that the nature of the dependences R(E) and ion energy losses are determined by the sequence of arrangement of individual layers, which is due to the difference in the conversion of the spectra by the material of the first layer. The studied radiation shields can be used in aerospace and nuclear technologies, as well as in many scientific and medical devices, and can be used to protect against the effects of a wide range of ionizing radiation (electrons, protons, heavy charged particles, etc.).

Dispositional and situational attribution of COVID-19 risk: A content analysis of response typology (Version: 1)
Authors: Dunning Alice , Travis Elizabeth , Pownall Madeleine
Published: April 2020

In the current COVID-19 pandemic, there have been official health recommendations of social distancing, thorough handwashing, and self-isolation to prevent the spread of the virus. However, compliance with these recommendations has been mixed. We suggest that non-compliance may be justified by one’s (mis)perception of their own COVID-19 risk. In this paper, we explore the dispositional and situational attribution of self-reported COVID-19 risk, as per Heider’s Attribution Theory. We conducted a content and framework analysis of responses to an online survey, in which participants (N = 114) were asked to rate their likelihood of contracting the COVID-19 virus, before providing textual responses to explain their rating. Overall, we observed that generally, participants who rated their risk to be low made more dispositional attributions (i.e. attributing their risk to factors such as age and own personal hygiene) whereas higher risk participants made more situational attributions (i.e. attributing COVID-19 risk to government decision-making and other people’s cleanliness). A finalised framework of five response typologies including intrinsic, behavioural, balanced, contextual, and disengaged responses was systematically applied to the data. These results will be discussed in the context of attribution theory and risk perception, whilst providing future recommendations for research that tackles non-compliance of COVID-19 behaviours.

O ensino do esporte no Brasil sofre forte influência do modelo de alto rendimento desde a década de 1970. As conquista internacionais impulsionaram o aumento do número de praticantes no país. O modelo de ensino dos esportes, pautado sobretudo na valorização do gesto técnico e na fragmentação do jogo, sofreu fortes influencias desse período. Tendências atuais para o ensino do esporte, por outro lado, apontam para a importância da compreensão da dinâmica dos esportes, antes da especialização dos gestos técnicos. Surgiram ainda propostas de classificação dos esportes que apresentam uma organização das diferentes modalidades de acordo com a lógica interna, ou seja, as características comuns, que exigem dos jogadores uma atuação de modo específico durante sua prática. Atualmente, o documento da Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) indica para a disciplina de Educação Física o ensino do esporte à partir de uma classificação elaborada com base na lógica interna, ou seja: marca, precisão, técnico combinatório, rede/quadra dividida ou parede de rebote, campo e taco, invasão ou territorial e combate. Partindo de reflexões sobre as tendências atuais da Pedagogia do Esporte para o processo de ensino-aprendizagem do tênis de campo e do voleibol, este trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar alguns apontamentos iniciais sobre as possibilidades de ensino dos esportes de rede/parede. Entende-se que, procedendo das classificações de esportes que propõem a organização desses a partir da lógica interna, é possível destacar elementos comuns para o ensino dessas modalidades na fase de iniciação, por meio de jogos que proporcionem aos alunos a compreensão da lógica tática e favoreçam a transferência de aprendizagem de uma modalidade para outra, no momento oportuno.

Североафриканский фронтир: беджа и их соседи: North African Frontier: Bija and their neighbors
Authors: Pylypchuk Yaroslav
Published: April 2020

This paper deals with to the history of relations between the Bija with their neighbors. Bija were subjects of Ancient Egypt and Meroe. They are integrated into these societies without any problems and have been a vassal tribe of them. Beja were restless neighbors of the Roman Empire. They raided Upper Egypt during the III-V centuries AC. Attempts to establish a relationship with them like with the Berbers were unsuccessful. Particularly violent conflicts were a Bija with Christian states – Byzantium Empire, Nubia and Aksum. Some time Bija paid tribute to the Nubians and Axumites. Christianity did not get spread among them, Islam was adopted syncretic form after several centuries of contact with the Arabs. Islamization has been made possible thanks to the settlement of Arabs in the land Bija and participation in the Intercontinental trade. For all their neighbors were threatening nomadic Bija, which made raids to capture people in captivity and selling them into slavery. Bija attacked the Egyptian dominions of the Arab Caliphate, despite the fact that they were formally paid tribute to Arabs.
