Angiomyolipoma in the Temporal Region: A Case Report
Authors: Ekawati Calenthia , Lumintang Nico , Tandililing Sherly
Published: October 2023

Abstract: Angiomyolipomas are benign tumors (consisting of fat tissues, smooth muscles, and blood vessels) that are often found in the kidney or liver. However, they are rarely found in the head and neck region and require proper management. We reported a 13-year-old girl presented with a mass in the right temple since last year. Musculoskeletal ultrasound (US) and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan showed a well-defined hypoechoic lesion in the right temporal subfascial region, with a suspicion of a hemangioma. The patient underwent resection of the lesion. The diagnosis of angiomyolipoma was confirmed through a histopathological examination. The patient was subsequently discharged on the third postoperative day and had no further treatment. In conclusion, extraperitoneal angiomyolipomas are rarely found, and the diagnosis is confirmed by histopathological examination. The management of temporal angiomyolipomas is tumor resection.
Keywords: temporal angiomyolipomas; histopathological diagnosis; surgical treatment

Fuel is an important energy in fishing operations. Fuel is very influential on operational costs. One of the ways that fishermen can make a profit is by reducing the operational costs of fishing. Fuel consumption was calculated at least the amount of fuel used by the katinting engine at three different RPMs, using a ratio of pertalite type fuel oil and 3 kg LPG gas fuel with an engine operating time of 15 minutes. The average pertalite consumption at low RPM is Rp.1,784.25, while the use of LPG is Rp.761. Based on this value, a comparison of 234.461235% found that gas fuel is more efficient than oil fuel. The average pertalite consumption cost at moderate RPM is Rp.2,926.125, while for LPG use it is Rp.1,115. Based on the value found a comparison of 262.432735% gas fuel is more efficient than fuel oil. The average pertalite consumption at high RPM is Rp.4,271.25, while the use of LPG is Rp.1,574. Based on the average value of fuel consumption at high RPM, a comparison of 271.36277 was found. Gas fuel is more economical than the use of fuel oil in the katinting engine, seen from the comparison of the percentage of the consumption of fuel oil and gas fuel at each RPM.

Published: October 2023

The aims of this study to analyze the differences the catch of the “noru” fishing gear using nipple rubber and silk fibre lures, as well as to identify the catches  obtained. Small pelagic fish are organisms that live in the open sea, separated from the bottom of the water and towards the surface layer. These fish generally like to be in groups, both with their groups and with other types of fish. Also have positive phototaxis (attracted to light) and are attracted to floating objects. Bait is an important factor in increasing the effectiveness of catching small pelagic fish using “noru” fishing gear or hand lines. The interest of artifial bait in this fishing gear has several criteria, including: the shape of the bait must be similar to shape of food, easy visible because of the color and the bait looks alive when the gear is operated. The results of the study showed that noru (hand line) to used nipple rubber lures gave more catches compared to using silk fibre lures. From the catch, there were 4 species of fish caught using nipple rubber lures, namely yellowstrip scad, bigeye scad, trevally and Indian mackerel while using silk fiber lures 2 species of fish, namely  yellowstrip scad and bigeye scad.
Terahertz wave imaging using time domain iterative shrink threshold method
Authors: Kaneoya Tatsuya , Toh Ryo , Suizu Koji
Published: October 2023

We propose a new linear imaging method that combines the iterative shrinkage thresholding algorithm (ISTA) with the synthetic aperture (SA) method to achieve high resolution. Unlike other ISTA methods that use a single frequency component of signals, we use time domain signals directly as measurement, which allows for simultaneous wide bandwidth calculation and potentially better imaging results. Additionally, we simplify the backward estimation process by using impulse back-projection based on the SA method, which reduces the computing cost compared to the ISTA method. Numerical simulation and experimental measurement results show that the image resolution is similar to that of our previous non-linear imaging method, and two reflectors with different reflectivity are imaged linearly. These comparison results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method in achieving high-resolution and maintaining the linearity of target reflectivity.

Authors: Zolotina O. A. , Serpukhova M. A. , Kurkina K. A.
Published: October 2023

Aim. To evaluate the effectiveness of using the tools of employer brand promotion among the youth audience on the example of students and graduates of the economic specialty.

Tasks. To analyze the information about the events held with the participation of company representatives at the Faculty of Economics of the Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU) with the help of the Employment Assistance Service of the Faculty of Economics, based on the data on the formats and number of such events.

Methods. The study applied general logical methods of cognition: dialectical, systemic, logical and comparative analysis; sociological methods, including surveys.

Results. Recent events such as the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic and the withdrawal of foreign companies from Russia have significantly affected the structure of the labor market and, consequently, the employment of students and graduates. Using the 2019-2023 graduate employment data collected upon graduation, the top employing companies for graduates of bachelor’s or master’s degree programs of the MSU Economics Department were compiled. As a result of analyzing the activities of the Department of Employment Promotion and Alumni Relations, as well as student units, the key forms of employer brand promotion at the Faculty of Economics were identified: academic and extracurricular events with the participation of representatives of partner companies and Career Day.

Conclusions. It is proved that active promotion of the employer brand has a direct positive impact on the employment of young people in these companies. The most effective was the organization of educational and extracurricular activities during the year. Career days had less impact, which is explained by the dominant number of internships and practicums offered at such events, while graduates by the time of the survey are already trying to find a permanent job. In this regard, there are prospects for extending the study to include more junior students.

АНТРОПОЦЕНТРИЗМ В ТРИЕДИНСТВЕ ЧЕЛОВЕК — ЯЗЫК — СОЦИУМ И ЕГО ВЫРАЖЕНИЕ В ПОСЛОВИЦАХ
Authors: DZHUSUPOV Mahanbet
Published: October 2023

Статья посвящена исследованию проблемы антропоцентризма на материале русского, казахского, узбекского языков, которая является актуальной и полиаспектной. В ходе ведения научного изыскания было проанализировано и описано в сопоставительном аспекте выражение антропоцентризма в языке (прежде всего в пословичном фонде) во взаимосвязи с культурой общечеловеческой и национально-специфической. В связи с этим рассмотрена проблема константы в целом и антропологической константы в частности как явлений с постоянным признаком, имеющим общечеловеческое и конкретно национальное происхождение. Антропонизм, константа, антропология, антропологическая лингвистика, антропоника, человек, язык, социум и культура тесно взаимосвязаны как в теоретическом, так и в практическом планах. Человек и его язык — основы антропоцентризма. Антропоцентризм реализуется в разных социальных сферах деятельности индивида и общества. Двуединство (человек — язык), перерождается в триединство (человек — язык — социум). Они имеют национально-культурные различия, выполняют на земле полиаспектную планетарную функцию — вживание в себя антропоцентризма и выживание его из себя. Пословичный фонд языка антропоцентричен, так как семантико-стилистическое содержание пословицы всегда направлено на человека в обобщённом, собирательном значении. Материалом исследования послужили фундаментальные труды по антропоцентризму сопоставительной лингвистике, пословичные фонды словарей. В ходе научных изысканий были использованы индуктивные и дедуктивные методы, сопоставительный метод, метод лингвистического анализа и описания, которые способствовали получению теоретических и практических результатов исследования.
A framework to generate sparsity-inducing regularizers for enhanced low-rank matrix completion
Authors: Wang Zhi-Yong , Cheung so Hing
Published: October 2023

Applying half-quadratic optimization to loss functions can yield the corresponding regularizers, while these regularizers are usually not sparsity-inducing regularizers (SIRs). To solve this problem, we devise a framework to generate an SIR with closed-form proximity operator.  Besides, we specify our framework using several commonly-used loss functions, and produce the corresponding SIRs, which are then adopted as nonconvex rank surrogates for low-rank matrix completion. Furthermore, algorithms based on the alternating direction method of multipliers are developed. Extensive numerical results show the effectiveness of our methods in terms of recovery performance and runtime.

La forza delle comunità locali
Authors: Bellanca Nicolò
Published: October 2023

This book, inspired by the thought of Giacomo Becattini, reflects on why local communities continue to exist and spread. Why does the planet not become one place without borders? Why instead do we humans preferentially group ourselves into communities that are neither 'too wide' nor 'too narrow'? What characterizes today's form of community? Why are these communities rooted in places? What is peculiarly 'local' about places? Together with Becattini, we answer that the foundation of local communities is social culture. In its material and symbolic dimensions, social culture animates various forms of proximity between people and between groups: in addition to territorial proximity, social proximity (also online) and institutional proximity matter a lot. This implies that today a local community is not only a place where social culture makes us physically close, but where at least some of the major forms of proximity intersect.

Effect of foot strike patterns and cutting angles on knee kinematics and kinetics during side-cutting maneuvers
Authors: Wenxing Zhou  , Yujie Qi  , Mengjun Liu  , Chengpang Hsiao  , Lin Wang
Published: October 2023

Purpose

Cutting maneuvers are important actions in multidirectional sports but associated with noncontact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. This study aimed to investigate the effect of different foot strike patterns and cutting angles on knee kinematics and kinetics.

Methods

Twenty healthy male team sports athletes performed cuts with maximum speed at three angles (45°, 90°, and 135°) with different foot strike patterns (rearfoot strike [RFS] and forefoot strike [FFS]). A three-dimensional motion capture system combined with a force plate was used to collect makers trajectory and ground reaction force (GRF). Vertical GRF, and knee joint angles and moments were compared among these cutting tasks.

Results

Regardless of foot strike patterns, increased knee flexion angle, knee valgus moment, and knee internal rotation moment were observed during cutting to sharper angles (p < 0.001). At 90° and 135°, the FFS condition remained in a varus position and showed lower knee flexion moment than the RFS condition (p ≤ 0.004). However, no significant differences in knee kinematic and kinetic variables were found between foot strike patterns during cutting to 45°.

Conclusions

These findings suggest that sharper cutting angles potentially increase the risk of ACL injury. Compared with the RFS pattern, the FFS pattern induces a slight knee varus angle and a lower knee flexion moment at sharper angles, which might further reduce the load placed on the knee.

Authors: Puszczałowska-Lizis Ewa , Lizis Sabina , Mikuľáková Wiolletta
Published: October 2023

Purpose

The study aimed to analyze the tarsus and knee setting in 3-year-old girls and boys, taking into account the six-month age ranges.

Methods

The study involved 800 children (400 girls, 400 boys) recruited from randomly selected preschools in the in the Podkarpackie region. Study group was divided into two age ranges: 1st group (children aged 3.00-3.49 years) and 2nd group (children aged 3.50-3.99 years). Baseline goniometer (Fei Fabrication Ltd., USA) was used as primary research tool. The data were analyzed based on Mann Whitney U test and Student’s t test for independent samples.

Results

Sex differences concern only the tibio-calcaneal angle in children in the 2nd age group (right: p<0.001) and left p<0.001). Statistically significant differences in both girls (right lower limb: p=0.003; left lower limb: p=0.002), and boys (right lower limb: p=0.001; left lower limb: p=0.001) were found.

Conclusions

Boys were characterized by greater valgus of the tarsus of the right and left foot than girls. Knees of girls and boys in the 1st age group were characterized by greater valgus, compared to children from the 2nd age group.

Published: October 2023

Purpose

The aim of this study was to examine a short-term (7 days) fluoride ions release and mechanical properties (microhardness) of dental materials - resin-modified glass- ionomer – Vitremer (3M ESPE) and nanohybrid universal composite - TetricEvoCeram (IvoclarVivadent) to assess whether both materials may constitute effective method of tooth decay prevention.

Methods

The cylinder-shaped samples were prepared in a special form of a pellet, 2 mm thick and 5 mm in diameter. Specimens were cured with a use of the Bluephase Style 20i lamp (IvoclarVivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein). Afterwards, they were immersed in the studied solutions. The release of fluoride ions was examined with a use of an ORION 9609 ion-selective electrode (Thermo Fisher Scientific Co., Waltham, MA, USA) connected to a pH/ion meter CPI-551 Elmetron microcomputer. Microhardness measurements were carried out using microhardness tester CSM MicroCombi Tester™ and Indentation 5.21 software. Scanning electron micro-scope (SEM) were created on an FEI Nova NanoSEM 230 microscope (Hills-boro, OR, USA). The magnification was set to 2500x.

Results

Based on the results, both materials showed similar mechanical properties (microhardness), however cumulated release of F- after 7 days was notably higher from Vitremer in all artificial saliva solutions (1-7).

Conclusions

Therefore, we can assume that Vitremer has better remineralization potential and it may constitute more effective method of tooth decay prevention.

A Modern Defense of Simple Rules for a Complex World
Authors: Epstein Richard A.
Published: October 2023

My 1995 book Simple Rules for a Complex World articulated a general proposition that, in most situations, simple legal rules perform better in two key dimensions: (1) they are simpler to interpret and enforce, and (2) they generate efficient incentives on the parties to whom they apply. I then applied that view to matters of general legal theory, to matters of environmental law, and to disputes over labor. These principles apply to all forms of legal regulation, but in this Article, I shall limit my analysis to the five articles in this Collection. These are by Richard Revesz on global warming, Cynthia Estlund on the contract at will, Lior Strahilevitz and Rebecca Hansen on labor organization efforts on company property, Lee Anne Fennell on price discrimination, and Franita Tolson on the independent state legislature theory. The Revesz Article takes an extreme position on responses to global warming that misses the inherent cyclical nature of the underlying determinants of global warming, and thus calls for prompt intervention in energy markets that is likely to prove far more costly and socially destructive than the current energy markets dominated by fossil fuels. The Estlund Article imposes unworkable restrictions on the ability to hire and fire that cannot work especially in two key contexts: both start-ups with high turnover rates as well as mass layoffs. Hansen and Strahilevitz defend an unduly aggressive application of statutes of limitations that would, if adopted, make it vastly more difficult to mount any challenge against virtually any regulation. I then offer a brief and sympathetic comment on Lee Ann Fennell’s price discrimination analysis, which demonstrates the ability of standard contractual forms to facilitate beneficial cooperation in a wide variety of market situations. Finally, the Tolson Article on the independent state legislature theory does not present challenges to the Simple Rules issue, but it does illustrate the perils often inherent in overly clever approaches to constitutional interpretation. A close examination of these articles shows how the dangers of complex legal rules, and the corresponding benefits of simple legal rules, are as relevant today as they were some 28 years ago.

Road traffic injuries are a major public health problem and a leading cause of death and injury around the world. Each year nearly 1.2 million people die as a result of road crashes, and millions more are injured or disabled. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), motorcycle riders are 26 times more likely to die in a traffic collision than passenger vehicle occupants, and 5 times more likely to be injured. In a study conducted by NHTSA on 104,472 motorcyclists injured in traffic crashes, 15 percent of helmeted and 21 percent of unhelmet riders suffered TBI. A helmet aims to reduce the risk of serious head and brain injuries by reducing the impact of a force or collision to the head. A helmet works by, reducing the deceleration of the skull, spreads the forces of the impact over a greater surface area and by preventing direct contact between the skull and the impacting object. Present study was carried out in Mahadevappa Rampure Medical College, Kalaburagi with the aim to know cause of death in deaths due to bike accidents autopsied at Mahadevappa Rampure Medical College, Kalaburagi between 2011 to 2016(6-year retrospective study). Results of the study shows that out of 100 cases, in 65 cases cause of death was head injury and in 35 cases it was hemorrhagic shock, septicemia, multi organ failure and others. In 48% of cases injuries were seen in thoracic region and in 40% of cases abdominal injuries. Whereas in 34 cases except intracranial hemorrhage no other injuries were seen on the body. The present study shows that maximum deaths can be prevented by wearing a proper protective helmet.

Women constitute a larger percentage of the illiterate group in n Nigeria. This could be attributed to the fact that in most families, parents prefer to send their sons to school, instead of their Daughters whom they feel would eventually get married and thus get incorporated into another family and by implication a larger percentage of the girls remain uneducated and unexposed. Girl-child access to basic education, especially in northern states, has remained low. The importance of women education in enhancing the education of their children is succinctly put in the old adage which states that ’’to educate a man is to educate a person, but to educate a woman is to educate a nation’’ The participation of women in politics may influence equalization of educational opportunities, quotas for female participation in governing bodies, legislative reform to increase focus on issues concerning women and children, financing gender-responsive budgets to equally take into account the needs of men and women,. Therefore there is need to analyses constraints affecting women participation in politics and their consequences in retarding development of women education. This paper therefore is to appraise some constraints to women education and implications to their political power play in North West Nigeria. In doing this, the paper discusses how women had fared in the traditional societies for educational struggle and how that had helped in the definition of their political status. The paper also attempts a historical overview of the participation of women in the political arrangement in North West Nigeria. It tries to probe into the political future of women in the country to determine whether there are opportunities for improvement or not. The paper finds a great deal of role stereotype against women by tradition and absence of practical steps taken by both political parties and government towards political achievements. It opines that more women should be given opportunities for education for participation in the politics of the country. This can be achieved through laws that are deliberately aimed at removing the barriers against women and genuine practical approaches.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming in Controlling the Subcon scious Mind to Acquire Foreign Languages
Authors: Al-shloul Hanaa Mohammad Khalaf
Published: October 2023

Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is a powerful tool that has gained popularity in recent years for its effectiveness in reprogramming the subconscious mind and acquiring foreign languages. By understanding the principles of NLP and applying them to language learning, individuals can unlock their linguistic potential and improve their proficiency in a foreign language. This essay will explore how neuro-linguistic programming can be utilized to harness the power of the subconscious mind and facilitate language acquisition.One of the fundamental concepts in neuro-linguistic programming is the idea that the subconscious mind is a powerful force that shapes our thoughts, behaviors, and beliefs. Through various techniques, such as visualization and affirmations, individuals can influence and program their subconscious mind to acquire foreign languages more effectively. By consistently exposing oneself to the target language through listening, reading, and speaking, the subconscious mind begins to assimilate the linguistic patterns and structures, ultimately leading to improved language proficiency. NLP helps individuals tap into the vast potential of their subconscious mind and utilize it as a tool for language acquisition.Another crucial aspect of neuro-linguistic programming is the recognition of different learning styles and preferences. People have unique ways of processing and assimilating information, and NLP acknowledges this diversity. By identifying one's preferred learning style, individuals can tailor their language learning approach accordingly. For instance, visual learners may benefit from using mind maps or flashcards to associate words with images, while auditory learners may find listening to native speakers or audio materials helpful. NLP provides a framework for individuals to discover their learning styles and leverage them to accelerate language acquisition.In addition to understanding learning styles, neuro-linguistic programming also emphasizes the importance of effective communication. Language learning is not only about vocabulary and grammar but also about developing excellent communication skills in the target language. NLP techniques can improve individuals' ability to understand and express themselves in a foreign language, including body language, tone of voice, and non-verbal cues. By practicing effective communication strategies, such as mirroring or pacing, language learners can establish rapport with native speakers and enhance their overall fluency.
