Sex variation of central serous chorioretinopathy by spectral domain optical coherence tomography
Authors: Amer Ahmed A.A.
Published: March 2022

Purpose

The aim of this study was to compare the spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) characteristics of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSR) between male and female patients.

Patients and methods

This is a retrospective study that included 39 patients of both sexes diagnosed as CSR during the period between January 2018 and May 2020. The analyzed data included patients’ age, duration of symptoms, and the SD-OCT measurable parameters in the male and female patient groups. The SD-OCT parameters included central total retinal thickness, central sensory retinal thickness, vertical distance of subfoveal subretinal fluid, horizontal distance of subfoveal subretinal fluid, and the presence of subretinal deposits. These parameters were compared and statistically analyzed between the two groups.

Results

The study included 24 male patients and 15 female patients. The mean age was 35.33±9.88 years in the male group and 41.53±8.28 years in the female group (P=0.05). In the male group, central total retinal thickness, central sensory retinal thickness, vertical distance of subfoveal subretinal fluid, and horizontal distance of subfoveal subretinal fluid were 448±93 μm, 182±34 μm, 305±53 μm, and 3.07±0.63 mm, respectively, while in the female group, they were 346±127 μm (P=0.006), 178±34 μm (P=0.73), 244±61 μm (P=0.002), and 2.34±0.67 mm (P=0.001), respectively. The percentage of patients having subretinal deposit was significantly more in the male group than in the female group (P=0.003).

Conclusions

There was a statistically significant difference in SD-OCT characteristics of CSR between male and female patients. Further studies are needed regarding the persistence of these OCT differences after treatment of CSR.

Background:

Thyroidectomy results in unsightly scarring at the anterior neck of the patient.

Objectives:

This prospective clinical study aimed to assess the effectiveness of laser assisted drug delivery (LADD) of topical steroid ointment for the treatment of postthyroidectomy hypertrophic scars.

Methods:

Five courses of a fractional ablative carbon dioxide laser combined with topical 0.05% clobetasol propionate were applied every 4 weeks to treat postthyroidectomy hypertrophic scars in ten adult female patients. The effectiveness was assessed by the patient themselves according to the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) and by three different doctors according to photography evaluations before and 1 year after the first treatment.

Results:

Assessments of the scars by POSAS revealed significant improvements in terms of itchiness, color, softness, thickness, irregularity, and distorted appearance of the scars, albeit without any significant pain relief. In addition, all indicative characteristics of the scar, namely, vascularity, pigmentation, thickness, relief, pliability, surface area, and overall opinion, as assessed by the treating doctor and based on photographic evaluations by three different doctors, revealed significant improvements in the scars after treatment.

Conclusion:

In this study, we demonstrated that the topical delivery of steroids after fractional ablative carbon dioxide laser treatment showed an encouraging outcome in postthyroidectomy hypertrophic scarring.
Optical coherence tomography as a useful adjunct in the early detection of meningioma with optic nerve compression

Published: March 2022

A 48-year-old woman presented with persistent clouding vision in her lower field in the right eye for 5 months. A small retinal hemorrhage was initially reported. Her visual acuity was 20/30 in the right eye and 20/20 in the left, with normal color vision and pupil response. Fundus examination did not reveal any retinal hemorrhage. Although optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed normal macula and retinal nerve fiber layers in both eyes, asymmetric thinning of the ganglion cell inner plexiform layer was found in the superior macula of the right eye in ganglion cell analysis (GCA). Visual field examination revealed a subtle inferonasal scotoma. Compressive optic neuropathy (CON) was suspected. The visual evoked potential test revealed delayed P100 latency. A tuberculum sellae meningioma was found with right medial optic canal extension. The visual acuity of the right eye returned to 20/25 after decompression surgery. OCT can be used to differentiate between retinopathy and optic neuropathy. GCA can help in the early detection of CON and achieve a good visual outcome after surgery.
Freely floating objects on a fluid governed by the Boussinesq equations
Authors: Lannes David , Beck Geoffrey
Published: March 2022

We investigate here the interactions of waves governed by a Boussinesq system with a
partially immersed body allowed to move freely in the vertical direction. We show that the whole
system of equations can be reduced to a transmission problem for the Boussinesq equations with
transmission conditions given in terms of the vertical displacement of the object and of the average
horizontal discharge beneath it; these two quantities are in turn determined by two nonlinear ODEs
with forcing terms coming from the exterior wave field. Understanding the dispersive contribution
to the added mass phenomenon allows us to solve these equations, and a new dispersive hidden
regularity effect is used to derive uniform estimates with respect to the dispersive parameter. We
then derive an abstract general Cummins equation describing the motion of the solid in the return
to equilibrium problem and show that it takes an explicit simple form in two cases, namely, the
nonlinear nondispersive and the linear dispersive cases; we show in particular that the decay rate
towards equilibrium is much smaller in the presence of dispersion. The latter situation also involves
an initial boundary value problem for a nonlocal scalar equation that has interest of its own and for
which we consequently provide a general analysis.
Optimal decay rate for higher-order derivatives of the solution to the Lagrangian-averaged Navier–Stokes-$\alpha$ equation in $\mathbb{R}^3$
Authors: Yao Zheng-an , Lyu Zeyu , Gao Jincheng
Published: March 2022

Recently, Bjorland and Schonbek [Ann. Inst. H. Poincaré Anal. Non Linéaire 25 (2008)
907–936] investigated the upper bound of the decay rate for the solution to the Lagrangian-averaged Navier–Stokes-

\alpha

equation under the condition that the initial data belongs to

L^{1}(\mathbb{R}^{n})\cap H^{N}_{\sigma}(\mathbb{R}^{n})

with

n=2,3,4

.
The decay rate can eventually be shown to be optimal if the average of the initial data is nonzero. Thus, the target in this paper is to study the optimal decay rate of the solution when the average of the initial data is zero. If the initial data belongs to

L^{1}(\mathbb{R}^{3})\cap H^{N}_\sigma(\mathbb{R}^{3})

and some weighted Sobolev space, we show that the lower and upper bounds of decay rates for the

k

th-order (

k\in[0, N]

) spatial derivatives of the solution tending to zero in

L^2

-norm are

(1+t)^{-\frac{5+2k}{4}}

, which implies these decay rates are optimal.
As a by-product, we show that the optimal decay rate (including lower and upper bounds)
of the time derivative of the solution tending to zero in

L^2

-norm is

(1+t)^{-\frac{9}{4}}

.
Construction of maximal functions associated with skewed cylinders generated by incompressible flows and applications
Authors: Yang Jincheng
Published: March 2022

We construct a maximal function associated with a family of skewed cylinders. These
cylinders, which are defined as tubular neighborhoods of trajectories of a mollified flow, appear
in the study of fluid equations such as the Navier–Stokes equations and the Euler equations. We
define a maximal function subordinate to these cylinders and show it is of weak type

(1, 1)

and
strong type

(p, p)

by a covering lemma. As an application, we give an alternative proof for the
higher-derivatives estimate of smooth solutions to the three-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations.
Unbounded growth of the energy density associated to the Schrödinger map and the binormal flow
Authors: Vega Luis , Banica Valeria
Published: March 2022

We consider the binormal flow equation, which is a model for the dynamics of vortex
filaments in Euler equations. Geometrically, it is a flow of curves in three dimensions, explicitly
connected to the one-dimensional Schrödinger map with values on the two-dimensional sphere,
and to the one-dimensional cubic Schrödinger equation. Although these equations are completely
integrable, we show the existence of an unbounded growth of the energy density. The density is given
by the amplitude of the high frequencies of the derivative of the tangent vectors of the curves, thus
giving information about oscillation at small scales. In the setting of vortex filaments, the variation
of the tangent vectors is related to the derivative of the direction of the vorticity, which according to
the Constantin–Fefferman–Majda criterion is relevant in the possible development of singularities
for the Euler equations.
Effective viscosity of random suspensions without uniform separation
Authors: Duerinckx Mitia
Published: March 2022

This work is devoted to the definition and the analysis of the effective viscosity associated
with a random suspension of small rigid particles in a steady Stokes fluid. While previous works on
the topic have conveniently assumed that particles are uniformly separated, we relax this restrictive
assumption in the form of mild moment bounds on interparticle distances.

Observations on the mating behaviour and related copulatory anatomy of Alaena margaritacea Eltringham, 1929 (Papilionoidea: Lycaenidae: Poritiinae)
Authors: Terblanche Etienne
Published: March 2022

This article records observations made on the mating behaviours and related copulatory anatomy of Alaena margaritacea Eltringham, 1929. Several mating sessions were observed, one of which lasted for at least 1 h 38 min. The female seemed to play a predominant role in copulation behaviours. The male abdomen tilted at an unusual angle during copulation. Anatomically, the ostium bursa was found to be covered by a sclerotized cup leading into an orifice. This cup and orifice occurred at a distance from the abdominal tip, corresponding with the unusual tilting of the male abdomen during copulation. Inside the cup, a “waxy” substance was found to cover the orifice. A SEM micrograph of this showed that the substance was folded to increase its volume. This article considers the possibility that this is a sphragis or related structure. However, the current literature emphatically concludes that sphragides do not exist in the family Lycaenidae. The apparently peculiar mating behaviour and anatomy in this species requires further research.

Do Personality Traits Matter in Preferences of Translation Strategies?
Authors: Vural Haldun
Published: March 2022

Translation is closely related to languages, linguistics, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, culture etc. and because of these relations, there are also a lot of theories which give importance either to source language or target language. Linguistic and other features of the source and target texts have been examined for years. But translator is an important element with an important role in translation process as well, and the influence of translators’ personality traits on their translation has been emphasized. Therefore, the aim of the current study is to investigate whether there are relations between translators’ personality characters and their translation strategy preferences. The BFI Test (Big Five-Factor Inventory) is administered to 28 English Translation and Interpreting students at Cappadocia University to determine the personality traits of the participants. Then they are asked to choose one of the suggested translations in accordance with the translation model. The data are analyzed through SPSS (v. 22). The findings indicate that there are significant relationships between personality traits of participants and their use of translation strategies. According to results, agreeableness personality trait has a significant relationship with borrowing strategy, openness and neuroticism have significant relationships with modulation strategy, and conscientiousness has a significant relationship with adaptation strategy. Only extraversion does not correlate significantly with any of the strategies.

Liturgi yang Bermain untuk Generasi Z di Masa Pandemi COVID-19: Suatu Panduan Melalui Perspektif Romano Guardini
Authors: Tambun Tiarma Pintauli
Published: March 2022

ABSTRAk: Pandemi COVID-19 menghantar gereja kepada pergumulan dengan dunia virtual, sekaligus kebosanan hidup dengan interaksi daring tersebut. Berbagai gereja dan sekolah berusaha untuk menyesuaikan diri dengan keadaan ini melalui berbagai usaha seperti menjalankan ibadah secara virtual via Zoom dan YouTube. Sayangnya, usaha penyelamatan itu tidak holistik mengarah kepada seluruh warga jemaat. Ibadah virtual kurang memberi perhatian pada generasi Z yang menghadapi kebosanan, kesepian, bahkan kemarahan dengan situasi pandemi, terlebih ketika mereka melewati masa-masa karantina. Pada dasarnya, generasi ini erat dengan bermain. Bermain pun menjadi bagian dari pendidikan (paedeia). Sejumlah teks Perjanjian Lama (Mzm. 33:21; Ams. 13:9; Pkh. 8:15; 2 Sam. 6:5; 1 Taw. 15:29; Zak. 8:5; Kel. 32:6) dan Perjanjian Baru (Kis. 2:26, Luk. 24:50-52) menghubungkan bermain dengan sukacita, kegembiraan, kebahagiaan, dan kesenangan. Dari problematika generasi Z dan sejumlah landasan teologis bermain yang mendatangkan sukacita, tulisan ini berupaya untuk mengonstruksi liturgi bermain bagi generasi Z yang kehilangan gairah ibadah virtual di masa pandemi. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa liturgi bermain mampu memberi ruang bagi generasi Z untuk lebih interaktif dan aktif dalam ibadah. ABSTRACT: Pandemic COVID-19 led church to strive for a virtual world and living with some boredom due to the online interaction. Some churches and schools try to adjust themselves with these conditions by running the virtual service via Zoom and YouTube. However, this effort is not holistic for the whole people. Virtual worship is not paying attention enough to the Z generation who are facing boredom, loneliness, and anger due to the pandemic, especially during the quarantine. Basically, this generation is close to playful activity. Playful has been part of education (paidea). Some text in the Old Testament and the New Testament has connected playful with rejoiceful, happiness, joyful, and fun. From these Z generation’s problems and with the playful theology pedestal, this paper tries to construct playful liturgy for the Z generation who lost enthusiasm for virtual worship during the pandemic. This research has shown that playful liturgy is able to give a space for the Z generation to be more interactive and active in worship.
Kebahagiaan dan Penderitaan dalam Hidup Menggereja di Era Disrupsi: Analisis Surat Filipi
Authors: Sitanggang Murni Hermawaty
Published: March 2022

Happiness and suffering are two popular topics that are often considered contradictory and discussed separately. It causes an unbalanced understanding that indirectly leads to a misunderstanding due to the influence of successful theology, the law of karma or retribution, and Stoicism. The author argues suffering and happiness need to be discussed together so that a correct reflection on suffering should also contain happiness and vice versa. This paper, then, aims to build a complete thought by studying the letter to Philippians, which is known as the letter of joy, even though it was written in prison (which is identical to suffering). The method used is qualitative with a descriptive approach based on a study of the Philippians letter. The conclusion of the discussion is that because the letter of Philippians states that suffering and happiness are representations of God's grace, as believers, we should not hesitate to pursue happiness even in times of suffering.AbstrakKebahagiaan dan penderitaan adalah dua topik populer yang seringkali dianggap saling berlawanan dan dibahas terpisah. Akibatnya muncul pemahaman yang kurang berimbang tentang keduanya sehingga tidak sedikit orang percaya yang kemudian terpengaruh dengan pemahaman yang keliru dari teologi sukses, konsep hukum karma atau retribusi, dan filsafat Stoisisme. Penulis berpendapat penderitaan dan kebahagiaan perlu dibahas bersama sehingga refleksi yang benar tentang penderitaan seharusnya memuat juga kebahagiaan, dan demikian pula sebaliknya. Itu sebabnya tulisan ini bertujuan membangun pemikiran yang lebih lengkap dengan. menelaah surat Filipi, yang dikenal sebagai surat sukacita meski ditulis di dalam penjara (yang identik dengan penderitaan). Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif berdasarkan kajian terhadap surat Filipi. Kesimpulan pembahasan adalah karena surat Filipi menyatakan penderitaan dan kebahagiaan adalah representasi kasih karunia Allah, maka kita sebagai orang percaya tidak perlu ragu mengejar kebahagiaan bahkan di saat menderita.

This paper examines efforts to build an attitude of religious moderation through an inclusive church life through the meaning of Matthew 8:5-13. This study used an interpretive description method by interpreting the text of Matthew 8:5-13 to build an inclusive attitude as the basis for religious moderation. The result is a portrait of Jesus' ministry showing His universal love, and His mission is to serve all people including “others”. Jesus are  receiving and serving all people, including Gentiles. Therefore, as evidence of the church's faith in Jesus is to have an open attitude to accept and serve all people, including the “others”. This is the basis for the church's inclusive attitude in building an attitude of religious moderation in the context of a pluralistic Indonesia.  Tulisan ini mengkaji tentang upaya membangun sikap moderasi beragama melalui kehidupan gereja yang inklusif melalui pemaknaan terhadap Matius 8:5-13. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskripsi interpretatif dengan memaknai teks Matius 8:5-13 untuk membangun sikap yang inklusif sebagai dasar moderasi beragama. Hasilnya adalah potret pelayanan Yesus menunjukan kasih-Nya yang bersifat universal, dan misi-Nya adalah melayani semua orang termasuk “yang lain”. Yesus terbuka menerima dan melayani semua orang, termasuk orang-orang bukan Yahudi. Karena itu, sebagai bukti iman gereja kepada Yesus adalah memiliki sikap terbuka menerima dan melayani semua orang termasuk “yang lain”.  Hal inilah yang menjadi dasar sikap inklusif gereja dalam membangun sikap moderasi beragama dalam konteks Indonesia yang plural.

Hydrogenic donor impurity states in the 2D GaAs=Ga0.7Al0.3As concentric double quantum rings have been investigated under the action of intense laser field. An analytical expression of the effective lateral confinement potential induced by the laser field is obtained. The laser dressed effect has been considered both on electron confining and electron-impurity Coulomb interaction potentials. The single electron energy spectrum and wave functions have been found using the effective mass approximation and exact diagonalization technique. The accidental degeneracy of the impurity states has been observed.

The problem of a dynamic diffraction of spherical X-ray wave on a short period superlattice is considered theoretically. It is shown that a focusing of satellites occurred both at different depths of the superlattice and at different distances from the crystal in vacuum depending on the structural factors of the superlattice. The larger the structural factor of the satellite, the more deeply the wave in the crystal is focused and, respectively, the less is the focal length out of the crystal in vacuum.

The main activity of cooperatives is to carry out savings and loan transactions for cooperative members only. Every transaction carried out at the Wredatama Krakatau Steel Cooperative (Kopwekas) already uses a database-based application that only requires a few problems including data collection on deposits, credit data collection, and payment processing as well as arrears of cooperative members. It is necessary to develop a savings and loan information system. The methodology used in the design of this information system is the Waterfall Method. This system is designed using the concepts of UML (Unifield Modeling Language) and implemented using Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Database, and Visual Basic 6.0. The expected result of this research is the development of a savings and loan information system of kopwekas which includes processing of deposits, credit, payments and arrears of cooperative members. By using this information system, it is also hoped that the reporting process will be easier, faster with accurate data.

The development of information systems is now very fast and rapid, one form of information system that is easy to develop is web-based. The use of information systems in the medical world is very much, but there are still some who have not utilized the information system to help the work of a medical worker, especially in helping the development of mental health. The system used to help improve mental health in dr.Dradjat Prawiranegara Hospital is now still conventional, namely face to face between medical personnel and patients, this is what makes teenagers who have problems with their mental health have a variety of reasons not to visit a psychiatrist. The web-based adolescent mental health screening application is designed using php programming language, MySQL database and decision making system using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. By implementing Web- Based Adolescent Mental Health Screening Application Using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method is expected to help teenagers know their mental health independently and provide information and education about mental health disorders.

Published: March 2022

Convex functions, like differentiable functions, have a important role in many fields of pure and applied mathematics. It connects concepts from topology, algebra, geometry and analysis, and is an important tool in optimization, mathematical programming and game theory. Also, inequalities for convex function has receives special attention by many researchers because the theory of convex functions has applications in different field of science like biology, economy and optimization.

In this paper, it is given some properties for an (s,m)-convex function defined on [0,d], d>0 in the first sense and the second sense with m\in (0,1). Also, some integral inequalities are examined for any non positive (s,m)-convex function in the second sense with any measure space.
The Information Content of Indirect Insider Trading: Empirical Evidence from Vietnam Security Market
Authors: Huang Han-Ching , Indajang William
Published: March 2022

Abstract

In this paper, we discuss the relationship among indirect insider trading, opportunistic trading and investment horizon in Vietnam security market. Goldie, Jiang, Koch and Wintoki [10] find that in order to camouflage opportunistic trading, insiders trade through the accounts of family members, trusts, and foundations, known as indirect insider trading. According to Cohen, Malloy and Pomorski [5], opportunistic trading are strong predictors of future return. Akbas, Jiang, and Koch [1] document that the performance of short-horizon insiders to forecast future stock prices are better than that of long-horizon insiders since SH insiders are more likely to be unexpected, on average, when compared with the typical expected trade of LH insiders. Empirical results show that the impact of opportunistic trades in indirect insider trading on future return is stronger than that in direct insider trading. In indirect insider trading, the impact of opportunistic trades on future return is still stronger than that of routine trades. Moreover, we find that the impact of short-horizon insiders in indirect insider trading on future return is stronger than that in direct insider trading. In indirect insider trading, the impact of short-horizon insiders on future return is still stronger than that of long-horizon insiders.

Functional pituitary gonadotroph adenoma in male patients: case report
Authors: Ram Nanik , Sajjad Ali Khan  , Das Bhagwan , Islam Najmul
Published: March 2022

Pituitary gonadotroph adenomas are common but very rarely do they secrete biologically active luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). There have been case studies reporting high sex hormones (testosterone/estrogen) in the presence of high or normal LH and FSH. Here we report two cases (with their consent) who presented with visual disturbance and headache at a tertiary care hospital (Aga Khan university hospital) Karachi, Pakistan. Brain imaging revealed a pituitary macroadenoma. Further workup was consistent with pituitary gonadotroph adenoma with high FSH (case 1) and normal LH/FSH (case 2) and elevated serum testosterone in both cases. Transsphenoidal resection was performed and the tissue sample histopathology confirmed pituitary adenoma. Postoperatively, improvement in hormonal profile was observed along with a resolution of visual disturbances and headaches.
Thus, functional gonadotroph adenoma should be considered in the presence of elevated testosterone/estrogen and normal or elevated follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)/ luteinizing hormone (LH).

Tujuan kajian ini adalah untuk melihat hubungan antara tahap penglibatan aktiviti fizikal dengan tahap BMI murid perempuan sekolah luar bandar di daerah Rembau, Negeri Sembilan semasa wabak pandemik COVID-19. Instrumen yang digunakan dalam kajian ini adalah soal selidik Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) oleh (WHO, 2002) yang telah diubahsuai mengikut kesesuaian kajian. Populasi kajian adalah dalam kalangan murid yang berusia 16 hingga 17 tahun dan jumlah sampel kajian seramai 312 orang murid. Dapatan kajian mendapati tahap penglibatan aktiviti fizikal murid perempuan adalah diklasifikasikan sebagai aktif. Tahap BMI pula menunjukkan bahawa murid berada dalam kategori berat badan normal iaitu 69.2% dengan min = 21.56kgm-2. Hasil ujian korelasi pearson pula mendapati bahawa tidak terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara tahap penglibatan aktiviti fizikal dengan tahap BMI dalam kalangan murid iaitu r = 0.019; p > 0.05 = 0.732. Keseluruhannya, penglibatan aktiviti fizikal murid perempuan sekolah menengah luar bandar di daerah Rembau tidak memberikan kesan terhadap tahap BMI semasa pandemik COVID-19. Penglibatan awal murid dalam aktiviti fizikal adalah salah satu komponen yang penting dalam memperoleh kesihatan yang baik dan mengelakkan diri daripada mendapat risiko penyakit tidak berjangkit. Pihak sekolah dan guru Pendidikan Jasmani dan Pendidikan Kesihatan perlu merangka program yang boleh menarik minat murid dalam melibatkan diri lebih aktif dalam aktiviti fizikal semasa pandemik COVID-19 ini.
