Objective: Transarterial chemo-embolization (TACE) is a palliative treatment option for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with improved patient survival. The aim of the study was to see the outcome of our patients at our institution 2 years post TACE. Patients and Methods: Electronic records were retrospectively reviewed for patients who had TACE from 1st November 2009 – 31st October 2012. Baseline imaging, multidisciplinary team (MDT) and clinical notes, pathology labs, TACE angiograms and follow up imaging were reviewed for 2 years after first TACE. Procedure complications, clinical status and findings at follow up CT were reviewed and analyzed in SPSS version 19. Survival was assessed using Kaplan Meier curves. Results: A total of 104 patients had TACE for HCC. Amongst these 21 patients were lost to follow up and could not be contacted to reconfirm the outcome and had to be excluded to minimize bias. Amongst the included 83 patients, 57 (68.7%) were male and 65 (78.4%) were 51-70 years of age at time of first TACE. The commonest cause for HCC was HCV in 74 (89.2%) patients. Target lesion size at baseline CT was < 5 cm in 38 (45.8%) patients, 5-10 cm in 37 (44.6%) patients and >10 cm in 8 (9.6%) patients. A total of 25 (30%) patients needed more than 1 session of TACE. On post TACE CT, 46 (55.4%) patients had good packing of lipoidol in the lesion. A total of 18 (21.7%) patients progressed in TACED lesions while another 21 (25%) progressed with new lesions. One patient had metastasis to adrenal gland. Only 8 (9.6%) patients had liver failure after TACE and 1 patient had hepatorenal syndrome. Only 1 patient died within 30 days after TACE. Two years post TACE, 47 (56.6%) patients were alive indicating good outcome. Conclusion: TACE improves survival in HCC; 1 year survival was 80% and 2 year survival was 56.6%.

Authors: Kaplan Ayse , Mehtap Kutlu Hatice
Published: June 2020

Background: Metal compounds have been studied in vitro for many years and these compounds’s effects are shown on tumors. Anticancer potential of silver and silver metal compounds is investigated in these days. A study on the in vitro interactions of silver nitrate (AgNO3) with MCF7 human breast carcinoma cells was performed to detect cytotoxic effects which induce apoptotic pathways.Materials and Methods: The cytotoxicity of silver nitrate which administered on MCF7 cells was assessed by MTT assay. The apoptotic influences of silver nitrate (IC50: inhibition concentration) were determined using Annexin V-FITC/PI, JC-1, TUNEL paraffin embedded and confocal microscopy assays. Silver nitrate induced cytotoxicity and apoptosis in MCF7 cells. Results: In this work, we demonstrated that the inhibition of cell growth which is time and dose dependent in MCF7 cells for 24, 48 and 72 hours. The inhibition concentration of silver nitrate (IC50) was found as 10 µM in MCF7 cells for 72 hrs. The early/late apoptotic and necrotic changes which occured with silver nitrate (IC50: 10µM) administered, were analyzed in the MCF7 cells for 72 hrs. However, the reduced mitochondrial membrane activity (ΔΨmt) was observed by silver nitrate-treated (IC50: 10µM) in the MCF7 cells for 72 hrs. In addition to these ﬁndings, a variety of apoptotic structures were demonstrated on MCF7 cells for 72 hrs. Conclusions: The results suggest that silver nitrate could be attributed as chemotherapeutic agent for medical applications in breast cancer treatment.

Lines in the Sacred Landscape
Authors: Varfolomeeva Anna
Published: June 2020

This article discusses how transportation routes affect local relations with place and resources while being simultaneously shaped by the landscape. It focuses on Okinskii district (Oka) of Buriatiia in southcentral Siberia. The Mondy-Orlik road, which connected the district with the rest of Buriatiia, offered extended opportunities for the development of extractive businesses and tourism in the district. For many residents, the greater accessibility of Oka connotes a threat to local traditions and beliefs. The article examines the interconnectedness of economic, social, and cultural changes that the Mondy-Orlik road brought to Oka. The article demonstrates how the new road became entangled with the lines that previously existed in the landscape, the connections between human and nonhuman actors, and the patterns of informal jade extraction.

Authors: Qureshi Abdul Waheed , Ullah Ubaid , Ayyaz Shazia
Published: June 2020

The current research is a critical study of the play Iranian Nights (1989) and it has been tried to explain how certain religious fanatics use religion as their weapon to safeguard their interests. Perspectives of different prominent thinkers like Hughes (2015), Shulman (2016), Schultz (2016), and Black (2015), regarding spiritual abuse, religious intolerance, extremism, and sectarianism, etc. provided the necessary conceptual framework for the research in hand. The data was analyzed keeping in view the parameters of narrative analysis which enabled the researchers to interpret meanings beyond the textual fabrication of narration. It was concluded that spiritual abuse was the result of the narrowmindedness and intolerant behavior of the religious fanatics in the shape of Caliphs, Mullahs, and Kazis. These characters manipulated religious ideals and defamed the religion of Islam in the name of reformation.

Authors: Berkan Bicer Mustafa
Published: June 2020

In this study, a coplanar waveguide-fed compact microstrip antenna design for applications operating at higher 5G bands was proposed. The antenna with the compact size of 8 x 12.2 mm2 on FR4 substrate, having the dielectric constant of 4.3 and the height of 1.55 mm, was considered. The dimensions of the radiating patch and ground plane were optimized with the use of artificial cooperative search (ACS) algorithm to provide the desired return loss performance of the designed antenna. The performance analysis was done by using full-wave electromagnetic package programs based on the method of moment (MoM) and the finite integration technique (FIT). The 10 dB bandwidth for return loss results obtained with the use of the computation methods show that the proposed antenna performs well for 5G applications operating in the 24.25 – 27.50 GHz, 26.50 – 29.50 GHz, 27.50 – 28.35 GHz and 37 – 40 GHz frequency bands.

Published: June 2020

This paper presents the methodology for the development of an optimization model for the optimization of the cross-section dimensions of a bridge crane girder designed as a welded I-profile. To carry out this optimization, the CAD/CAE software package CATIA V5 was used. In order to develop an optimization model, a CAD geometrical model and structural analysis model were developed. Optimization was carried out by the iterative method using a simulated hardening algorithm. Additionally, the optimization process is carried out by using the PEO (Product Engineering Optimization) CATIA module that contains tools for setting the optimization criteria, design parameters, constraints, and algorithms. The goal of the optimization is to achieve the minimal mass of the girder, while satisfying all functional and geometrical constraints. As a result of the optimization process, minimal girder dimensions were obtained and due to that, a minimal amount of material can be used for the manufacturing of the girder.

Authors: Salakhov Rishat , Ermakov Andrey , Gabdulkhakova Elvira
Published: June 2020

Typically, closed-type impellers are more efficient than open-type impellers, but in the manufacture of closed-type impellers, cost of wheels is higher. This paper describes the development of cost-effective and simple impeller wheel for a fluid pump in the truck cooling system. To perform this task, the numerical computations of a standard impeller wheel were carried out, its characteristics were also obtained from a test bench, the standard impeller wheel model was verified. The open-type impeller wheel was developed according to the current dimensions of standard impeller wheel and then analyzed with the numerical computations by the software ANSYS CFX (Academic license) computational fluid dynamics. The developed open-type impeller wheel works very effectively in spite of performance degradation by 5% in comparison to the closed-type impeller wheel. When working as a part of engine, the pump efficiency is 0.552-0.579. The maximum value of the pump efficiency is 0.579, it can be achieved at the highest speed of the pump (4,548 rpm and 655 l/min).

Authors: Constantin Anca
Published: June 2020

An exemplary construction project developed in a commune close to Constanta, Romania, aims to build wooden houses for families with low income. The study focuses on their energy performance, aiming to determine simple technical solutions for the improvement of energy efficiency. The original house is a duplex ground floor building. The energy assessment was performed in accordance with the Romanian methodology for the original house, for the reference one and for a variant of the original house whose ground floor is insulated. The study showed that appropriate insulation of the ground floor which covers 30% of the thermal envelope area results in a heating energy saving of 17%. Furthermore, the original horizontal duplex was compared to its similar vertical version (ground floor and one storey) which is more compact, at the same heated volume and the same heated area. The reference vertical version saves 3% of heating energy.

Authors: Kovačič Miha , Đukić Goran , Gajšek Brigita , Stopar Klemen
Published: June 2020

Štore Steel Ltd. is one of the largest flat spring steel producers in Europe. There are two production lines after rolling – one for flat bars and the other for round bars. The flat bars production generally consists of visual examination, straightening and cutting operation. In addition, heat treatment or magnetic particle testing could be conducted. On the other hand, the round bars production consists generally of straightening, automatic control line control, chamfering and cutting. In addition, heat treatment is possible. For manipulation of the material in the rolling plant, the electric transporter and several cassettes are used. In the paper path planning and production storage optimization (i.e. storage spaces for cassettes) were conducted using genetic algorithm. The production storage is actually the space between main transport passage and individual operations. In the research the universal system using CAD geometry is presented where AutoCAD environment and in-house developed AutoLISP system were used. The production storage – storage spaces for cassettes (location and orientation) with corresponding electric transporter trajectories are represented as CAD objects and thus form individual solution/organism. The organisms undergo simulated evolution. The results of the evolution are compared with actual production storage in the steel plant.

This study aims to determine major pollutants that are present at the beaches of Abu Dhabi (a part of the Arabian Gulf). The examination of samples from four different locations was made around Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. These locations included Al Bateen Beach, Saadiyat Beach, Yas Beach and Ras Al Akhdar beach. The methodology included the analysis of pH, salinity, TDS, heavy metal and trace element levels of seawater. The results indicated no presence of heavy metals in any of the four locations. However, there were traces of copper, aluminium, nitrate and magnesium. The results concluded that it is important to maintain the sustainability of Arabian Gulf water because water is the most important natural resource on this planet.
Dos milagres ou das crenças causais ilegítimas, em David Hume
Authors: Santos Rubens Sotero
Published: June 2020

Abordaremos aqui as crenças causais em milagres a partir do método experimental usado por Hume a fim de saber se tais crenças podem ser ditas legítimas ou não. Dessa forma, teremos duas possibilidades: ou os critérios usados para julgar crenças causais confirmam a legitimidade de milagres, e então teremos que assumir que tais critérios são demasiados falhos ao dar conta da natureza dos milagres – uma vez que são contrários à experiência. Ou, então, os critérios usados para julgar crenças causais não permitirão conferir um estatuto de legitimidade aos milagres, e assim teremos uma base razoável para julgar crenças causais legítimas. Defenderemos, a partir dos textos de Hume, esta segunda hipótese com o seguinte argumento: uma crença para ser dita legítima tem que ter o estatuto de prova, a crença em milagre jamais poderá ser uma prova, logo, a crença em milagre jamais poderá ser dita legítima.
Cálculo e medida na transição de o nascimento da tragédia para Humano, demasiado humano: as paixões como questão
Authors: Jakimiu Sabino Paulo Cesar
Published: June 2020

O presente artigo discute as noções de cálculo e medida na obra de Nietzsche, mais especificamente na transição do seu período inicial para o período intermediário. Com isso, nossa intenção é explicitar como tais noções que soam tão pouco dionisíacas – e consequentemente, nietzschianas – podem fazer parte do conjunto da obra de Nietzsche e, mais ainda, serem essenciais para a compreensão de seu pensamento. Para que esse objetivo fosse alcançado, foram necessários os desdobramentos de conceitos como paixões e criação na obra nietzschiana, fazendo reaparecer características do conceito de apolíneo, que são praticamente despercebidos uma vez que o filósofo combina seus dois conceitos anteriores. Porém, ao fazer isso, ele compartilha conosco sua ideia de “criar a si mesmo como obra de arte”. Por fim, tentamos deixar claro que quando introduzimos tais noções como cálculo e medida em sua filosofia, isso jamais o faz parecer um filósofo racionalista ou moralista, isto é, alguém que busque apresentar e estabelecer determinadas regras e normas de conduta consideradas apropriadas.

The utilization of seluang fish flour and kepok banana flour as substitution in making cookies will increase the nutritional value of protein and calcium and may reduce the use of wheat flour.Objective: This study aims to analyse the effect of selpis (seluang and banana) flour substitution on protein, calcium, acceptability and organoleptic quality of cookies.Method: Experimental method with a completely randomized design (CRD) with five flour substitution treatments: 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% was used in this study. The protein content was tested by Kjeldahl method while the calcium content was tested by the AAS method.Results: Most of panelists preferred the original cookies (P1), characterized by yellowish in colour, fresh-baked aroma, slightly tough in texture and sweet-taste. The highest levels of protein and calcium were at P5 (20%) of 12.25% and 5.88 mg / 100 g.Conclusion: The substitution of seluang and kepok banana flours affect protein levels, calcium levels, acceptability (taste, color and aroma) of cookies but does not affect the texture of cookies.

Background : Anemia is a nutritional problem in Indonesia which was characterized by a condition where the  red blood cells or hemoglobin levels is lower than the normal value. Nutritional anemia is caused by deficiency nutrients that play a role in the formation of hemoglobin, due to inadequate consumption or absorption disorders. These nutrients are iron, protein, vitamin B12 which act as catalysts in hem synthesis in hemoglobin molecules, vitamin C, zinc which affect iron absorption and vitamin E which affect the stability of the red blood cell membrane. Most of these are iron nutrient anemia. Females adolescent are more susceptible to anemia compared than men. The minimum of hemoglobin levels in females adolescent to diagnose as anemia is when hemoglobin levels are less than 12 g / dl.Objective : To increase hemoglobin levels of females adolescents by providing tempeh flour-based snacksMethod : In this study, an attempt had made to create tempe-based formula in the form of pizza which was high in iron and protein, the availability of tempe flour was great because the absorption disturbing agent was damaged by the fermentation process. The analysis was carried out to observe the difference in Hb levels in the treatment group (given tempe flour pizza) and control (given a regular pizza) and the relationship between BMI, nutrients-intake and consumption compliance with Hb levels.Result : The results showed there was an increase in Hb levels of 1.21 g% in the treatment group (61.54%). Nevertheless, the increase did not statistically significant. There was no relationship between BMI, nutrients intake and compliance with pizza consumption to increase Hb levels.Conclussion : Administration of tempeh fluor-based pizza for a month could increase Hb levels by 1.21 g/dl in most study participant, but it did not statistically significant.

PURPOSE:

Data have indicated that residual disease after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) may be associated with poor outcomes.

OBJECTIVE:

Analyze differences in overall survival (OS) of patients with residual MIBC treated with NAC + Radical cystectomy (RC), RC alone, or RC + Adjuvant Chemotherapy(AC).

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

The National Cancer Database was queried for patients who underwent RC alone, NAC + RC, or RC + AC for MIBC stage cT2-4aN0M0 from 2004-2015. Covariates were balanced using propensity score (PS) weighting. Time to death was evaluated from diagnosis. Weighted cox proportional hazards models and Kaplan-Meier survival curves were created to analyze differences in OS.

RESULTS:

8,288 patients were included for analysis, 1,899 (23%) received NAC + RC, 5,529 (67%) received RC alone, and 860 (10%) received RC + AC. Patients were sub-stratified based on pathological staging (≤pT2 or >pT2) and compared against treatment with RC alone. In the ≤pT2 cohort, NAC + RC was associated with a decreased risk of death (HR:0.85, 95% CI:0.79–0.91) and RC + AC was associated with an increased risk of death (HR:1.46, 95% CI:1.34–1.60, both p < 0.001) compared to RC alone. In the >pT2 cohort, these associations reversed, with an increased risk of death seen in the NAC + RC group (HR:1.11, 95% CI:1.05–1.18) and a decreased risk of death in the RC + AC group (HR:0.74, 95% CI:0.7–0.77, both p < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS:

Patients with >ypT2 disease after NAC experienced a significant increased risk of death when compared to pathological stage-matched patients who underwent RC alone or RC + AC. Biomarkers predictive of NAC resistance may be important to optimize NAC usage and establish treatment algorithms.

Authors: Huetle-Figueroa Juan , Perez-Tellez Fernando , Pinto David
Published: June 2020

Currently, the semantic analysis is used by different fields, such as information retrieval, the biomedical domain, and natural language processing. The primary focus of this research work is on using semantic methods, the cosine similarity algorithm, and fuzzy logic to improve the matching of documents. The algorithms were applied to plain texts in this case CVs (resumes) and job descriptions. Synsets of WordNet were used to enrich the semantic similarity methods such as the Wu-Palmer Similarity (WUP), Leacock-Chodorow similarity (LCH), and path similarity (hypernym/hyponym). Additionally, keyword extraction was used to create a postings list where keywords were weighted. The task of recruiting new personnel in the companies that publish job descriptions and reciprocally finding a company when workers publish their resumes is discussed in this research work. The creation of a new gold standard was required to achieve a comparison of the proposed methods. A web application was designed to match the documents manually, creating the new gold standard. Thereby the new gold standard confirming benefits of enriching the cosine algorithm semantically. Finally, the results were compared with the new gold standard to check the efficiency of the new methods proposed. The measures used for the analysis were precision, recall, and f-measure, concluding that the cosine similarity weighted semantically can be used to get better similarity scores.

Published: June 2020

Engaged customers are a very import part of current social media marketing. Public figures and brands have to be very careful about what they post online. That is why the need for accurate strategies for anticipating the impact of a post written for an online audience is critical to any public brand. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a method to predict the impact of a given post by accounting for the content, style, and behavioral attributes as well as metadata information. For validating our method we collected Facebook posts from 10 public pages, we performed experiments with almost 14000 posts and found that the content and the behavioral attributes from posts provide relevant information to our prediction model.

Published: June 2020

In the field of security, the data labels are unknown or the labels are too expensive to label, so that clustering methods are used to detect the threat behavior contained in the big data. The most widely used probabilistic clustering model is Gaussian Mixture Models(GMM), which is flexible and powerful to apply prior knowledge for modelling the uncertainty of the data. Therefore, in this paper, we use GMM to build the threat behavior detection model. Commonly, Expectation Maximization (EM) and Variational Inference (VI) are used to estimate the optimal parameters of GMM. However, both EM and VI are quite sensitive to the initial values of the parameters. Therefore, we propose to use Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) to initialize the parameters. Firstly, SVD is used to factorize the data set matrix to get the singular value matrix and singular matrices. Then we calculate the number of the components of GMM by the first two singular values in the singular value matrix and the dimension of the data. Next, other parameters of GMM, such as the mixing coefficients, the mean and the covariance, are calculated based on the number of the components. After that, the initialization values of the parameters are input into EM and VI to estimate the optimal parameters of GMM. The experiment results indicate that our proposed method performs well on the parameters initialization of GMM clustering using EM and VI for estimating parameters.

BACKGROUND:

Given the limited available evidence on chloral hydrate safety in neonatal populations and the discrepancy in chloral hydrate acceptance between the US and other countries, we sought to clarify the safety profile of chloral hydrate compared to other sedatives in hospitalized infants.

METHODS:

We included all infants <120 days of life who underwent a minor procedure and were administered chloral hydrate, clonidine, clonazepam, dexmedetomidine, diazepam, ketamine, lorazepam, midazolam, propofol, or pentobarbital on the day of the procedure. We characterized the distribution of infant characteristics and evaluated the relationship between drug administration and any adverse event. We performed propensity score matching, regression adjustment (RA), and inverse probability weighting (IPW) to ensure comparison of similar infants and to account for confounding by indication and residual bias. Results were assessed for robustness to analytical technique by reanalyzing the main outcomes with multivariate logistic regression, a doubly robust IPW with RA model, and a doubly robust augmented IPW model with bias-correction.

RESULTS:

Of 650 infants, 497 (76%) received chloral hydrate, 79 (12%) received midazolam, 54 (8%) received lorazepam, and 15 (2%) received pentobarbital. Adverse events occurred in 41 (6%) infants. Using propensity score matching, chloral hydrate was associated with a decreased risk of an adverse event compared to other sedatives, risk difference (95% confidence interval) of –12.79 (–18.61, –6.98), p <  0.001. All other statistical methods resulted in similar findings.

CONCLUSION:

Administration of chloral hydrate to hospitalized infants undergoing minor procedures is associated with a lower risk for adverse events compared to other sedatives.

Published: June 2020

The study investigates perceptions of primary school heads and teachers of strategies to improve the implementation of Inclusive Education for children with learning disabilities in Goromonzi South District of Mashonaland East Province. The research employed mixed methods research design, and was conducted in seven schools selected from thirty-one schools in the District. A stratified random sampling strategy was employed in this study. The target population was stratified according to their position. The sample size was fifty-two would-be respondents, randomly selected school heads and teachers. The data were collected through a structured questionnaire and focus group discussions, in which primary school heads and teachers indicated their perceptions of strategies to improve the implementation of Inclusive Education for Children with Learning Disabilities. The collected data were presented and summarised in tables. The findings revealed that respondents perceived the following as strategies that school heads and teachers could use to improve the implementation of inclusive education for learners, namely: creating a shared vision with parents, staff members and students; providing relevant In-service training to educators; providing adequate teaching material, learning resources, and equipment for children with learning disabilities; creating a child-friendly school with a conducive teaching and learning atmosphere; and facilitating inclusion through effectively communicating with, and involving parents and other key stakeholders in the learning of their children. The study recommends the need for Government to provide a comprehensive National Policy with a mandatory order specifying the services to be provided, and guiding all stakeholders to abide by its provisions.

Az Országos Meteorológiai Szolgálat Repülésmeteorológiai Osztályán folyó egyik kutatómunka az új repülésmeteorológiai honlap (http://aviation.met.hu) Modell előrejelzések menüpontja alatt található, a hullámrepülés támogatását szolgáló aloldal fejlesztését célozza. E kutatás első lépéseiről az első szerző egy korábbi cikkben már beszámolt. Az akkori tervek közül néhány már megvalósult, valamint új irányok felé is nyitott a kutatás. Az AROME-modellből ma már több esettanulmányhoz előállt a Scorer-paraméter, a közeljövő feladata az operatív modellből történő előállítás kidolgozása. Az esettanulmányok feldolgozására egy MSc-diplomamunka keretében kerül sor. A turbulencia előrejelzésével kapcsolatban egy korábban független, a szerzőtársak által végzett másik kutatás került kapcsolatba. Az ő kutatásuk parametrizációk fejlesztésével a szabad légköri turbulencia modellezésének fejlesztését célozza. Megállapították, hogy csapdázott hegyi hullámok jelenléte esetén jelentős az alulbecslés, ezért a további terv közös munkával megpróbálni eredményt elérni.
