Significance Statement

Patients with ESRD experience a substantially increased incidence of cancer, but few studies have examined patterns of cancer mortality among such patients. This population-based cohort study of Australian patients who initiated dialysis or received a kidney transplant from 1980 to 2014 found that the risk of cancer-related death among 52,936 patients on dialysis and 16,820 kidney transplant recipients was 2.5 times higher than that of age- and sex-matched controls in the general population. For patients on dialysis, increased cancer mortality is primarily from cancers that caused ESRD; among transplant recipients, the increase is largely due to de novo cancers. Additional efforts are required to clarify factors and mechanisms involved in increased cancer risk and to improve early detection and management of cancer in this population.

Background

Patients with ESRD have a substantially increased cancer risk, but few studies have examined the patterns of cancer mortality along a patient's journey from dialysis to transplantation.

Methods

We identified all Australian patients on dialysis and patients with transplants from 1980 to 2014 from the Australia and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant Registry. Using standardized mortality ratios (SMRs), we compared cancer mortality among patients on dialysis and patients with transplants versus the general population (overall and by age, sex, year, and site); we also performed a subgroup analysis excluding patients with preexisting cancers.

Results

We followed 52,936 patients on dialysis and 16,820 transplant recipients for 170,055 and 128,352 patient-years, respectively. There were 2739 cancer deaths among patients on dialysis and 923 cancer deaths among transplant recipients. Overall, cancer SMRs were 2.6 for patients on dialysis and 2.7 for transplant recipients. For patients on dialysis, SMRs were highest for multiple myeloma (30.5), testicular cancer (17.0), and kidney cancer (12.5); for transplant recipients, SMRs were highest for non-Hodgkin lymphoma (10.7), kidney cancer (7.8), and melanoma (5.8). Some 61.0% of patients on dialysis and 9.6% of transplant recipients who experienced cancer death had preexisting cancer. The SMRs for de novo cancer was 1.2 for patients on dialysis and 2.6 for transplant recipients.

Conclusions

Patients on dialysis and transplant recipients experienced >2.5-fold increased risk of cancer death compared with the general population. This increased risk was largely driven by preexisting cancers in patients on dialysis and de novo cancers in patients with transplants.

Published: February 2019

Modern contraceptives are highly effective and proven means of preventing unintended pregnancy and reducing maternal mortality. Social and economic characteristics are some of the key determinants of health and utilization family planning. However, studies examining the factors associated with utilization of long acting reversible contraception (LARC) are limited in Nepal. This study assessed the factors associated with utilization of LARC methods among married women of reproductive age in Nepal. Secondary data analysis was conducted using the 2016 Nepal Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS). A logistic regression model examined the association of socioeconomic, demographic, or fertility related characteristics with the use of LARCs among 9875 ever married women of reproductive age. The overall utilization rate of LARC in this study was 4.7%. Women in the age group of <25 years (AOR: 0.65, 95% CI: 0.45-0.92) and 25-35 years (AOR: 0.70, 95% CI: 0.56-0.89), having husbands with primary education (AOR:0.71; 95%CI: 0.64-0.84) and no education (AOR: 0.54; 95%CI: 0.38-0.73), belonging to Janajatis (AOR: 0.55; 95%CI: 0.42-0.71) and Newars (AOR: 0.29; 95%CI: 0.19-42), poor wealth quintile (AOR: 0.60; 95% CI: 0.45-0.86) had negative association with LARC use. On the other hand, women having their husband as a skilled worker (AOR: 1.49; 95%CI: 1.10-2), having two or less than two children (AOR: 1.46; 95% CI: 1.15-1.186), and having desire for children in future (AOR: 3.24; 95% CI: 2.29-4.57) had positive association with the use of LARC. In this study, younger women’s age, low or no husband’s education, from indigenous community such as Janajati and Newer, being in lowest wealth quintile negatively influenced the use of LARC. Conversely, women having her husband as skilled worker, parity less than two, and desire of having future children, positively influenced the use of LARC. The study highlights the need to reach women who were in the lower socioeconomic background to improve LARC use.

Adaptive Observer of Rotor Position and Flux for Salient Synchronous Motor
Authors: Bazylev D. N. , Pyrkin A. A. , Bobtsov A. A.
Published: February 2019

An algorithm of adaptive estimation of rotor flux and angular position for the salient synchronous motor with permanent magnets is presented. A new nonlinear parameterization of the dynamic motor model is proposed. Due to this parameterization the problem of position estimation is translated to the task of identification of unknown constant parameters. During the synthesis of estimation algorithm the currents and voltages of the stator windings, as well as the rotor speed, are assumed to be known signals. Two variants of the adaptive observer based on the standard gradient estimator and the algorithm of the dynamic extension of the regressor are proposed. It is proved that the both versions of the observer provide global exponential convergence of estimation errors to zero if the corresponding regression function satisfies the persistent excitation condition. Also, the latter version of the observer provides global asymptotic convergence if the regression function is square integrable. The results of numerical simulation demonstrate that the algorithm with the dynamic extension of the regressor provides a better quality of estimation transient processes in comparison with the standard gradient estimator.
Marine Diesel-generator Model for Voltage and Frequency Variation Analysis During Fault Scenarios
Authors: Cuculić Aleksandar , Ćelić Jasmin , Prenc Rene
Published: February 2019

Various faults in ship’s electrical power system, primarily those connected with diesel-generators, governors and automatic voltage regulators, may lead to oscillations in generator load, voltage and frequency. If those transients are large enough, a partial or total blackout may occur. In order to prevent such events, it is very important to get an insight into dynamic behaviour of electrical energy sources on board vessel. In this paper, a dynamic model in the time domain of marine diesel-generator is presented. The model is realized in the MATLAB/SIMULINK environment and consists of three main parts: the synchronous generator model, diesel-engine governor model and voltage regulator
model. Simulation of a sudden loss of one generator when two generators are running in parallel is performed. Simulation results show that the presented model is fully applicable for the purpose of analysis of the marine diesel-generator dynamic behaviour during transient periods.
The Role Of Strategic Management In The Cruising Tourism Market Offer
Authors: Gračan Daniela
Published: February 2019

In the mid-70s of the last century, due to changes in the marketing strategy and repositioning of the entire sector on the market, the demand for cruise tourism experienced growth. One of the reasons for the relatively rapid development of the market of cruise tourism was conquering new segments of consumers and the development of new concepts of cruise that offers rest and relaxation with a variety of activities and entertainment on board.
Cruising has evolved into a major worldwide corporate business, and the dynamic changes in the reorganization of major cruise corporation went up with the high growth rates in demand on the world cruise market. The main objective of the reorganization of these large corporations is contained in adapting to the needs of tourists on cruise ships, trying to adjust the offer to growing demand - to its multi-functional and multi-disciplinary nature. Today, the dominating business and scientific-economic concept is a marketing approach in which the consumer-tourist is in the center of attention.
Building Capacity as Anchor Institutions: Infrastructure, Structure, and Strategy
Authors: Norris Kristin Elise , Weiss H. Anne
Published: February 2019

As campuses embrace their role as anchor institutions, considerations should be given to the role of infrastructure, structure, and strategy. This article differentiates between infrastructure and organizational structure then identifies implications for determining who should be involved based upon the institutional and community goals. Resources and infrastructure—a center or office that supports and coordinates community engagement—has been noted as a key component to the institutionalization of community engagement (Welch & Saltmarsh, 2013). How might the infrastructure used to support community engagement differ from the anchor institution mission? This article will illustrate potential differences and similarities while offering recommendations and considerations that would be useful as campuses develop their anchor institution plans.
Aligning Equity, Engagement, and Social Innovation in Anchor Initiatives
Authors: Del Rio Esteban , Loggins John
Published: February 2019

Drawing on cultural studies and the practice of engaged learning and scholarship, this paper proposes a cultural approach to institutional transformation, which we argue necessarily follows anchor partnerships. The authors advance a model of cohesion and alignment among equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI), community engagement, and social entrepreneurship commitments at colleges and universities. This centers on the notion of “joining” as an epistemology and a methodology in community and campus-based work to achieve the anchor mission. In addition to advancing a theoretical model, the authors draw upon theory in practice at the University of San Diego, where the Center for Inclusion and Diversity, Mulvaney Center for Community, Awareness, and Social Action, and the Changemaker HUB aligned their efforts to approach student learning, community empowerment, and economic development through a cohesive lens.
Developing the Student Anchor Engagement Framework
Authors: Kebea Jennifer Johnson
Published: February 2019

Modern urban and metropolitan universities are increasingly obliged to recognize their role as anchor institutions. These same institutions of higher education (IHEs) also have a responsibility to educate students to be responsible and participatory citizens in society. An increasing number of IHEs recognize these distinct commitments as central to the public purpose of higher education. However, few intentionally involve students in anchor mission work. This misalignment denies students a rich opportunity for civic learning and democratic engagement. Furthermore, it prevents IHEs and their surrounding communities from realizing the benefits of harmonizing these two commitments. This mixed-methods research study resulted in the development of the Student Anchor Engagement Framework, a 36-item strategic framework designed to identify how IHEs can intentionally involve students in anchor strategy. The framework derives from The Democracy Collaborative’s Anchor Institution Community Benefit Dashboard. Expert participants ranked all items included in the framework as to their potential to influence student civic learning and democratic engagement. Implications of this research study include the potential for IHEs to consider, strategically, ways to align student civic learning with anchor institution practices for the advancement of both pursuits.

Published: February 2019

Dikkat Eksikliği Hiperaktivite Bozukluğu (DEHB), çocukluk çağının en sık görülen nöropsikiyatrik bozukluklarındandır. DEHB; dikkat dağınıklığı, dürtüsellik, irritabilite ve hiperaktivite ile karakterize, heterojen, gelişimsel bir bozukluktur. Çalışmalar DEHB tanılı çocuk ve ergenlerin yaklaşık %25-50'sinin uyku problemlerine sahip olduğunu, sağlıklı kontrollere göre anlamlı olarak daha fazla uyku problemleri yaşadıklarını göstermektedir. Sağlıklı çocuklarda yapılan çalışmalar yetersiz uykunun dikkat ve davranışsal sorunlara, dürtüselliğe, sosyal ve akademik işlevsellikte ciddi bozulmalara yol açtığını göstermektedir. Uyku problemlerinin psikiyatrik problemler için artmış risk ile ilişkili olduğu bulunmuştur. DEHB hastalarında uyku sorunlarının tedavisinde hayat boyu uygulanabilir ve kişiselleştirilmiş tedavi stratejilerine ihtiyaç vardır. DEHB'si olan çoğu hasta birincil uyku şikâyetiyle başvurabilir veya uyku güçlüğü olan çoğu hasta da DEHB şikâyetleriyle karşımıza gelebilir. Klinisyenler her iki bozukluğun yönetimine yönelik müdahalelere ihtiyaç duymaktadır. Bu çalışmada DEHB tanılı çocuklarda en sık görülen uyku bozukluklarına odaklanıldı ve popüler bir konu olarak medya kullanımı ve uyku ile ilişkisi de incelendi. DEHB'li çocuklardaki uyku problemlerinin yaygınlığı, klinikle ilişkisi ve tedavi stratejileri ile ilgili en güncel çalışmaların sunulması ve olası bazı araştırma alanlarına ışık tutulması amaçlanmıştır.

Considering the sustainable development goals the innovative business models have brought competitive advantage to improve the sustainability performance of organizations. The concept of sustainable business model describes the rationale of how an organization creates, delivers, and captures value, in economic, social, cultural or other contexts in a sustainable way. The process of sustainable business model construction forms an innovative part of business strategy. Different industries and businesses have utilized sustainable business models concept to satisfy their economic, environmental and social goals simultaneously. However, the success, popularity, and the progress of sustainable business models in different application domains are not clear. To explore this issue, this research provides a comprehensive review on sustainable business models literature in various application areas. Notable sustainable business models are identified and further classified in fifteen unique categories, and in every category the progress (either failure or success) has been reviewed and the research gaps are discussed. Taxonomy of the applications includes, innovation, management and marketing, entrepreneurship, energy, fashion, healthcare, agri-food, supply chain management, circular economy, developing countries, engineering, construction and real estate, mobility and transportation, and hospitality. The key contribution of this study is to provide an insight about the state of the art of sustainable business models in various application areas and the future research directions. This paper concludes that popularity and the success rate of sustainable business models in all application domains have been increased along with increasing use of advanced ICT technologies.

Published: February 2019

The development and application of marine current energy are attracting more and more attention in the world. Due to the hardness of its working environment, it is important and difficult to study the fault diagnosis of marine current generation system. In this paper, underwater image is chosen as the fault diagnosing signal after different sensors are compared. This paper proposes a diagnosis method based on the sparse autoencoder (SA) and softmax regression (SR). The SA is used to extract the features and SR is used to classify them. Images are used to monitor whether the blade is attached by benthos and to determine its corresponding degree of attachment. Compared with the other techniques, experiment results show that the proposed method can diagnose the blade attachment with higher accuracy.
Classical and Quantum Kepler's Third Law of N-Body System
Authors: Sun Bohua
Published: February 2019

Inspired by amazing result obtained by Semay [1], this study revisits generalised Kepler's third law of an n-body system from the perspective of dimension analysis. To be compatible with Semay's quantum n-body result, this letter reports a conjecture which had not be included in author's early publication [2] but formulated in the author's research memo. The new conjecture for quantum N-body system is proposed as follows: Tq|Eq|3/2 = πG/√2[(ΣNi=1 ΣNj=i+1 mimj)3/(ΣNk=1 mk)]1/2. This formulae is, of course, consistent with the Kepler's third law of 2-body system, and exact same as Semay's quantum result for identical bodies.

The effects of carbon fiber hybridisation on the thermal properties of woven kenaf reinforced epoxy composites kenaf fibre were studied. Woven kenaf hybrid composites at the different weave designs of plain and satin, and fabric count of 5 × 5 and 6 × 6 were manually prepared by vacuum infusion technique.  Thermal properties of pure carbon fibre and hybrid composites were conducted by using thermogravimetric analyser (TGA) and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). It was found that at high kenaf fibre content showed better thermal stability while the highest thermally stable was found in pure carbon fibre composite.  The TG and DTG results showed that the amount of residue decreased in plain-designed hybrid composite compared to satin-designed hybrid composite. The DSC data revealed that the presence of woven kenaf increase decomposition temperature.
Generative Cloud of Points SLAM (G-SLAM)
Authors: Zikos Nikos , Petridis Vassilios
Published: February 2019

Mobile robots need an environmental perception ability in order to interact with the surrounding environment. In this paper we present the G-SLAM method, where the map is consisted of a cloud of scattered points in the continuous space and each point is accompanied by an obstacle existence probability. On the other hand the robot's pose (and trajectory) is estimated by an particle filters while the cloud of points is estimated by an adaptive recursive algorithm which is presented. Main feature of the presented method is the adaptive repositioning of the scattered points and their convergence around obstacles. In addition to our previous publications, In this paper a mathematical derivation of the method is presented and real case scenarios are discussed, presented and compared with other methods.
Eradicating Metastatic Cancer and the Evolutionary Dynamics of Extinction
Authors: Gatenby Robert , Brown Joel S.
Published: February 2019

We propose the traditional goal of cancer therapists to develop a single drug or drug combination that can, by itself, eliminate all cancer cells within a host has neglected potential treatments that may achieve curative outcomes by strategically combining agents that are individually effective but non-curative. We derive basic principles for such an approach from the eco-evolutionary dynamics of background extinctions in which a “first strike” reduces the size and heterogeneity of the initial population and is followed immediately by demographic and ecological “second strikes” that push the population below an extinction threshold. This proposed strategy appears identical to the empirically-derived curative therapy in childhood Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia.
