Remotely Close Associations: Openness to Experience and Semantic Memory Structure
Authors: Christensen Alexander P.
Published: September 2020

Openness to experience—the enjoyment of novel experiences, ideas, and unconventional perspectives—has shown several connections to cognition that suggest open people might have different cognitive processes than those low in openness. People high in openness are more creative, have broader general knowledge, and show greater cognitive flexibility. The associative structure of semantic memory might be one such cognitive process that people in openness differ in. In this study, 497 people completed a measure of openness to experience and verbal fluency. Three groups of high (n = 115), moderate (n = 121), and low (n = 118) openness were created to construct semantic networks—graphical models of semantic associations that provide quantifiable representations of how these associations are organized—from their verbal fluency responses. The groups were compared on graph theory measures of their respective semantic networks. The semantic network analysis revealed that as openness increased, the rigidity of the semantic structure decreased and the interconnectivity increased, suggesting greater flexibility of associations. Semantic structure also became more condensed and had better integration, which facilitates open people’s ability to reach more unique associations. These results were supported by open people coming up with more individual and unique responses, starting with less conventional responses, and having a flatter frequency proportion slope than less open people. In summary, the semantic network structure of people high in openness to experience supports the retrieval of remote concepts via short associative pathways, which promotes unique combinations of disparate concepts that are key for creative cognition.

OBJECTIVE

The immediate and long-term risk of anesthesia in the pediatric population is controversial. Traditional spine MRI protocols require the patient to remain still during the examination, and in young children this frequently results in the need for sedation administration. The authors’ goal was to develop an abbreviated spine MRI protocol to reduce sedation administration in young patients undergoing spine MRI.

METHODS

After IRB approval, the medical records of all pediatric patients who underwent a fast spine MRI protocol between 2017 and 2019 were reviewed. The protocol consisted of T2-weighted half-Fourier acquisition single-shot turbo spin echo, T1-weighted turbo spin echo, and T2-weighted STIR sequences acquired in the sagittal plane. The total acquisition time was 2 minutes with no single sequence acquisition longer than 60 seconds. Interpretability of the scans was assessed in accordance with the radiology report in conjunction with the neurosurgeon’s clinical notes.

RESULTS

A total of 47 fast spine MRI sessions were performed in 45 patients. The median age at the time of the MRI was 2.4 years (25th–75th quartile, 1.1–4.3 years; range 0.16–18.58 years). The most common indication for imaging was to rule out or follow a known syrinx (n = 30), followed by the need to rule out or follow known spinal dysraphism (n = 22). There were no uninterpretable or unusable scans. Eight of 47 scans were noted to have moderate motion artifact limitations with respect to the quality of the scan. Seven patients underwent a subsequent MRI with a sedated standard spine protocol within 1 year from the fast scan, which confirmed the findings on the fast MRI protocol with no new findings identified.

CONCLUSIONS

The authors report the first pediatric series of a fast spine MRI protocol for use in young patients. The protocol does not require sedation and is able to identify and monitor syrinx, spinal dysraphism, and potentially other intraspinal anomalies.
Use of endoscopic transorbital and endonasal approaches for 360° circumferential access to orbital tumors
Authors: Jeon Chiman , Hong Sang Duk , Woo Kyung In , Seol Ho Jun , Nam Do-Hyun , Lee Jung-Il , Kong Doo-Sik
Published: September 2020

OBJECTIVE

Orbital tumors are often surgically challenging because they require an extensive fronto-temporo-orbital zygomatic approach (FTOZ) and a multidisciplinary team approach to provide the best outcomes. Recently, minimally invasive endoscopic techniques via a transorbital superior eyelid approach (ETOA) or endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) have been proposed as viable alternatives to transcranial approaches for orbital tumors. In this study, the authors investigated the feasibility of 360° circumferential access to orbital tumors via both ETOA and EEA.

METHODS

Between April 2014 and June 2019, 16 patients with orbital tumors underwent either ETOA or EEA at the authors’ institution. Based on the neuro-topographic “four-zone model” of the orbit with its tumor epicenter around the optic nerve in the coronal plane, ETOA (n = 10, 62.5%) was performed for tumors located predominantly superolateral to the nerve and EEA (n = 6, 37.5%) for those located predominantly inferomedial to the nerve. Eight patients (50%) presented with intraconal tumors and 8 (50%) with extraconal ones. The orbital tumors included orbital schwannoma (n = 6), cavernous hemangioma (n = 2), olfactory groove meningioma (n = 1), sphenoorbital meningioma (n = 1), chondrosarcoma (n = 1), trigeminal schwannoma (n = 1), metastatic osteosarcoma (n = 1), mature cystic teratoma (n = 1), sebaceous carcinoma (n = 1), and ethmoid sinus osteoma (n = 1). The clinical outcomes and details of surgical techniques were reviewed.

RESULTS

Gross-total resection was achieved in 12 patients (75%), near-total resection in 3 (18.8%), and subtotal resection in 1 (6.2%). Eight (88.9%) of the 9 patients with preoperative proptosis showed improvement after surgery, and 4 (66.7%) of the 6 patients with visual symptoms demonstrated improvement. Four (40%) of the 10 patients treated with ETOA experienced partial third nerve palsy immediately after surgery (3 transient and 1 persistent). There have been no postoperative CSF leaks or infections in this series.

CONCLUSIONS

Without transcranial approaches requiring temporalis muscle dissection and orbitozygomatic osteotomy, the selection of ETOA or EEA based on a concept of a four-zone model with its epicenter around the optic nerve successfully provides a minimally invasive 360° circumferential access to the entire orbit with acceptable morbidity.

Published: September 2020

OBJECTIVE

Early surgical intervention for pediatric refractory epilepsy is increasingly advocated as surgery has become safer and data have demonstrated improved outcomes with early seizure control. There is concern that the risks associated with staged invasive electroencephalography (EEG) in very young children outweigh the potential benefits. Here, the authors present a cohort of children with refractory epilepsy who were referred for invasive monitoring, and they evaluate the role and safety of staged invasive EEG in those 3 years old and younger.

METHODS

The authors conducted a retrospective review of children 3 years and younger with epilepsy, who had been managed surgically at two institutions between 2001 and 2015. A cohort of pediatric patients older than 3 years of age was used for comparison. Demographics, seizure etiology, surgical management, surgical complications, and adverse events were recorded. Statistical analysis was completed using Stata version 13. A p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Fisher’s exact test was used to compare proportions.

RESULTS

Ninety-four patients (45 patients aged ≤ 3 [47.9%]) and 208 procedures were included for analysis. Eighty-six procedures (41.3%) were performed in children younger than 3 years versus 122 in the older cohort (58.7%). Forty-two patients underwent grid placement (14 patients aged ≤ 3 [33.3%]); 3 of them developed complications associated with the implant (3/42 [7.14%]), none of whom were among the younger cohort. Across all procedures, 11 complications occurred in the younger cohort versus 5 in the older patients (11/86 [12.8%] vs 5/122 [4.1%], p = 0.032). Two adverse events occurred in the younger group versus 1 in the older group (2/86 [2.32%] vs 1/122 [0.82%], p = 0.571). Following grid placement, 13/14 younger patients underwent guided resections compared to 20/28 older patients (92.9% vs 71.4%, p = 0.23).

CONCLUSIONS

While overall complication rates were higher in the younger cohort, subdural grid placement was not associated with an increased risk of surgical complications in that population. Invasive electrocorticography informs management in very young children with refractory, localization-related epilepsy and should therefore be used when clinically indicated.
Reference accuracy in spine surgery
Authors: Montenegro Thiago S. , Hines Kevin , Partyka Paul P. , Harrop James
Published: September 2020

OBJECTIVE

The references list is an important part of a scientific article that serves to confirm the accuracy of the authors’ statements. The goal of this study was to evaluate the reference accuracy in the field of spine surgery.

METHODS

Four major peer-reviewed spine surgery journals were chosen for this study based on their subspecialty clinical impact factors. Sixty articles per journal were selected from 12 issues each of The Spine Journal, Spine, and Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine, and 40 articles were selected from 8 issues of Global Spine Journal, for a total of 220 articles. All the articles were published in 2019 and were selected using computer-generated numbers. From the references list of each article, one reference was again selected by using a computer-generated number and then checked for citation or quotation errors.

RESULTS

The results indicate that 84.1% of articles have a minor citation error, 4.5% of articles have a major citation error, 9.5% of articles have a minor quotation error, and 9.1% of articles have a major quotation error. Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine had the fewest citation errors compared with the other journals evaluated in this study. Using chi-square analysis, no association was determined between the occurrence of errors and potential markers of reference mistakes. Still, statistical significance was found between the occurrence of citation errors and the spine journals tested.

CONCLUSIONS

In order to advance medical treatment and patient care in spine surgery, detailed documentation and attention to detail are necessary. The results from this study illustrate that improved reference accuracy is required.

Published: September 2020

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has brought great disruption to health systems worldwide. This affected ongoing clinical research, particularly among those most vulnerable to the pandemic, like dementia patients. Fundació ACE is a research center and memory clinic based in Barcelona, Spain, one of the hardest-hit countries. Objective: To describe the ad-hoc strategic plan developed to cope with this crisis and to share its outcomes. Methods: We describe participants’ clinical and demographic features. Additionally, we explain our strategic plan aimed at minimizing the impact on clinical trial research activities, which included SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR and IgG serological tests to all participants and personnel. The outcomes of the plan are described in terms of observed safety events and drop-outs during the study period. Results: A total of 130 patients were participating in 16 active clinical trials in Fundació ACE when the lockdown was established. During the confinement, we performed 1018 calls to the participants, which led to identify adverse events in 26 and COVID-19 symptoms in 6. A total of 83 patients (64%) could restart on-site visits as early as May 11, 2020. All SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR diagnostic tests performed before on-site visits were negative and only three IgG serological tests were positive. Throughout the study period, we only observed one drop-out, due to an adverse event unrelated to COVID-19. Discussion: The plan implemented by Fundació ACE was able to preserve safety and integrity of ongoing clinical trials. We must use the lessons learned from the pandemic and design crisis-proof protocols for clinical trials.
Evidence for the Utility of Actuarial Neuropsychological Criteria Across the Continuum of Normal Aging, Mild Cognitive Impairment, and Dementia
Authors: Graves Lisa V. , Edmonds Emily C. , Thomas Kelsey R. , Weigand Alexandra J. , Cooper Shanna , Bondi Mark W.
Published: September 2020

Background: Research suggests that actuarial neuropsychological criteria improve the accuracy of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) diagnoses relative to conventional diagnostic methods. Objective: We sought to examine the utility of actuarial criteria relative to consensus diagnostic methods used in the National Alzheimer’s Coordinating Center (NACC) Uniform Data Set (UDS), and more broadly across the continuum of normal aging, MCI, and dementia. Methods: We compared rates of cognitively normal (CN), MCI, and dementia diagnoses at baseline using actuarial versus consensus diagnostic methods in 1524 individuals from the NACC UDS. Results: Approximately one-third (33.59%) of individuals diagnosed as CN and more than one-fifth (22.03%) diagnosed with dementia based on consensus methods, met actuarial criteria for MCI. Many participants diagnosed with MCI via consensus methods also appeared to represent possible diagnostic errors. Notably, the CNa/CNc group (i.e., participants diagnosed as CN based on both actuarial [a] and consensus [c] criteria) had a lower proportion of apolipoprotein E ɛ4 carriers than the MCIa/MCIc group, which in turn had a lower proportion of ɛ4 carriers than the dementia (Dem)a/Demc group. Proportions of ɛ4 carriers were comparable between the CNa/CNc and CNa/MCIc, MCIa/MCIc and MCIa/CNc, MCIa/MCIc and MCIa/Demc, and Dema/Demc and Dema/MCIc groups. These results were largely consistent with diagnostic agreement/discrepancy group comparisons on neuropsychological performance. Conclusion: The present results extend previous findings and suggest that actuarial neuropsychological criteria may enhance diagnostic accuracy relative to consensus methods, and across the wider continuum of normal aging, MCI, and dementia. Findings have implications for both clinical practice and research.

Authors: Asghari Mohammadreza , Ahmadi Feridoun , Hajitagilou Ramin
Published: September 2020

BACKGROUND: For global water shortage concerns and high cost of mineral nutrients it is necessary to decrease the amount of nutrient solutions in greenhouse production systems. Deficit fertigation may negatively affect the crop productivity and phytohormones can mitigate the adverse effects of stresses. OBJECTIVE: We studied the effects of deficit fertigation in combination with salicylic acid (SA) and putrescine (PUT) on strawberry fruit yield and quality. METHODS: Strawberry plants were fertilized with a complete nutrient solution of 220 (control), 180 (mild deficit fertigation) and/or 140 mL/D (severe deficit fertigation), and treated with PUT (at 0 and 2 mM) and/or SA (at 0 and 2 mM) and the combinations of these treatments during growth stages. Fruit growth, quality parameters, yield and phytochemical compounds were evaluated at harvest. RESULTS: Mild deficit fertigation (MDF) (140 mL/D) significantly enhanced the yield and quality of the fruit, and both PUT and SA, enhanced the positive effects of MDF on crop productivity. SA and PUT decreased the negative effects of DF on crop yield and fruit growth. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study indicate that it is possible to substantially enhance the quality and productivity of strawberries with a MDF regime, PUT and SA treatments.

Authors: Zhu Wenqiang
Published: September 2020

First, the recommendation system and its advantages are introduced in detail, and based on the characteristics of the intelligent topic logical interest set resource and user behavior in the existing intelligent topic logical interest set resource platform, a personalized fuzzy logic model of the intelligent topic logical interest set resource is established and adapted to it. The personalized fuzzy logic user personalized fuzzy logic interest model of personalized fuzzy logic is designed, and the user personalized fuzzy logic interest transfer method is designed to simulate the user learning process. Secondly, on the basis of the established model, according to the idea of collaborative filtering, the personalized fuzzy logic user’s personalized fuzzy logic interest value and the user’s rating of resources are respectively predicted, and the two prediction results are combined to recommend resources to the user. Finally, the ontology is applied to user interest description, and a method based on personalized fuzzy logic user rough interest vector and nearest neighbor concept aggregation is proposed to find fine-grained user interest and recommend interest resources. Experimental tests show that this method can better describe the composition and development of user interests, making the recommendation effect of interest resources for specific users more accurate and reliable. The problem of collaborative recommendation in personalized fuzzy logic systems is further studied, the basic principles and typical technologies of collaborative recommendation are analyzed, and the collaborative recommendation method based on users with similar interests and the collaborative recommendation method based on weighted association rules are proposed.

Summary. The aim of the study was to compare the efficacy of definitive chemoradiation therapy (CRT) and primary surgery followed by adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) or CRT in the management of patients with stage III–IVA–B resectable oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC). Materials and Methods: It is a retrospective analysis of the treatment outcomes of 211 patients with stage III–IVA–B resectable OTSCC. The patients were divided into two groups depending on the treatment modality: 114 patients received surgery followed by adjuvant RT or CRT (S-RT/CRT) group; the definitive CRT group consisted of 97 patients. Results: The five-year overall survival (OS) was 57.0% in S-RT/CRT group vs 20.4% in CRT group; the five-year disease-free survival (DFS) in S-RT/CRT group was 56.5% vs 15.5%, in the CRT group. Comparison of survival curves revealed statistically significant higher OS and DFS rates in patients of S-RT/CRT group as compared with those in CRT patients (hazard ratio = 0.33 (95% confidence interval 0.23–0.47), p < 0.001 vs hazard ratio = 0.25 (95% confidence interval 0.17–0.37), p < 0.001). A multivariate analysis showed a statistically significant prognostic effect of the primary tumor extension cT4 (p = 0.004), cervical lymph node involvement cN2 (p < 0.001), cN3 (p = 0.04) and treatment modality (p < 0.001) on OS. There was also found a statistically significant prognostic effect of the primary tumor extension cT4 (p = 0.02), cervical lymph node involvement cN2 (p < 0.001) and treatment modality (p < 0.001) on DFS. 18 (15.8%) patients of S-RT/CRT group and 13 (13.4%) patients (p = 0.77) of CRT group developed mandibular osteoradionecrosis. Conclusion: Primary surgery with adjuvant RT or CRT in advanced-stage resectable OTSCC significantly increases five-year OS and DFS rates as compared to those after definitive CRT.
The calling card of Russian digital antitrust
Authors: Pavlova Natalia S. , Shastitko Andrey E. , Kurdin Alexander A.
Published: September 2020

Digital antitrust is at the forefront of all expert discussions and is far from becoming an area of consensus among researchers. Moreover, the prescriptions for developed countries do not fit well the situation in developing countries, and namely in BRICS: where the violator of antitrust laws is based compared to national firms becomes an important factor that links competition and industrial policy. The article uses three recent cases from Russian antitrust policy in the digital sphere to illustrate typical patterns of platform conduct that lead not just to a restriction of competition that needs to be remedied by antitrust measures, but also to noteworthy distribution effects. The cases also illustrate the approach taken by the Russian competition authority to some typical problems that arise in digital markets, e.g. market definition, conduct interpretation, behavioral effects, and remedies. The analysis sheds light on the specifics of Russian antitrust policy in digital markets, as well as their interpretation in the context of competition policy in developing countries and the link between competition and industrial policies.

A Novel Spectrum Sensing Without Channel State Information Using Estimated Parameters
Authors: Phong Pham Duy , Chinh Dang Trung , Yem Vu Van
Published: September 2020

this  paper  develops  a  spectrum  sensing technique using multiple antenna and energy detector in cognitive  radio.  The  conventional  spectrum  sensing techniques  using  multiple  antennas  such  as  maximum ratio  processing  (MRP),  Equal  Gain  Combining (EGC)…  require  channel  state  information  (CSI)  to combine  received signal at each antenna. In practice, it is complicate and requires time to obtain CSI. Recently, some  methods  performing  spectrum  sensing  without CSI  have  been  proposed.  However,  these  methods  do not  bring  desired  results  compared  with  the conventional techniques using CSI. In our research, we propose  a  new  technique  without  requiring  CSI  to combine  signals from  multiple  antennas.  The  proposed technique  brings  good  results  compared  to  the  other conventional  techniques  requiring  CSI  like  EGC.  In addition,  we  do  not  assume  exact  parameters  of  signal and noise in our simulation. The samples at the receiver are used for two purposes: estimating these parameters of noise and signal and performing spectrum sensing

Published: September 2020

We are facing unprecedented social, economic, and environmental challenges due to accelerating globalization and the rapid pace of technological development. Nonetheless, these forces offer us countless new opportunities for human progress. The future is uncertain, and we cannot predict it, but we must be open and ready for it. After Covid-19, the “new normal” will be characterized by change, reorientation, and sustainability. Both studying and working have quickly changed in form, requiring digitalization and digital competence in both individuals and organizations. It has become evident that the digital revolution concerns people and their habits, behaviors, and attitudes in using the new technology. Moreover, there is a need for innovative pedagogy, and a move to curricula 4.0, which are aligned with the 4th Industrial revolution, which change the way we live, work, communicate, perform, relate, and also the way we learn, and new perspectives on quality and its effects. Online innovative education will be a strategic priority at every institution. This conceptual article is based on the current discourse on the reflection and rethinking of 21st century competences, smart learning environments, and digitalization in education. The author has provided examples of the ongoing debate. The article’s focus on the future of education is based on her own research and perspectives. The discussion is centered on the OECD report on the future of education and skills, Education 2030, and the UNESCO initiatives in the OER Recommendation and the Futures of Education - Learning to Become.

W podsumowaniu Autor stwierdza, że na badanym terenie znajdowały się spore – jak na warunki polskie – biblioteki magnatów i bogatej szlachty, liczące od kilkuset do w XVIII w. kilku tysięcy książek. Tak zwana szlachta średnia posiadała od kilkunastu do kilkudziesięciu woluminów. Przedstawiciele szlachty ubogiej nie mieli w ogóle książek, albo pojedyncze egzemplarze modlitewników i żywotów świętych.

Salah satu kepentingan asasi setiap tenaga kerja adalahhak atas keselamatan. Sayangnya, keselamatan tenaga kerja Indonesia masih menjadi hak yang maksimal untuk dilindungi. Dalam kenyataan, tidak sulit ditemukan sejumlah peristiwa atau kasus tentang kecelakaan tenaga kerja. Pekerja menjalankan pekerjaan dengan resiko yang tinggi, yang tidak sedikit mengakibatkan hak keselamatannya terancam atau hilang. Banyak ditemukan bukti tentang sejumlah perusahaan atau korporasi yang mempekerjakan karyawan atau pekerjanya tanpa memperhatikan aspek keselamatannya. Disinilah pelanggaran terhadap hak asasi tenaga kerja terjadi yang dilakukan oleh korporasi. Dalam Islam maupun aspek hak asasi manusia,  pelanggaran ini sebagai perbuatan yang tidak manusiawi.Kata kunci: tenaga kerja,  keselamatan, korporasi, negara, Islam, hak asasi manusia            One of the fundamental interests of every workforce is the right to safety. Unfortunately, the safety of Indonesian workers is still the maximum right to be protected. In reality, it is not difficult to find a number of events or cases concerning labor accidents. Workers carry out work with high risk, which does not in the least cause their safety rights to be threatened or lost. Much evidence is found about a number of companies or corporations that employ their employees or workers without regard to safety aspects. This is where violations of labor rights occur committed by corporations. In both Islam and human rights aspects, this violation is an inhumane deed.
