Increasing Anticipated and Anticipatory Pleasure through Episodic Thinking
Authors: Hallford David John , Farrell Helen , Lynch Ebony
Published: January 2019

Episodic future thinking for positive future events is known to evoke positive affect. We aimed to assess whether it specifically evokes anticipated and anticipatory pleasure for future events, and behavioural intention. As a secondary aim, we examined if this differed compared to a condition of thinking of positive past events. In two studies, participants nominated five upcoming positive events, and five positive past events. They then completed guided episodic thinking of past events and guided episodic thinking of future events. After guided episodic thinking they rated the nominated future events on detail/vividness, mental imagery, anticipated and anticipatory pleasure, and behavioural intention. In Study 1 (N=32, M age=37.0, SD=19.7), increases on all variables were found relative to baseline, although expected pleasure was at trend level. There were no significant differences between future and past conditions. In Study 2 (N=29, M age=38.4, SD=16.3), participants were asked to nominate future events that were not already planned, and perceived control was also assessed. Again, increases in detail/vividness, mental imagery, and anticipated and anticipatory pleasure were found, this time with stronger effects for the future condition. No change was found for perceived control or intention. In both studies, increases in detail/vividness, mental imagery, and anticipated and anticipatory pleasure were generally positively correlated with increases in behavioural intention. This study provides evidence that guided episodic thinking increases anticipated and anticipatory pleasure for positive future events. Clinical implications, particularly in depression and schizophrenia-spectrum disorders, are discussed.

Published: January 2019

Numerous studies have demonstrated long-term benefits of optimism for physical and mental health. However, little research has examined how optimism develops across the lifespan and how it is shaped by positive and negative life experiences. In this study, we examined the normative trajectory of optimism development from ages 26 to 71 in a longitudinal sample (N=1,169) of Mexican-origin couples assessed four times across 7 years. Latent growth curve analyses indicated that optimism increased throughout early and middle adulthood before plateauing at age 55, with significant individual differences in change. Furthermore, the experience of positive events was associated with optimism development across adulthood, but negative life events were not associated with development. Men and women developed similarly in optimism, while US-born participants developed differently from Mexican-born participants. We discuss how these findings inform our understanding of optimism as a dynamic, adaptive construct.

Published: January 2019

Husband-perpetrated intimate partner violence (IPV) against wives is highly prevalent in rural Nepal. Social inequities experienced by women and girls, compounded by norms characterized by male dominance increase risk of IPV. To address this problem, the Change Starts at Home Project employs a social behavior change communication strategy (SBCC) to shift behavior and norms related to IPV in 36 Village Development Committees in three districts (Chitwan, Kapilvastu, Nawalparasi) in Nepal. The project is being evaluated with a cluster randomized trial (NCT02942433). Data for the manuscript come from baseline surveys of reproductive-aged women randomly selected from the intervention and control communities (N=1440) and female intervention enrollees (N=360). Descriptive statistics were used to identify differences across and within intervention arms and among intervention enrollees and randomly selected participants from the same communities. A total of 1982 individuals were assessed for eligibility resulting in a response rate of 72.65%. The cooperation rate was 84.16%. Results indicate broad sociodemographic similarities on most variables, although a higher percentage of intervention participants were unemployed and a lower percentage had love marriages compared to both study conditions. A smaller percentage of women in the intervention communities reported physical and / or sexual IPV in the prior 12 months (23.89%) than control communities (31.81%) or intervention participants (15.00%). Participants reported favorably to questions inquiring about whether their rights as participants were upheld, however, a minority felt they could discontinue at any time suggesting the need for greater consideration of this aspect of participation in subsequent data collection.

Authors: Manzum Amika Ahmed , Mamun Md Arafat Al
Published: January 2019

Cellualse is one of the most important enzymes used in textile, detergent, paper, food and feed industries. Therefore, a study was undertaken to isolate Bacillus bacteria having the potential to produce cellulase from soil samples. 24 soil samples were analyzed and 54 presumptive Bacillus isolates were isolated after heating the soil samples at 80°C for 10 min. Among them 45 isolates showed enzyme activity ranging from 0.003 to 0.17 U/ml in test tubes containing 5 ml medium composed of (g/L) glucose 0.5 gm, peptone 0.75 gm, FeSO4 0.01 gm, KH2PO4 0.5 gm, and MgSO4 0.5 gm at 120 rpm, 37° C and pH 7. Among them 1RW, 2WS, 3YR, 4WT, 6 RR, and 9SS showed 0.17, 0.15, 0.14, 0.15, 0.147 and 0.14U/ml enzyme activities, respectively. Production of cellulase by these isolates was further scaled up to shake culture containing 50 ml medium similar to that used in test tube culture. Among the isolates 1 RW showed the maximum activity. This 1 RW was identified by API kit and showed that 59 % belongs to Bacillus licheniformis strain (51% confirmation) or Bacillus subtilis (31% confirmation). Further gene analysis is required to confirm the species. The genetic improvement study will make the isolate a good source of cellulase.
Mental Emancipation in Nnamdi Azikiwe’s Political Philosophy and the Decolonisation of African Knowledge
Authors: Ikuenobe Polycarp
Published: January 2019

This article examines Nnamdi Azikiwe’s idea of mental
emancipation as the intellectual foundation for his political philosophy.
Mental emancipation involves re-educating Africans to adopt scientific,
critical, analytic, and logical modes of thinking. Azikiwe argues that
development must involve changing Africans’ intellectual attitudes and
educational system. He argues that Western education, through perpetuating
negative stereotypes and engendering ‘colonial mentality’,
has neither fostered critical and scientific thinking, nor enabled Africans
to apply their knowledge for development. Mental emancipation would
enable Africans to develop self-confidence, and the critical examination
of superstitious beliefs that have hindered Africa’s development. I show
that Azikiwe’s ideas have been recaptured by African philosophers like
Bodunrin and Wiredu, regarding their critique of aspects of African
tradition and prescription for how African philosophy can contribute to
development.
Portrait of the Artist as Colonised Subject
Authors: Pauwels Matthias
Published: January 2019

This article engages with Frantz Fanon’s writings on different
responses by artists among colonised peoples to the fact of their
colonisation. Fanon develops a dialectical account in which an initial
stage of assimilation of Western techniques and paradigms is followed
by a phase of immersion in African artistic traditions. These two phases
then function as prelude to a third, combative stage which is presented
as the most efficacious and authentic way for artists to play their part in
decolonisation. The article problematises the temporal logic and implicit
hierarchies of Fanon’s account. It does so by using Jacques Rancière’s
redemptive reading of early working class mobilisations in 1830s and
1840s France, prior to the advent of Marxian proletarian politics, as a
counterpoint. The article here finds a different, more affirmative, nondialectical
and non-historicist way of evaluating the liberatory potential
of artistic practices by the colonised prior to combative decolonisation.

Authors: Motyleva S. M. , Borisova A. A.
Published: January 2019

The aim of the study was a comparative study of the biochemical composition of the apple fruits of domestic varieties and hybrids, suitable for organic farming, not inferior to the best in the world in terms of content of biologically active compounds. The biochemical composition of 13 apple varieties of diff erent geographical origin was studied by representative methods. It is proved that the antioxidant activity of apples grown in the Moscow region is 3-5 % higher than the antioxidant activity of imported varieties. The relationship between the antioxidant activity of the aqueous extract obtained from fresh fruits, titratable acidity (r = 0.58549) and ascorbic acid content (r = 0.468335) was established. The varieties Golden delicious, Granny Smith and Royal Gala are not superior to the content of the most important biologically active substances the new varieties and hybrids of All-Russian Horticultural Institute for Breeding, Agrotechnology and Nursery. Gallic acid was most found in apples hybrid 1 (0.075 mg/g) and varieties Antonovka Obyknovennaya, Chinese Kerr, Mayak Zagorya, Podarok Grafskomy, Marat Busurin, Lobo and Royal Gala (average 0.063 mg/g). In apple varieties Granny Smith and Golden delicious, the content of gallic acid was 1.3-2 times less compared to a hybrid 1. The content of chlorogenic acid in fruits was on average 25-45 % more than the gallic. The order of accumulation of elements in fruits and their total content was established. Diff erences in the composition of carbohydrates in the studied fruits were revealed.
Die Kompensationspflicht für Treibstoffimporteure: eine zentrale Massnahme der Schweizer Klimapolitik
Authors: Burkard Reto
Published: January 2019

Obligation to compensate for fossil fuel importers: a central measure of Swiss climate policy

The Federal Act on the Reduction of CO2 Emissions (CO2 Act; CC 641.71) requires fossil fuel producers and importers as well as operators of fossil fuel power plants to use domestic measures to compensate for a part of their CO2 emissions. As a result, they carry out domestic emission reduction projects or programs to meet this requirement. Demonstrated emission reductions are documented with an attestation or counted directly towards the compliance. Eligible projects or programs include all greenhouse gases listed in Article 1 of the Ordinance on the Reduction of CO2 Emissions (CO2 Ordinance; CC 641.711) or involve biological CO2 sequestration (capture and storage of CO2) in wood products. The CO2 Ordinance sets out the requirements for the respective projects and programs: just like international projects under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the Kyoto Protocol, compensation projects and programs in Switzerland must follow a specific procedure. The critical step in this procedure is to demonstrate that the reductions are additional, i.e. they would not have been achieved without the project/program. The instrument of compensation for fossil fuel importers contributes significantly to achieving national climate targets. The administrative office for compensation operated jointly by the Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) and the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE) is the contact point for project developers, validators and those with compensation obligations.
Estimating the implied discount rate: An application to multi-year nfl trades of draft picks
Authors: Taylor Gary K. , Medcalfe Simon , Dugan Michael T. , Ezell Robert
Published: January 2019

We estimate the implied discounted rate associated with trades of National Football League (NFL) draft picks that involve draft picks in different years. The NFL conducts an annual draft of draft-eligible college football players. NFL executives use draft charts to determine the value of each draft pick, and we use this draft chart to estimate the implied discount rate of trades combining current and future year draft picks. Using data from the full sample of 61 NFL trades of draft picks containing a combination of current and future year draft picks occurring from 2002 through 2016, we find that the implied discount rate ranges from [Formula: see text]172.50% to 625.81%. We find that, for the 57 draft day trades, the implied discount rate is positively associated with the head coach’s tenure of the team giving away the future draft pick.

Authors: Grazzi Marco , Piccardo Chiara , Vergari Cecilia
Published: January 2019

This paper describes the procedures leading to the construction of an integrated dataset for business firms. By merging information from sources such as business registries, financial statements and intellectual property offices, we show how to assemble a panel data that is suited to investigate issues ranging from firm demographics to industrial dynamics, also encompassing the analysis of innovation activities taking place within business firms. We test the validity of the proposed procedures resorting to the virtual universe of Italian limited liability companies, hence covering more than 1 million firms operating in both manufacturing and service sectors. The main purpose of the paper is to provide a unified set of procedures to help researchers dealing with the vast amount of information available on corporate firms and of ever increasing size. Our work also contributes to ease the replicability of empirical analyses.

On the appraisal and development of ST-X field: uncertainties and challenges
Authors: Vu Hung Viet , Mai Lan Cao
Published: January 2019

This paper summarizes theuncertainties and challenges in appraising and developing the ST-X gas condensate field, which is offshore Vietnam in Block 15-1. Drill Stem Test (DST) results show that the ST-X field has moderate to low permeability, multiple flow boundaries/barriers, and at least 2 PVT regions. To understand the impact of these and other important reservoir parameters on ultimate gas and condensate recovery and well count, a reservoir simulation study was performed. The study demonstrates that there is a wide range of possible ultimate gas and condensate recoveries and well counts. The top causes for this wide range are the heterogeneity in permeability distribution and flow boundaries/barriers. In addition to the subsurface risks, drilling cost of a ST-X well is very high. The high well cost in combination with the field being offshore, having low permeability and possibly numerous reservoir compartments dramatically increase the risk of a full field development.

Authors: Nguyen Thinh Phu , Do Khanh Quang , Hoang Quang Trong , Nguyen Nguyen Viet Khoi
Published: January 2019

With growing global energy demand and depleting reserves, enhanced oil recovery (EOR) from existing or brown fields has become more and more necessary and important. Among the various enhanced oil recovery methods, chemical EOR has drawn increasing interest from many petroleum companies. In this paper, the popular EOR methods are introduced briefly. Next, we also consider the EOR processes of chemical flooding and the screening criteria for chemical EOR processes in detail. Finally, based on the data of the White Tiger (Bach Ho) field, we evaluate and predict the potential of using chemical EOR at the main different petroleum reservoirs from the Miocene, Oligocene to fractured basement formations.
The tectonic evolution and hydrocarbon potential in the boundaries of Vietnam continental shelf
Authors: Tran Nhu Huy , Ngo Thuong San , Nguyen Binh Kieu , Tran Van Xuan , Nguyen Xuan Kha , Nguyen Xuan Huy , Nguyen Van Tuan
Published: January 2019

Recent survey results indicate the presence of Tertiary sedimentary basins with hydrocarbon potential in the boundaries of Vietnam continental shelf. These basins were perhaps formed in the Early Oligocene on the Mesozoic basement of continental crust and were filled with mainly deltaic clastic sediments. From very early Miocene these basins have linked together and became wider. Sediments of marine and prograding delta facies accumulated and widespreaded on the whole continental shelf. At the Middle Miocene to present-day the opening of the Bien Dong Sea (Vietnam East Sea), the regional tectonic subsidence and the eustatic fluctuation had created sedimentary formations of open and deep marine facies with turbidite shale, platform carbonate including reef build-up. Andesite and basalt extrusion occurred in form of dykes resulting from tectonic inversions in Late Oligocene, in the beginning of Middle Miocene, particularly in Late Miocene-Pliocene. These Tertiary sedimentary basins are expected to have hydrocarbon potential and need to be investigated and explorated adequately. The main risk is the drilling technology, the exploitation in the deep sea and high investment cost.
The model to predict sand production for production wells at Cuu Long basin
Authors: Ta Dung Quoc , Hoang Tung Thanh
Published: January 2019

Sand production in Sandstone reservoirs is a complex problem to Oil & Gas companies. Many methods have used to solve this problem but these methods only have effect for the first period of production without effective in long time. Sand production causes big damages such as: producing tools corrosion in hole, separating tools corrosion at surface, formation collapse, so sand production in well is always the urgent problem. Based on formation characteristic research, advantages and disadvantages of sand failure analysis and combining the advanced methods, this study introduces Production Sand Pressure Model to predict sand productivity in sedimentary reservoirs in field X in Cuu Long basin.

Authors: Le Quang Xuan , Vo Hien , Nguyen Huy Huu , Tran Nhat Ly Minh , Nguyen Thang Toan , Do Khanh Quang , Nguyen Long Tuong
Published: January 2019

Single Point Mooring (SPM) is of great use to offshore floating structures which are currently in use in Vietnam’s coastal waters. However, this country is facing the lack of the related guidelines and standards for analysis, simulation and design of SPM system. This fact is the rationale for this paper which is aimed to propose a procedure for computation of the effects of sea environment on a SPM system. Specifically, the procedure enables the identification of maximum load exerting on the mooring buoy. Then, such identification together with the water depth parameter enables the determination of the optimal length and diameter of the desired chain. Finally, this paper presents a primary simulation of the mooring chain system according to various water depth conditions.
Sensory evaluation as a tool in assessing the quality of new fermented products
Authors: Yousseef Manhal , Lubbers Samuel , Housson Florence , Valentin Dominique
Published: January 2019

Ten starter cultures of lactic acid bacteria were used to ferment five mixtures of milk and pea protein (0%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% of pea) to select the cocktail that can lead to products similar to traditional yogurt. Product quality evaluation was performed by comparing the sensory profile of 49 formulated products with the profile of a milk fermented by commercial lactic ferments. The sensory profiles were analyzed by means of three-way ANOVAs and a principal component analysis (PCA). Substitution of cow milk protein with 40% of pea proteins reduce starter cultures effects and decrease product quality. In contrast, until 30% of pea protein, starter cultures show positive and negative effects. For example, products fermented by Streptococcus thermophilus + Lactobacillus acidophilus with 30% pea protein have positive characters like creamy and smooth, but Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. Bulgaricus + Lactobacillus rhamnosus caused bad quality and negative characters like bitter and astringent even with 100% cow milk.
Comparison of consumer preferences of dog food products between Thailand and Singapore using choice-based conjoint analysis

Published: January 2019

This research investigated the difference in consumer perception of dog food products between Thais and Singaporeans using ChoiceBased Conjoint Analysis (CBC). The empirical analysis used consumer-level questionnaires to elicit the information (n=184 for Thai consumers and n = 141 for Singaporean consumers) with regards to four attributes (packaging format, price, brand quality and nutrition) with three predefined elements for Thai consumers (packaging format: canned, pouch, dry; price: 85 Baht, 135 Baht, 165 Baht per kg; brand quality: unbranded, commercial, premium; nutrition: fulfilled, silky fur and skin condition, dog’s preference) and for Singaporean consumer (packaging format: canned, pouch, dry; price: < S$5, S$5-$7, > S$7 per kg; brand quality: supermarket, premium, holistic; nutrition: general, specific, dog’s preference). The results of conditional logistic regression suggested that “premium”, “dry”, “silky fur and skin condition” were important elements for Thai consumers, while “dry”, “holistic brand” and “specific nutrition” were important elements for Singaporean consumers. The “price” attribute did not contribute significantly to consumer preferences in both countries. In addition, CBC showed an overestimation in values of elements of dog food products. This may have resulted from respondents having focus on their preferred elements and ignored other elements. It was also found that the “dry” and “holistic” elements were the main dominating attributes for Singaporean and Thai consumers respectively. The comparison of the CBC results between both countries has helped to identify the potential profile of dog food products.
Accelerated vs. real time modeling for shelf life: an example with fortified blended foods
Authors: Phan Uyen Thuy Xuan , Edgar IV Chambers, , Natarajan Padmanabhan, , Sajid Alavi,
Published: January 2019

Shelf life can be simply defined as the duration of that the food remains acceptable for consumption. Determining shelf life of a product, thus, has become essential in quality control because consumer’s demands for safe and high quality products have increased. Accelerated shelf life testing (ASLT), which subjects the food to environments that are more severe than normal to speed up the deterioration process, has long been used in shelf life studies because it can help make decisions more quickly by minimizing time and it minimizes costs. The criterion used to determine shelf life can be the changes in either physical, chemical, biological or sensory characteristics.

This study used sensory descriptive properties as the primary criteria to investigate the validity of using Accelerated Shelf Life Testing (ASLT) to determine shelf life of four extruded fortified blended foods (FBFs) compared to a real time model. The real-time environment was set at 300C and 65% relative humidity, based on the weather in Tanzania, the expected location of product use. The ASLT environment was at 500C and 70% relative humidity based on a Q factor of 2, which was equivalent to a one-week ASLT equals onemonth real time. The samples were evaluated for aroma and flavor by a highly trained descriptive panel for 3 time points in each shelf life model. Among the eighteen attributes tested, rancid and painty were the main sensory criteria to determine the shelf life of the products.

The ASLT shelf life predictive model was consistent with the real time shelf life for three of the samples. However, it failed to predict the real time shelf life of the fourth similar sample. This affirms the essential use of real time modeling in shelf life study for a new product, even when an accelerated model has been developed for other similar products in the same category. ASLT testing can still be used, but only for early guidance or after validation.

Lokasi wisata di pesisir Teluk Kupang yang berkembang pesat saat ini adalah Pantai Tedys di Kelurahan Lai-Lai Besi Kopan (LLBK). Pantai Tedys ini merupakan salah satu pusat pariwisata dan Pusat perdagangan di Kota Kupang. Lokasi ini merupakan pusat wisata kuliner yang sangat ramai oleh pengunjung setiap harinya, dan juga merupakan lokasi persinggahan kapal-kapal asing peserta Sail Indonesia dan Sail Komodo. Berkembangnya berbagai kepentingan tersebut membuat wilayah pesisir di kelurahan LLBK akan menyanggah beban lingkungan yang berat, akibat pemanfaatan yang tidak terkendali, tidak teratur, serta tidak mempertimbangkan penggunaan teknologi yang ramah lingkungan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskripsi dengan melakukan observasi dan kajian secara langsung di lapangan terhadap berbagai kondisi  guna mengetahui seberapa besar dampak dan kerusakan yang mungkin terjadi. Berdasarkan penyebabnya, kerusakan pesisir di kawasan ini secara umum disebabkan oleh aktifitas manusia berupa pembangunan gedung dan infrastruktur yang sangat dekat dengan garis pantai sehingga menjadi benteng bagi gempuran ombak dan faktor alam yaitu gelombang badai yang selalu terjadi secara periodik setiap tahunnya. Untuk mengurangi dampak/resiko kerugian yang mungkin dapat terjadi, maka diusulkan beberapa alternatif  yang dapat dilakukan yaitu: pendekatan struktur berupa pembuatan tembok pantai dan revetment pada lokasi yang bukan karang, sedangkan pada lokasi karang dibuat revetment dan perlu dilakukan studi lebih lanjut guna menentukan tingkat kelayakan dan kemampuan dari karang-karang tersebut dalam menahan beban yang setiap hari terus meningkat, sehingga dapat ditentukan alternatif penanganan yang lebih baik. Sedangkan untuk pendekatan non struktur dilakukan melalui sosialisasi dan penegakan aturan pembangunan.

The subject matter of this article is the testing processes in multiprocessor systems, first of all - fault-tolerant control systems, when the number m of allowed failures from n processors is known in advance and is limited. The topology of interprocessor communications can be represented as a directed graph of the circulant type, where the number of input and output channels between each one processor and the other processors in the system is not less than m. The goal is to minimize the number of mutual checks in the system when performing its self-testing. Tasks: develop an effective method for organizing the mutual testing of processors in multiprocessor systems and algorithm for its implementation, estimate the number of elementary checks and prove its rightness. The following results were obtained. Based on the known method of diagnosis of multiprocessor systems with a regular structure, and m≤4, with parallel and independent testing, the task of organizing of testing process for any m <(n ⁄ 2) was formulated. In this process, only one pair of processors participate in testing in one moment of time, thus it was called sequential. what special about this organization is that the choice of the next pair is based on the analysis of the history of the process. An algorithm for performing the method has been proposed. The Preparata-Metz-Chen model was chosen as the model of faults, as the closest one to reality. Conclusions. The scientific novelty of the results is as follows: The method for organizing of self-testing of multiprocessor systems with a connection topology described by a circulant graph (with at least m input and m output edges) has been proposed, and this method allows reducing the number of mutual tests in the system. It has been proved that the state (serviceable/faulty) of all processors of the system can be determined after performing no more than n + 2m checks. Practical value - the method allows to reduce the time spent by system on self-testing, and, therefore, to increase its performance, since the system performs this task constantly in the process of exploitation. The advantages of the selected topology: it is suitable for any integer values of n
Quasi-Z-Source Four-Leg Inverter with PV by using Model Predictive Control Scheme
Authors: Ramanaiah Konda , Rajasekhar P.
Published: January 2019

The Implementation of Quasi-Z-Source Four-Leg Inverter with PV by using Model Predictive Control Scheme is proposed in this paper. In order to reduce the drawbacks of traditional three phase voltage source inverter (VSI). Photovoltaic (PV) is a term which converts the light into electricity. This topology features a wide range of voltage gain which is suitable for applications in renewable energy-based power systems, where the output of the renewable energy sources varies widely with operating conditions such as wind speed, solar irradiation and temperature. To improve the capability of the controller, an MPC scheme is used which implements a discrete-time model of the system. The controller handles each phase current independently, which adds flexibility to the system. The performance of quasi z source three-phase four-leg VSI with PV by using model predictive control (MPC) was simulated using MATLAB Simulink under balanced and unbalanced load conditions as well as single-phase open-circuit fault condition.

Published: January 2019

Background: Cisplatin has a potency of causing nephrotoxicity. Serum BUN and creatinine levels have been well-known for detecting kidney dysfunction; while KIM-1 and NGAL urine levels are relatively new measurements. The study was aimed to evaluate urinary KIM-1 and NGAL level to detect kidney dysfunction in patients with advanced stage NPC who received cisplatin-based chemotherapy.Methods: The study was a cohort-prospective study with 3 subject groups, i.e. patients who had never received and who had received 75-100 mg/m2 cisplatin-based chemotherapy as well as those who had never received 40 mg/m2 cisplatin-based chemotherapy. The levels of urinary KIM-1, NGAL and serum level of BUN and creatinine were measured before and after receiving cisplatin. Statistical analyses were ANOVA, Pearson, Spearman, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and SPSS version 22.0.Result: There was a significant difference of delta BUN level (p=0.0001) and delta urinary NGAL level (p = 0.025) before and after treatment in all three groups; while delta KIM-1 level showed no significant difference in all three groups (p=0.275). Cisplatin may cause accumulated nephrotoxicity, which has dose-dependent manner.Conclusion: Measuring urinary NGAL level can detect an early stage of kidney dysfunction; however, it still cannot replace the role of BUN. Measurement of urinary KIM-1 level cannot detect kidney dysfunction.
