Introduction: In this study, the efficacy, advantages, and disadvantages of transurethral cystoscopic silver
nitrate renal pelvic instillation and retroperitoneoscopic renal pedicle lymphatic disconnection for chyluria
were compared to provide a clinical reference.
Methods: Forty patients with chyluria who were admitted to our hospital between June 2007 and June 2017
were selected as the research subjects and divided into two groups. The patients in group A (n=25) were
treated with transurethral cystoscopic silver nitrate renal pelvic instillation regimen, while those in group B
(n=15) were treated by retroperitoneoscopic renal pedicle lymphatic disconnection. Operative time,
intraoperative blood loss volume, length of postoperative hospital stay, cure rate, complication rate and
recurrence rate were compared between the two groups.
Results: All the 40 patients were successfully treated. Group B had a higher cure rate, lower complication
rate and lower recurrence rate than in group A, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). But
group A had a shorter length of hospital stay and less surgical trauma, the differences were statistically
significant (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: Retroperitoneoscopic renal pedicle lymphatic disconnection for chyluria can be used as one of
the first choices of treatment for chyluria. Although the recurrence rate with transurethral cystoscopic silver
nitrate renal pelvic instillation is high, the treatment can be administered again when the disease recurs. At
the same time, it is less invasive to the patients and they are more receptive.

Authors: Ro Jae Y , Kim Moon Joo , Eng Renee K , Shehabeldin Ahmed N , Ge Yimin , Schwartz Mary R , Wu Yun , Ro Jae Y
Published: August 2020

Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is a rare, aggressive sarcoma usually arising in the abdomen
or pelvis of young males under 30 years of age. We present a case of a 32-year-old male with a palpable
axillary mass and multiple bilateral lung nodules. Excisional biopsy of the axillary mass showed sheets and
nests of small round cells with numerous mitoses, areas of necrosis, and desmoplastic stroma. Initial
immunohistochemical stains performed at an outside institution demonstrated immunoreactivity for
epithelial markers and focal reactivity for breast markers. The tumor was initially diagnosed as poorly
differentiated carcinoma, with consideration of a possible primary breast cancer. Additional workup
demonstrated strong, diffuse positivity for desmin in tumor cells, leading to the final diagnosis of DSRCT.
Subsequent molecular testing confirmed DSRCT with EWSR1 gene rearrangement. This case illustrates the
importance of recognizing the morphologic features of DSRCT in the setting of uncommon location or
patient age.

Rushdie Rewriting History Through Midnight's Children
Authors: Seyidova Leila
Published: August 2020

In Salman Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children, the novel’s protagonist, Saleem Sinai, born at the hour of India’s independence in August of 1947, represents India. Saleem uses major historical events such as Partition, the violent division of the Indian state into Pakistan and India, to move the plot along. Saleem’s telepathic powers allow him to enter other people’s minds just as the novel demonstrates the state penetrating the citizen’s minds to create a nation. Furthermore, Saleem’s construction of history through the pickle jars representing each chapter in his life parallels Rushdie’s construction of history through the novel. In Midnight’s Children, Rushdie explores the problems of heterogeneity in relation to the hegemonic ideology of nationalism. In this essay, I argue that in Midnight’s Children, Rushdie rewrites history. By transgressing the boundaries between history and fiction, Rushdie reveals the ways in which nationalism relies on the discursive construction of history.

Sexism in Elementary EFL Textbooks: Spotted in Uzbekistan
Authors: Norova Nasiba
Published: August 2020

The current study examines the representation of gender in four English as a Foreign Language (EFL) textbooks, Kid’s English, for elementary students produced in Uzbekistan. The study implements Fairclough's (2013) three-dimensional discourse approach: description, interpretation, and explanation for textbook analysis. The quantitative analysis of EFL textbooks unveiled an imbalance in gender representation depicting males more than females. Underrepresentation of females in the textbooks demonstrates that Kids' English EFL textbooks have a sexist ideology and stereotypical agenda. The study suggests that the sexist ideology of the textbooks perpetuates patriarchy and unfair gender societal values hindering the development of gender equality efforts in the EFL context of Uzbekistan.

Authors: Yu Mingjie , Zhao Wenliang , Liu Cong , Wang Xiuhe , Kwon Byung-il
Published: August 2020

This paper deals with the design and analysis of a novel variable flux spoke-type motor (VFSM) for washing machines by focally considering the performance at the laundry and spin-drying operating modes. The key design goal is to obtain the high efficiency for the two operating modes. At the laundry mode, the ferrite and AlNiCo magnets are utilized together as the excitations to obtain a high magnetic loading, thus to obtain high torque and efficiency. At the spin-drying mode, the AlNiCo magnets are demagnetized by a pulse negative d-axis current to reduce magnetic flux density, thus to obtain low iron loss and high efficiency. The outer rotor structure with the spoke-type magnet configuration is utilized to enhance the high output performances. The D2L method is utilized to design the key parameters of the VFSM. To demonstrate the superiority of the designed VFSM, the electromagnetic characteristics are predicted by the finite element method (FEM). As a result, the volume size of the proposed VFSM is decreased by 19.4%, and the efficiency at the low-speed laundry mode is increased by 25.4%, when compared to the referenced commercial washing machine motor.

Published: August 2020

Harvesting energy from wind to supply low-power consumption devices has attracted numerous research interests in recent years. However, a traditional vortex-induced vibration energy harvester can only operate within a limited range of wind speed. Thus, how to broaden the effective wind speed range for energy harvesting is a challenging issue. In this paper, a slotted cylinder bluff body is proposed for being used in the design of a wind energy harvester. The physical prototype is manufactured and the wind tunnel test is performed for evaluating the actual performance of the prototyped energy harvester. The effect of the orientation of the slot on the performance of the proposed energy harvester is experimentally investigated. As compared to the traditional counterpart without the slot at the lateral side of the bluff body, the proposed energy harvester demonstrates the superiority for realizing broadband energy harvesting. Due to the introduction of the slot, and by carefully tuning the orientation of the slot, both the vortex-induced vibration and the galloping phenomena can be stimulated within two neighboring wind speed ranges, leading to the formation of an extremely broad bandwidth for energy harvesting.

Authors: Xia Yubin , Liang Dakai , Zheng Guo , Wang Jingling , Zeng Jie
Published: August 2020

Aiming at the irregularity of the fault characteristics of the helicopter main reducer planetary gear, a fault diagnosis method based on support vector data description (SVDD) is proposed. The working condition of the helicopter is complex and changeable, and the fault characteristics of the planetary gear also show irregularity with the change of working conditions. It is impossible to diagnose the fault by the regularity of a single fault feature; so a method of SVDD based on Gaussian kernel function is used. By connecting the energy characteristics and fault characteristics of the helicopter main reducer running state signal and performing vector quantization, the planetary gear of the helicopter main reducer is characterized, and simultaneously couple the multi-channel information, which can accurately characterize the operational state of the planetary gear’s state.
Verification of pull-up force and electromagnetic spring to an aluminum ring using ac electromagnets

Published: August 2020

Magnetic levitation (maglev) systems for nonmagnetic conductive metals generally generate only repulsive force between the stator and the levitated body. To overturn the conventional common sense, we have fabricated a new maglev device that can generate “attractive force” between the stator consisting of plural ac electromagnets and a nonmagnetic conductive metal ring. In this paper, we elucidate the electromagnetic phenomenon that appropriately arranged seven ac electromagnets continuously pulls up an aluminum (Al) ring, which has 120 mm outer diameter and 5 mm square cross-section, by using finite element analysis. The analysis results reveal the existence of an equilibrium gap where the electromagnetic pulling force balances with the weight of the Al ring without active control. Besides, the equilibrium gap was measured when different weights were added to Al ring to verify the validity of analysis results. The measured results show that the maglev device has a positive stiffness (i.e., electromagnetic spring) of 50 N/m.
A nonlinear disturbance rejection vibration control for an all-clamped piezoelectric panel
Authors: Li Shengquan , Zhu Chaowei , Li Juan , Mao Qibo
Published: August 2020

Considering the internal and external disturbances in actual engineering structure, a composite active vibration control method is proposed for an all-clamped piezoelectric panel. First, the theoretical modal analysis and laser vibrometer are employed to obtain the natural frequency and mode shape of the panel, for reasonable arrangement of actuator and accelerometer. Second, a nonlinear extended state observer is introduced to estimate the total disturbances, i.e., modeling uncertainties, high-order harmonics, coupling and external excitations. Third, the estimated value is used to compensate and attenuate the influence of the total disturbances in real time. In addition, the feedback controller based on the proportional differential and acceleration feedback method is designed to enhance the vibration suppression performance of the whole system. Finally, a semi-physical platform is built in MATLAB/Simulink real-time environment with the NI-PCIe6343 acquisition card to verify the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.

Published: August 2020

The temperature field within a layered arch subjected to Dirichlet Boundary Conditions is investigated based on the exact heat conduction theory. An analytical method is shown to obtain the temperature field in the arch. Because of the complex of the temperature boundary conditions, the temperature field is divided into two parts with the linear superposition principle. The first part is a temperature filed from the temperature boundary conditions on the lateral surfaces. The second part is from the temperature conditions on the outside surfaces expect the influence from the two edges. The temperature solution of the first part is constructed directly according to the temperature boundary conditions on the lateral surfaces. The temperature solution of the second part is studied with transfer matrix method. The convergence of the solutions is checked with respect to the number of the terms of series. Comparing the results with those obtained from the finite element method, the correctness of the present method is verified. Finally, the influences of surface temperature and the thickness-radius ratio h∕r0 on the distribution of temperature in the arch are discussed in detail.

Authors: Yamaguchi Toshihiko , Mihalache Ovidiu
Published: August 2020

The paper focus on a new combined experimental methodology and signal processing for an EMAT based on a Halbach magnet system in order to increase smaller defect detection in thick metallic plates. The visualization of the EMAT signal using a novel dynamic C-scan procedure is based on a continuous movement of the transducer above plate and an off-line signal processing that is enhanced and optimized for detection of small defects (5%) located on the opposite side of metallic plates (50 mm). The feasibility and performance of the acquisition signal method, and several signal processing algorithms are validated using experimental measurements. The results present an optimized two-dimensional visualization technique for EMAT signal, which can be used for continuous surface scans of plates for detection of smaller defects that self-calibrate as the scan is conducted.
Feedback Modelling of Natural Stand and Plantation Biomass to Changes in Climatic Factors (Temperatures and Precipitation): A Special Case for Two-needles Pines in Eurasia
Authors: Usoltsev Vladimir Andreevich , Shobairi Seyed Omid Reza , Tsepordey Ivan Stepanovich
Published: August 2020

A comparative discussion on advantages and disadvantages of natural stands and plantations, including their productivity and resistance, began from the moment of first forest plantings and continues to this day. In the context, progressive replacement of natural forests by plantations, the question of how that will change the carbon storage capacity of forest cover when replacing natural forests with planted ones in a changing climate becomes extremely relevant. This article presents the first attempt to answer this question at the transcontinental level on a special case for two-needles pine trees (subgenus Pinus L.). The research was carried out using the database compiled by the authors on the tree biomass allocation structure for major tree species of Eurasia, in particular, the 1880 and 1967 data of naturally regenerated and planted sample pine trees, respectively. Multi-factor regression models were calculated after combining the matrix of initial data on the structure of tree biomass with the mean temperature of January and mean annual precipitation; their adequacy indices allow us to consider them reproducible. It is found that the aboveground biomass of equal-sized and equal-aged natural and planted trees increases with the rise in the temperature in the month of January and annual precipitation. This pattern is only partially valid for the branches’ biomass. Iit has a specific character for the foliage one. The biomass of all components of planted trees is higher than that of natural trees, but the percentage excess varies among different components and depends on the level of January’s temperature, but does not depend at all on the level of annual precipitation. The uncertainties of estimations, as well as the nature of the obtained regularities, are discussed in the text.
Geochemical, Topographical, and Meteorological Controls on Groundwater Arsenic Contamination in Sharda River Basin of Uttar Pradesh, India

Published: August 2020

Groundwater arsenic (As) contamination is a health threat for millions of people in the Gangetic plains of India. It is, therefore, critical to understand the mechanism of As enrichment to reduce the As exposure. Geochemical analysis of 30 groundwater samples collected across the banks of River Sharda was performed for the identification of major geochemical processes controlling groundwater geochemistry. Shallow wells (3-10 m) are found to be contaminated with As and is confined to newer alluvium of Holocene age. The average temporal decline of the groundwater level was observed across 10 monitoring stations is 0.067 m/yr. Decreasing rainfall, lesser recharge and huge groundwater extraction for irrigation might have impacted the groundwater to flow faster, while the increase in temperature and weathering regime favoured arsenic mobilisation. The long-term trends of rainfall show a decline of 1.97 mm/yr and the temperature increase is observed to be 0.0049°C/yr. These changes in rainfall and temperature also might have impacted the As mobilisation in groundwater. NO3- was found to be low in samples with low As concentrations, indicating the prevalence of reducing conditions. Whereas high concentrations of Fe were observed for high As samples, indicating their common source of origin. Also, the alkaline nature of aquifer and high concentrations of HCO3- might have contributed to As enrichment. Results from scatter plots and correlation matrix also support this sequential reduction leading to the reductive dissolution of iron oxyhydroxides and thus enriching the concentration of As in the groundwater.

Pada jenazah yang tidak utuh, perkiraan panjang jenazah dapat dilakukan dengan mengukur bagian tertentu tubuh jenazah untuk memperkirakan tinggi badan pada saat masih hidup. Formula persamaan regresi menggunakan panjang jari telunjuk tangan, usia dan jenis kelamin valid untuk memprediksi tinggi badan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan panjang jari telunjuk tangan (Digiti II manus) terhadap tinggi badan pada suku Batak di Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Muhammadiyah Sumatera Utara (UMSU). Rancangan penelitian ini adalah analitik korelatif dengan pendekatan cross-sectional. Subjek penelitian sebanyak 63 orang suku Batak di Fakultas Kedokteran UMSU yang terdiri dari laki-laki dan perempuan yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi. Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan metode total sampling.  Panjang jari telunjuk tangan memiliki korelasi yang positif dan signifikan terhadap tinggi badan dengan koefisien korelasi yang berkisar antara 0,611 hingga 0,861 (p<0,001). Persamaan regresi linear yang didapatkan menunjukkan Standard Error of the Estimate (SEE) 2.883 hingga 3,839 (p<0,001). Terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara panjang jari telunjuk tangan terhadap tinggi badan dengan korelasi yang kuat dan sangat kuat, sehingga tinggi badan dapat diperkirakan menggunakan ukuran panjang jari telunjuk tangan melalui persamaan regresi linear.

Pada penderita penyakit ginjal kronis (PGK), fungsi ginjal dalam mempertahankan homeostasis berbagai sistem metabolisme tubuh terganggu, salah satunya adalah memproduksi hormon eritropoietin. Anemia merupakan komplikasi yang sering terjadi pada PGK dan turut berperan dalam meningkatkan morbiditas dan mortalitas penderita. Diagnosis maupun tatalaksana anemia pada PGK masih merupakan tantangan karena multifaktorial. Hepcidin, suatu peptida yang telah dikenal sebagai protein fase akut yang berperan pada regulasi metabolisme besi. Hepcidin diketahui memiliki korelasi dengan ferritin, suatu parameter pemeriksaan anemia yang lazim diperiksa selama ini. Selain berperan pada patofisiologi anemia pada PGK, hepcidin saat ini banyak diteliti karena diduga turut berperan pada patofisiologi gangguan mineral tulang pada PGK. Penelitian saat ini menunjukkan bahwa konsentrasi vitamin D berbanding terbalik dengan konsentrasi hepcidin dan berhubungan positif dengan konsentrasi hemoglobin dan besi. Laporan terbaru secara invitro dan invivo mendukung adanya hubungan antara vitamin D dan anemia pada pasien dengan PGK melalui peran hepcidin.

Hal ini disebabkan karena UU No. 37/2004 tentang Kepailitan dan PKPU sudah tidak sesuai dengan kegiatan bisnis global dan ditemukan beberapa Pasal di dalamnya yang cenderung mengarahkan kepada kepentingan tertentu. Sehingga dengan adanya perbaikan regulasi hukum kepailitan Indonesia, serta perbaikan dalam indikator Ease of Doing Business yang menjadi penilaian utama adalah regulasi. Oleh karena itu, perbaikan regulasi (UUK PKPU) diharapkan mampu meningkatkan peringkat Kemudahan Berusaha (EoDB) Indonesia dalam menarik Investor baik lokal maupun asing untuk dapat menanamkan modalnya di Indonesia. Terutama dalam bisnis syariah yang semakin berkembang.

The exploration of inspired stories will place more emphasis on the period before prophetic revelation, so as to minimize the reasons for mankind's inability to make Muhammad a role model and an inspirational figure. The contextualization of thought in sirah nabawiyah was carried out using the hermeneutic approach as a method in the tradition of Paul Ricoeur's thought.
