Monitoring Water Quality of the Haihe River Based on Ground-Based Hyperspectral Remote Sensing
Authors: Cao Qi , Yu Gongliang , Sun Shengjie , Dou Yong , Li Hua , Qiao Zhiyi
Published: December 2021

The Haihe River is a typical sluice-controlled river in the north of China. The construction and operation of sluice dams change the flow and other hydrological factors of rivers, which have adverse effects on water, making it difficult to study the characteristics of water quality change and water environment control in northern rivers. In recent years, remote sensing has been widely used in water quality monitoring. However, due to the low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the limitation of instrument resolution, satellite remote sensing is still a challenge to inland water quality monitoring. Ground-based hyperspectral remote sensing has a high temporal-spatial resolution and can be simply fixed in the water edge to achieve real-time continuous detection. A combination of hyperspectral remote sensing devices and BP neural networks is used in the current research to invert water quality parameters. The measured values and remote sensing reflectance of eight water quality parameters (chlorophyll-a (Chl-a), phycocyanin (PC), total suspended sediments (TSS), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), ammonia nitrogen (NH4-N), nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N), and pH) were modeled and verified. The results show that the performance R2 of the training model is above 80%, and the performance R2 of the verification model is above 70%. In the training model, the highest fitting degree is TN (R2 = 1, RMSE = 0.0012 mg/L), and the lowest fitting degree is PC (R2 = 0.87, RMSE = 0.0011 mg/L). Therefore, the application of hyperspectral remote sensing technology to water quality detection in the Haihe River is a feasible method. The model built in the hyperspectral remote sensing equipment can help decision-makers to easily understand the real-time changes of water quality parameters.
Genotypic and Phenotypic Characteristics of Hereditary Colorectal Cancer
Authors: Kim Jin Cheon , Bodmer Walter F.
Published: December 2021

The genomic causes and clinical manifestations of hereditary colorectal cancer (HCRC) might be stratified into 2 groups, namely, familial (FCRC) and a limited sense of HCRC, respectively. Otherwise, FCRC is canonically classified into 2 major categories; Lynch syndrome (LS) or associated spectra and inherited polyposis syndrome. By contrast, despite an increasing body of genotypic and phenotypic traits, some FCRC cannot be clearly differentiated as definitively single type, and the situation has become more complex as additional causative genes have been discovered. This review provides an overview of HCRC, including 6 LS or associated spectra and 8 inherited polyposis syndromes, according to molecular pathogenesis. Variants and newly-identified FCRC are particularly emphasized, including MUTYH (or MYH)-associated polyposis, Muir-Torre syndrome, constitutional mismatch repair deficiency, EPCAM-associated LS, polymerase proofreading-associated polyposis, RNF43- or NTHL1-associated serrated polyposis syndrome, PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome, and hereditary mixed polyposis syndrome. We also comment on the clinical utility of multigene panel tests, focusing on comprehensive cancer panels that include HCRC. Finally, HCRC surveillance strategies are recommended, based on revised or notable concepts underpinned by competent validation and clinical implications, and favoring major guidelines. As hereditary syndromes are mainly attributable to genomic constitutions of distinctive ancestral groups, an integrative national HCRC registry and guideline is an urgent priority.
Lateral Pelvic Lymph Node Dissection After Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy in Patients With Rectal Cancer: A Single-Center Experience and Literature Review
Authors: Kim Min Chul , Oh Jae Hwan
Published: December 2021

Purpose: We aimed to evaluate the surgicopathological outcomes of lateral pelvic lymph node dissection (LPLD) and long-term oncological outcomes of selective LPLD after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer and compare them to those of total mesorectal excision (TME) alone based on pretreatment magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).Methods: We compared the TME-alone group (2001–2009, n=102) with the TME with LPLD group (2011–2016, n=69), both groups having lateral lymph nodes (LLNs) of ≥5 mm in short axis diameter. The surgicopathological outcomes were analyzed retrospectively. Oncological outcomes were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method.Results: The rates of overall postoperative 30-day morbidity (42.0% vs. 26.5%, P=0.095) and urinary retention (13.7% vs. 10.1%, P=0.484) were not significantly different between the LPLD and TME-alone groups, respectively. Pathologically proven LLN metastasis was identified in 24 (34.8%) LPLD cases after nCRT. The LPLD group showed a lower 5-year local recurrence (LR) rate (27.9% vs. 4.6%, P<0.001) and better recurrence-free survival (RFS) (59.6% vs. 78.2%, P=0.008) than those of the TME-alone group, while the 5-year overall survival was not significantly different between the 2 groups (76.2% vs. 86.5%, P=0.094).Conclusion: This study suggests that LPLD is a safe and feasible procedure. The oncological outcomes suggest that selective LPLD improves LR and RFS in patients with clinically suspicious LLNs on pretreatment MRI. Considering that lateral nodal disease is not common, a multicenter large-scale study is necessary.

Authors: RAZUMNA A.
Published: December 2021

The article reveals the influence of the role positions of "mature personality", "qualified specialist", "coach (effective student)", chosen by the teacher-doctor in cooperation with medical students, on the formation of their personal-professional (metaprofessional), professional and educational professional identity. It is stated that professional identity is a stabilizer of personal, professional, developmental educational and professional orientation of the future specialist, is a mental source of building the image of the ideal self. It is noted that in the motivational aspect and improvement of certain own professionally important characteristics and competencies, attempts to meet the socialization norms and modern requirements of the professional community, to which he a priori belongs. The formation of the student's identity in the educational institution occurs in the processes of identification of the teacher as a reference person, self-identification through imitation of his important traits and role positions, reflection of the teacher's assessments of his role manifestations. It is shown that the actualization by the teacher of certain role positions in interaction with students gives them the opportunity to self-identify as individuals, future medical professionals, effective students through the vicar's mastery of specific practical actions. Facilitation support by the teacher of students' actualization of relevant role positions promotes self-affirmation of their respective identities. It is established that in the situation of students' interaction with the teacher two groups of processes are actualized, which determine the formation of their identity: the first - self-determined - is realized as self-determination and self-construction on the basis of observation of the teacher as a model. his role manifestations on the part of the teacher, who facilitates and mentally consolidates his self-identification image.

It is determined that the pedagogical essence of the teacher's role positions corresponds to modern pedagogical approaches that are implemented in the training of future medical professionals: the role of "mature personality" - personal approach, "specialist" - competence, "effective student" - student-centered.

Authors: Hirst Jennifer A , Taal Maarten W , Fraser Simon DS , Mena José M Ordóñez , O’Callaghan Chris A , McManus Richard J , Taylor Clare J , Yang Yaling , Ogburn Emma , Hobbs FD Richard
Published: December 2021

Background

Decline in kidney function can result in adverse health outcomes. The Oxford Renal Cohort Study has detailed baseline assessments from 884 participants ≥60 years of age.

Aim

To determine the proportion of participants with a decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), identify determinants of decline, and determine proportions with chronic kidney disease (CKD) remission.

Design and setting

Observational cohort study in UK primary care.

Method

Data were used from baseline and annual follow-up assessments to monitor change in kidney function. Rapid eGFR decline was defined as eGFR decrease >5 ml/min/1.73 m2/year, improvement as eGFR increase >5 ml/min/1.73 m2/year, and remission in those with CKD at baseline and eGFR >60 ml/min/1.73 m2 during follow-up. Cox proportional hazard models were used to identify factors associated with eGFR decline.

Results

There was a net decline in eGFR in the 884 participants over 5 years of follow-up. In 686 participants with >2 eGFR tests with a median follow-up of 2.1 years, 164 (24%) evidenced rapid GFR decline, 185 (27%) experienced eGFR improvement, and 82 of 394 (21%) meeting CKD stage 1–4 at baseline experienced remission. In the multivariable analysis, smoking status, higher systolic blood pressure, and being known to have CKD at cohort entry were associated with rapid GFR decline. Those with CKD stage 3 at baseline were less likely to exhibit GFR decline compared with normal kidney function.

Conclusion

This study established that 24% of people evidenced rapid GFR decline whereas 21% evidenced remission of CKD. People at risk of rapid GFR decline may benefit from closer monitoring and appropriate treatment to minimise risks of adverse outcomes, although only a small proportion meet the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence criteria for referral to secondary care.

Authors: Hardi Fransiskus , Tamur Maximus , Nendi Fransiskus
Published: December 2021

In teaching, the teacher emphasizes identifying the dominant intelligence and learning styles to improve student achievement. However, exploring interpersonal and linguistic intelligence and its relationship to student achievement is still rarely done. This correlational research was conducted to describe the relationship between interpersonal and linguistic intelligence with high school students' mathematics learning achievement. The samples of this study were students of class XI SMA Budi Dharma Cancar Indonesia (n=30). The data were collected using a questionnaire and the pure grades of the students' midterm exams. The data analysis technique uses Product Moment Correlation as a statistical test tool to test the hypothesis of the relationship between two variables after fulfilling the prerequisite test. The results showed a positive relationship between interpersonal and linguistic intelligence and students' mathematics learning achievement. Although this study was limited to two bits of intelligence, it is essential to note that the findings of this study indicate that the number of intelligence at the dominant level can predict learning achievement in school.
Optimal Image Based Information Hiding with One-dimensional Chaotic Systems and Dynamic Programming
Authors: Song Yinglei , Song Jia , Qu Junfeng
Published: December 2021

Information hiding is a technology aimed at the secure hiding of important information into digital documents or media. In this paper, a new approach is proposed for the secure hiding of information into gray scale images. The hiding is performed in two stages. In the first stage, the binary bits in the sequence of information are shuffled and encoded with a set of integer keys and a system of one-dimensional logistic mappings. In the second stage, the resulting sequence is embedded into the gray values of selected pixels in the given image. A dynamic programming method is utilized to select the pixels that minimize the difference between a cover image and the corresponding stego image. Experiments show that this approach outperforms other information hiding methods by 13.1% in Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) on average and reduces the difference between a stego image and its cover image to 0 in some cases.

Published: December 2021

Background and aims: Staphylococcus aureus, an important pathogen in bone diseases, is a highly multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacterium. This study aimed to investigate the antibiotic resistance among S. aureus isolated from patients on admission in an orthopaedic hospital. Methods: In this cross-sectional research, 140 samples comprising urine samples, wound swabs, and nasal swabs were collected from 49 patients on admission. Samples were cultured and screened for S. aureus following standard procedures. Using the agar-disk diffusion method, the isolates were subjected to antibiotics susceptibility tests. Results: S. aureus were isolated from 26 (18.6%) samples, and wound swabs were found to have the highest number of the S. aureus isolates with 12 (46.2%). Among the 26 S. aureus isolated, 25 (96.2%) isolates were resistant to at least four or more of the tested antibiotics. There were 23 (88.5%) MDR isolates, while there were only 2 (7.6%) extensively drug resistant ones. The number of methicillin-resistant S. aureus were 17 (65.4% of the isolates), while the number of methicillin-susceptible S. aureus were 9 (34.6% of the isolates). A total of 22 (84.6%) isolates had multi-antibiotic resistance (MAR) index greater than 0.2. Inducible clindamycin resistance of 2 (7.6%) was observed. Conclusion: This study showed that the S. aureus isolated from the patients were resistant to multiple antibiotics. Regular surveillance of antibiotic resistance is of utmost importance, since it facilitates the design or development of the treatment regimens that could check the spread of antimicrobial resistance.

Visión crítica de la normativa supranacional y nacional sobre violencia contra la mujer
Authors: Silva Villacorta Susana Paola
Published: December 2021

La normativa supranacional y nacional ha reconocido los derechos de todas las personas en general, proscribiendo la discriminación por razón de sexo. En las últimas décadas, se ha introducido el término “género” buscando proteger los derechos de las mujeres y eliminar la violencia contra ellas. Sin embargo, la ideología de género no sienta sus bases en la realidad y tampoco sirve a la finalidad que persigue. Para lograr una vida libre de violencia se debe empezar por reconocer que todos los seres humanos son personas, que la dignidad es una cualidad inherente a todo ser humano y que, por tal razón, todos somos sujetos de derecho, merecedores de respeto y un trato acorde con nuestra naturaleza. Hombres y mujeres participamos de una misma dignidad, pero al mismo tiempo somos diferentes, lo que nos hace complementarios. Las diferencias, tomando en cuenta la dignidad y la libertad de cada uno, son riqueza, no son causa de violencia.

This meta-analysis examined social communication outcomes in augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) interventions, or those that involved aided (e.g., speech generating devices, picture point systems) or unaided AAC (e.g., gestures, manual sign language) as a component of intervention, and the extent to which communication outcomes were predicted by participant characteristics. Variables of interest included chronological age, communication mode used prior to intervention, number of words produced and imitation skills of participants prior to intervention. Investigators identified 117 primary studies that implemented AAC interventions with school-aged individuals (up to 22 years) with autism spectrum disorder and/or intellectual disability associated with complex communication needs and assessed social-communication outcomes. All included studies involved single-case experimental designs and met basic study design quality standards. We synthesized findings across studies using two complementary effect size indices, Tau(AB) and the log response ratio, and multi-level meta-analysis with robust variance estimation. With Tau(AB), the overall average effect across 338 participants was 0.72, 95% CI [0.67, 0.76], with a high degree of heterogeneity across studies. With the log response ratio, the overall average effect corresponded to a 538% increase from baseline levels of responding, 95% CI [388%, 733%], with a high degree of heterogeneity across studies and contrasts. Moderator analyses detected few differences in effectiveness when comparing across diagnoses, ages, the number and type of communication modes the participants used prior to intervention, the number of words used by the participants prior to intervention, and imitation use prior to intervention.

Photovoltaic (PV)-powered vehicles are expected to play a critical role in a future carbon neutrality society because it has been reported that vehicle integrated PVs (VIPVs) have great ability to reduce CO2 emission from the transport sector. The development of high-efficiency solar cell modules is very important for this end. In this paper, analytical results for the impact of high-efficiency solar cell modules on increases in electric vehicle (EV) driving distance, reducing CO2 emission and saving charging cost of EV powered by PV are shown. The III–V triple-junction and Si tandem solar cell modules with an efficiency of more than 35% have the potential of the EV driving distance of more than 30 km d−1 on average and more than 50 km d−1 on a clear day. The effects of temperature, partial shading, curved surface, and color variation of solar cell modules upon output power of the VIPV are also briefly shown.

Banggai cardinalfish (Pterapogon kauderni) adalah salah satu ikan hias endemik perairan Sulawesi Tengah. Dalam proses pemijahannya, induk jantan akan mengerami telur hingga memasuki fase juvenil. Kondisi tersebut (lamanya masa pengeraman) tentunya akan menghambat peningkatan populasi ikan P. kauderni dengan target jumlah dalam waktu tertentu terlebih jumlah induk jantan yang terbatas. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mendapatkan dosis hormon 17α-methyltestosteron (17α-MT) terbaik dalam menghasilkan rasio kelamin jantan ikan P. kauderni yang tinggi. Penelitian didesain menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap dengan mengujikan empat perlakuan dosis 17α-MT meliputi 0 mg/L; 2 mg/L; 4 mg/L dan 6 mg/L air yang diterapkan melalui metode perendaman selama 4 jam. Setiap perlakuan dilakukan 4 kali ulangan. Hasil perlakuan perendaman larva dengan hormon 17α-MT pada dosis berbeda tidak berpengaruh terhadap laju pertumbuhan harian ikan P. kauderni (P>0,05). Pertambahan biomasa dan kelangsungan hidup lebih rendah pada perlakuan dosis 6 mg/L air. Rasio kelamin jantan ikan P. kauderni tertinggi terjadi pada perlakuan dosis 2 mg/L air yakni sebesar 91,67%.
Neutron Detection in Mixed Neutron-Gamma Fields with Common NaI(Tl) Detectors

Published: December 2021

Searching digitized detector signals for piled-up delayed components with distinct energy and delay time signatures is a smart method to provide common NaI(Tl) detectors with additional neutron detection capabilities at no extra cost. This technique nicely complements the idea of neutron detection by analyzing events with high energy depositions above the range of common gamma-ray energies. In combination, both approaches can provide half of the neutron sensitivity offered by a commercial 6Li co-doped NaI(Tl) (NaIL™) scintillator of the same size, at the price of higher and load-dependent background contributions. Delayed-coincidence techniques are most suitable for neutron monitoring or long-term measurements, where the statistics of the acquired delay-time distributions allows separate fitting of the effect and background contributions. In this case, the thermal neutron flux can be quantified in parallel to gamma-ray spectroscopy at overall detector loads exceeding 10 kcps.
