Mantle flow pattern associated with the Patagonian slab window determined from azimuthal anisotropy
Authors: Ben Mansour Walid , Wiens Douglas , Mark Hannah , Russo Raymond , Richter Andreas , Marderwald Eric , Barrientos Sergios
Published: July 2022

Geological processes in Southern Patagonia are affected by the Patagonian slab window, formed by the subduction of the Chile Ridge and subsequent northward migration of the Chile Triple Junction. Using shear wave splitting analysis, we observe strong splitting of up to 2.5 s with an E-W fast direction just south of the triple junction and the edge of the subducting Nazca slab. This region of strong anisotropy is coincident with low uppermost mantle shear velocities and an absence of mantle lithosphere, indicating that the mantle flow occurs in a warm, low-viscosity, 200-300 km wide shallow mantle channel just to the south of the Nazca slab. The region of flow corresponds to a volcanic gap caused by depleted mantle compositions and absence of slab-derived water. In most of Patagonia to the south of this channel, splitting fast directions trend NE-SW consistent with large-scale asthenospheric flow.
Effects of voluntary orienting of attention on temporal estimation
Authors: Ranzini Mariagrazia , Romeo Zaira , Zorzi Marco , Mioni Giovanna
Published: July 2022

Exogenous orienting of attention can affect the mental processing of time, suggesting the existence of a spatial representation for temporal durations, with shorter and longer durations represented on the left and on the right of a mental time line, respectively. In this study, we investigated the effects of voluntary shifts of attention on the perception of temporal durations. Participants were asked to follow with their gaze a dot moving on the screen (smooth pursuit conditions), or to fix a central dot (control condition), while listening to an acoustic stimulus (pink noise) varying in duration (from 600ms to 1400ms). Upon stimuli offset, they had to reproduce the temporal duration of the acoustic stimulus by pressing a button on the keyboard. Data from two experiments were collected online. In Experiment 1 the dot moved horizontally, either leftward or rightward from the screen centre. In Experiment 2 the dot moved vertically, either upward or downward from the screen centre. Experiment 3 was a laboratory-based replication of Experiment 1. The results showed, across the three experiments, a tendency to overestimate stimulus duration, which decreased with increasing duration. When the dot moved horizontally (Experiments 1 and 3), smooth pursuit induced smaller overestimation as compared to the control condition. We observed an effect of pursuit direction only in Experiment 3, where rightward pursuit induced larger overestimation as compared to leftward pursuit. This effect, however, was not consistent across all the analyses. Taken together, our results indicate that the spatialization of time is not systematic. We suggest that different effects of voluntary and involuntary attention on time processing, as well as task characteristics, might contribute to explaining these contrasting findings.
Emotional responding to overt and subtle social exclusion among young women who engage in nonsuicidal self-injury
Authors: Robinson Kealagh , Boyes Mark Edward , Wilson Marc , Grimshaw Gina M.
Published: July 2022

People who engage in nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) consistently report greater emotion reactivity and dysregulation than their peers. However, evidence that these self-reports reflect an amplified emotional response under controlled conditions is limited. Here we test the effects of both subtle and overt social exclusion, to determine whether self-reported emotion dysregulation reflects responses to real-time emotional challenge for people who self-injure. We recruited 100 young women with past-year NSSI and 100 without NSSI to an online experiment. Participants took part in a baseline social inclusion ball-tossing game, followed by either an overt or subtle social exclusion ball-tossing game, while we measured negative mood and belongingness. Despite reporting greater emotion reactivity (d = 1.40) and dysregulation (d = 1.63) than controls, women with past-year NSSI showed no differences in negative mood or belongingness ratings in response to either overt or subtle social exclusion. Within the NSSI group, exploratory analyses found greater endorsement of intrapersonal functions predicted greater negative mood following social exclusion (β = .19).Given that amplified emotional responding is central to prominent theoretical models of NSSI, findings highlight the need to better understand the divergence in findings between self-reported emotion dysregulation and real-time emotion responding among people who self-injure.
Gratitude and Academic Motivation among Japanese High School Students: A Nine-week Gratitude Journal Intervention Study
Authors: Yamanaka Tsukasa , Nawa Norberto Eiji , Yamagishi Noriko
Published: July 2022

Gratitude interventions can positively impact student motivation and engagement. We assessed the effects of keeping a nine-week gratitude journal on the academic motivation of senior high school students. Participants were thirty-four Japanese students who had already been admitted to a university at the time of the study. Students were divided into two groups; those assigned to the gratitude group were asked to keep a daily record of events that had made them feel grateful, and those assigned to an active control group were asked to keep a record of events that evoked positive emotions in general. The intervention was part of an assignment aimed at advancing the students’ proficiency in English. Intervention effects were examined using the Academic Motivation Scale. While the academic motivation of students in the control group significantly worsened during the period of the intervention, the same decline was not observed among the students in the gratitude group. The current results point to a specific effect yielded by continuously engaging with the emotion of gratitude. Although the journaling activity in both groups likely tapped into personal experiences of positive valence, results showed that only the continuous engagement with the emotion of gratitude had a protective effect against declines in academic motivation. This indicates that gratitude may have a distinct effect from other positive emotions on goal-oriented behavior in general and motivation in particular: students who cultivate the habit of engaging with the emotion of gratitude may see a positive impact on their motivation.
Evaluating the Replicability of Social Priming Studies
Authors: Mac Giolla Erik , Karlsson Simon , Neequaye David A. , Bergquist Magnus
Published: July 2022

To assess the replicability of social priming findings we reviewed the extant close replication attempts in the field. In total, we found 70 close replications, that replicated 49 unique findings. Ninety-four percent of the replications had effect sizes smaller than the effect they replicated and only 17% of the replications reported a significant p-value in the original direction. The strongest predictor of replication success was whether or not the replication team included at least one of the authors of the original paper. Twelve of the 18 replications with at least one original author produced a significant effect in the original direction and the meta-analytic average of these studies suggest a significant priming effect (d = 0.40, 95% CI[0.23; 0.58]). In stark contrast, none of the 52 replications by independent research teams produced a significant effect in the original direction and the meta-analytic average was virtually zero (d = 0.002, 95% CI[-0.03; 0.03]). We argue that these results have shifted the burden of proof back onto advocates of social priming. Successful replications from independent research teams will likely be required to convince sceptics that social priming exists at all.
The keys to the future? An examination of associative versus discriminative accounts of Serial Pattern Learning
Authors: Tomaschek Fabian , Ramscar Michael , Nixon Jessie S.
Published: July 2022

Sequence learning is fundamental to a wide range of cognitive functions, and explaining how sequences --- and the relations between the elements they comprise --- are learned is a fundamental challenge to cognitive science. However, although hundreds of articles addressing this question are published each year, the actual learning mechanisms involved in the learning of sequences are rarely investigated. We present three experiments that seek to examine this question during a typing task. Experiments 1 and 2 tested learning during typing single letters on each trial. Experiment 3 tested for `chunking' of these letters into `words'. The results of these experiments were used to examine the mechanisms that could best account for them, with a focus on two particular proposals: associative transitional probability learning and discriminative error-driven learning. Experiments 1 and 2 showed that error-driven learning was a better predictor of response latencies than either n-gram frequencies or transitional probabilities.No evidence for chunking was found in Experiment 3, probably due to interspersing visual cues with the motor response.In addition, learning occurred across a greater distance in Experiment 1 than Experiment 2, suggesting that the greater predictability that comes with increased structure leads to greater learnability. These results shed new light on the mechanism responsible for sequence learning. Despite the widely held assumption that transitional probability learning is essential to this process, the present results suggest instead that the sequences are learned through a process of discriminative learning, involving prediction and feedback from prediction error.
The Relationship between Dropout and Outcome in Naturalistic Cognitive Behavior Therapy
Authors: Persons Jacqueline
Published: July 2022

Dropout from psychotherapy is frequent and limits the benefits patients can receive from treatment. The study of factors associated with dropout has the potential to yield strategies to reduce it. This study analyzed data from a large sample of adults (N = 1092) receiving naturalistic cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to test the hypotheses that dropouts, as compared to completers, had (1) higher symptom severity at treatment termination, (2) a slower rate of symptom change during treatment, and (3) a higher odds that the therapist rated treatment as ending for reasons related to poor outcome. Results showed that although dropouts ended treatment with higher symptom severity than completers, dropouts and completers did not differ in their rate of symptom change during treatment, suggesting that dropouts had higher symptom severity at termination because they received fewer sessions of treatment, not because their symptoms changed at a slower rate. Dropout was also associated with a higher odds of having a therapist-rated termination reason indicating a poor outcome, suggesting that dropout is more likely if patients are dissatisfied with some aspect of the therapy outcome or process. These findings suggest that strategies for monitoring and enhancing patient satisfaction with the process and outcome of treatment may help patients stay in treatment longer and end treatment with fewer symptoms than if they had dropped out.
Blunted cortisol and normal sympathetic nervous system responses to an acute psychosocial stressor in Internet addiction
Authors: Tsumura Hideki , Fukuda Mari , Kanda Hideyuki
Published: July 2022

Studies have demonstrated that addiction leads to blunted responses of cortisol and sympathetic nervous system (SNS) to acute stressors; however, limited studies have examined the neuroendocrine and SNS stress responses in Internet addiction (IA). To examine acute stress responses in IA, the current study recruited a total of 76 Japanese university students and staff members (51 females and 25 males, mean age = 22.4 years, SD = 4.7), and measured the salivary cortisol, salivary alpha-amylase (sAA), and blood pressure (BP) responses to an acute stressor under stress or a nonstress placebo conditions in IA and non-IA groups. The results revealed that patients with IA showed a blunted cortisol response to a stressor. In contrast, no differences were found in the sAA and BP responses between the IA and non-IA groups. These results suggest that IA may be characterized by blunted cortisol responses in acute stress settings.
Employee Green Behavior as the Core of Environmentally Sustainable Organizations
Authors: Zacher Hannes , Rudolph Cort , Katz Ian M.
Published: July 2022

Environmental sustainability has become an ethical and strategic imperative for organizations, and more and more employees are interested, encouraged, or instructed to act in environmentally sustainable ways at work. Consequently, organizational scholars have increasingly studied individual-level antecedents of employee pro-environmental or “green” behavior (EGB). We argue that, to advance this literature and to inform effective interventions, research should investigate how EGB, as a compound performance domain, is associated with antecedents and consequences at multiple levels (i.e., individual, team, work context, organization, society). Accordingly, we pursue three interrelated goals with this paper. We first present a comprehensive review of research on EGB, including definitions, theoretical frameworks, methodological approaches, and empirical findings. Second, we develop an integrative conceptual model of EGB as the core of organizational environmental sustainability. Third, we conclude with recommendations for future theory development and methodological improvements, as well as practical implications for employees, leaders, and human resource management.

Published: July 2022

Up to 25% of children experience sleep problems. Transactional sleep models suggest bidirectional associations between parenting and children’s sleep problems. The current study aims to clarify the temporal associations between maternal sensitivity and children’s sleep problems across early childhood. This study includes 942 mother-child dyads from the Generation R Study, a population-based prospective cohort. Observed maternal sensitivity was coded using the Ainsworth’s rating scales (child age 1.5 years) and the revised Erickson rating scales (child ages 3 and 4 years). Caregivers reported children’s sleep problems on the Child Behavior Checklist at child ages 1.5, 3, and 6 years. Cross-lagged panel modelling showed that higher levels of maternal sensitivity at child age 3 years were associated with fewer sleep problems at child age 6 years; no other associations were found. Findings of the current study indicate an association of parenting with children’s sleep across early childhood, no evidence was found for a bidirectional association.
Endorsement of Dysfunctional Beliefs Depends on Current Mood State
Authors: Persons Jacqueline
Published: July 2022

In two studies we tested the hypothesis that endorsement of dysfunctional beliefs depends on current mood state for persons who are vulnerable to depression. The first study showed that reports of dysfunctional beliefs vary with spontaneous diurnal mood fluctuations in 47 depressed psychiatric patients. The effect of mood state was highly significant (p < .0I); dysfunctional thinking increased when mood was worst and decreased when mood was best. The second study conceptually replicated this finding in a population of asymptomatic subjects. As predicted, reports of dysfunctional beliefs varied as a function of mood state in 14 persons who had experienced a depressive episode but not in 27 who had never been depressed. These findings support the cognitive theory of depression, which proposes that dysfunctional beliefs are vulnerability factors for depression but also that reporting of dysfunctional beliefs depends on current mood state.

INTRODUCTION: Default is one of the unfavourable outcomes for patients on DOTS and represents an important challenge for the control program. Therefore, this study was designed to assess default in tuberculosis (TB) treatment among women registered in DOTS center at Taplejung District of Nepal.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at Taplejung district of Nepal in thethe year 2016. Records of TB patients from all DOTS centre for one year were obtained and treatment default cases for women were identified. Face to face interview was conducted by using semi-structured questionnaire to collect data from the patients. The data were entered and analyzed in MS Excel software.
RESULTS: Out of total 30 female TB patients, 72.0% of respondents belonged to the age group of 15-49 years where as 73.3% of the respondents were Kirat and from Dalit caste ethnicity. Less than half of the respondents (48.0%) thought, feeling better after medication, was the reason for default TB. A second major cause for default in tuberculosis treatment was distance to reach DOTS center (12.0%) and lack of food at home (10.0%). Likewise, few respondents said lack of family support (6.7%), thinking about side effects (6.7%), medicine not working (3.3%) and stigma (6.7%) were the reasons for the default in tuberculosis treatment.
CONCLUSIONS: Majority of the respondents left treatment because they felt better after medication. A second major reason for default in TB treatment was distance to reach DOTS center. The findings may be helpful in planning modifications in DOTS program of Nepal.

Authors: Kapar Vijay Kumar , Shah Laxmi , Sah Neha , Shah Poonam
Published: July 2022

INTRODUCTION: Health insurance is a type of insurance coverage that pays for medical, surgical and sometimes dental expenses incurred by the insured. It reimburses the insured for expenses incurred from illness or injury or pays the case provider directly. The objective of this study is to determine awareness and perception about health insurance among people of Janakpurdham.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross sectional study, using simple random sampling among 400 participants was done at Janakpurdham. A semi structured questionnaire was used. Data was tabulated, categorized and was analyzed using statistical methods JASP version. Chi-square test was used to find out the association between the dependent and independent variables.
RESULTS: In this research awareness about health insurance among respondents slightly more than one third 137(34.25%) were heard about health insurance and 293(73.25%) heard about health insurance scheme. Maximum number of respondents received information from friends 154(38.5%) followed by public media 127(31.7%) and few from newspaper 96(24.0%), and few from employment were 23 (5.8%). Higher Socio-economic status of the respondents were found to be significantly associated with more awareness on health insurance.
CONCLUSIONS: Awareness about health insurance was satisfactory, but it did not lead to increased enrolment. There is a need to reinforce information, education and communication campaign about health insurance among the general population.

Localized Ridge Augmentation with Mandibular Block Autograft and Guided Bone Regeneration: A Case Report
Authors: Dhande Sharayu
Published: July 2022

Numerous alveolar ridge defects resulted post extraction, long standing periodontal disease often require surgical intervention before prosthetic rehabilitation. On the other hand, alveolar bone defects affect the prognosis of dental implants and as a result, their reconstruction is must. Although a wide variety of options have been invented, autogenous bone is still the gold standard and has been yielding promising results. The authors report a case of localized alveolar ridge augmentation using autogenous chin block graft in conjunction with other bone substitutes for prosthetic rehabilitation of lower anterior region. Initially, the alveolar ridge was knife edge and the bone volume was insufficient for placement of dental implant. The CBCT analysis post 6 months shows significant increase in bone volume that was now suitable for prosthetic rehabilitation of the edentulous space.

Authors: Chu Weihua , Chen Xin , Wen Zexian , Xue Xingsen , He Guangjian , Zhang Hongyan , Liu Jingjing , Zhang Yang , Feng Hua , Lin Jiangkai
Published: July 2022

OBJECTIVE

Tarlov cysts (TCs) are a common cystic entity in the sacral canal, with a reported prevalence between 1.5% and 13.2%; 10%–20% of patients are symptomatic and need appropriate clinical intervention. However, the choice of treatment remains controversial. The goal of this study was to describe a new microsurgical sealing technique for symptomatic sacral TCs (SSTCs) as well as its long-term outcomes.

METHODS

Microsurgical sealing was performed using a short incision, leakage coverage with a piece of autologous fat, and cyst sealing with fibrin glue. Postoperative data were collected at three stages: discharge, 1-year follow-up, and a follow-up of 3 years or more. According to the improvement in neurological deficits and degree of pain relief, outcomes were divided into four levels: excellent, good, unchanged, and deteriorated.

RESULTS

A total of 265 patients with SSTCs were treated with microsurgical sealing from January 2003 to December 2020. The mean follow-up was 44.69 months. The percentages of patients who benefited from the operation (excellent and good) at the three stages were 87.55%, 84.89%, and 80.73%, respectively, while those who received no benefit (unchanged and deteriorated) were 12.45%, 15.11%, and 19.27%, respectively. Of the patients with postoperative MRI, the cysts were reduced in size or disappeared in 209 patients (94.14%). CSF leakage from the wound was observed in 15 patients, and 4 patients experienced an infection at the incision. There were no cases of new-onset nerve injury or aseptic meningitis after the operation.

CONCLUSIONS

SSTC patients undergoing microsurgical sealing had persistently high rates of symptom relief and few postoperative complications. Microsurgical sealing is an effective, simple, and low-risk method for treating SSTCs.

Published: July 2022

OBJECTIVE

Meningiomas are the most common primary intracranial tumor, and resection is a mainstay of treatment. It is unclear what duration of imaging follow-up is reasonable for WHO grade I meningiomas undergoing complete resection. This study examined recurrence rates, timing of recurrence, and risk factors for recurrence in patients undergoing a complete resection (as defined by both postoperative MRI and intraoperative impression) of WHO grade I meningiomas.

METHODS

The authors conducted a retrospective, single-center study examining recurrence risk for adult patients with a single intracranial meningioma that underwent complete resection. Uni- and multivariate nominal logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards analyses were performed to identify variables associated with recurrence and time to recurrence. Two supervised machine learning algorithms were then implemented to confirm factors within the cohort that were associated with recurrence.

RESULTS

The cohort consisted of 823 patients who met inclusion criteria, and 56 patients (6.8%) had recurrence on imaging follow-up. The median age of the cohort was 56 years, and 77.4% of patients were female. The median duration of head imaging follow-up for the entire cohort was 2.7 years, but for the subgroup of patients who had a recurrence, the median follow-up was 10.1 years. Estimated 1-, 5-, 10-, and 15-year recurrence-free survival rates were 99.8% (95% confidence interval [CI] 98.8%–99.9%), 91.0% (95% CI 87.7%–93.6%), 83.6% (95% CI 78.6%–87.6%), and 77.3% (95% CI 69.7%–83.4%), respectively, for the entire cohort. On multivariate analysis, MIB-1 index (odds ratio [OR] per 1% increase: 1.34, 95% CI 1.13–1.58, p = 0.0003) and follow-up duration (OR per year: 1.12, 95% CI 1.03–1.21, p = 0.012) were both associated with recurrence. Gradient-boosted decision tree and random forest analyses both identified MIB-1 index as the main factor associated with recurrence, aside from length of imaging follow-up. For tumors with an MIB-1 index < 8, recurrences were documented up to 8 years after surgery. For tumors with an MIB-1 index ≥ 8, recurrences were documented up to 12 years following surgery.

CONCLUSIONS

Long-term imaging follow-up is important even after a complete resection of a meningioma. Higher MIB-1 labeling index is associated with greater risk of recurrence. Imaging screening for at least 8 years in patients with an MIB-1 index < 8 and at least 12 years for those with an MIB-1 index ≥ 8 may be needed to detect long-term recurrences.
Cost-effectiveness analysis of endovascular treatment with or without intravenous thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke
Authors: Qureshi Adnan I. , Akinci Yasemin , Huang Wei , Ishfaq Muhammad F. , Hassan Ameer E. , Siddiq Farhan , Gomez Camilo R.
Published: July 2022

OBJECTIVE

Intravenous (IV) recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (r-tPA) may not provide additional benefit in terms of functional outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) who undergo endovascular treatment (EVT). In this context, the cost-effectiveness of EVT alone compared with its application following IV r-tPA has not been evaluated.

METHODS

The authors determined the average rates of death or disability in each of the two treatment groups from four randomized clinical trials that enrolled patients with AIS within 4.5 hours of symptom onset and randomly assigned patients to EVT alone and IV r-tPA and EVT. By using three sources derived from previous studies, the authors determined the cost of IV r-tPA, cost of staff time for administration, cost of the EVT, cost of hospital stay, costs of supported discharge and community care, and cost of posthospitalization care and disability. They then assessed the cost-effectiveness of EVT alone using a decision tree for the 1st year after AIS and a Markov model with a 10-year horizon, including probabilistic assessment by Monte Carlo simulations.

RESULTS

The 1-year cost was higher with IV r-tPA and EVT compared with EVT alone (incremental cost ranging between $3554 and $13,788 per patient). The mean incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) were −$1589, −$78,327, and −$15,471 per quality-adjusted life-year gained for cost sources 1, 2, and 3, respectively, for EVT alone compared with IV r-tPA and EVT at 10 years. The ceiling ICER (willingness to pay) for a probability of 100% that EVT alone was more cost-effective ranged between $25,000 and $100,000 in the three models.

CONCLUSIONS

EVT alone appears to be more cost-effective compared with EVT and IV r-tPA for the treatment of AIS patients presenting within 4.5 hours of symptom onset.

OBJECTIVE

One of the key metrics that is used to predict the likelihood of success of MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) thalamotomy is the overall calvarial skull density ratio (SDR). However, this measure does not fully predict the sonication parameters that would be required or the technical success rates. The authors aimed to assess other skull characteristics that may also contribute to technical success.

METHODS

The authors retrospectively studied consecutive patients with essential tremor who were treated by MRgFUS at their center between 2017 and 2021. They evaluated the correlation between the different treatment parameters, particularly maximum power and energy delivered, with a range of patients’ skull metrics and demographics. Machine learning algorithms were applied to investigate whether sonication parameters could be predicted from skull density metrics alone and whether including combined local transducer SDRs with overall calvarial SDR would increase model accuracy.

RESULTS

A total of 62 patients were included in the study. The mean age was 77.1 (SD 9.2) years, and 78% of treatments (49/63) were performed in males. The mean SDR was 0.51 (SD 0.10). Among the evaluated metrics, SDR had the highest correlation with the maximum power used in treatment (ρ = −0.626, p < 0.001; proportion of local SDR values ≤ 0.8 group also had ρ = +0.626, p < 0.001) and maximum energy delivered (ρ = −0.680, p < 0.001). Machine learning algorithms achieved a moderate ability to predict maximum power and energy required from the local and overall SDRs (accuracy of approximately 80% for maximum power and approximately 55% for maximum energy), and high ability to predict average maximum temperature reached from the local and overall SDRs (approximately 95% accuracy).

CONCLUSIONS

The authors compared a number of skull metrics against SDR and showed that SDR was one of the best indicators of treatment parameters when used alone. In addition, a number of other machine learning algorithms are proposed that may be explored to improve its accuracy when additional data are obtained. Additional metrics related to eventual sonication parameters should also be identified and explored.

OBJECTIVE

Early adaptors of surgical simulation have documented a translation to improved intraoperative surgical performance. Similar progress would boost neurosurgical education, especially in highly nuanced epilepsy surgeries. This study introduces a hands-on cerebral hemispheric surgery simulator and evaluates its usefulness in teaching epilepsy surgeries.

METHODS

Initially, the anatomical realism of the simulator and its perceived effectiveness as a training tool were evaluated by two epilepsy neurosurgeons. The surgeons independently simulated hemispherotomy procedures and provided questionnaire feedback. Both surgeons agreed on the anatomical realism and effectiveness of this training tool. Next, construct validity was evaluated by modeling the proficiency (task-completion time) of 13 participants, who spanned the experience range from novice to expert.

RESULTS

Poisson regression yielded a significant whole-model fit (χ2 = 30.11, p < 0.0001). The association between proficiency when using the training tool and the combined effect of prior exposure to hemispherotomy surgery and career span was statistically significant (χ2 = 7.30, p = 0.007); in isolation, pre-simulation exposure to hemispherotomy surgery (χ2 = 6.71, p = 0.009) and career length (χ2 = 14.21, p < 0.001) were also significant. The mean (± SD) task-completion time was 25.59 ± 9.75 minutes. Plotting career length against task-completion time provided insights on learning curves of epilepsy surgery. Prediction formulae estimated that 10 real-life hemispherotomy cases would be needed to approach the proficiency seen in experts.

CONCLUSIONS

The cerebral hemispheric surgery simulator is a reasonable epilepsy surgery training tool in the quest to increase preoperative practice opportunities for neurosurgical education.

Business To Business To Customers is part of E-Commerce which is a process of buying and selling transactions and distribution to consumers. Distribution of wet cakes from producers on Jl. Panglima Minal Senggoro is still manual by recording and monitoring products that run out from partners. Distribution from producers to retailers uses a profit-sharing system that has been agreed upon by both parties. The design of this system is designed using the Waterfall method and the Codeigniter Framework (CI) as well as with the design of the E-commerce Framework, namely B2B2C which produces information about cake manufacturers, knows the available products, and also helps producers in recapitulating sales to partners. The features in this system are Approval in user registration, the input of cake products, selection of payment methods, uploading proof of payment, updating of remaining products on the partner side, and dynamic reviews and ratings. So that producers can compete with other wet cake.

Public transit agencies in the United States depend on external vendors to help deliver and maintain many essential services and to provide critical technologies, from ticket purchases to scheduling to email management. While the integration of new, advanced technologies into the public transit industry brings important advancements to U.S. critical transportation infrastructure, the application of digital technologies also brings with it a new assortment of digital risks. Transit agencies of all sizes are finding themselves subject to cyber incidents—most notably ransomware attacks—like those experienced by larger, more prominent companies and critical infrastructure providers. The findings in this report focus on helping all parties involved improve in three key areas: cyber literacy and procurement practices, the lifecycle of technology vis-à-vis transit hardware, and the importance of embracing risk as a road to resiliency.
Minyak Zaitun Sebagai Pengganti xylene pada Prosesing Jaringan Histologis Untuk Pewarnaan Kulit dan Hepar Mencit dengan Hematoxylin Eosin: Sebuah Studi Perbandingan

Clearing results in histological processing can be affected due to tissue density and viscosity of the clearing agent. xylene is the most commonly used aromatic solvent for clearing agents and deparaffinizing agents in histopathology laboratories, but xylene is one of the most dangerous chemicals found in histology laboratories. Based on the dangers posed by xylene, a replacement material is needed. Several xylene substitutes such as reagents derived from limonene, aliphatic hydrocarbons, vegetable oils and mineral oils have been commercially developed, but the available xylene substitutes are still less effective, more expensive, and still as dangerous as xylene itself. Substitutes that are considered safer are from natural oils, one of which is olive oil which has similarities with xylene, namely in hydrocarbon and phenol compounds. This study used two types of tissue, namely skin and liver from mice (Mus musculus) which were cut into two parts; the first part uses xylene as and the other part uses olive oil as a clearing agent. The assessment of hematoxylin eosin staining results were determined based on the category of assessment of cell structure, such as the cell nucleus, cytoplasm, and color uniformity carried out by three readers and five fields of view for each microscopic slide at 40X magnification of the objective lens. Comparison of observations of the xylene group in skin and liver tissue 100% got a good score on the cell nucleus, cytoplasm, and color uniformity. (p=1,000). The olive oil group had a slight difference in color uniformity in liver tissue when compared to skin, but not statistically different (p=0.773). The comparison of the overall readings of the xylene and olive oil groups on skin and liver tissue also showed no statistically different (p=0.262). So it can be concluded that olive oil can be recommended as a substitute for xylene in the clearing process in histological tissue processing.
