Authors: Kim Do-Eui , Lee Sin-Bok
Published: June 2023

Employee management is crucial in the service industry, and efficient human resource management is essential because the competence and competitiveness of employees directly impact service quality. This study analyzes the impact of emotional labor and job stress faced by workers in the service industry on their intention to leave and be hired, and proposes strategies for employee retention. As a result of a study conducted on 200 service industry workers, it was confirmed that job autonomy and job culture have a quantitative interaction with emotional labor factors and a positive correlation with the intention to leave. Additionally, this study suggests that Employment the intention to hire and the intention to turnover as separate concepts, rather than conflicting, requires a separate study.

Authors: Lim Myung-Jae , Kim Young-Chae , Kim Jeong-Eun , Kim Kyu-Ho , Chung Dong-Keun
Published: June 2023

The method of removing the existing Impulse noise was to find the threshold and apply the median filter to remove the noise. In this paper, we try to find reference values in neural networks. In order to find noise, we used a non-local method to consider not only the information of the region but also the entire region. We then utilized Yolo's grid cell structure to make stronger predictions considering various sizes and different areas. Accordingly, qualitative and quantitative evaluation results show better performance than conventional median filters.

Authors: Flores Grace T , Obod Shelou P
Published: June 2023

This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of instructional materials used for Indigenous Peoples (IP) learners in the Division of Butuan City during distance learning. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research incorporated both quantitative and qualitative methods. Correlation analyses were utilized to determine significant associations between variables, while teachers' profiles and the integration of Indigenous Knowledge Systems and Practices (IKSPs) were described using frequency tables and weighted means. The findings indicated that many teachers in IP schools were newly hired, with few pursuing graduate studies, and most of them were non-IPs. Their level of cultural literacy, based on relevant training programs, was moderate, with a few teachers considered experts who could contribute to future capacity-building efforts. IP learners generally had positive learning experiences when teachers incorporated indigenized big books, Weekly Learning Activity Sheets, and indigenized lesson plans. However, there were no significant relationships found between the grade level taught and the frequency of integrating IKSPs or the use of Weekly Learning Activity Sheets and Indigenized Lesson Plans. Nonetheless, a significant relationship was observed between the use of big books and the grade level taught. The study also found a significant relationship between the educational attainment of teachers in IP schools and the integration of IKSPs, with a moderate strength of association. Cultural literacy among teachers had a highly significant but moderate positive correlation with learning outcomes and the interface of IKSPs. These findings serve as a foundation for developing Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programs that enhance instructional materials for IP learners while promoting cultural literacy.

Published: June 2023

The purpose of the work is to present a solution that will significantly contribute to the technological development of the European defense sector. The proposed solution raises the issue of controlling autonomous vehicles. This paper presents the concept of an algorithm that allows for automatic take-off of unmanned aircraft. Arguments are presented which justify the need for developing and applying such a system. The socioeconomic and environmental aspects of the project are also discussed. The automatic take-off algorithm complements existing aircraft flight control systems. The considered solution takes into account take-off as a maneuver made of three phases. The control on a runway is possible due to data fusion from the INS and GNSS systems. Data fusion may be supported by using the runway image processing system. The concept of an automatic take-off algorithm is presented along with the most appropriate testing methods, including software-in-the-loop and hardware-in-the-loop simulations.
A systemic model of presidential power: tracing presidential power research, 1940–1984
Authors: B Hoff Samuel
Published: June 2023

Much research on the American political system has focused on presidential power. Yet, there remains a debate over how much constitutional features, political factors, and presidential personality impact actions and how they are perceived. This paper examines 55 studies of presidential power over six different periods between 1940 and 1984, finding that those studies which evaluated chief executives on a positive-negative scale were equally split. The current study bridges the gap in the literature by proposing a comprehensive systemic model of presidential power, in which primary and mediating factors along with responses can be tapped to predict resultant use of power. It likewise offers a plethora of ways to measure various sources of presidential influence.

Authors: Oliveira Rabelo Amanda , da Silva Cassimiro Ana Carla Souza
Published: June 2023

Continuing education should be seen as a process that brings benefits to the teacher, contributing positively to the educational practice. Thinking about this issue, this article sought, through the application of a questionnaire for teachers of the Early Childhood Education modality (Pre I and Pre II) in the municipality of Santo Antônio de Pádua-RJ, Brazil, to investigate the teaching participation in training or updating courses, in addition to demonstrate the importance that the constant process of formation represents for the teaching work, where the teachers could express the importance that the continuous formation provides or has already provided in their work as a teacher. Continuing education should be seen as a way for teachers to reinvent their practice and contribute to the teaching of students, where teachers can review their concepts and evaluate their practice, building and forming new ideas that can help in their work. In view of the teachers' statements, we conclude the need for a constant training process, as a way for the teacher to reinvent their work and contribute to their personal growth, in the face of the various changes that we undergo daily and that impact the teaching and learning of students.

Published: June 2023

The aim of this study was to reduce the prevalence of mastitis by introduction of effective anti-mastitis measures in a herd of 125 dairy cows. The effectiveness of the relevant measures was monitored by six examinations conducted in two-month intervals during the one-year period. A reduction in the prevalence of mastitis was recorded from 53.6% to 22.9%, i.e. by 26.0%. The prevalence of Staphylococcus spp. as the most frequently isolated pathogens of the mammary gland in the examined samples gradually reduced from 33.4% to 18.4%, 14.1%, 10.0%, 7.6%, and 8.1%. In contrast to the dynamics of mastitis, the monthly fluctuations in the values of somatic cell count (SCC) and total bacterial count (TBC) in bulk tank milk samples were irregular. However, a declining dynamics of SCC and TBC was evident during the last three samplings which reflected a reduction in the counts of udder pathogens after the treatment and introduction of mastitis suppression procedures.

Published: June 2023

The utilization of renewable sources of energy is of significant interest today. This is particularly the case due to the growing interest in addressing global warming, carbon footprint and the associated challenges for the environment. In this context, the enhanced use of solar panels is relevant and timely. With a view to understand and appreciate the fundamentals of the workings of the solar panels and the influence of the outdoor weather-related parameters on their operational characteristics, a study is presented in this paper. A detailed procedure for performance measurement of PV modules in outdoor conditions is reported. Improvement in the precision of outdoor performance measurements of photovoltaic (PV) modules is investigated for a wide range of outdoor conditions. A comparative performance evaluation of the currently available PV modules under the influence of humidity, irradiance and particle radiation is presented. PV parameters show strong dependence on these outdoor conditions. The instability in solar cell modules when reacting with water or under high humidity inhibits the high performance of solar cell modules. Irradiation results depict that the silicon-based PV modules show a decreasing trend of power conversion efficiency with increasing solar irradiance. The efficiency increases with increased solar irradiance for CdTe, GaAs and CIGS solar cells in the irradiance range of 200 to 1000 W•m-2. Tandem and multi-junction solar cells exhibit a high-power conversion efficiency when the solar irradiance increases from 0 - 70 suns. Perovskite solar cells have better particle radiation tolerance than silicon, III-V and CIGS solar cells. The shading problem is discussed briefly for solar cell modules. This study is aimed to provide valuable and comparable information on the degradation performance of solar cells as function of humidity, irradiance and particle radiation, and serves as the basis for future development.

Authors: Oliveira Gomes Isabella do Nascimento , e Silva Andreara de Almeida
Published: June 2023

Introduction: Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a condition in which the bearer can present a wide range of behavioral signs, varying according to the degree of impairment in social behavior, communication and language. The first signs of this condition usually appear during the first five years of life. Although some people with ASD are able to live independently, others already need a series of care, support and psychosocial interventions throughout their lives. Objective: To survey the performance of nurses in the face of different procedures in autistic children in health units. Identify the main causes of crises and difficulties in nursing care for autistic children. Raise nursing intervention solutions and strategies to avoid crises in autistic children. Methodology: This is an integrative literature review carried out by crossing the descriptors: Autistic Spectrum Disorder; Pediatrics; Nursing. The databases were: LILACS, BIREME, Web of Science and the SciELO electronic library, with the search for articles carried out between August and November 2021. The search resulted in 28 articles, of which 12 were excluded, making a final total of 16 articles. Results and discussion: Among the main characteristics of the nurse's performance, the exact description of the procedure to be performed on the patient stands out, as well as the complete explanation of all the steps of the procedure, aiming to avoid crises due to the child's surprise during the procedure. of the procedure. Among the main crises in autistic children, the following were raised as the main causes: pain, noise, surprise and the melt-down, the name given to a multisensory crisis, caused by several stimuli directed at these children at the same time. As the main solution to avoid crises, the use of Social Stories was found, which are animated conventions in book or video format, whose objective is to explain in detail to the child what sensations he will have during the performance of a certain procedure and the step by step of the process. itself, avoiding surprises during its realization. Conclusion: Through this review, it was possible to conclude that Social Stories are the main key to carrying out nursing procedures in autistic children, reducing crises and facilitating nursing care, in addition to avoiding future problems, such as refusal of assistance or the so-called “White Coat Syndrome”, whose cause is linked to trauma in childhood. The importance of training and expertise of nurses in this area is highlighted, as diagnoses of autism increase day by day.
Lived experiences of first-time mothers with exclusive breastfeeding in Kafue, Zambia
Authors: Liseli Mundia Muyunda , Victoria Kalusopa
Published: June 2023

Introduction: Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) has economic and many health benefits, including reduced adult obesity and incidence of childhood and non-communicable diseases. However, negative experiences with breastfeeding the first baby significantly impact the success of EBF, particularly with first-time mothers who report having had challenges failing to practice EBF with subsequent babies. Purpose: This study aimed to explore the lived experiences of first-time mothers with EBF in Kafue, Zambia. Material and methods: A qualitative, interpretive phenomenological study, with a non-probability, purposive sample size of 25 first-time mothers within the first six months postpartum was conducted. Face-to-face interviews with a core question followed with prompts to ascertain respondents’ interpretations to the core question were carried out. Transcript content analysis of the data was then done with text information assigned descriptive codes and categorised according to emerging themes using thematic analysis as described by Maguire & Delahunt.1 Results: Three major themes emerged; “Challenges initiating and continuing breastfeeding”, “Psychological aspects of EBF practice in relation to coping” and “Inadequate support networks/mechanisms”. First-time mothers experienced diverse challenges with EBF and information received from healthcare providers did not prepare or help them adequately. Practical support was received from nurses and midwives, however only in the first six weeks postpartum. In some instances, support was either not given or it was not supportive of EBF. Conclusion: Given their inexperience, first-time mothers experience EBF challenges that are difficult to deal with leading to very negative effects on their perceptions of EBF thus negatively affecting EBF practices. Without adequate and appropriate practical support in the perinatal period, they are most likely not to EBF successfully. Teaching on danger signs of breastfeeding complications and incorporating breastfeeding clinics in the Maternal and Child Health Departments could be utilised as strategies to help them sustain successful EBF practices.
Religious paintings as liturgical images in the oeuvre of Henryk Siemiradzki
Authors:   The Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design in Wroclaw, Nitka Maria
Published: June 2023

The 19 th century was a time when, as noted by Michael Thimann, there occurred a transition of painting from the sphere of worship to the space of art. The parting of the paths of art and the sacred sphere also affected a genre as important for connecting these spheres as altar painting. The present paper discusses Henryk Siemiradzki’s altar paintings, which constitute this outstanding academic artist’s attempts to place painting intended for worship in churches. Siemiradzki created several altar paintings: starting with a copy of "Christ on the Cross" by Johann Köler (1867), then his own version of this theme for the chapel of Our Lady of the Rosary in his hometown Kharkiv (1871), then "Zmartwychwstanie [Resurrection]" (1878) for the Church of All Saints in Grzybów in Warsaw, and above all large altarpieces: "Chrystus uciszający burzę [Christ Calming the Storm]" (1882) for the Evangelical church in Krakow and "Wniebowstąpienie [The Ascension]" (1891) for the Church of the Resurrectionists in Rome in via San Sebastianello. The paper is an attempt to reveal the relationship between the form, the content and the sacred function of these images. The analysis focuses primarily on "Chrystus uciszający burzę [Christ Calming the Storm]" and "Wniebowstąpienie [The Ascension]", in which the artist faced the canon of the altar painting genre in the most complete way. The iconography of these works, their connections with the centuries-old visual tradition of Christianity, and finally the semantics of the composition are analysed, looking for a theological understanding of the depicted events. It has been shown that the commissions discussed are in line with the format and function of the genre of altar painting, and at the same time they are the fruit of Siemiradzki’s profound reflection on the role of the sacred image in the liturgy, in the interior, and above all in the theological discourse that was supposed to affect the hearts, minds and souls of the faithful. It is emphasized that in the commissions undertaken, the artist was able to respond to the requirements of various confessions, by painting pictures that corresponded to the mission and expectations of a Catholic parish, a religious order or a Protestant community. Siemiradzki’s works are therefore presented as an example of an academic artist’s reflection and his search for solutions concerning the meaning of altar paintings in the multidimensional sacred space, as inscribed into the centuries-old dialogue between the sacred sphere and art within this genre.
“Inner light” Stained glass in contemporary French sacred art – an overview
Authors:   Polish Institute of World Art Studies, Kluczewska-Wójcik Agnieszka
Published: June 2023

In the 1920s, a movement of revival of sacred art began in France, which also included stained glass. Its revival was associated with a departure from the illusionistic character of stained glass of the 19 th century and a reference to monumentalism and the spiritual tradition of the Middle Ages. The search for a new concept of stained glass, both in its ideological and technological aspects, resulted in the creation of “artists’ stained glass” (vitraux d’artistes), realised from the middle of the 20 th century on official commissions, thanks to the cooperation of ecclesiastical institutions and state authorities, which acquired a firm legal and financial basis in the 1980s. The stages of this evolution were marked by stained glass ensembles designed by the masters of the post-war avant-garde: G. Rouault and J. Bazaine in Notre Dame de Toute Grâce on the plateau Assy (1937–1946); H. Matisse for Notre Dame du Rosaire in Vence (1940); A. Manessier in Saint Michel in Les Bréseux with the first abstract stained-glass windows (1948); F. Léger, J. Bazaine and J. Le Moal in the interior of Sacré-Coeur in Audincourt, (1949–1951); Le Corbusier in Notre Dame in Ronchamp (1951–1955) and the modern stained glass of J. Villon, R. Bissière and M. Chagall, which was introduced for the first time to a world-class monument of architecture, the Cathedral of Saint-Étienne in Metz (1955). The restoration of the Cathedral of Saint-Cyr et Sainte-Julitte in Nevers provided an opportunity for representatives of the younger generation: R. Ubac, C. Viallat, J.M. Alberola, G. Honegger and F. Rouan (1973–2011), to showcase their vision of stained glass painting. With the exception of Alberola, all were associated with the non-figurative trends that had been developing since the 1950s. The same trend referring to the Cistercian tradition included the outstanding realisations of J.P. Raynaud in Noirlac (1975–1977), P. Soulages in Conques (1986), J. Ricardon in Acey (1991–1994) and A. Nemours, a representative of the Art Concret movement, at Salagon (1998). The return to figuration found a continuation in the projects of G. Garouste for Notre Dame de Talant (1996–1997), C. Benzaken for Saint-Sulpice in Varennes-Jarcy (1991–2007), M. Raysse, associated with the Nouveau Réalisme movement, for Notre-Dame de l’Arche d’Alliance in Paris (1986–1998) and G. Collin-Thiébaut for Saint Gatien in Tours (2010–2013). The creators of vitraux d’artistes accepted the prescribed programmatic framework without giving up their freedom of choice in means of expression and aesthetic conventions. Thanks to the research and creativity of the artists – the introduction of innovative technological processes or a new interpretation of traditional materials and craft methods – but also the courage of the ecclesiastical and, above all, state commissioners, French stained glass has fully integrated itself into the evolution of contemporary visual expression.

Published: June 2023

BACKGROUND: The accuracy of prediction of towing properties is related to selection of the analytical dependency for assessment of slipping in the process of development or modernization of agricultural tractor in order to define the correct configuration of a machine-tractor unit. The relevance of the study lies in justification of the dependency describing slipping of wheels of modern high-powered 4K4b tractors and needed for study of tractors towing properties.
AIMS: Justification of the analytical formula of slipping for better accuracy of towing properties prediction at development stages and modernization of 4K4b tractors and units conjugated to them.
METHODS: Known analytical dependencies of slipping were analyzed in the study in order to compare the theoretical assessment results with the results of field-testing at harvest field carried out at machine testing stations according to common method. The theoretical and experimental results were obtained for the Kirovets K-7 series agricultural wheeled tractors. The experimental data of the Kirovets K-7 series tractors was approximated in order to find new dependencies for analytical determination of slipping at harvest field. The approximation coefficient was taken as the criterion for assessment of accuracy of experimental data description by the dependencies.
RESULTS: Among the considered analytical dependencies for prediction of slipping coefficient value, the equations which describe the experimental data of towing testing of the Kirovets K-7 series tractors the most satisfactorily were outlined. Based on approximated experimental data, the equations of slipping depending on specific towing force were obtained. There is the equation common for all tested tractors and there are separate equations for tractors with 32-inch and 38-inch tires. These equations provide with the best approximation of description of tractors. Values of specific towing force correlating to maximal towing efficiency and acceptable slipping coefficient of 16% for the Kirovets K-7 series tractors were obtained.
CONCLUSIONS: Some existing and new proposed in the article equations can be used for prediction of values of slipping coefficient at creating of potential towing characteristic for high-powered 4K4b tractors.

Authors: Gevorkyan Artem V. , Prokhorov Ivan V. , Butarovich Dmitry O.
Published: June 2023

BACKGROUND: The microclimate in the bus cabin is of great importance in terms of both safety and comfort. The main parameters of the microclimate are temperature, humidity, dustiness and gassiness of the air, air exchange, the temperature of the elements of the interior surfaces and thermal radiation.
AIMS: The article presents the results of calculating the heat loss in the air environment of the bus cabin using a mathematical model and experimental method.
METHODS: The influence of different features of vehicle interior and exterior topology on the heat losses through the doors was estimated. The estimation of heat losses was performed using the ANSYS Fluent software package. The final result is to obtain the heat loss characteristics as a time-domain function. A field experiment was carried out to verify the obtained results.
RESULTS: A set of numerical values and graphic characteristics giving an idea of the heat losses through the open doors of the bus cabin are presented.
CONCLUSIONS: Due to the developed calculation method of determining the heat losses of the air environment, numerical values and graphical characteristics of the amount and intensity of time-dependent heat losses were obtained. The obtained results were verified experimentally. The study showed that the simulation in ANSYS Fluent and the field experiment have a discrepancy due to high values of the time constant of temperature sensors.

Zinner's syndrome is a rare condition that can be challenging to diagnose and manage. Limited knowledge about its natural history and optimal treatment further complicates matters. To shed more light on this condition, we present a case series of three patients with Zinner's syndrome, highlighting their clinical presentations, diagnostic workup, and treatment options. Our first patient was a 16-year-old male with left epididymo-orchitis and left renal agenesis. The second patient was a 25-year-old male with left epididymo-orchitis, left seminal vesicle cyst, and left renal agenesis. The third patient was a 65-year-old male with left seminal vesicle cysts and aplastic ectopic renal tissue with ectopic ureteral insertion into the seminal vesicle cyst causing acute urinary retention. The two patients who presented with epididymo-orchitis were managed conservatively while the one presenting with acute urinary retention required surgical exploration and excision. It is noted that diagnosis of Zinner's syndrome requires a high index of suspicion, and radiological imaging is crucial for confirmation. Surgical intervention is often necessary to treat symptomatic compression, and fertility counselling is necessary due to the potential for impaired semen quality. Close monitoring is needed due to the risk of renal impairment in the future.

Published: June 2023

Este trabalho analisa criticamente o Processo Seletivo Seriado – PSS visando caracterizá-lo como uma continuidade dos procedimentos de exclusão social típicos, presentes na educação brasileira. Seu objetivo é demonstrar que, além de pouco ou nada contribuir para a melhoria técnica e para a democratização da seleção de candidatos ao ensino superior, o PSS ainda submete as escolas que têm obtido sucesso na implementação de estudos de nível médio com características de formação, como é o caso do CEFET-PB, ao risco de desestruturação curricular e transformação em ensino médio preparatório à universidade. Como conclusão, discute-se a possibilidade de o PSS vir a ser o padrão do ensino médio do CEFET-PB.

Published: June 2023

O município de Boa Vista, localizado no Cariri Oriental Paraibano, no Polígono das Secas, apresenta baixo potencial para o armazenamento de águas superficiais, condicionado pela baixa pluviosidade e pelo relevo predominantemente plano a suave-ondulado, o que evidencia a importância dos recursos hídricos subterrâneos, face à demanda de dessedentação humana e animal. O trabalho apresenta a importância da utilização da tecnologia de geoprocessamento como ferramenta auxiliar dos processos de tomada de decisão por parte dos gerenciadores dos recursos hídricos subterrâneos, como mitigação aos problemas da seca. A ferramenta utilizada foi o SPRING, que se mostrou apropriado e satisfatório na elaboração de sistemas de análise geográfica, relacionando objetos georreferenciados em mapas elaborados com os seus atributos contidos nos bancos de dados correspondentes. A superposição de diferentes planos de informação (drenagem, linhas de tendências de fluxo subterrâneo, fraturas e falhas, etc) possibilitou a identificação de áreas prioritárias à pesquisa de água subterrânea. Além disso, o cadastro criado no sistema permite um rápido monitoramento dos poços perfurados ou em perfuração, facilitando as tomadas de decisão, principalmente durante as emergências. O SPRING atendeu de modo satisfatório os objetivos do presente estudo, consolidando-se como uma importante ferramenta no estudo dos recursos hídricos no semiárido paraibano.

Authors: Silva Liliane Flávia Guimarães da
Published: June 2023

A construção de conjuntos habitacionais de baixa renda tem priorizado critérios financeiros em detrimento do conforto dos moradores, comprometendo sua saúde física e mental, problema resultante do modelo construtivo adotado, extremamente padronizado. Esta pesquisa, baseada em dissertação de mestrado em Desenvolvimento e Meio Ambiente, na Universidade Federal da Paraíba, teve como objetivo avaliar o efeito da padronização sobre a sensação térmica dos moradores do conjunto habitacional Mangabeira VII, em João Pessoa-PB, utilizando-se das técnicas da Avaliação Pós-Ocupação - APO, a qual evidencia o usuário como agente no processo. Os critérios discutidos na avaliação poderão subsidiar empreendimentos de novos conjuntos habitacionais ainda na fase de concepção.

Authors: Wei Wei , Wei Xuan , Xie Xin
Published: June 2023

Background: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), a widely known esophageal disease, severely affects people's health. Numerous investigations demonstrated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) performed key jobs inside a wide scope of organic cycles and stand out in malignant growth. Our study planned to investigate the roles and mechanisms of linc01614 in ESCC.
Methods: A Total of 60 ESCC tissue samples including 30 patients with cisplatin sensitivity and 30 patients with cisplatin resistance, who received DDP-based treatment, were obtained from Zhuhai People's Hospital, Zhuhai City during 2021. These tissues were frozen and saved in a -80 ℃ ultra-low temperature freezer. We performed CCK-8, clone formation, flow cytometry assays to determine the effect of linc01614 on ESCC progression, and explored the specific mechanism of linc01614 in ESCC cell proliferation, apoptosis, and chemotherapy resistance.
Results: linc01614 expression was upregulated in ESCC tissues and cells compared with non-tumor tissues and human normal esophageal epithelial cells (Het-1A). Knockdown of linc01614 repressed cell expansion, chemotherapy opposition, and advanced cell apoptosis in ESCC. Besides, linc01614 regulated the expression of miR-4775 as a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA).
Conclusion: The linc01614/miR-4775 axis played an important role in ESCC progression and drug resistance, revealing that linc01614 is a promising target in ESCC treatment.

Background: Bladder cancer (BCa) is one of the most common urinary tract malignancies. Our study aimed to provide promising biomarkers for BCa screening and prognosis.
Methods: BCa samples were obtained from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were analysed by GO/KEGG analysis. Univariate Cox hazard analysis and Kaplan Meier Curve clarified the relevance of DEGs and survival. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve showed the discrimination ability of DEGs in BCa patient outcome prediction. RT-PCR was used to validate gene expression.
Results: Overall, 61 common up regulated and 170 common down-regulated genes in BCa were obtained. DEGs were mainly enriched in proliferation and metastasis processes. CDC20, COL14A1, SPARCL1, TMOD1, RHOJ, FXYD6 and MFAP4 had clinical relevance to survival with high accuracy. CDC20, SPARCL1 and TMOD1 are promising biomarkers of BCa. CDC20, SPARCL1 and TMOD1 are involved in cancer immune infiltration.
Conclusion: CDC20, SPARCL1 and TMOD1 are promising biomarkers of bladder cancer. In addition, CDC20, SPARCL1 and TMOD1 are involved in cancer immune infiltration, which provides new targets in immune therapy in bladder cancer.
