Authors: zaigui wu , minyue Dong
Published: November 2019

Background: Leiomyomas are the most common pelvic tumors in fertile women and rare conditions of them have extrauterine locations. Ovarian Leiomyoma accounts only for 0.5 to 1% of all benign ovarian tumors with fewer than 60 cases reported in a manner of case report. Here we present a series of eight patients over a six-year period(2012-2018). The clinico-pathological features, diagnosis and management were discussed.
Case presentation: We had experienced eight cases of ovarian leiomyoma.The clinical features,pathologic findings,diagnosis, treatment were reviewed. The mean age of these patients was 38.5 years. The majority of these patients may be asymptomatic and usually diagnosed incidentally during pelvic examination or pathologic examination after surgery. Six cases presented only with pelvic mass sized from 2 to 20 cm and even some patients persisted for more than twenty years while the other two were diagnosed due to four years of primary infertile or three months of irregular vagina bleeding. Three patients coincident with uterine leiomyoma while the others not. Three had ovarian leiomyoma degenerated and one case had a evidence of atypical 4/10.
Conclusions : ovarian leiomyoma was very rare but it should be considered in the diagnosis of pelvic or ovarian solid masses. Magnetic resonance imaging was provital in its different diagnose while fast frozen pathology during operation was very necessary for its surgical decision. A proper surgical decision should be made according to patients age.

Published: November 2019

Background: To establish an analytical method for studying intervertebral disc metabolomics based on gas chromatography/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC/TOF-MS). Methods: To establish a rabbit model of intervertebral disc degeneration, the intervertebral discs of six New Zealand white rabbits were punctured. GC/TOF-MS was applied to analyze degenerated discs of the six model group animals and six similar New Zealand white rabbits considered as the control group. Pattern recognition and nonparametric test analyses were utilized to evaluate the data as well as screen for and identify significant biomarkers. Metabolites and metabolic pathways relevant to associated pathological processes were studied. Results: We established a rabbit model of intervertebral disc degeneration and an orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) disease-distinguishing model of intervertebral disc degeneration for contrast against the typical physiological state of intervertebral discs. Expression of six metabolites in degenerated and normal intervertebral discs of New Zealand white rabbits was evaluated. Levels of four metabolites expressed in the model group were significantly higher than in the control group, while two other metabolites were expressed at significantly lower levels in the model group as compared to the control group. Conclusions: This paper demonstrates that metabolic profiling of both degenerated and normal intervertebral rabbit discs is a feasible method of metabolomic analysis. Via in-depth filtering of characteristic metabolites, we found a high correlation between metabolic variations and intervertebral disc degeneration. Further studies on endogenous metabolites and pathways involved in intervertebral disc degeneration will provide a better understanding of associated molecular mechanisms and lay foundations for effective clinical treatment.
Innovations in the management of tax gaps in the economy: foreign economic component
Authors: Tiutiunyk Inna , Kobushko Ihor , Ivaniy Oleksandr , Flaumer Anna
Published: November 2019

This article summarizes the arguments and counter-arguments within the framework of scientific discussion on the estimation of the volume of tax gaps in the economy in the context of the foreign economic activity of the country as one of the tools for minimizing tax liabilities. Systematizing these scientific developments on the definite problem has shown that among scientists there is no consensus on the role of tax gaps in the economy and their interrelation with foreign economic activity of the country, which significantly updates the need for further empirical research in this area, aimed at determining the volume of tax gaps by the export-import activity and their influence on indicators of economic development of the country. The research is based on the use of the modified Grubel-Lloyd formula (which allows determining the index of asynchronous export-import activity in the retrospective dynamics) and indicators of the level of asynchronous export-import activity by the partner countries. The study subject is the countries with the highest (Georgia), medium (Turkey, Cyprus, Solomon Islands) and the lowest (Japan, Austria, United States) levels of economy shadowing, which allows taking a more thorough and objective decision on the effect of asynchronous export and import activity on the volume of tax gaps in the economy, and its dependence on the level of shadowing in the country for 2013-2017. The paper presents the results of the empirical analysis of the volume gap of foreign economic activity on the example of Ukraine and its trading partners, which has shown that the highest index of asynchrony is peculiar to countries with average levels of shadowing – Cyprus, Solomon Islands, and the lowest – with the participation of countries with low level of shadowing. At the same time, it has been determined that one of the highest asynchronous indexes is observed with the participation of offshore countries. The study empirically confirms and theoretically proves that the foreign economic component plays a significant role in the processes of economic development of the country, and the number of hidden tax payments, due to these transactions, occupy about 1% of the country's GDP (gross domestic product). The results of the research may be useful for the relevant executive
authorities in developing measures to prevent income shadowing in the context of export-import operations.
Amounts and Types of Epicuticular Leaf Waxes among Onion Accessions Selected for Reduced Damage by Onion Thrips
Authors: Munaiz Eduardo D. , Groves Russell L. , Havey Michael J.
Published: November 2019

Onion thrips (Thrips tabaci) is the main insect pest of onion (Allium cepa), and feeding damage routinely causes serious yield losses. Lower amounts of epicuticular waxes on onion leaves have been associated with fewer onion thrips and less feeding damage, and research is needed to assess the relationships between amounts and composition of epicuticular waxes and feeding damage by onion thrips. This study used gas chromatography mass spectroscopy to determine amounts and types of epicuticular waxes on the foliage of onion accessions that had been field-selected for lower damage from onion thrips. Hentriacontanone-16 (H16), octaconasol-1, and triacontanol-1 were the most prevalent waxes on the foliage of these selections. Amounts of H16 were significantly lower on selections visually classified as having glossy or semiglossy foliage. Semiglossy selections were identified with similar amounts of total epicuticular wax as waxy phenotypes, due primarily to lower amounts of H16 and higher amounts of other waxes. These semiglossy selections suffered significantly less feeding damage from onion thrips in a field evaluation, supporting the identification of unique wax profiles toward the development of thrips-resistant onion.

We have demonstrated the intrinsic capability of melanin to transform light into chemical energy. Melanin achieves this by dissociating water molecules, similar to the action of chlorophyll. This unforeseen ability of the human body to produce metabolic energy from light modifies fundamental concepts of biochemistry. The long-accepted concept is that glucose has a unique dual role as an energy source and as the main source of carbon chains that are precursors of all organic matter. The capability of melanin to produce energy challenges this premise. The prevalent biochemical concept, therefore, needs to be adjusted to incorporate a newly discovered state of Nature based on melanin’s ability to dissociate water to produce energy and to re-form water from molecular hydrogen and oxygen. Recently we reported our findings regarding the potential implication of QIAPI-1 as a melanin precursor that has bioenergetics capabilities. Specifically, we reported its promising application as a means for treating retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). This review report focuses on the long-term treatment medical effects of melanin in treating ROP.
RECONSTRUCTION OF TEACHER’S IDENTITY: A SOCIO-ANTHROPOLOGICAL STUDY OF THE JAVANESE SOCIETY
Authors: Shodiq Sadam Fajar , Syamsudin Syamsudin
Published: November 2019

Teachers, according to the Javanese’s views, are those having a respectable position because they become the reference and role model for the Javanese. A teacher is considerably responsible for all students’ behaviors, both in and outside the classroom. In this digital era, this condition has shifted due to the occurrence of socio-anthropological changes in society. Although teachers’ identity shifts, they are still crucial in transferring values during the learning process. This study aimed to comprehensively find out how the reconstruction of teacher’s identity was carried out in socio-anthropologically changing situations among the Javanese, derived from 30 respondents. Qualitative research was then used in this study using the ethnographic method, and the subject of the research was Javanese. Data collection was performed through interviews using a purposive selection of respondents. Analysis techniques comprised of data collection, data selection, data presentation, and conclusion. As a result, it was found that, in the context of the Javanese, socio-anthropology in modern technology had affected the meaning of the teacher’s identity. Although the Javanese considered teachers as an ordinary profession and had the same level with other professions, the Javanese still held that teacher was an honorable profession and it deserved to be appreciated since the presence of a teacher could improve students’ knowledge.

Authors: Apreza Salgado Socorro
Published: November 2019

El presente artículo tiene como hipótesis que el diseño normativo del derecho de acceso a la información de los pueblos y comunidades indígenas, a cuatro años cinco meses de la promulgación de la Ley General de Transparencia y Acceso a la Información Pública y a tres años cinco meses de la publicación de sus leyes estatales, tiene restricciones que cuestionan su protección plena. Para comprobar esto, se abordará un marco conceptual que es la base de la investigación; luego se examinarán los antecedentes nacionales e internacionales, para después revisar si el marco normativo remueve los obstáculos o simula el disfrute del derecho humano de acceso a la información de los pueblos indígenas.

Una aproximación hacia los patrones pedagógicos orientados hacia didácticas en computación
Authors: Insuasti Portilla Jesús
Published: November 2019

Dentro de la búsqueda constante de prácticas apropiadas para la enseñanza de los cursos de ciencias de la computación, un trabajo de investigación fue realizado a fin de construir una didáctica específica al curso de diseño de software donde fueron consultadas 19 universidades (15 internacionales de Estados Unidos y Europa; y 4 nacionales) en el mundo. Los profesores a cargo del curso de diseño de software de dichas universidades realizaron aportes en ocho dimensiones que fueron formuladas dentro de tal investigación. Con estos valiosos aportes, se logró determinar un conjunto de elementos comunes –sin importar las diferencias culturales– de prácticas que fueron destacadas como exitosas desde la perspectiva de los docentes. El “producto” final de la mencionada investigación ha generado un marco teórico de trabajo sobre los lineamientos generales en la formulación de didácticas en computación. Sin embargo, la didáctica propuesta no ha sido probada en escenarios reales hasta ahora. Dada esta situación, el presente artículo de reflexión pretende explorar los escenarios reales donde dichas prácticas de enseñanza sean factibles de llevar a cabo. Para tal menester, un concepto relativamente nuevo se introduce a fin de llevar a la práctica los resultados de la investigación en cuestión; este concepto se refiere a los patrones pedagógicos

“La escuela teledirigida o educación 2.0. Una reflexión en contra del rebaño digital” es el resultado de una investigación minuciosa centrada alrededor de la órbita del fenómeno posmoderno y su aliado estratégico, conocido con el nombre de “era de la información”. En este orden de ideas, y amparados bajo el insumo de la pedagogía crítica, se pretenden evidenciar los objetos de seducción y demanda que maquinan al interior de la anatomía y arquitectura educativa postmoderna; parcialidad Colombia, empeñada actualmente en alienar, desmantelar y configurar la subjetividad de docentes y estudiantes desde influjos contraculturales cargados de hibridación cultural, imperio efímero de la moda, cultura digital y capitalismo cognitivo. En consecuencia, se espera armar un plan de contingencia capaz de contrarrestar los señuelos ideológicos que han penetrado con fuerza en la urdimbre educativa, a tal punto de inaugurar nuevas lógicas de poder, empotradas en la arista de la era de la información, quien amenaza con reducir sistemáticamente a los establecimientos educativos latinoamericanos a la mera consideración de pequeños relatos de naturaleza líquida y flotante, condenados a una potencial vía de extinción. Orientadas bajo la brújula de la metamorfosis educativa, se pretende, finalmente, dar respuesta al malestar digital presente, así como preparar a la comunidad educativa para contrarrestar su intensidad y transformar la realidad social de los contextos vulnerables a su accionar.

Personal Manuscript Acceptance Rates: Metrics for Self-assessment in Scholarship
Authors: Slattengren Andrew H. , Finstad Deborah , Pitt Michael B.
Published: November 2019

Introduction: There is no established baseline for how frequently clinical researchers personally encounter manuscript rejection, making it difficult for faculty to put their own evolving experience in context. The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of obtaining personal acceptance per submission (APS) and acceptance per manuscript (APM) rates for individual faculty members.
Methods: We performed a cross-section survey pilot study of clinical faculty members of two departments (family medicine and pediatrics), in one academic health center in the academic year 2017-2018. The survey asked participants to report the number of attempted submissions required per journal article they have had accepted in the prior 2 years as well as any submissions that did not lead to publication.
Results: Sixty-eight of 136 eligible faculty (50%) completed the questionnaire. Academic clinicians in the sample eventually published 80% of the manuscripts submitted, with 39% of papers rejected per submission attempt. Associate professors had the highest APS (0.71) and APM (0.88).
Conclusions: In this pilot, we demonstrated the feasibility of retrospectively collecting data that could identify baseline manuscript acceptance rates and were able to generate department averages and rank specific averages for manuscript acceptance and rejection. We confirmed that rejection is common among academic clinicians. The APS and APM can be used by academic clinicians to track their own progress from day one of their publishing careers as a method of self-assessment, rather than having to wait for citations to accumulate.

So we can hear the western song and learn listening english easily. Teaching listening is teaching students to learn to listen to languages and conversations using the ear. The reason for students being able to listen to spoken English is by letting them listen to variations and accents rather than just the teachers voice with its own idiosyncrasies. Listening is a very important skill in language learning and can’t be underestimated especially in an academic context and is separated in language so that listening has an important role in teaching the language including teaching English. The purpose of this study is to find out how English teacher use TOEIC applications in listening to students and how students respond to the use of TOEIC applications in student listening. Most students argue that the hardest is listening, and some of them even have difficulties in understanding the teachers who are teaching English. It states that students still have difficulty in listening and become one of the obstacles in learning English. The used of media as a tool or means in teaching and learning English that is very useful for students and teachers.
