Establishment and Validation of Diagnostic and Prognostic Prediction Models for Liver Metastasis in Patients with Rectal Cancer: A SEER-based Study
Authors: Wang Huimin , Zheng Ya , Chen Zhaofeng
Published: November 2024

Background: Rectal cancer is one of the most common gastrointestinal tumors, among which the liver is the most common site of distant metastasis and liver metastasis that leads to poor prognosis. This study aimed to develop and validate a diagnostic nomogram to predict the occurrence of rectal cancer with liver metastasis (RCLM) and a prognostic nomogram to predict cancer-specific survival (CSS) in RCML patients. Methods: Data on patients with rectal cancer diagnosed between 2010 and 2013 were collected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Univariate logistic regression and multivariate logistic regression were used to determine the independent risk factors of RCLM. Univariate Cox proportional hazards regression and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression were used to identify independent prognostic factors for RCLM. This study then developed two novel nomograms, and the results were evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Results: A total of 29367 patients with rectal cancer were included. Among them, 3403 patients (11.59%) had liver metastases at the time of diagnosis. The independent risk factors of RCLM included sex, race, tumor grade, AJCC N, CEA, marital status, tumor size, total number of primary tumors, and histological type. Age, chemotherapy, total number of primary tumors, surgery sites, and histological type were independent prognostic factors of patients with RCLM. The results of ROC curves, calibration curves, and DCA in the development, validation, and testing sets confirmed that the diagnostic nomogram can precisely predict the occurrence of RCLM. The results of ROC curves, calibration curves, DCA, C-indexes, and Kaplan–Meier (K-M) survival curves in the development, validation, and testing sets confirmed that the prognostic nomogram could precisely predict the prognosis of RCLM. Conclusion: The two nomograms are expected to be effective tools for predicting the risk of liver metastasis for patients with rectal cancer and personalized prognosis prediction for patients with RCLM, which may beneﬁt clinical decision-making.

Objective: Trauma survivors are more likely than others to use cannabis, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) commonly co-occurs with cannabis use disorder (CUD). Automatic memory associations between trauma reminders and cannabis use have been suggested as contributing mechanisms. These associations can be studied experimentally by manipulating trauma cue exposure in a cue-reactivity paradigm (CRP) and examining effects on the accessibility of cannabis information in memory in trauma survivors with and without PTSD. Method: Cannabis users with trauma histories (N = 202) completed a PTSD measure (PTSD Checklist-5) and were randomized to a trauma or neutral expressive writing task as an online CRP. Next, participants completed a cue-behavior word association task, which involved presentation of a series of ambiguous cue words to which participants provided the first word that came to mind. Some of these ambiguous cues pertained to cannabis (e.g., weed, pot) and some to other substances (e.g., blow, shot). This task was scored by two independent raters. Linear regression models tested the hypothesized main and interactive effects of CRP condition (trauma, neutral) and PTSD group (probable PTSD, no PTSD) on the number of cannabis and other substance responses generated. Results: Main effects of CRP condition were found for cannabis responses (b = 0.41, p = 0.048; trauma > neutral) but not other substance responses. Unexpectedly, no main effects or interactions of PTSD group were observed for either outcome. Conclusions: In cannabis users with trauma histories, writing about one’s trauma specifically activates greater accessibility of cannabis-related information in memory, regardless of PTSD.

Published: November 2024

This research investigates the preferred types of essay writing among new students enrolled in the English Language Education Study Program at Universitas Negeri Makassar (UNM). The research employs a qualitative descriptive method, focusing on second-semester students from four classes (D, E, F, and G) who are taking an Essay Writing course during the 2023/2024 academic year. A total of 142 students participated in this study, providing data through questionnaires distributed via Google Forms. The findings reveal a diverse range of preferences for different essay types. The most favored type of essay among the students is the descriptive essay, chosen by 33 students. This is followed by narrative essays, preferred by 28 students, and procedural essays, selected by 20 students. Other types of essays, such as reviews (17 students), explanations (12 students), and recounts (9 students), also showed significant interest. Less popular were news items (7 students), discussions (5 students), anecdotes, reports, and spoofs (each chosen by 3 students), and hortatory expositions, which were the least favored, selected by only 2 students. The results suggest that descriptive and narrative essays are particularly engaging for new students, potentially due to their ability to express personal experiences and creativity. These insights can guide the development of writing curricula that better align with student interests, ultimately enhancing their writing skills and overall language proficiency.

Centrifugal pumps are extensively used in industries and water management systems, where accurate measurements of water flow rate and pump head are essential for evaluating performance. However, inaccuracies arising from suboptimal designs of training kits present challenges in educational environments. This study aimed to optimize a centrifugal pump training kit to enhance measurement accuracy and reliability. The research was conducted over four months, involving modifications to the impeller, casing, and pressure measurement systems, along with rigorous calibration to minimize errors. Measurements of suction pressure, discharge pressure, water flow rate, and pump head were repeated under standardized conditions to ensure data consistency. The results demonstrated significant improvements, with consistent measurements of suction pressure (21 inHg), discharge pressure (15 PSI), water flow rate (0.5 L/s), and pump head (1.38 mH₂O). These optimizations reduced system inefficiencies, such as backflow and turbulence, and enhanced the kit’s ability to replicate real-world operating conditions. The improved training kit provides students with a reliable tool for practical learning, bridging theoretical concepts with real-world applications in fluid mechanics. This study underscores the importance of continual enhancement of laboratory teaching tools to support effective education and industrial relevance.

Published: November 2024

Modern artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning in particular, is being utilized to develop prediction, detection, and treatment solutions for mental health care with the emergence of digital approaches to mental health. AI is being used in therapy to improve user experience and maximize individualized mental health care through digital interventions, including web and smartphone apps. Modern sources of copious amounts of data allow for the development of prediction/detection models for mental health disorders through the use of data-driven AI techniques. Specifically, behavioral or mental health insights can be extracted from an individual's "digital exhaust," which is the data obtained from their multiple personal digital devices and social media activities. Language has traditionally been seen as a window into the human mind, but with the help of potent computer-based natural language processing, it can now be statistically used as data to infer mental health. Furthermore, conversational agents for therapeutic intervention can be created using natural language processing

Authors: Chu I-Tien , Lin Hsin-Hung , Wei Jui-Jung
Published: November 2024

STEAM education cultivated implementation, invention, and innovation, and advocated the educational principles of “cross-domain, implementation, application, problem-solving, and five-sense learning.” In this study, teachers’ acceptance and satisfaction with STEAM teaching were explored using the fuzzy analytical hierarchy process by determining the weight of criteria that teachers valued. 80 teachers participated in the questionnaire survey. The collected responses were analyzed using the multi-criteria decision-making and problem-solving method to make reasonable solutions to complex problems of STEAM teaching. The result showed that teachers’ acceptance and satisfaction were most important in implementing STEAM education. At the same time, teachers need to improve their professionalism and capabilities in STEAM courses to improve students’ design and innovation literacy. In addition, learning needs to be integrated into the curriculum and sufficient time needs to be provided for smooth promotion. When teachers were satisfied with the integrated STEAM education, the students’ improvement in design innovation literacy and learning results were observed in this study. Experience and background knowledge affect effectiveness in teaching and learning. Also, “ease of learning and acceptance” and “ease of integration into teaching” were found to be important criteria for teachers to improve professionalism, increase the investment of their resources in teaching, and overcome the difficulties of learning. To enhance the professionalism of teachers, appropriate knowledge and curriculum reform is demanded through the interdisciplinary education of STEAM courses.

The understanding process of primary education students was analyzed when they solve tasks related to the concept of ratio. The study was based on the theoretical framework of Pirie and Kieren (1994). The methodology was qualitative with the case study method. The study was carried out in three stages: planning, development and analysis, using the field observation technique. Data collection was carried out through a task and an interview. The data were analyzed based on theoretical articulation. The results revealed that students lack the prior knowledge necessary to understand the concept of ratio. In conclusion, it can be noted that students do not present logical arguments to formalize the concept, and their understanding process is reduced to memorization or the use of mathematical strategies without understanding the relationship between the task and the mathematical concept.

Liderazgo destructivo, violencia laboral y estrés de rol: un modelo de mediación moderada en trabajadores de hospitales públicos de Chile.
Authors:   , Villagra Cantero Belén Antonia
Published: November 2024

Para entender el fenómeno de la violencia laboral, enfoques teóricos recientes sugieren que ésta es el resultado de la forma en que se organiza el trabajo y del empleo de ciertos estilos de liderazgo. Esta investigación ha buscado comprender la relación entre el liderazgo destructivo (tiránico y laissez-faire), el estrés de rol (ambigüedad y conflicto de rol) y la violencia laboral a través de la propuesta de un modelo de mediación moderada. En particular, corroborar la relación entre el liderazgo destructivo y la violencia laboral, donde el estrés de rol ejerza un rol mediador, mientras que, el liderazgo destructivo ejerza un rol moderador en la relación entre el estrés de rol y la violencia laboral. Se empleó un diseño de estudio postfacto retrospectivo con una muestra de 1855 trabajadores de hospitales en Chile. Los resultados revelan que tanto para el liderazgo tiránico [0.007 (DE= 0.003, IC= 0.002-0.015)] como laissez-faire [0.013 (DE= 0.004, IC= 0.005-0.023)] el estrés de rol tienen un efecto mediador significativo sobre la violencia laboral a través del conflicto y la ambigüedad de rol. Sin embargo, no se encontró evidencia de que el liderazgo destructivo actúe como moderador. Estos hallazgos resaltan la importancia de considerar los efectos negativos de ciertos estilos de liderazgo en el ambiente laboral, ofreciendo un contraste a las conceptualizaciones predominantemente positivas. Lo que contribuye al campo al abrir nuevas vías de estudio sobre los impactos perjudiciales del liderazgo, con posibles implicaciones tanto en el ámbito académico como en la gestión de recursos humanos.
Niche aspects that allow the coexistence of a carnivore community in different habitats of andean mountain range in central Chile.
Authors:   , Rodríguez Serrano Enrique
Published: November 2024

La competencia es producida por el solapamiento de nicho, especialmente en especies morfológica, ecológica, filogenéticamente similares y simpátricas. Sin embargo, si los recursos son suficientes las especies realizaran una partición del nicho en 3 ejes fundamentales: comida, tiempo y espacio. Entender las interacciones de los depredadores nos permite entender las relaciones ecológicas dentro de una comunidad. En Chile central hay especies de carnívoros viviendo en simpatría. A su vez, esta área concentra una mayor antropización del hábitat, llevando a las especies a coexistir en un ambiente con menor disponibilidad de recursos. Es por esto que el objetivo principal de este trabajo fue comprender como los tres ejes principales permiten la coexistencia de estos depredadores en un ambiente con recursos limitados. Proponemos que las especies de carnívoros relacionados ecológica y morfológicamente exhibirán una mayor segregación espaciotemporal para evitar el riesgo de agresión y la competencia de recursos. Mas aun, esperamos que, en el hábitat nativo, los carnívoros segregaran sus dietas debido a la alta diversidad de alimento. En el hábitat antropizado, más ítems de alimento exóticos será consumida dada la disminución de ítems nativos, cambiando la dinámica trófica entre los carnívoros. Para esto, comparamos un hábitat antropizado con un hábitat nativo en el parque nacional Radal Siete Tazas. Evaluamos el eje espaciotemporal con cámaras trampa, y para el eje trófico se colecto y analizo fecas de los carnívoros y se capturaron pequeños mamíferos en el área de estudio. Obtuvimos datos de 6 de 8 carnívoros. Casi todas las especies prefirieron las horas de oscuridad con excepción del quique, y presentaron distintas preferencias de hábitats. La dieta de los carnívoros estuvo compuesta en su mayoría de pequeños roedores, la mayoría especies exóticas. En el hábitat nativo, se observó un mayor número de interacciones entre los carnívoros con valores de solapamiento moderados y altos, mientras que en el hábitat antropizado hubo un menor número de especies depredadoras y menor disponibilidad de recursos, es por esto que se encontró un menor número de interacciones, pero todas con un alto solapamiento de nicho. De los tres ejes principales, la segregación del nicho espacial y las distintas preferencias de hábitat parecen ser la llave para la coexistencia de esta comunidad de carnívoros a través de los diferentes tipos de hábitat; el nicho trófico y temporal por hábitat y especies también juegan un rol fundamental para evitar la competencia de recursos cuando el eje espacial esta solapado.
Subversive spaces and regulated desires: The heteronormative gaze in R. Raj Rao’s Hostel Room 131
Authors: Hasanuzzaman Ansari
Published: November 2024

Constructing a cultural framework, the heteronormative gaze operates as a regulatory force that upholds heterosexuality as the normative ideal, marginalizing and pathologizing non-heteronormative identities. By privileging heterosexuality, it perpetuates binary structures and enforces conformity within public and private spheres. Highlighting the inherent queerness within Indian social structures, R. Raj Rao has always advocated the homosocial fabric that characterizes male relationships in his different texts. Drawing from examples such as Bollywood films like Sholay, Rao illustrates how male friendships (yaar/dost) subtly reconfigure homosocial spaces, allowing non-heteronormative desires to be expressed in coded forms. These interactions, while appearing innocent, blur the lines between normative camaraderie and subversive queer expressions. In Hostel Room 131, Rao captures the pervasive impact of the heteronormative gaze on queer life, documenting the lived experiences of Siddharth and Sudhir as they navigate a society that alternates between normalizing and criminalizing public male affection. The novel explores how societal pressures, homophobia, and attempts at conversion therapy are wielded to enforce conformity, leading to psychic and physical trauma. This paper aims to explore the extensive impact of the heteronormative gaze and its repercussions on queer individuals as portrayed in R. Raj Rao’s Hostel Room 131. It seeks to understand how the novel critiques Indian social frameworks by emphasizing the friction between homosocial environments and the imposition of heteronormative standards. Through an analysis of the relationship between Siddharth and Sudhir, this study investigates how public expressions of male affection, though outwardly accepted, transform into arenas of both regulation and resistance.

The increasing significance of innovation and the disruptive nature of startups in established businesses serve as the foundation for this study. The goal of this research is to examine the dynamics of innovation and disruption in traditional industries and to offer practical advice to established companies confronting these difficulties. To completely study the processes of innovation and disruption in traditional industries and the adaptation tactics taken by established organizations, a mixed-methods research strategy was adopted. The findings of this study offer valuable perspectives about the intricate mechanisms of innovation, disruption, and adaptation within conventional sectors. The results of this study provide insights into the complex mechanisms of innovation, disruption, and adaptation within conventional sectors. A number of significant insights can be derived from the analysis. Innovation within conventional sectors is a multifaceted occurrence that involves breakthroughs in technology, alterations in business strategies, and adaptations inside organizations. Established businesses in conventional industries are challenged with the obligation to adapt to disruptive change. Adaptation techniques include ambidexterity, where firms combine the investigation of new technologies with the exploitation of existing competencies. Dynamic capabilities play a crucial role in organizations as they allow them to effectively perceive, capture, and modify their resources and competencies in order to successfully adjust to evolving market conditions.

In the same vision of the valorization of the species Annona muricata L. (Annonaceae) and with regard to the previous scientific data collected on this plant species, a study was initiated to search for chemical constituents of seeds of this plant which could have the clarifying (coagulant) properties of domestic wastewater. The results obtained show that these seeds contain carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, terpenes and sterols in its almonds and integuments ; flavonoids and tannins in its integuments with significant contents of organic compounds (66.15 %) as well as mineral compounds (00.97 %) and volatile compounds (32.88 %). The vegetable oil (lipids) extracted is 30.56 % in these seeds. The evaluation of the clarifying activity of soursop seeds on samples of domestic wastewater with turbidities of 160 and 259 NTU showed that these seeds have a reduction rate of colloids or suspended matter of 95.40 % with the solution of its almonds and 97.58 % with the solution of its almond cakes at respective doses of 4800 mg powder/L and 3200 mg powder/L in 30 minutes. The results obtained prove that these seeds contain 35.59 % of other organic compounds (proteins, amino acids, carbohydrates and starch) which are responsible for this water clarifying activity. It is important to note that to our knowledge, the indications given on the activity of clarifying wastewater by the seeds of this fruit have not yet been the subject of scientific work making it possible to identify some of the compounds responsible for this activity in these glitches.

Published: November 2024

Graduation is the final result of the learning process during the course. Student graduation time is affected by many factors. Whether or not the time of student graduation is appropriate is an important thing that must be considered. Graduating well and on time is one measure of success in the learning process. This research aims to build a student graduation classification model by applying the QUEST (Quick, Unbiased, and Efficient, Statistical Tree) and CHAID (Chi-squared Automatic Interaction Detection) methods, examining the factors that affect student graduation, and comparing the classification results of the two methods. Both methods produce output in the form of tree diagrams, making it easier to interpret. Based on the classification tree formed from the two methods, four final nodes of the classification tree were generated, and three categories were grouped. Factors that affect student graduation include age and IPK. The classification results show that the percentage of classification accuracy for student graduation with QUEST and CHAID methods is 76.1%.

The rapid development of the food industry along with the increasing mobility of the community drives the demand for more sophisticated, hygienic, and efficient kitchen utensils. However, frying utensils that are still often used have weaknesses, such as uneven heat distribution and less than optimal residue filtration. This can reduce product quality and production efficiency, so improvements are needed to maintain product consistency and quality. This research aims to redesign the frying device. The SWOT method in this study helps to identify weaknesses and opportunities for improvement in traditional frying utensils and  the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) method is used to identify user needs. The results of the study show that the development of this new frying device has proven to be more efficient compared to traditional convex pans, especially in a more even distribution of heat. With the addition of thermostat features, kitchen timer, gas detector, and waste filtration system. These innovations not only improve efficiency and convenience, but also provide additional protection for user safety.

Abstract :This study aims to determine and examine the effect of receiving ZISWAF, BOPO, and non-operating profit / loss on gross NPF with firm size as a moderation variable for the period 2018.Q1 – 2023.Q3. The sample used in this study is companies in the financial sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in 2018-2023. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, with a total sample of 5 banks for 6 years. The data analysis techniques used are Panel Data Regression Analysis and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) with the Eviews 12 application. The results showed that ziswa funds, BOPO and non-operating profit / loss showed a significant influence on the value of the company. This means that if the value of ziswa funds generated is higher, the funds can be used to strengthen the capital of Islamic financial institutions so that the risk of bad loans will be reduced. High BOPO levels have an impact on Gross NPF levels. Large operational costs can reduce the company's profitability. Good non-operating profit can help reduce NPF Gross by improving the company's financial stability and repayment ability, while large non-operating losses can increase credit risk and contribute to an increase in NPF Gross if not managed properly. Firm size shows a significant positive influence on company value. This means that if the resulting capital structure is high, it will cause a decrease in the value of the company, and vice versa. Then, in the interaction of moderation variables, probability can moderate ziswa funds, BOPO, non-operating profit / loss on NPF against the value of financial sector companies in the 2018Q1-2023Q3 period. Keywords: Islamic Banking,ZISWAF Fund, BOPO,profit and loss, NPF Gross, Firm Size.

Kontextualisierende Aktenanalyse

Mit Blick auf Unterstützungsnotwendigkeiten von als »komplex behindert« geltenden Menschen geht die Autorin davon aus, dass Ausdrucksformen des so benannten Personenkreises – wenn diese als »Problemverhalten« oder ähnlich defizitär markiert werden – alternativ erklärt und verstanden werden können als Isolationskompensation. Mit letzterem wird auf das Erklärungspotential der Rehistorisierenden Diagnostik abgehoben. Allerdings stellt die Rekonstruktion von Isolations-Verhältnissen und deren psychische Kompensation, als Konkretum einer individuellen Entwicklungsgeschichte, besonders dann eine Herausforderung dar, wenn der betroffene Mensch zu aktuellen und früheren Isolations-Vorkommnissen grundsätzlich nicht aussagefähig und zu den ihm zugemuteten Widerfahrnissen nicht befragbar erscheint. Zugleich ist sein Alltag, z.B. in einer stationären Wohngruppe, vielfach von wiederkehrenden Extremsituationen bestimmt, in denen – zugespitzt formuliert – auf sein mitunter extrem wirkendes und zugleich unverständlich bleibendes Ausdrucksverhalten (gleichwohl rasch interpretiert als »Autooder Fremdaggressionen«) mit extremen Unterbindungsmaßnahmen (bis hin zu »Fixierungen«) reagiert wird. Verengungen, Stereotypien und Chronifizierungen im diagnostischen Blick und im pädagogischen Handeln zeigen sich immer dann, wenn in einem auf die »Person fokussierten individualisierten Blick […] die gesellschaftlichen Kontexte außen vor« bleiben (Wesselmann, 2022, S. 69). Somit haben wir uns über die soziale Entwicklungsgeschichte einer Person zu informieren, in der es von der Qualität der jeweiligen Antwortverhältnisse abhing, ob isolierende Bedingungen zu Isolationsfolgen, d.h. zu schwerwiegenden Behinderungserfahrungen geführt haben (Steffens, 2020, S. 279). Für einen ersten Rekonstruktions-Zugang der je konkreten Isolationsverhältnisse und -auswirkungen können Akteninformationen dienen. Allerdings sind sie als Berichterstattung aus zweiter Hand anzusehen, da insbesondere im besagten Feld unterschiedliche Fremdurteile die Akteninhalte dominieren. Dadurch wird ein (unkommentiertes) Zusammenstellen von vorgefundenen »Fakten« nicht ausreichend sein. Die Frage ist, wie wir uns – wenn wir uns den in einer Akte gesammelten Fremdurteilen zuwenden – einen Übergang von entnommenem Beschreibungswissen hin zu einem kontextualisierenden Erklärungswissen erarbeiten können. Dazu wird skizzenhaft ein Informationsordnungsrahmen vorgestellt, der vorschlägt, wie Aktenfakten mit (neuen) Fragestellungen zu verbinden sind.
