A Transnational Approach to Salman Rushdie's "Midnight's Children"
Authors: Alkan Halit
Published: September 2020

Colonialism and post-colonialism have led to the development of transnationalism that is the interconnectivity between people and the economic and social significance of boundaries among nation states. When transnational approach is applied to Salman Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children (1981), it allows researchers to analyse how transnationalism impacts on gender, class, culture and race both in host and home countries. The traditional cultural heritage of India and British imperialism’s impact on Indian society are told through dual identities of the narrator Saleem Sinai who has double parents. Saleem’s grandfather, Aadam Aziz, a Western-trained physician, scorns his wife Naseem who could not notice the difference between mercurochrome and blood stains. As a traditional Indian wife Naseem’s response to the immoral sexual desires of her husband who has adopted the Western culture is a reaction to British cultural environment in India. Saleem’s mother Amina’s cultural conflict caused by colonialism is emphasized because she has to carry on her traditional culture-specific daily habits in her new house bought from a colonialist without changing the order established by Methwold. Despite gaining their independence, Indians cannot get rid of the impact of British colonialism. In terms of transnationalism, Indians are considered as undeveloped, ignorant and wild by British.
Anchoring Effect as A Cognitive Bias: An Example of a Classroom Experiment
Authors: SEVGIN Mehmet
Published: September 2020

Over the last decades, standard economic assumptions are questioned due to some empirical violation examples of the rationality principle in economic theory. Behavioral economists suggest that it is more realistic to call individuals and firms "bounded rational" than rational to solve this inconsistency. Hence, one of the primary sources of these rationalities comes from cognitive biases and heuristics, according to many psychologies and behavioral economics studies. It is assumed that anchoring effect is one of the most robust cognitive biases since it might occur without the individual's awareness. In this study, anchoring effect as a cognitive bias is analyzed with its theoretical and psychological background. In the last section of the study, the findings of a class experiment are presented and discussed. According to the results, when the anchoring effect increases, the anchors' impact on the mean estimations of the subjects also increases. Moreover, when the subjects are explicitly directed to the anchor value, anchoring effect is more influential than a regular incidental anchoring effect. Hence, increases in anchoring effect result in a larger influence on the estimations of the subjects.

The risk of sudden death in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is related to the presence of ventricular arrhythmias in most cases. Finding the best schemes to assess the probability of arrhythmic complications will remain a challenge for modern Cardiology. Meanwhile, the multifactorial approach is the best strategy to avoid the unnecessary implantation of devices such as the implantable cardioverter defibrillator.
Although the electrocardiogram remains an excellent diagnostic tool, even before echocardiographic expression, it does not have a clear role as a risk factor. However, the identification of associated arrhythmias such as preexcitation or long QT and variants of presentation as apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, allows identifying patients with high probability of sudden death.
During the last few years, cardiac resonance and quantification of intramyocardial fibrosis (the basic mechanism of ventricular arrhythmias) have gained an important role in the evaluation of these patients.
In particular, pediatric patients must have an individualized approach due to the poor prognosis at early ages and the uncertain role of different tools for risk assessment and treatment.

Riots in Moluccas were one of the biggest conflicts in Indonesia that occurred in 2000-2002, no wonder the incident was a concern of many parties, especially the mass media. However, the mass media is also not free from bias because there are ideologies that can affect the content of the news. For this reason, researchers conducted a study on the representation of the Moluccas riots in Siwalima. The focus of this research is on  problem of the study, how was the linguistic representation of the Moluccas riots in Siwalima?the objective of the study is to investigate the linguistic representation of Moluccas riots in Siwalima.This study used a qualitative method with Fairclough's (1995) model of Critical Discourse Analysis to help on the process of data analysis. The data used was linguistic representation of Moluccas riots in Siwalima. The researchers found that the linguistic representation of the Moluccas riots in Siwalima highlights more about the incompetence of the government and the military in dealing with the conflict. Hence, the military was considered to have favored only one particular group, even participated in extending the conflict and making native Moluccan victims of the conflict. The condition of Moluccas at that time was also represented as a gloomy event.

Effect of Oxide Film on the Cavitation Erosion-Corrosion Behavior of Nickel-Aluminum Bronze Alloy
Authors: Qin Zhenbo , Cao Lifang , Deng Yida , Zhong Cheng , Hu Wenbin , Wu Zhong
Published: September 2020

The effect of oxide film on the cavitation erosion-corrosion of nickel-aluminum bronze (NAB) alloy in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution was investigated via pulse and continuous cavitation modes of ultrasonic vibrator device according to ASTM. NaCl solution was used to simulate the seawater condition of NAB alloy. In the same effective cavitation erosion time of 8 h, the total mass loss caused by continuous cavitation erosion-corrosion was 21.45±0.75 mg, which was almost 1.5 times as much as that of pulse mode. The synergistic effect of cavitation erosion and corrosion was analyzed. The results showed that the total contribution of the synergy component in the process of continuous cavitation erosion-corrosion was 51.66%, while it fell to 25.56% in the pulse mode. The open-circuit potential measurements and electrochemical atomic force microscope test demonstrated that the rapid repair of an oxide film during pulse cavitation played an important role in resisting the cavitation erosion-corrosion. Furthermore, the formation process of oxide film was in situ observed, indicating higher nucleation rate compared with its growth rate. Also, the alloy with such film exhibited lower synergy in pulse mode than that without film in continuous mode.

Abstract. New particle formation (NPF) events occur almost everywhere in the world and can play an important role as a particle source. The frequency and characteristics of NPF events vary spatially and this variability is yet to be fully understood. In the present study, long term particle size distribution datasets (minimum of three years) from thirteen sites of various land uses and climates from across Europe were studied and NPF events, deriving from secondary formation and not traffic related nucleation, were extracted and analysed. The frequency of NPF events was consistently found to be higher at rural background sites, while the growth and formation rates of newly formed particles were higher at roadsides, underlining the importance of the abundance of condensable compounds of anthropogenic origin found there. The growth rate was higher in summer at all rural background sites studied. The urban background sites presented the highest uncertainty due to greater variability compared to the other two types of site. The origin of incoming air masses and the specific conditions associated with them greatly affect the characteristics of NPF events. In general, cleaner air masses present higher probability for NPF events, while the more polluted ones show higher growth rates. However, different patterns of NPF events were found even at sites in close proximity (
OMPS LP Version 2.0 Multi-wavelength Aerosol Extinction Coefficient Retrieval Algorithm
Authors: Taha Ghassan , Loughman Robert , Zhu Tong , Thomason Larry , Kar Jayanta , Rieger Landon , Bourassa Adam
Published: September 2020

Abstract. The OMPS Limb Profiler (LP) instrument is designed to provide high vertical resolution ozone and aerosol profiles from measurements of the scattered solar radiation in the 290–1000 nm spectral range. It collected its first Earth limb measurement on January 10, 2012 and continues to provide daily global measurements of ozone and aerosol profiles from the cloud top up to 60 km and 40 km respectively. The relatively high vertical and spatial sampling allow detection and tracking of sporadic events when aerosol particles are injected into the stratosphere, such as volcanic eruptions or PyroCb events. In this paper we discuss the newly released Version 2.0 OMPS multi-wavelength aerosol extinction coefficient retrieval algorithm. The algorithm now produces aerosol extinction profiles at 510, 600, 674, 745, 869, and 997 nm wavelengths. The OMPS LP Version 2.0 data products are compared to the SAGE III/ISS, OSIRIS and CALIPSO missions and shown to be of good quality and suitable for scientific studies. The comparison shows significant improvements in the OMPS LP retrieval performance in the Southern Hemisphere and at lower altitudes. These improvements arise from use of the longer wavelengths, in contrast with the V1.0 and V1.5 OMPS aerosol retrieval algorithms, which used radiances only at 675 nm and therefore had limited sensitivity in those regions. In particular, the extinction coefficients at 745, 869 and 997 nm are shown to be the most accurate, with relative accuracies and precisions close to 10 % and 15 % respectively, while the 675 nm relative accuracy and precision are on the order of 20 %. The 510 nm extinction coefficient is shown to have limited accuracy in SH and is only recommended for use between 20–24 km, and only in the Northern Hemisphere. The V2.0 retrieval algorithm has been applied to the complete set of OMPS LP measurements and the new data set is publicly available.
Muography as a new tool to study the historic earthquakes recorded in ancient burial mounds
Authors: Tanaka Hiroyuki K. M. , Sumiya Kenji , Oláh László
Published: September 2020

Abstract. Bidirectional muographic measurements were conducted at the Imashirozuka
burial mound, Japan. The mound was built in the beginning of the 6th century
as a megalithic tomb and later collapsed after a landslide caused by the
1596 Fushimi earthquake, one of the largest earthquakes that has occurred
in Japan over the last few centuries. The measurements were conducted in order
to find evidence of this past disaster recorded in this historical heritage
site. As a result, the vertical low-density regions were found at the top of
the mound. These regions were interpreted as large-scale vertical cracks
that caused the translational collapse process behind the rotational
landslide that was already found in prior trench-survey-based works.
These results indicate that there was an intrinsic problem with the
stability of the basic foundation of the Imashirozuka mound before the 1596
Fushimi earthquake.
Constraining the response of phytoplankton to zooplankton grazing and photo-acclimation in a temperate shelf sea with a 1-D model – towards S2P3 v8.0
Authors: Bahamondes Dominguez Angela A. , Hickman Anna E. , Marsh Robert , Moore C. Mark
Published: September 2020

Abstract. An established one-dimensional Shelf Sea Physics and Primary Production (S2P3) model has been developed into three different new models: S2P3-NPZ which includes a nutrient–phytoplankton–zooplankton (NPZ) framework, where the grazing rate is no longer fixed but instead varies over time depending on different functions chosen to represent the predator–prey relationship between zooplankton and phytoplankton; S2P3-Photoacclim which includes a representation of the process of photo-acclimation and flexible stoichiometry in phytoplankton; and S2P3 v8.0 which combines the NPZ framework and the variable stoichiometry of phytoplankton at the same time. These model formulations are compared to buoy and conductivity–temperature–depth (CTD) observations, as well as zooplankton biomass and in situ phytoplankton physiological parameters obtained in the central Celtic Sea (CCS). Models were calibrated by comparison to observations of the timing and magnitude of the spring phytoplankton bloom, magnitude of the spring zooplankton bloom, and phytoplankton physiological parameters obtained throughout the water column. A sensitivity study was also performed for each model to understand the effects of individual parameters on model dynamics. Results demonstrate that better agreement with biological observations can be obtained through the addition of representations of photo-acclimation, flexible stoichiometry, and grazing provided these can be adequately constrained.
GEOBIM FOR DIGITAL BUILDING PERMIT PROCESS: LEARNING FROM A CASE STUDY IN ROTTERDAM
Authors: Noardo F. , Wu T. , Arroyo Ohori K. , Krijnen T. , Tezerdi H. , Stoter J.
Published: September 2020

Abstract. Among the digitalization processes which are being raised in Europe and in the world, the building permit process is seen as one of the priorities by municipalities, governmental institutions and standardization organizations. However, in current practice, the building permit issuing as well as the integration of geoinformation with BIM (GeoBIM) suffers from a number of complex sub-issues. These issues still remain and prevent the development of successful methodologies. In this paper, the building permit use case is explored within a project in close collaboration with the municipality of Rotterdam. A very specific case study in Rotterdam was selected as a starting point, which allowed us to develop the needed methodology for the implementation of an effective tool. In this paper we highlight the interpretation and formalization of regulation for building height, overhang and tower ratio. While these rules are specific to a zoning plan in Rotterdam, we believe that the methodology and encountered issues in formalizing the rules, applying the rules on delivered models and integrating various data sources (BIM and GIS specifically) are general to most building codes.
BIM AND GIS INTEGRATION FOR INFRASTRUCTURE ASSET MANAGEMENT: A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS
Authors: Garramone M. , Moretti N. , Scaioni M. , Ellul C. , Re Cecconi F. , Dejaco M. C.
Published: September 2020

Abstract. The integration of Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) is gaining momentum in digital built Asset Management (AM), and has the potential to improve information management operations and provide advantages in process control and delivery of quality AM services, along with underlying data management benefits through entire life cycle of an asset. Work has been carried out relating GeoBIM/AM to buildings as well as infrastructure assets, where the potential financial savings are extensive. While information form BIM maybe be sufficient for building-AM; for infrastructure AM a combination of GIS and BIM is required. Scientific literature relating to this topic has been growing in recent years and has now reached a point where a systematic analysis of current and potential uses of GeoBIM in AM for Infrastructure is possible. Three specific areas form part of the analysis – a review of BIM and Infrastructure AM and GIS and Infrastructure AM leads to a better understanding of current practice. Combining the two, a review of GeoBIM and Infrastructure AM allows the benefits of, and issues relating to, GeoBIM to be clearly identified, both at technical and operational levels. A set of 54 journal articles was selected for in-depth contents analysis according to the AM function addressed and the managed asset class. The analysis enabled the identification of three categories of issues and opportunities: data management, interoperability and integration and AM process and service management. The identified knowledge gaps, in turn, underpin problem definition for the next phases of research into GeoBIM for infrastructure AM.
An attempt to explain recent changes in European snowfall extremes
Authors: Faranda Davide
Published: September 2020

Abstract. The goal of this work is to investigate and explain recent changes in total and maximum yearly snowfall from daily data in light of current global warming or the interdecadal variability of atmospheric circulation. We focus on the period 1979–2018 and compare two different datasets: the ERA5 reanalysis data and the E-OBSv20.0 data, where snowfall is identified from rainfall by applying a threshold to temperature. We compute changes as differences from quantities computed for the periods 1999–2018 and 1979–1998. On the one hand, we show that the decline in average snowfall observed in almost all European regions is coherent with previous findings and can be linked to global warming. On the other hand, we observe contrasting changes in maxima and sometimes disagreement in the sign of changes in the two datasets. Coherent positive trends are found for a few countries in the Balkans. These have been investigated in details by looking at modifications in the atmospheric weather patterns as well as local thermodynamic factors concurring to large snowfall events. We link these changes to the stronger prevalence of Atlantic Ridge or blocking patterns associated with deeper cyclonic structures over the Adriatic and Tyrrhenian seas. These cyclones find warmer surfaces and large availability of humidity and convective available potential energy (CAPE), thus producing large snowfall amounts, enhanced by the Stau effect on the Balkan topography.
Augmented Kalman filter with a reduced mechanical model to estimate tower loads on a land-based wind turbine: a step towards digital-twin simulations
Authors: Branlard Emmanuel , Giardina Dylan , Brown Cameron S. D.
Published: September 2020

Abstract. This article presents an application of the Kalman filtering technique to estimate loads on a wind turbine. The approach combines a mechanical model and a set of measurements to estimate signals that are not available in the measurements, such as wind speed, thrust, tower position, and tower loads. The model is severalfold faster than real time and is intended to be run online, for instance, to evaluate real-time fatigue life consumption of a field turbine using a digital twin, perform condition monitoring, or assess loads for dedicated control strategies. The mechanical model is built using a Rayleigh–Ritz approach and a set of joint coordinates. We present a general method and illustrate it using a 2-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) model of a wind turbine and using rotor speed, generator torque, pitch, and tower-top acceleration as measurement signals. The different components of the model are tested individually. The overall method is evaluated by computing the errors in estimated tower-bottom-equivalent moment from a set of simulations. From this preliminary study, it appears that the tower-bottom-equivalent moment is obtained with about 10 % accuracy. The limitation of the model and the required steps forward are discussed.
La interseccionalidad como herramienta analítica para la praxis crítica del Trabajo Social. Reflexiones en torno a la soledad no deseada
Authors: Martínez Jone
Published: September 2020

En este artículo se recoge una propuesta para profundizar en la praxis crítica del Trabajo Social. Se parte de una comprensión de esta profesión como artesanía de las conexiones que favorece la sensibilidad de esta forma de praxis, y se plantea incorporar la perspectiva interseccional en los  momentos de su puesta en marcha: la alfabetización, la identificación del malestar y la contradicción estructural que lo genera, y la experimentación reflexiva. Se explica que la interseccionalidad, como herramienta analítica, puede interesar a la práctica del agente-trabajador social porque permite una comprensión contextualizada de la complejidad con la que se experimenta la opresión, facilitando la labor de realizar conexiones orientadas a la justicia social. Asímismo, con el propósito de abrir el diálogo sobre las posibilidades de esta propuesta, se problematiza la soledad no deseada a la luz de la interseccionalidad y se explora el papel del/a trabajador/a social en la gestión de la acción pública contra este malestar.
La alienación parental, presente en familias del noroeste de México. Los nuevos retos del Trabajo Social
Authors: Alemán Jesus Acevedo
Published: September 2020

El síndrome de alienación parental (SAP) se ha entendido como  conducta de denigración o rechazo de su progenitor por parte del niño, producto de la influencia maliciosa de alguno de sus padres o incluso de terceros. Es un proceso en el que se manipula la mente de los menores para que repitan mentiras, historias fantasiosas, descripciones de abusos o maltratos inexistentes,  creados por el padre o la figura que alinea al menor. Hoy en día, se reconoce que la alienación parental no solo se presenta en los procesos de litigio o en las disputas legales por la custodia de los hijos, sino que, de igual manera, se presenta dentro de las dinámicas familiares cotidianas. En tal sentido, el objetivo del presente artículo es identificar la presencia de prácticas de alineación en 150 familias, de 12 colonias de la Ciudad de Saltillo, Coahuila, México. Se concluye que la alienación parental está presente en las familias estudiadas, destacando que ninguna de ellas se encuentra en procesos de separación o de litigio por la custodia de los niños. De ello deriva que no necesariamente debe  presentarse un proceso formal de separación para que exista la alienación parental  o sus efectos e impactos.
Dinámicas organizativas constrictivas en los servicios sociales en España
Authors: Sánchez Castiñeira Sergio
Published: September 2020

Este artículo analiza algunas de las ineficacias y deformaciones que pueden producirse en el sistema de bienestar español. Es un estudio de caso de los servicios sociales de Atención Social  Primaria en la ciudad de Tarragona  durante la reciente crisis económica. A partir de las 12 entrevistas en profundidad a personas usuarias, se identifican sus experiencias de injusticia y privación de los derechos sociales. El análisis vincula estas experiencias constrictivas con las condiciones organizativas de los servicios sociales básicos. Los resultados exponen que la falta e inadecuación de recursos en los servicios sociales de Atención Social Primaria han favorecido unos mecanismos discriminatorios en la selección de personas beneficiarias, así como unos desajustes en la implementación de prestaciones y servicios.De esta forma, la gestión de la pobreza que realizan los servicios sociales básicos puede penalizar la población empobrecida de forma ineficaz, injusta y dolorosa. Finalmente, el artículo plantea algunas recomendaciones para que los servicios sociales básicos sean más eficaces en la consecución de sus objetivos de bienestar y justicia sociales.
Actitudes del gremio médico hacia las prácticas profesionales de las trabajadoras y los trabajadores sociales sanitarios
Authors: Martínez Sierra Pedro Daniel
Published: September 2020

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo: analizar las actitudes del gremio médico respecto a las prácticas profesionales de las/los trabajadores sociales sanitarios. Para su desarrollo se ha utilizado la teoría de las representaciones sociales de Serge Moscovici, por ser una opción con herramientas conceptuales y metodológicas que permiten una aproximación a las actitudes de las/los sujetos. Es un estudio cualitativo, donde las técnicas e instrumentos empleados para la recuperación de los datos empíricos han sido entrevista y cuestionario, dirigidos a médicos/as de base y residentes de las siguientes especialidades: medicina interna, pediatría, ginecología, oncología, terapia intensiva y patología del Hospital General de México, institución pública de segundo nivel de atención en salud. Los hallazgos del estudio dieron cuenta, de que, para los médicos, la práctica de las/los trabajadores sociales se reduce al tareas de carácter administrativo, lo que no implica necesariamente una actitud negativa hacia este ejercicio profesional. Consideran a los trabajadores sociales un grupo importante en el movimiento hospitalario, con una alta carga de trabajo que resuelve diversos procesos burocráticos. Sin embargo, no los reconocen como grupo de profesionales que puede aportar un conocimiento científico para mejorar la salud de las/los pacientes.
Grief, Phantoms, and Re-membering Loss
Authors: Fullarton Catherine
Published: September 2020

In this article, I consider comparisons of grief to amputation and phantom limbs, in memoirs of loss, to argue that we should conceive of grieving as a transformative rather than recuperative process. Phenomenological work by Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Matthew Ratcliffe reveals that grief and phantom limbs both attest to the structural significance of embodied and intersubjective habits, and how such habits persist even after they have become inexecutable by changes in objective circumstances. Both experiences, furthermore, involve a refusal or reluctance. I argue that such reluctance is a meaningful response to the loss marked by grief, and that we should therefore conceive of grieving not as a process in which we recuperate former ways of being, but as a transformative process in which we articulate new relational habits. Resources for this re-conception, I suggest, can be found in Havi Carel's phenomenological work on chronic illness and disability.
Expression, Animation, and Intelligibility: Concepts for a Decolonial Feminist Affect Theory
Authors: Guilmette Lauren
Published: September 2020

This article considers Lisa Feldman Barrett's challenge to Darwin's claim—popularized by Paul Ekman's cross-cultural studies—that facial expressions are intelligible across the species. Barrett considers how Ekman's research expectations normalize Eurocentric gestures; she proposes that emotions are not hardwired but constructed in a dynamic interplay of interpretation and prediction. Drawing connections between this argument and decolonial feminist challenges to prominent Western accounts of what it means to be human—including Sylvia Wynter on the “ethnoclass of Man” and Sianne Ngai on racialized and feminized “animatedness”—this article explores what assumptions might underpin claims of affective intelligibility across cultures, and develops concepts toward a decolonial feminist affect theory.
The State of Example: Sovereignty and Bare Speech in Plato's Laws
Authors: Leib Robert S.
Published: September 2020

Giorgio Agamben gives us two ways to conceive of sovereign power: according to the exception and according to the example. He famously follows the former in his Homo Sacer project, but I develop and follow the latter, which I find present in Plato's Laws. There, Plato gives us a view of sovereignty in its constitutional moment, showing us how constituting and constituted power emerge together from the relationship between law and the communal narrative upon which it rests. This form of sovereignty cannot be expressed according to the state of exception but requires an analysis from the state of example. The figure that emerges here, homo magus, provides the basis for an alternate archaeology of power, one in which sovereignty does not attempt to reduce political subjectivity to “bare life” but rather attempts to reduce political speech to “bare speech.”

This paper investigates the impact of board diversity on the performance and riskiness of banks across Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries. We emphasize identifying features of the board structure that could increase performance and lower the possible losses of banks. Using a unique, hand-collected dataset of 156 banks from CEE countries during 2005-2012, we assess whether banks with more female directors or chairwomen display lower risk and higher performance. The analysis first shows that banks with a chairwoman and a higher proportion of females among the members of a bank's board record a higher level of profitability and tend to have a lower level of credit losses. Additionally, the results suggest that the higher proportion of females among members on bank boards, on average, the higher the level of bank stability during the financial crisis of 2008. Our results also reveal that the regulatory framework in the host-country affects the relationship between board gender diversity and bank performance and risk.

Published: September 2020

The main objective of our study is to analyse the relation between early-stage entrepreneurs' age and their international orientation in the Balkan region economies, which are facing increasing globalisation and an ageing population. Based on the existing theory, we link the international orientation with some additional influencing determinants, such as the entrepreneurs' innovativeness, their growth aspirations and the financial resources required. Our results underline the importance of institutional frameworks and the moderating effects of age and these influencing determinants, on international orientation. Accordingly, we emphasise the significance of associating explanatory variables with the early-stage entrepreneurs' age. Data from six countries in the Balkan region were obtained from the year 2015 Global Entrepreneurship Monitor Adult Population Survey. The study contributes to a better understanding of the international orientation of senior (in terms of age) early-stage entrepreneurs in the Balkan region. Given the changes that have occurred with increasing globalisation and an ageing population, the concept of this particular group of entrepreneurs is important for national and regional policy makers.

Background: Studies have indicated that diabetic children are at risk of developing other diseases such as depression. Objectives: This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of depression in diabetic children and identify factors that influence it. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 125 diabetic children in the 7 - 16 age range who had attended the Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinic of the Children’s Medical Center affiliated to Tehran University of Medical Sciences. Children’s Depression Inventory (CDI) was used to assess depression. Results: The study showed 44% of the children were nondepressed, 14.4% depressed and 41.6% borderline. Depression in the diabetic children was not significantly associated with age, gender, injection tools, socioeconomic status, body mass index, number of siblings, disease duration, frequency of injections, number of injected units, and frequency of blood glucose monitoring. Depression was significantly associated with the level of mother’s education (P < 0.001), father’s education (P = 0.01), frequency of hospitalization (P = 0.04) and level of HbA1c (P = 0.03). Conclusions: According to the results of the study, metabolic control reduces the HbA1c level and the frequency of hospitalization, thereby mitigating the risk of depression in the diabetic children. The educational level of parents, especially mother, is also effective in minimizing this risk in diabetic children.

Objectives: The present study was conducted to raise attention to the frequency of Candida spp. and evaluation of risk factors of candidemia in hospitalized neonates and children. Methods: Identification of Candida at species level was done using the PCR-RFLP method. The Candida albicans complex and Candida parapsilosis complex were differentiated using the HWP1 gene amplification and PCR-RFLP with NlaIII restriction enzyme, respectively. Results: Out of 75 blood culture specimens, 42 (84%) cases were positive for Candida spp. of whom 30 (71.42%) and 12 (28.57%) cases were female and male, respectively. Thirty-two (76%) candidemia were presented in pediatrics with 6 years up to 12 years, 10 (23.80%) in neonates of one month or less. In the present study, Candida parapsilosis (n =25; 59.52%) was the most prevalent isolated species followed by C. albicans (n =11; 26.19%), C. tropicalis (n =4; 9.52%), and Candida glabrata (n =2; 4.76%). Conclusions: According to potentially dangerous complications of bloodstream infection by Candida spp. in neonates and children, it is necessary to identify and eliminate the underlying conditions and risk factors of this disease.

Eosinophilic disorders and related syndromes represent a heterogeneous group of neoplastic and nonneoplastic conditions, characterized by more eosinophils in the peripheral blood, and may involve eosinophil-induced organ damage. In the WHO classification of myeloid and lymphoid neoplasms, eosinophilic disorders characterized by dysregulated tyrosine kinase (TK) fusion genes are recognized as a new category termed,myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms with eosinophilia and rearrangement ofPDGFRA,PDGFRBorFGFR1or withPCM1-JAK2.In addition to these aforementioned TK fusion genes, rearrangements involvingFLT3andABL1genes have also been described. These new NCCN Guidelines include recommendations for the diagnosis, staging, and treatment of any one of the myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms with eosinophilia (MLN-Eo) and a TK fusion gene included in the 2017 WHO Classification, as well as MLN-Eo and aFLT3orABL1rearrangement.
A Practical Guide for Using Myelofibrosis Prognostic Models in the Clinic
Authors: How Joan , Hobbs Gabriela S.
Published: September 2020

Primary myelofibrosis (PMF) has the least favorable prognosis of the Philadelphia chromosome–negative myeloproliferative neoplasms, which also include essential thrombocythemia (ET) and polycythemia vera (PV). However, clinical presentations and outcomes of PMF vary widely, with median overall survival ranging from years to decades. Given the heterogeneity of PMF, there has been considerable effort to develop discriminatory prognostic models to help with management decisions, particularly for the consideration of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in patients at higher risk. Although earlier models incorporated only clinical features in risk stratification, contemporary models increasingly use molecular and cytogenetic features, leading to more comprehensive prognostication. This article reviews the most widely adopted prognostic models used for PMF, including the International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS), dynamic IPSS (DIPSS)/DIPSS+, mutation-enhanced IPSS for transplant-age patients (MIPSS70)/MIPSS70+/MIPSS70+ version 2.0, genetically inspired prognostic scoring system, and Myelofibrosis Secondary to PV and ET-Prognostic Model in patients with post-ET/PV myelofibrosis. We also discuss newly emerging prognostic models and provide a practical approach to risk stratification in patients with PMF and post-ET/PV myelofibrosis.
