Authors: Haidar Majd , Al Saleh Jumana
Published: October 2021

Background: Breast cancer has increased universally. Angiogenesis is an essential step for cancer growth, progression and metastasis. Recent studies have focused on Angiopoietin-2 as a promising biomarker in prospecting the prognosis of the cancer. Objective: Determine the relation between serum concentrations of Angiopoietin-2 and clinicopathological data in breast cancer patients. Methodology: This study is prospective, cohort type. It includes 30 women with breast cancer, who met the study criteria. The serum Ang-2 value was calibrated using ELISA technique. The data was processed using SPSS program. Results: Ang-2 serum levels were statistically significant associated with ER status (P = 0.036). However, no signifi¬cant correlation was observed between serum Ang-2 level and the other clinicopathologic param¬eters tested, including Histological type (P = 0.417), Clinical grade G (P = 0.91), Clinical stage T (P = 0.913), Clinical stage N (P = 0.086), PR status (P = 0.467), and HER-2 status (P = 0.791). Serum levels of Ang-2 for breast cancer patients was significantly higher than healthy control (20411.33± 6283.19 vs 1731.70± 368.35 pg/ml, P< 0.000). our data indicates that serum levels of Ang-2 has no correlation between the tumor grade and stage in breast cancer patients.

Published: October 2021

The use of concrete in Indonesia cannot be separated from skyscrapers, bridges with long spans, and underground buildings which generally have a larger load, so the use of high-strength concrete is necessary. This study aims to determine the value of compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength, modulus of elasticity of concrete and determine the workability of fresh concrete with the addition of 0.8% superplaticizer. The test objects used in the form of cylinders with a diameter of 15 cm and a height of 30 cm as many as 15 pieces, and 3 pieces of blocks measuring 15 cm × 15 cm × 60 cm. From the results of the study, the compressive strength value was 43,007 MPa. The split tensile strength test is 3.584 MPa. The flexural strength test is 4,340 MPa. The elastic modulus test is 28447.956 MPa. From the slump test on fresh concrete with the addition of a superplaticizer, it is obtained by 10 cm.

This study was to determine the physical properties of the soil and the effect of adding coconut ash to the permeability coefficient using the fall method. Soil sampling was carried out in Bolu Village, Rantepao District, North Toraja Regency and the added material used coconut fiber from community waste located on Biring Romang Street, Kapasa Village, Makassar City with the proportion of added material being 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15%. The structure in this research is to use research on the physical properties of the soil and then compile the composition of the alloy to the soil permeability test so that it can produce a coefficient of soil permeability. The results of this study indicate that the soil meets the characteristics as clay soil. The effect of adding fiber ash to the soil is a decrease in the permeability value where the higher the proportion of coconut fibers, the smaller the permeability until the addition of 15%.
COVID-19: Consideraciones para el retorno al trabajo, discapacidades y salud ocupacional
Authors: Dávila Morán Roberto Carlos
Published: October 2021

La pandemia de SARS-CoV-2 crea nuevos desafíos para la salud ocupacional, al desviar la atención del regreso al trabajo después de problemas de salud para reanudar el trabajo durante un brote, lidiar con el encierro y tener especialmente en cuenta a los trabajadores con vulnerabilidades. Recomendamos considerar tres aspectos diferentes de la medicina ocupacional durante una pandemia. En primer lugar, para la mayoría de los trabajadores con alto riesgo de COVID-19 grave, los problemas de discapacidad laboral y reanudación del trabajo nunca habían ocurrido antes de la epidemia. Recomendaciones como el distanciamiento social, distanciamiento físico y el uso de una mascarilla son muy recomendables para protegerse contra las infecciones, pero pueden no ser suficientes para que algunas personas puedan reanudar el trabajo. Por lo tanto, la toma de decisiones requiere evaluaciones integrales individuales de la afección médica subyacente, el riesgo de contaminación por SARS-CoV-2 asociado con el trabajo regular o el teletrabajo y las oportunidades de vacunación.
Stability of sharp Fourier restriction
Authors: Carneiro Emanuel
Published: October 2021

The classical paper of R. Strichartz [Duke Math. J., 1977] has been very influential for the study of partial differential equations. This is the birth of what became known as 'Strichartz estimates', which can be equivalently seen as Fourier (adjoint) restriction inequalities over certain quadratic surfaces: paraboloids, cones, spheres and hyperboloids. In the first part of this talk I will briefly give an overview of what is currently known in the theme of `sharp Fourier restriction' theory, that is, the search for extremizers of these inequalities. For instance, in the case of the sphere, it is conjectured that the constant functions should be the extremizers for the L^2 → L^q adjoint Fourier restriction, but this has only been proved in some cases. I will then discuss how some of these extremizers remain stable under perturbations of the underlying Lebesgue measure, by exploring the structure of the associated Helmholtz equation. This is based on a recent joint work with Negro and Oliveira e Silva (https://arxiv.org/abs/2108.03412).

Introduction

The aim of this study was to assess the capacity of Burkina Faso’s health services to care for road accident victims, from the crash site up to their recovery and rehabilitation.

Methods

We performed a situation analysis rooted in the literature findings, an overview of administrative documents, followed by the analysis of pre-hospital, hospital and post-hospital care. We also performed monitoring visits and interviewed a number of stakeholders, aiming to understand the current situation and identify the most important knowledge gaps, required for the development of policy and implementation of the holistic intervention plan.

Results

The study identified numerous and strong deficiencies across the total care of road accident victims management spectrum. The results suggest that a broad-scope intervention is needed, although even smaller-scale effects on elements of total care may yield improvements in specific areas. We also detected a substantial need for more primary studies that can provide relevant data for policy.

Conclusion

This study identified numerous problems, which need to be further explored and quantified, before a more systematic intervention can be applied across the country, aiming to reduce the negative health consequences of road accidents.
The Efficacy of Ultrasound-Guided Bilateral Transversus Abdominal Plane (TAP) Block in Decreasing the Pain After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Authors: Osit Lina May , Gammad Joseph Joven , Flores Olivia C.
Published: October 2021

Introduction: Pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy is complex in nature and several methods are performed to control it. Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block has been used for postoperative pain for some abdominal surgeries. This study was designed to determine the analgesic efficacy of bilateral TAP block for patients undergoing Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. Methods: Forty-two patients were randomized into 2 groups. Group 1 received TAP block using bupivacaine 0.25% (n=21), and group 2 received TAP block using saline. Before extubation, blocks were performed bilaterally. Tramadol IV was given for breakthrough pain for the first 24 hours. Pain scores using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at 0, 1, 2, 4 ,8 ,12, 24 hour-intervals, number of patient demand for Tramadol and patient satisfaction were collected. Results: Patients in the control group have higher VAS scores both during rest and on movement. However, pain was significantly reduced only on the 2nd hour at rest and on the 1st to 4th hours on movement among patients who received Bupivacaine 0.25% on TAP block. Furthermore, there was no significant difference in the requirement for rescue analgesics (p=0.1160) and the satisfaction rate (p=0.2849) between the two groups. Conclusion: TAP block is safe and improved postoperative analgesia in patients receiving laparoscopic cholecystectomy. But its additional analgesic effect in the presence of a dynamic multimodal pain-control regimen is probably rather small and need further investigation in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

本米納哈薩是一個興旺的基督新教地區，在印尼北蘇拉威西省擁有為數不少的穆斯林人口和其他宗教少數族群。它以宗教寬容的宗旨而自豪。然而，由於距離爪哇島（Java Island）這個印尼地緣政治的中心很遠，而且相對於境內的穆斯林人口而言在人數上的遠遠不如；，米納哈桑的基督徒民眾教對印尼國家中心保持著謹慎的態度。探索米納哈桑人的國族概念並請做出研究提問，本項研究參照阿德里安·哈斯廷(Adrian Hasting)的論文，認為宗教和種族乃民族主義的基礎(1997年)。本研究採取質性方法，發現多種族、宗教和獨特的歷史和政治背景是國族建構的決定性因素，也是米納哈桑人對印尼大民族主義的歸屬感。

 

Minahasa is a prosperous Protestant region with a sizeable Muslim population, and other religious minorities in North Sulawesi province in Indonesia. It prides itself as the compass of religious tolerance. However, territorially distant from Java Island, as the center of Indonesian geopolitics, and vastly outnumbered by the majority Muslim population, the Christian Minahasans keep a guarded feeling toward Indonesian national center. Questioning and exploring the notion of nationhood by the Minahasans, this work engage with Adrian Hasting’s thesis in crediting religion and ethnicity to the foundation of nationalism (1997). Applying a qualitative approach, this study found that poly-ethnicity, religion and distinct historical and political background are the determining factors in the construction of nationhood as well as the sense of belonging of Minahasans to the larger Indonesian nationalism.

 
The Iraqi Ba'ath Archives: Collective Memory Loss and Authoritarian Nostalgia in the Post-Saddam Era
Authors: Dorval Amanda Raquel
Published: October 2021

This article analyzes how the seizure of the Ba'ath archives from Iraq after the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003 influenced the country's memory landscape and rise in pro-Ba'ath authoritarian nostalgia (hanin). Literature on the Ba'ath archives has focused on the ethics of their removal, custodianship, and laws governing war archives. However, there has been virtually no literature analyzing the long-term consequences of this removal on Iraqi collective memory or examining Ba'ath nostalgia in a larger dialogue about Iraqi archives. Has the removal of the Ba'ath records distorted Iraq's post-regime memory landscape, and is this a factor in the rise of authoritarian nostalgia? By reviewing existing literature on archives and collective memory, examining instances of Ba'ath nostalgia in Iraq, exploring effects of de-Ba'athification on the education system, and comparing Iraq's situation to South Africa, this article will contemplate the effects of archives loss on Iraqi memory distortion and authoritarian nostalgia.

UK home prices often exhibit only moderate (and sometimes barely positive) correlation across different regions. This reflects segmentation in the national housing market and also provides an apparent opportunity for lenders and investors to diversify their exposure to regional downturns, for instance, by creating residential mortgage backed securities out of geographically dispersed home loans. Unfortunately, in a crisis, correlations may rise, and the benefits from geographical diversification may disappear just when investors desire them the most. By using a flexible generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity technique, we find that regional correlations indeed rose dramatically during the latest downturn, in some cases, to unprecedented levels. Moreover, this increase in co-movement was clearly financial contagion, and not merely interdependence. Lenders, as well as investors in mortgage-backed and other housing securities should thus not rely on house price correlations calculated during ¡§normal¡¨ times.

This paper uses hedonic regression to examine prices in the Christchurch housing market before, and after, the recent severe earthquakes. Prices were relatively stable prior to the earthquakes but increased rapidly thereafter, consistent with the contraction of supply and increased demand from displaced households and a net influx of workers involved in the rebuilding effort. In addition, we find that the use of auctions increased after the earthquakes and that auctioned properties command significantly higher prices as compared to other sales methods, helping to explain the increased interest in this form of price discovery. Results are robust after correcting for potential sample selection bias.

Incineration plants and derelict industrial sites can have a number of adverse effects on the local environment and social welfare, including the diminution of property values. Although there are many incineration plants in China, there has been relatively little research done to quantify their negative externality effects. This study therefore considers the effects of three municipal incineration plants in Hangzhou city on residential property values. Hedonic pricing modeling of 2,200 residential transactions in over 70 multifamily buildings within ten kilometers of the incineration plants over a one year period including 2014 and 2015 is carried out. Generally, the results show that the neighboring properties show decreases in the initial listing price of up to 25%, declining until the effect is gone about three kilometers from the incinerator. The most consistent losses are approximately 10% between 1-2 kilometers from the nearest incinerator. These results are comparable to similar situations in the United States and Canada.

This paper develops a pricing model and derives a closed-form formula for valuing mortgage-backed securities (MBSs) that embed a barrier option feature while the optimal prepayment or refinancing choices of borrowers are endogenously determined. Given that ¡§real estate investors¡¨ tend to prepay a loan relentlessly, an MBS with a high concentration of investor borrowers implies a lower MBS value. We specify the prepayment behavior of borrowers by using the first hitting time as a proxy for the trigger point of prepayment when house prices or interest rates hit a pre-determined barrier. Our results show that the MBS value is positively related to loan to value and house price volatility while negatively related to the proportion of real estate investors and interest rate volatility. We also find evidence which shows that the MBS value may increase due to the effects of the ¡§longevity¡¨ of mortgages, which outweigh the effects of default or prepayment as house price volatility increases. This model provides a faster pricing tool of MBSs than Monte Carlo simulation while retaining higher model accuracy and consistency than the hazard model approach.

Securitization provides borrowers with access to capital markets, most notably as an alternative to bank lending. However, it has also used complicated structures in order to attract investors. Complicated structures can provide, and have provided, vehicles for hiding risk and inducing moral hazard, which were at the center of the Great Crash. This paper provides descriptions of structures and increasing complexity over time. It suggests where moral hazard would have been expected to show up, empirically, and provides some evidence of moral hazard based on the timing of the changes in the structures.

Housing affordability for many Singaporean households has been declining since the 1990s. While eligible households are directly allocated new-built public housing at subsidized rates, these rates reflect price behavior in the laissez faire resale market and would be higher during periods of excess demand. We examine two policy initiatives since 2011 to improve housing affordability for targeted population segments. First, the government has stabilized the prices at which it sells new- built units by increasing supply-side producer discounts to moderate the extent to which new unit prices track the resale market. Second, demand subsidies are provided to low- and middle-income households to buy new subsidized housing. Price stabilization has prevented the transmission of demand shocks from the resale market to the new-built public housing sector but not improved affordability. However, successive calibrations of capital grants boosted the price to income ratio and debt servicing ratio indicators for households with incomes below the national median. These improvements are progressive, with the less well-off benefitting the most. Furthermore, the grants do not appear to induce housing overconsumption the way that demand subsidies are prone to do so and provide some assurance that the policies adopted in Singapore have not generated allocative inefficiencies.

Most existing studies on the behavior of real estate appraisers focus on the issues around the independence of the appraiser. This study uses a questionnaire to measure the objectivity of real estate appraisers which involves six indicators related to the appraisal process, and divides the factors that affect the objectivity of real estate appraisers in Taiwan into four categories, namely, the opinion of the appraiser regarding the future development of the real estate appraisal industry, current real estate appraisal approaches and behavior of other appraisers, and the characteristics of real estate appraisers and their firms. The empirical results reveal that the income of appraisers relative to other professionals and public opinion in relation to the fairness of real estate appraisers are the two most important factors that affect the objectivity of real estate appraisers. Furthermore, the work experience of the appraiser, total revenue of the real estate appraisal firm, and independence of the final appraisal result all significantly and positively affect the objectivity of the real estate appraisers, and the awareness of a lack of appraisers in the market significantly and negatively affects their objectivity. These findings are helpful to the healthy development of real estate appraisal and its related industries.
Zoometría de dos poblaciones de ganado Criollo de Venezuela

En Venezuela, el ganado criollo, introducido por los colonizadores, fue criado bajo condiciones diversas y, con diferentes propósitos. Ello indujo la formación de dos líneas: el Criollo Llanero (CrLl), mantenido bajo condiciones de sábana, prácticamente desaparecido; y el Criollo Río Limón (CrRL) conservado en el noroeste delestado Zulia, en peligro de extinción. El “Proyecto Cooperativo MAC ­ UCV en la Estación Experimental de Los Llanos” incluyó CrRL en cría pura y cruzamiento, así como CrLl en apareamiento de absorción. Cincuenta vacas CrRL de fundación y 50 vacas CrLl compradas en el Llano fueron el sujeto de este trabajo con el objetivo de describirlas morfológicamente y compararlas mediante análisis estadístico. Se eliminaron observaciones debido al temperamento que impidió tomar algunas medidas; concluyendo 46 CrRL y 43 CrLl. Se aplicó la prueba F para distinguir las diferencias entre líneas de cada medida. Línea resultó significativo (p < 0.05) o altamente significativo (p < 0.01) para 21 de 24 variables. CrRL superó a CrLl en las dimensiones relevantes. El Peso en CrRL fue 20 %mayor que en CrLl (p < 0.01). En las demás dimensiones, la ventaja osciló entre 3 y 8 %, a favor de CrRL. Las correlaciones entre variables relevantes resultaron positivas y significativas (p < 0.01), siempre mayores en CrRL. Las pocas correlaciones de signo negativo resultaron no significativas (p >0.05). Cincuenta años después de realizadas las observaciones reportadas, el tiempo alteró la justificación; y de generar información básica, hoy surelevancia radica en la valoración del germoplasma autóctono y su contribución a la variabilidad genética necesaria para acoplar genotipos específicos asistemas de cría particulares ycondiciones ambientales alteradas. La declinación de estas poblaciones reportada en la literatura evidencia que podría ser tarde para recomendar su conservación y valoración y que las iniciativas para la preservación y aprovechamiento de ambas poblaciones han resultado insuficientes e inefectivas.

Based on statistical data analysis, the indicators in this study are valid and reliable. The individual order of each variable with the most influence is the product quality variable with a regression coefficient of 0.453 then the price variable with a regression coefficient of 0.339. Obtained t count variable product quality (X1) of 2.658> 2.011 and variable price (X2) obtained at 2.905> 2.011. This means that t is greater than t table, then H_0 is rejected and H1 is accepted. Obtained an F calculated value of 7.009> 3.20 so that it can be ignored that there is a simultaneous (joint) influence between product quality (X1) and price (X2) on buying interest (Y) of surfing rice. Analysis of the coefficient of determination of 23% means that there is a very weak relationship between the independent variables and the related variables and the rest is 77%. By other factors that are not discussed in this study.

Minat belajar seorang anak bertumbuh di mulai dari orang tua dan keluarga. Karena orang tua dan keluarga adalah lingkungan yang pertama dalam mempengaruhi dan membiasakan anak-anak dalam hal belajar, karena segala pengetahuan dan kecerdasan intelektual manusia diperoleh pertama-tama dari orang tua dan keluarga. Dalam menumbuhkan minat belajar anak, orang tua adalah pendidik utama yang terus menerus dengan berbagi cara untuk merangsang anak agar anak tetap memiliki gairah dalam belajar. Hal itu dilakukan oleh orang tua dengan tetap mempertahankan motivasi belajar anak di mulai sejak anak lahir sampai masa Sekolah Menegah Atas dan sesudahnya. Namun dalam berbagai upaya yang dilakukan untuk membangkitkan minat belajar anak, orang tua sendiri haruslah memberikan contoh dan teladan dalam hal belajar sehingga bisa menjadi model yang bisa ditiru dan dilakukan oleh anak-anak. Beberapa upaya yang dilakukan dalam menumbuhkan minat belajar anak adalah; membangkitkan motivasi belajar dalam diri anak, menciptakan lingkungan fisik yang nyaman, menyediakan fasilitas belajar yang memadai, mendampingi anak dalam belajar, membangun kerjsama dengan guru di sekolah.

The recommendation for first-line therapy for hypertension remains a beta blocker or diuretic given in a low dosage. A target blood pressure of less than 140/90 mm Hg is achieved in about 50 percent of patients treated with monotherapy; two or more agents from different pharmacological classes are often needed to achieve adequate blood pressure control. Single-dose combination antihypertension therapyis an important option that combines efficacy of blood pressure reduction and a low side effect profilewith convenient once-daily dosing to enhance compliance. Combination antihypertensives include combined agents from the following pharmacological classes: diuretics and potassium-sparing diuretics,beta blockers and diuretics, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and diuretics, angiotensin-II antagonists and diuretics and calcium channel blockers and ACE inhibitors.
