Introdução: A ventilação não invasiva (VNI) apresenta benefícios comprovados em diversas condições clínicas, entretanto, os resultados em pacientes com câncer são controversos. Objetivos: Analisar os fatores preditores para falha da VNI em pacientes oncológicos; descrever a mortalidade hospitalar e a sobrevida global após internação. Método: Estudo de coorte retrospectiva incluindo pacientes com tumores sólidos e neoplasias hematológicas, admitidos para internação hospitalar no Hospital do Câncer I do Instituto Nacional de Câncer José Alencar Gomes da Silva (HC I/INCA), entre 1º de janeiro e 31 de dezembro de 2017, e que foram submetidos à VNI. A associação entre as variáveis de exposição (variáveis clínicas e sociodemográficas) e os desfechos (falha na VNI) foi realizada pela regressão logística bruta e ajustada. Foi utilizado o método de Kaplan-Meier para análise da sobrevida global. Resultados: Foram incluídos 66 pacientes com média de idade de 62,3 anos (±15,0). O tempo médio de VNI na primeira sessão foi de 49,8 minutos (±30,9); o número médio de sessões foi de 2,1 (±1,4). Os pacientes que apresentaram falha tiveram maior tempo de internação hospitalar (11,8 dias vs 6,0 dias) e maior mortalidade hospitalar (90,9 vs 43,6%). Os pacientes com infecção pulmonar tiveram um risco de 4,71 vezes maior de falharem na VNI, em relação àqueles pacientes que apresentaram sucesso (OR 4,71; IC 95%, 1,14-19,47; p=0,032).

Tradicijska glazba Istre u nastavi glazbene kulture nižih razreda osnovne škole
Authors: Močinić Snježana , Crnčić Brajković Marija
Published: July 2019

Tradicijska glazba utkana je u životu svake ljudske zajednice te se u njoj odražava način razmišljanja i stil života ljudi koji su ju stvarali, očuvali i prenosili mlađim generacijama. Osim što je izraz kreativnosti i želje za zabavom, tradicijska glazba dio je običaja i obreda vezanih uz svakidašnji život i važne događaje u životu svakog pojedinca. Nekada se generacijama prenosila isključivo usmenom predajom.
Danas napretkom tehnike, sredstava komunikacije, usavršavanjem metoda poučavanja postaje to sve više zadaća škole. Prema nastavnom planu i programu za osnovnu školu na snazi u Republici Hrvatskoj (2006.) učitelj ima slobodu izbora tradicijskih motiva i napjeva kao i drugih tradicijskih sadržaja koje može uvrstiti u svoj izvedbeni nastavni program. U radu su iskazani podaci o realizaciji takvih sadržaja. U empirijskom istraživanju anketnim upitnikom ispitani su stavovi učitelja
nižih razreda osnovne škole južne Istre o zastupljenosti tradicijske glazbe u nastavi Glazbene kulture. Istraživanje je pokazalo različitosti
u realizaciji tradicijskih sadržaja uvjetovane u prvom redu osobnim stajalištem učitelja/nastavnika. U očuvanju glazbene baštine suvremeni organizirani odgojno-obrazovni sustav ima neprocjenjivu ulogu. Redovnom
nastavom i izvannastavnim aktivnostima uz korelaciju s ostalim područjima učitelji mogu pomoću tradicijske glazbe upotpuniti širinu spoznaja te pridonijeti razvoju učeničkih znanja i vještina.
Vrste rečenica u uzorcima govornoga jezika djece mlađe školske dobi
Authors: Mamula Maja , Trtanj Ivana
Published: July 2019

Iako se sintaksa najintenzivnije razvija između treće i pete godine, sintaktički se razvoj, doduše mnogo sporije, nastavlja i tijekom školovanja. Cilj je ovoga rada utvrditi glavne vrste rečenica koje su djeca usvojila u 2. i u 4. razredu kada se vrste rečenica još ne uče prema nastavnom planu i programu. Nadalje, želi se utvrditi postoje li individualne razlike među djecom, kao i upotrebljavaju li djeca starije dobne skupine složenije rečenične strukture od mlađe dobne skupine. Uz navedeno, naglasak u radu jest i na uporabi odnosnih rečenica jer je uporaba rečenica s umetnutim strukturama najveće dostignuće jezičnoga razvoja i njima se intenzivno ovladava tek u školskoj dobi (Balija, Hržica, Kuvač Kraljević, 2012.).

U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 20 djece mlađe školske dobi – osmogodišnjaci i desetogodišnjaci. Njihova ovladanost vrstama rečenica ispitana je slikovnicom ‘Frog, where are you?’ (Mayer 1969).

Rezultati su pokazali da djeca mlađe školske dobi proizvode različite rečenične strukture. Proizvode više složenih nego jednostavnih
rečenica, a unutar složenih rečenica najzastupljenije su višestrukosložene rečenice. Od nezavisnosloženih rečenica djeca proizvode sastavne i suprotne rečenice te rečenični niz. Unutar jednostavnih najviše je proširenih rečenica. Pojavljuje se i mali broj neproširenih te svega jedna neoglagoljena rečenica.
The use of coaching skills for better teaching and educational results
Authors: Penca Palčič Marjana
Published: July 2019

The purpose of the article is to show how knowledge of coaching skills can help achieve the desired results in pedagogical practice faster and more efficiently. When coaching skills are known by a team of teachers, these teachers can offer each other support in personal and professional
growth (collegial coaching). They do not necessarily have to be professional coaches. It is essential that the teacher acting as a coach
uses specifically selected questions. These need to encourage their interlocutor to think and find their own solutions to achieve the goal. They must be open and nonsuggestive. In this way, the interlocutor will come up with solutions that they would have come to with a lot more difficulty or even not at all. Conversation, guided by coaching questions, can also help learners in the difficulties they encounter. It
is important that the interlocutor wants to solve the problem, the challenge. The case study shows how to use coaching skills, especially coaching questions, in pedagogical practice.

Istraživanje je provedeno među studentima Odjela za nastavničke studije u
Gospiću Sveučilišta u Zadru, u ljetnom semestru akademske godine 2017./2018. Svrha istraživanja bila je dobivanje što potpunijeg uvida u zadovoljstvo studenata studijem ne bi li se na negativne stavove na vrijeme reagiralo, a na pozitivna iskustva o studiju obratila pozornost te ih se održalo takvima ili pak dodatno popravilo. Pokazalo se da su studenti iznadprosječno zadovoljni studijem što je uglavnom u suprotnosti s rezultatima ostalih istraživanja među hrvatskim studentima te da su zadovoljniji studenti diplomskog studija negoli su to studenti preddiplomskog studija, što također nije u skladu s većinom istraživanja u kojima je podjednako (ne)zadovoljstvo studenata na svim razinama studija. Također, nalazi istraživanja pokazuju i da postoji negativna povezanost između studenata kojima je ovaj studij drugi izbor i
zadovoljstva studijem, ali i da je zadovoljstvo studijem i zadovoljstvo
nastavnicima na studiju usko povezano, što je u skladu s očekivanjima. Od čimbenika uključenih u ovo istraživanje, zadovoljstvo nastavnicima pokazalo se kao najbitniji prediktor zadovoljstva studijem. S obzirom na
to da su ovakva istraživanja relativno rijetka u Hrvatskoj, rad donosi i
neka potencijalna teorijska polazišta za buduća istraživanja ovih odnosa.

Authors: Campbell Yvonne Michelle , Ghazali Kamila , Sahuri Sakina Sahuri Suffian
Published: July 2019

This study aimed to establish the genre status of the Bidayuh oral folk narrative, known as dondan, with a focus on the Bau-Jagoi Bidayuh group. In order to analyse the genre status of the dondan, the Generic Structure Potential (GSP) is used. The analyses revealed that the dondan has a similar GSP to English Fairy Tales but differs in terms of one of the elements, the Placement, which is an obligatory element in the dondan. The study also revealed that the Semantic Attributes which realises these GSP elements are more culturally based. Although the GSP of the dondan is similar to English Fairy Tales, it is the optional elements that reflect the culturally related elements of the dondan especially the communicative purpose to educate and disseminate cultural knowledge. Future work on oral folk narrative should include in-depth analysis of lexicogrammatical items.

LNMAT1 Promotes Invasion-Metastasis Cascade in Malignant Melanoma by Epigenetically Suppressing CADM1 Expression
Authors: Mou Kuanhou , Zhang Xiang , Mu Xin , Ge Rui , Han Dan , Zhou Yan , Wang Lijuan
Published: July 2019

The invasion-metastasis cascade is one of the most important factors relating to poor survival and prognosis of malignant melanoma (MM) patients. Long non-coding RNA lymph node metastasis associated transcript 1 (LNMAT1) is a key regulator in lymph node metastasis of multiple cancer types, but the roles and underlying mechanisms of LNMAT1 in the invasion-metastasis cascade of MM remain unclear. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the expression and function of LNMAT1 in MM. Here, we found that LNMAT1 was upregulated in MM tissues and cells, and its expression levels were further enhanced in MM patients with lymph node metastasis and metastatic MM cells. Using loss-of-function assays, we found that LNMAT1 promoted cell migration and invasion and lung metastasis in MM in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, we found that cell adhesion molecule 1 (CADM1), the established tumor suppressor in MM, was the downstream target of LNMAT1. Mechanistically, LNMAT1 epigenetically suppressed CADM1 expression by recruiting EZH2, the key regulator of trimethylation of histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27me3), to the CADM1 promoter, resulting in transcriptional inhibition of CADM1. Lastly, rescue assays demonstrated that LNMAT1 promoted cell migration and invasion of MM by suppressing CADM1 expression. Our findings elucidate a new mechanism for LNMAT1-mediated invasion-metastasis cascade in MM and suggest that LNMAT1 may be a new therapeutic target and prognostic predictor for MM.

Authors: Costa Lais R. R. , Aleman Monica , Davis Eric
Published: July 2019

Comprehensive reports of the caseload of donkeys and mules in veterinary hospitals in the United States are lacking. We compiled the information of the caseload of donkeys and mules at the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital at the University of California, Davis for a ten-year period, from 2008 to 2017. The overall equid caseload was 94,147, of which 996 (1.06%) were donkeys and mules. Most of the neonates seen were mules. Most miniature donkeys were between 2 and 10 years of age, and standard donkeys and mules were 10 to 20 years old. The body condition scores were predominantly high, especially in donkeys. Most miniature and standard donkeys resided in sanctuary and rescue farms and their use was not stated. Most mules were used for riding, packing or driving. Medical complaints represented 62% of the total visits and wellness visits represented 38% of total visits. The donkeys and mules in the case population described here received a good standard of veterinary care with regular vaccinations, deworming, routine dental care, and treatment of ailments. Our study is the first report of the life expectancy, use, body condition, preventative health and veterinary medical care of a population of donkeys and mules in the western United States.
Surrogate Models for Estimating Failure in Brittle and Quasi-Brittle Materials
Authors: Mudunuru Maruti Kumar , Panda Nishant , Karra Satish , Srinivasan Gowri , Chau Viet T. , Rougier Esteban , Hunter Abigail , Viswanathan Hari S.
Published: July 2019

In brittle fracture applications, failure paths, regions where the failure occurs and damage statistics, are some of the key quantities of interest (QoI). High-fidelity models for brittle failure that accurately predict these QoI exist but are highly computationally intensive, making them infeasible to incorporate in upscaling and uncertainty quantification frameworks. The goal of this paper is to provide a fast heuristic to reasonably estimate quantities such as failure path and damage in the process of brittle failure. Towards this goal, we first present a method to predict failure paths under tensile loading conditions and low-strain rates. The method uses a k-nearest neighbors algorithm built on fracture process zone theory, and identifies the set of all possible pre-existing cracks that are likely to join early to form a large crack. The method then identifies zone of failure and failure paths using weighted graphs algorithms. We compare these failure paths to those computed with a high-fidelity fracture mechanics model called the Hybrid Optimization Software Simulation Suite (HOSS). A probabilistic evolution model for average damage in a system is also developed that is trained using 150 HOSS simulations and tested on 40 simulations. A non-parametric approach based on confidence intervals is used to determine the damage evolution over time along the dominant failure path. For upscaling, damage is the key QoI needed as an input by the continuum models. This needs to be informed accurately by the surrogate models for calculating effective moduli at continuum-scale. We show that for the proposed average damage evolution model, the prediction accuracy on the test data is more than 90%. In terms of the computational time, the proposed models are ≈ O ( 10 6 ) times faster compared to high-fidelity fracture simulations by HOSS. These aspects make the proposed surrogate model attractive for upscaling damage from micro-scale models to continuum models. We would like to emphasize that the surrogate models are not a replacement of physical understanding of fracture propagation. The proposed method in this paper is limited to tensile loading conditions at low-strain rates. This loading condition corresponds to a dominant fracture perpendicular to tensile direction. The proposed method is not applicable for in-plane shear, out-of-plane shear, and higher strain rate loading conditions.

Reducing the size of an accelerometer overcomes the tradeoff between its sensitivity and resonant frequency, and the theoretical relationships are analyzed. A fiber Bragg grating (FBG) accelerometer with the shortest vibration arm, 7 mm, among FBG accelerometers using the optical fiber to hold its inertial object is demonstrated here. The inertial object was 4.41 g. The experimental crest-to-trough sensitivity and resonant frequency, 244 pm/g and 90 Hz, disagree with the theoretical values, 633 pm/g and 67 Hz, perhaps due to the friction between the inertial object and shell. In order to find the theoretical values, a method to find the pre-stretch of the FBG is also presented here, based on the stretch of the FBG at equilibrium and the mass of the inertial object. The FFT program, experimental data and theoretical calculations are presented in detail in the Supplementary Material.
Periocular Recognition in the Wild: Implementation of RGB-OCLBCP Dual-Stream CNN
Authors: Tiong Leslie Ching Ow , Lee Yunli , Teoh Andrew Beng Jin
Published: July 2019

Periocular recognition remains challenging for deployments in the unconstrained environments. Therefore, this paper proposes an RGB-OCLBCP dual-stream convolutional neural network, which accepts an RGB ocular image and a colour-based texture descriptor, namely Orthogonal Combination-Local Binary Coded Pattern (OCLBCP) for periocular recognition in the wild. The proposed network aggregates the RGB image and the OCLBCP descriptor by using two distinct late-fusion layers. We demonstrate that the proposed network benefits from the RGB image and thee OCLBCP descriptor can gain better recognition performance. A new database, namely an Ethnic-ocular database of periocular in the wild, is introduced and shared for benchmarking. In addition, three publicly accessible databases, namely AR, CASIA-iris distance and UBIPr, have been used to evaluate the proposed network. When compared against several competing networks on these databases, the proposed network achieved better performances in both recognition and verification tasks.
Reputation, Status Networks, and the Art Market
Authors: Braden L.E.A. , Teekens Thomas
Published: July 2019

The effect of an artist’s prestige on the price of artwork is a well-known, central tenant in art market research. In considering how an artist’s prestige proliferates, much research examines networks, where certain artistic groupings and associations promote individual member’s artistic standing (i.e., “associative status networks”). When considering the role of associative status networks, there are two models by which status may increase. First, the confirmation model suggests that actors of similar status are associated with each other. Second, the increase model suggests that a halo effect occurs, whereby an individual’s status increases by association with higher-status artists. In this research, we examine the association of artists through museum exhibition to test confirmation versus increase models, ascertaining whether prestige acquisition is a selection or influence process. This research capitalizes on the retrospective digitization of exhibition catalogues, allowing for large-scale longitudinal analysis heretofore unviable for researchers. We use the exhibition history of 1148 artists from the digitized archives of three major Dutch museums (Stedelijk, Boijmans-Van Beuningen, Van Abbe) from 1930 to 1989, as well as data on artists’ market performance from artprice.com and bibliographic data from the WorldCat database. We then employ network analysis to examine the 60-year interplay of associative status networks and determine how different networks predict subsequent auction performance. We find that status connections may have a point of diminishing returns by which comparison to high prestige peers increases one’s own prestige to a point, after which a high-status comparison network becomes a liability.
Legacies of Hani Susumu’s Documentary School
Authors: Martín Marcos P. Centeno
Published: July 2019

This article seeks to cast light on some of Hani Susumu’s theoretical and practical contributions to post-war Japanese documentaries. The article will also show how he created a documentary school at Iwanami Eiga based on authors’ closeness to the filmed object. This is crucial in order to understand the tendencies that developed in non-fiction films from the late 1950s. Hani’s influence can be seen in the leaders of militant cinema, Tsuchimoto Noriaki and Ogawa Shinsuke, who were trained at Iwanami Eiga. However, some of his theoretical writings, together with his documentary films Hōryūji (1958) and Gunka Ken 2 (1962), reveal how his singular subjective realism is applied to unusual shooting objects, landscapes. This article assesses this lesser-known aspect of Hani’s work and its links to certain developments in Japanese documentary films led by other filmmakers, such as Teshigahara Hiroshi and Adachi Masao, which have not yet been addressed.
Masks, Mirrors, and Mediated Perception: Reflective Viewing in the House of the Gilded Cupids
Authors: McFerrin Neville
Published: July 2019

Masks, as a locus of mimetic potential, serve both to typify and to disguise, distilling character traits and translating them visually, even as they hide the visage of those who might wear them, suggesting a performative persona through the partial negation of the form of the actor. As a multi-dimensional depiction, they enable the generation of distance between viewer and viewed, translating an animate individual into an inanimate object and thus, through the intervention of a worked surface, inviting interpretation. To explore the ways that these ideas interact within a domestic space, the article focuses on the House of the Gilded Cupids, interrogating the interplay between materiality and depiction by pairing masks with mirrors, considering the ways in which both media use surface to highlight liminality, eliding viewer and viewed in a complex commentary on the mutability of visual perception. Highlighting the juxtaposition of inset obsidian panels with depictions of reflective surfaces in the mythological wall paintings within the domestic space, the article argues that the conflation of mirror, mask, and reflection within the space enables the viewer to utilize depicted conceptual doubles to both reinforce and undermine the boundaries of the viewer’s embodied reality in order to confront the extent to which an individual is predicated on perception, both internal and external.

We analyse Swarm satellite magnetic field and electron density data one month before and one month after 12 strong earthquakes that have occurred in the first 2.5 years of Swarm satellite mission lifetime in the Mediterranean region (magnitude M6.1+) or in the rest of the world (M6.7+). The search for anomalies was limited to the area centred at each earthquake epicentre and bounded by a circle that scales with magnitude according to the Dobrovolsky’s radius. We define the magnetic and electron density anomalies statistically in terms of specific thresholds with respect to the same statistical quantity along the whole residual satellite track (|geomagnetic latitude| ≤ 50°, quiet geomagnetic conditions). Once normalized by the analysed satellite tracks, the anomalies associated to all earthquakes resemble a linear dependence with earthquake magnitude, so supporting the statistical correlation with earthquakes and excluding a relationship by chance.
Seasonal Responses of Precipitation in China to El Niño and Positive Indian Ocean Dipole Modes
Authors: Li Chunxiang , Zhao Tianbao
Published: July 2019

Using composite, regular, and partial regression analyses in the six consecutive seasons from spring of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO)-/Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD)-developing year through summer following the ENSO/IOD mature phase, the individual and combined impacts of El Niño and positive Indian Ocean Dipole (pIOD) on the evolution of precipitation in China are diagnosed for the period 1950–2013. It is shown that the seasonal responses of precipitation in China to El Niño and pIOD events, and their relationship with the large-scale atmospheric circulations, differ from one season to another. For the pure El Niño years, there is a seasonal reversal of precipitation over southeastern and northwestern China, with deficient precipitation occurring in these two regions before the onset of anomalous wet conditions in the developing autumn. Meanwhile, North China tends to be drier than normal in the developing seasons, but wetter than normal in the decaying seasons. For the pure pIOD events, southern China suffers a precipitation deficit (surplus) in the developing spring (summer and autumn). Furthermore, both North China and northwestern China experience excessive precipitation in the developing autumn and decaying summer. In addition, there is reduced precipitation in northeastern China during both the developing and decaying summers, whereas increased precipitation occurs in the developing autumn and decaying winter. For the combined years, southern China experiences enhanced moisture supply and suffers from increased precipitation from the developing summer through the subsequent spring, but reduced precipitation in the developing spring and decaying summer. Similar to the pure El Niño, northwestern (North) China becomes wetter than normal after the developing summer (autumn) in the combined years. In general, the ENSO/IOD-related precipitation variability could be explained by the associated anomaly circulations.
Cooking Is Creating Emotion: A Study on Hinglish Sentiments of Youtube Cookery Channels Using Semi-Supervised Approach
Authors: Kaur Gagandeep , Kaushik Abhishek , Sharma Shubham
Published: July 2019

The success of Youtube has attracted a lot of users, which results in an increase of the number of comments present on Youtube channels. By analyzing those comments we could provide insight to the Youtubers that would help them to deliver better quality. Youtube is very popular in India. A majority of the population in India speak and write a mixture of two languages known as Hinglish for casual communication on social media. Our study focuses on the sentiment analysis of Hinglish comments on cookery channels. The unsupervised learning technique DBSCAN was employed in our work to find the different patterns in the comments data. We have modelled and evaluated both parametric and non-parametric learning algorithms. Logistic regression with the term frequency vectorizer gave 74.01% accuracy in Nisha Madulika’s dataset and 75.37% accuracy in Kabita’s Kitchen dataset. Each classifier is statistically tested in our study.

Ovarian cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths worldwide in women, and the most malignant cancer among the different gynecological cancers. In this study, we explored potentially anticancer compounds from Cornus walteri (Cornaceae), the MeOH extract of which has been reported to show considerable cytotoxicity against several cancer cell lines. Phytochemical investigations of the MeOH extract of the stem and stem bark of C. walteri by extensive application of chromatographic techniques resulted in the isolation of 14 compounds (1–14). The isolated compounds were evaluated for inhibitory effects on the viability of A2780 human ovarian carcinoma cells and the underlying molecular mechanisms were investigated. An 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay was employed to assess the anticancer effects of compounds 1–14 on A2780 cells, which showed that compound 11 (betulinic acid) reduced the viability of these cells in a concentration-dependent manner and had an half maximal (50%) inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 44.47 μM at 24 h. Nuclear staining and image-based cytometric assay were carried out to detect the induction of apoptosis by betulinic acid. Betulinic acid significantly increased the condensation of nuclei and the percentage of apoptotic cells in a concentration-dependent manner in A2780 cells. Western blot analysis was performed to investigate the underlying mechanism of apoptosis. The results indicated that the expression levels of cleaved caspase-8, -3, -9, and Bax were increased in A2780 cells treated with betulinic acid, whereas those of Bcl-2 were decreased. Thus, we provide the experimental evidence that betulinic acid can induce apoptosis in A2780 cells through both mitochondria-dependent and -independent pathways and suggest the potential use of betulinic acid in the development of novel chemotherapeutics for ovarian cancer therapy.
