Authors: Li Benjamin C. , Perkins Stephanie M. , Phillips Sharon E. , Martin Sara F. , Hsieh Samantha , Shinohara Eric T. , Stavas Mark J.
Published: September 2020

Objectives

Appropriate chemotherapy and radiation near end of life is a moving target; challenged by increasing costs, evolving therapies, new reimbursement models and quality metrics. We review treatment trends and variables impacting the initiation of chemotherapy (CHT) and radiotherapy (XRT) in the final 60, 30 and 14 days of life in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Methods

The Florida Cancer Data System was studied to complete a retrospective cohort analysis of 48,858 individuals with Stage IV (M1) NSCLC from 1995–2010. We evaluated the initiation of CHT and XRT after diagnosis and associations with patient demographics, insurance and socioeconomic status (SES).

Results

The use of CHT increased from 35% to 49%, while XRT decreased from 52% to 37% between 1995 and 2010. Initial courses of CHT occurred 8.1%, 5.0%, and 3.6% in the final 60, 30, and 14 days of life, and XRT 13.8%, 7.7%, and 5.2% of the time, respectively. Younger, married, and male patients were more likely to receive treatment. Low SES (OR 0.685, 95% CI 0.633–0.741) and uninsured individuals (OR 0.678, 95% CI 0.572–0.804) were less likely to receive CHT. SES and insurance did not impact XRT.

Conclusions

The initiation of late CHT and XRT treatments decreased from 1995–2010. It persisted above 3% in the last 14 days of life. Clinicians may struggle to taper treatment before death, especially in patients with limited survival. It is important to recognize the complexities of death and dying and the potential influences of palliative care in affecting treatment decisions.

Authors: Karagöz Fazilet Parlakova
Published: September 2020

This research was carried out to examine the effects of different doses of bacterial formulation comprised of a mixture of Bacillus megaterium TV-91C, Pantoea agglomerans RK-92 and Kluyvera cryocrescens TV-113C strains on the plant development and bract quality of poinsettias (Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd. ex Klotzsch), which are one of the most important potted plants grown for their fleshy bracts of the horticultural sector. The study was carried out in a climate-controlled research greenhouse from 8 August 2018 to 15 January 2019 in Erzurum (Turkey). Rooted cuttings of poinsettia [E. pulcherrima Willd. ex Klotzsch cv. Christmas Feelings (CvF)] were used as plant materials in the study. Each of the solutions containing bacterial suspensions 52.5 (T1), 105 (T2), 210 (T3), 420 (T4) and 840 (T5) mL · L−1 of water was diluted 5 times with water and 200 mL · pot−1 was applied to the plant rhizosphere. This study revealed that positive changes incurred in plant height, main flower stem length, plant crown width, bract diameter, green leaf and bract leaf area, leaf total nitrogen content and nitrate reductase enzyme activity parameters in poinsettia plants with increasing doses of the bacterial formulation. This effect has reached the maximum level in the number of bracts, main flower stem length, bract diameter, nitrate reductase enzyme activity, plant fresh weight and maximal root length parameters with the T5 application which has the highest bacterial formulation concentration. The most efficient application of glutamine synthetase enzyme activity was determined as T4.
Global Collaboration in Artificial Intelligence: Bibliometrics and Network Analysis from 1985 to 2019
Authors: Hu Haotian , Wang Dongbo , Deng Sanhong
Published: September 2020

Purpose

This study aims to explore the trend and status of international collaboration in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and to understand the hot topics, core groups, and major collaboration patterns in global AI research.

Design/methodology/approach

We selected 38,224 papers in the field of AI from 1985 to 2019 in the core collection database of Web of Science (WoS) and studied international collaboration from the perspectives of authors, institutions, and countries through bibliometric analysis and social network analysis.

Findings

The bibliometric results show that in the field of AI, the number of published papers is increasing every year, and 84.8% of them are cooperative papers. Collaboration with more than three authors, collaboration between two countries and collaboration within institutions are the three main levels of collaboration patterns. Through social network analysis, this study found that the US, the UK, France, and Spain led global collaboration research in the field of AI at the country level, while Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, and United Arab Emirates had a high degree of international participation. Collaboration at the institution level reflects obvious regional and economic characteristics. There are the Developing Countries Institution Collaboration Group led by Iran, China, and Vietnam, as well as the Developed Countries Institution Collaboration Group led by the US, Canada, the UK. Also, the Chinese Academy of Sciences (China) plays an important, pivotal role in connecting the these institutional collaboration groups.

Research limitations

First, participant contributions in international collaboration may have varied, but in our research they are viewed equally when building collaboration networks. Second, although the edge weight in the collaboration network is considered, it is only used to help reduce the network and does not reflect the strength of collaboration.

Practical implications

The findings fill the current shortage of research on international collaboration in AI. They will help inform scientists and policy makers about the future of AI research.

Originality/value

This work is the longest to date regarding international collaboration in the field of AI. This research explores the evolution, future trends, and major collaboration patterns of international collaboration in the field of AI over the past 35 years. It also reveals the leading countries, core groups, and characteristics of collaboration in the field of AI.
The Geopolitics of Nordic Noir
Authors: Dodds Klaus , Hochscherf Tobias
Published: September 2020

The “golden age” of Scandinavian television has often been associated with Nordic Noir crime dramas, yet many of the acclaimed serials also engage with geopolitical themes such as migration, cross-border crime, military conflicts, and global terrorism. In this article, we examine the ways in which Nordic Noir contributes to discourses on such topics. We look specifically at the dramas Okkupert [Occupied] (NRK, 2015–), Ørnen [The Eagle] (DR, 2004–2006), Nobel – fred for enhver pris [Nobel – Peace at any Cost] (NRK, 2016), and Kriger [Warrior] (Netflix, 2018–) as they explore potential threats to Scandinavian society and the Nordic welfare state through the distinct figure of the vigilante veteran. Returning soldiers, as we argue, are particularly productive of geopolitics because they are shown to be adept (even well suited) to dealing with the geopolitical uncanny. They, in fact, problematise the positive Scandinavian self-image. While Scandinavian society, as can be inferred from the dramas, has become hypocritical and complacent owing to a very high standard of living, the veterans are the only people adept at responding to threats and crises.
Norway Reimagined
Authors: Ratilainen Saara
Published: September 2020

In this article, I discuss the geopolitical underpinnings of Russophone fans’ response to the Norwegian hit teen series Skam [Shame]. Starting from the wide-spread distribution of Skam through informal horizontal networks, my article highlights the context specificity of fan participation in meaning-making around global television. Employing multimodal discourse analysis to the social media platform VKontakte, I examine how Russophone audiences of global television imagine the country of origin of their object of fandom, and how spatial imaginations embedded in this process contribute to popular geopolitics of Norden – that is, to geopolitical reasoning of narratives and representations of Nordic countries available through popular culture. My analysis shows how Norway and its positioning in the world provides an important symbolic resource for further discussions on identity and belonging. A close examination of mediated transnational cultural exchange through fan communities advances our understanding of the meaning of popular geopolitics in the age of global television.
The Landscapes of Eco-Noir
Authors: Mrozewicz Anna Estera
Published: September 2020

This article examines the Norwegian climate fiction television series Okkupert [Occupied] (2015–), focusing on the ways in which it reveals the complicity of Nordic subjects in an ecological dystopia. I argue that in illuminating this complicity, the series reimagines the Norwegian national self-conception rooted in a discourse of Norway's exceptionalist relation to nature. I show how Norway's green (self-)image is expressed through what I call “white ecology” – an aesthetics of whiteness encoded in neoromantic mountainous winter landscapes widely associated with the North, but also in the figure of the Norwegian white male polar explorer. I argue in this article that Occupied challenges this white-ecological masculine discourse through “dark ecology” (Morton, 2007), embodied by Russia and expressed by the avoidance of spectacular landscape aesthetics as well as by the strategy of “enmeshment”, facilitated by the medium of televisual long-form storytelling and the eco-noir aesthetics.
Symbiosis of life-cycle structural design and asset management based on Building Information Modeling: Application for industrial facility equipment
Authors: Lenz Lisa , Weist Kai Christian , Hoepfner Marvin , Spyridis Panagiotis , Gralla Mike
Published: September 2020

In the last few years, particular focus has been devoted to the life cycle performance of fastening systems, which is reflected in increasing numbers of publications, standards and large-scale research efforts. Simultaneously, experience shows that in many cases, where fastening systems are implemented – such as industrial facilities – the design of fasteners is governed by fatigue loading under dynamic characteristics. In order to perform an adequate design and to specify the most efficient and appropriate fastening product, the engineer needs to access and process a broad range of technical and commercial information. Building information modelling (BIM), as a data management method in the construction industry, can supply such information and accommodate a comprehensive design and specification process. Furthermore, the application of BIM-based processes, such as the generation of a BIM-model, allows to use the important information for the construction as well as the life cycle management with different actions and time dependencies of the asset and its components. As a consequence, the BIM model offers the potential to correlate different data relevant for achieving the goals of the respective application, in order to ensure a more effective and correct design of the fastening. This paper demonstrates such a BIM-based design framework for an Industry 4.0 case, and in particular, the installation of a factory robot through post-installed anchors under fatigue-relevant loading in concrete.

Diagnóstico: aproximación a las dificultades para la incorporación de la dimensión ambiental a la dinámica de la escuela
Authors: Gómez Soto John Andersson
Published: September 2020

En el 100% de las instituciones educativas oficiales (IEO) de Santiago de Cali se buscó el fortalecimiento de la educación ambiental con la participación de la Secretaría de Educación Municipal de Santiago de Cali (SEM-CALI), la Fundación Zoológica de Cali, y las autoridades ambientales entre los años 2009-2014 con diferentes fases y propósitos de acuerdo a los convenios de cooperación suscritos en su momento. Esta investigación tiene como propósito divulgar y formalizar el diagnóstico de las principales situaciones que dificultan la implementación de procesos transversales en la escuela, en especial, desde la estrategia PRAE[1]. Para llevar a cabo este proceso, se utilizó el diario de campo como instrumento de recolección de la información, la cual se procesó en una matriz de Vester a través del paquete informático Microsoft Excel. Los resultados arrojaron un árbol de problemas compuesto por  diferentes tipos de dificultades en cuanto a la conceptualización pedagógica y educativa-ambiental, la cualificación y actualización, la creatividad y recursividad. Se recomienda entonces, resignificar los roles de los diferentes actores de la escuela, ya que en ella confluyen proyectos pedagógicos y de gestión. Estos últimos no son de gobernabilidad de los maestros, y los que lo son, de igual manera requieren de la toma de decisiones institucionales que requieren urgentemente la participación de diferentes líderes de la comunidad educativa.

Subjetividades políticas de maestros en contextos escolares afectados por la violencia
Authors: Areiza Erica Elexandra
Published: September 2020

Este artículo presenta reflexiones derivadas de una investigación doctoral que tiene como preocupación develar las manifestaciones de subjetividad política de los maestros en territorios afectados por la violencia, específicamente en la Comuna 13 de Medellín. El texto parte de las distintas afectaciones que han sufrido los maestros y las escuelas en Colombia como consecuencia de las confrontaciones que ha generado el conflicto armado en la historia reciente del país. Seguidamente se focaliza la Comuna mencionada para dimensionar los alcances de las disputas que han protagonizado allí distintos actores armados. En el marco de esta guerra urbana se sitúa la pregunta por el papel que maestros y maestras han tenido en la recuperación de las expectativas vitales y en la recomposición del tejido social. Este acercamiento se realiza a partir de la enunciación de algunas experiencias escolares que constituyen actos de resistencia frente a la infamia y un compromiso ético y político con el cuidado de la vida.

The Under-Explored Possibilities of Ground State Carbonyl Photochemistry
Authors: Rowell Keiran , Kable Scott , Jordan Meredith J. T.
Published: September 2020

Carbonyls are among the most abundant volatile organic compounds in the atmosphere, and their C=O chromophores allow them to photolyse. However, carbonyl photolysis reactions are not restricted to the excited state: the C=O chromophore allows relaxation to, and reaction on, the ground state, following photon absorption.

In this paper, the energetic thresholds for eight ground state reactions across twenty representative carbonyl species are calculated using double-hybrid density functional theory. Most reactions are found to be energetically accessible within the maximum photon energy available in the troposphere, but are absent in contemporary atmospheric chemistry models.

Structure–activity relationships are then elucidated so that the significance of each reaction pathway for particular carbonyl species can be predicted based upon their class. The calculations here demonstrate that ground state photolysis pathways are ubiquitous in carbonyls and should not be ignored in the analysis of carbonyl photochemistry.
The Use of Traditional Values for Violence in the Case of Bride Kidnapping in Kyrgyzstan
Authors: Rizani Naifa
Published: September 2020

Budaya, etnis, agama, dan kepercayaan dianggap memiliki kontribusi yang signifikan pada perkembangan nilai-nilai dan standar hak asasi manusia. Akan tetapi, banyak ditemukan nilai-nilai tradisi dan etnis yang mengabaikan hak asasi manusia dengan adanya elemen diskriminasi yang menyimpang. Nilai-nilai hak asasi manusia yang melekat pada kondisi sosial saat ini memunculkan perdebatan dengan pelestarian tradisi dan budaya. Tulisan ini akan membahas studi kasus dari aksi Bride Kidnapping yang menjadi etnis tradisi masyarakat Kyrgyzstan. Aksi ini merupakan bentuk kekerasan dan diskriminasi terhadap perempuan di Kyrgyzstan, yang nyatanya masih dilaksanakan hingga saat ini dibawah naungan sebuah tradisi. Di satu sisi, gerakan-gerakan penolakan terhadap pelaksanaan etnis Bride Kidnapping semakin berkembang dan mendesak pemerintah untuk melarang aksi tersebut dilakukan. Melalui tulisan ini akan dianalisa bagaimana nilai-nilai hak asasi manusia yang diakui secara universal ini memengaruhi perubahan pandangan masyarakat terhadap etnis Bride Kidnapping sehingga membentuk penolakan di masyarakat Kyrgizstan sendiri.
Presence of The Right Wing: Threatening the Refugee Crisis?
Authors: Rizki Aufar
Published: September 2020

The presence of the right wing in The Western Europe, such as The Front National in French that is led by Marine Le Pen, Alternative Für Deutschland in Germany by Alexander Gauland, and Partij Voor de Vrijheid by Geert Wilders in Netherlands, are the whimsicality phenomenon in European political scene. The rise of the right wing groups in some countries, could impend the pluralism value in the respective country. Furthermore, this movement will be inducing the humanitarian crisis, specifically the refugee crisis. European Union has asylum policy for the refugees, but precisely the migrants who received the asylum policy are somehow causing the instability and insecurity in the country they are migrated to. That is a dilemma of conducting the asylum policy; first consideration is to receive the refugees with main purpose of decreasing the humanitarian crisis, but on the other hand it could induce instability, or other consideration is to close the asylum policy as the right wing postulate, which will increase refugee crisis but give more stable nation.

South Asia is a complex region. It is marked with the emergence and continuity of the conflict. India-Pakistan conflict is one of them. This conflict begun on 1947 and the biggest of conflict divided into three conflicts. Functionalism according to David Mitrany in “A Working Peace System” believes that Region Integration is trusted to make the conflict lower and good relation among state. This perception applied on 1985 in South Asia, which known with SAARC (The South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation). The fact, this conflict still continues till today. However, this paper seeks for the analysis of how’s functionalism theory explain the conflict of India-Pakistan on the regional integration: is that the conflict form an ideal integration of Sout Asia and decline the conflict, or conversely. Furthermore, the result of this research describes that Functionalism is not success on explaining South Asia integration, which means the India-Pakistan conflict still exist and the real integration among member states still not exist yet.

A brief introduction to acronyms is given and motivation for extracting them in a digital library environment is discussed. A technique for extracting acronyms is given with an analysis of the results. The technique is found to have a low number of false negatives and a high number of false positives. Introduction Digital library research seeks to build tools to enable access of content, while making as few as possible assumptions about the content, since assumptions limit the range of applicability of the tools. Generally, the broader the assumptions the more widely applicable the tools. For example, keyword based indexing [5] is based on communications theory and applies to all natural human textual languages (allowances for differences in character sets and similar localisation issues not withstanding) .

The impact of COVID-19 on small and medium-sized enterprises in Armenia: Evidence from a labor force survey
Authors: Beglaryan Mane , Shakhmuradyan Gayane
Published: September 2020

This paper assesses the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on small and medium-sized enterprises in Armenia. The analysis of representative nationwide survey data reveals that as compared with large-company employees, SME employees are more affected by the crisis, having been laid off or having reduced work hours and pay. Logistic regression results show that being employed by an SME doubles the likelihood of layoff and pay reduction. There is also support for the hypotheses that employees in sectors which allow for remote work, e.g., education and information and communication services, as well as those who have medium to high professional qualifications, have been less affected by the crisis. The findings call for more targeted government assistance to SMEs and low-skilled workers.

Neomodernisme Islam dalam Perspektif Fazlur Rahman
Authors: Widayani Hana
Published: September 2020

According to observers of Islamic thought, Fazlur Rahman is a figure whose thoughts are categorized as neomodernism, a pattern of thought that combines modern and traditional thought. Modernism, according to this pattern, is not something to be rejected, but modernism does not mean that the nature of traditionalism must be set aside. This is certainly in line with the Islamic thought of Fazlur Rahman who is always in developing his thoughts to see the development of past thoughts. In some cases, even the two realms of thought (modernism and traditionalism) can go hand in hand. If people follow Fazlur Rahman's way of thinking in all his works according to Syafi'i Ma'arif, people will know that he is very interested in developing the awareness of Muslims about their historical responsibilities with a solid moral foundation. This foundation can only be created if the Koran as a source of perfect moral teaching is understood in full and unified. This true and complete understanding must be done through a methodology that can be accounted for in a religious and scientific manner. According to Rahman, without an accurate and correct methodology, an understanding of the content of the Qur'an may be misleading, especially when approached partially and separately.

Objectives of this study were to: identify the relationship between vegetation higheit and birds’ species at various wetlands of Sinnar State;This study was conducted in Sinnar state, central Sudan (Latitudes 05º -12º to 05º -14º N and longitudes 32.9º - 35.4º E), covering 12 wetlands(mayas) during the wet and the dry season duration 2011 - 2013; thewetlands are Ronga, Allahmaana, Gladeem, Elban, Rahad Kobri 45,Lawni, Kinnaf Tura 5, Rigaba, Shamiya, Wad elggack, Homrani andSinnar Dam reservoir. The study focused on abundance of herbaceousvegetation, Parameters of herbaceous vegetation were determined at50-m intervals along line transects; these parameters were plant countsand vegetation height in a 1-m circular quadrat. Birds were countedtwice a day (morning and evening) in all wetlands with the help of telescopes and binoculars, and species utilizing each site of the wetlandsare identified. Excel programme was used for data analysis. Vegetationheight is negatively correlated with birds’ species richness in wet seasons of 2011 - 2012 and 2012 - 2013, positively correlated in the dryseason when herbaceous vegetation is tall, but negatively correlatedwhen it is short.

This paper considers  state feedback with decentralized structure for interconnected systems. The connection between subsystems is described by a directed graph. To design a decentralized  controller, we use the information from its own subsystem and other subsystems based on the interconnection. Decentralized controller is defined as a solution of bilinear matrix inequality (BMI) problem, which is then solved by using the homotopy approach. Two numerical examples are performed to show validity of the design procedure

A considerable amount of studies has explored gender differences in reading attitude and motivation among students in both elementary and secondary school levels. However, none of them is concerned with English reading attitude and motivation among santri or students living at Islamic boarding school in which gender segregation is applied. This study attempts to investigate santri�s reading attitude and reading motivation based on their gender. Three hundred and nineteen students at pesantren-based senior high schools in Yogyakarta Special Region province participated in the study by completing both reading attitude questionnaires and motivational reading questionnaire (MRQ). The results showed that there were significant differences among female and male santris in terms of reading attitude and motivation. The independent sample t-test revealed that female students reported statistically significant higher attitude in both academic and recreational reading than male students. Similarly, female students also reported higher reading motivation in three dimensions of MRQ, i.e. reading involvement, importance of reading, and competition in reading than male student. Likewise, regression analysis showed that gender could predict santri�s reading attitude and motivation. This study, therefore, confirmed a consistent finding from the previous studies revealing that female students had higher reading attitude and motivation than male students.

Sharia insurance or takaful is basically taâ€™awun agreement between insurance participant and group of people. The aim is to guarantee and protect each other in dealing with the effects of a particular event is not expected that impinge on other participants. Insurance history has existed since the time of BCE and occurs at the time of ancient Egypt that is at the discretion of the Prophet Yusuf. But the existence of Islamic insurance in Indonesia is too late. Takaful in Muslim-majority country has existed since 1979, even with the non-Muslim majority states Indonesia defeated first. For example, in Luxemburg Takaful insurance evolved since 1983. Meanwhile, in Indonesia Islamic insurance start operating in 1995. The contract of sharia insurance is implemented by combining several contracts, namely mudharabah, tabarru, wakalah and hibah in one treaty. At glance, conventional and sharia insurance will appear same. But, in fact it is different. The difference consists in the legal foundation, management, accounting systems, operations and company culture.Â Keywords: Sharia Insurance, Contract of Kafalah, Conventional Insurance

Menelusuri Metodologi Ekonomi Islam Abdel-Rahman Yousri Ahmed
Authors: Ubaidillah Ahmad
Published: September 2020

In recent years, we have witnessed a high interest in the study of methodology in the field of Islamic economics. Works in the form of books, journals, or articles on methodologies have developed rapidly over the past two decades. Peopleâ€™s interest binding up in Islamic economics in the field of methodology is caused by several factors, among which there are those who think that the economy is not going well. Poverty still exists. Unemployment is growing along with high inflation and hardly any reliable solution to the depression of the local economy, even the regional financial crisis. Another reason for the revival of interest in the field of economic methodology is that economists, in their efforts to instill a positivistic paradigm of natural science into economics, tend to break the science of philosophy that raises ethical and moral issues relating to human goals and behavior. This paper will attempt to answer the question: what is the Islamic economic methodology offered by Abdel-Rahman Yousri Ahmed and what should the Islamic economic exponents do in the formulation of Islamic economics theory? This type of research is qualitative with the approach of figure thinking. The data collection technique is done by reading the works of Abdel-Rahman Yousri Ahmed and some supporting writings of the research. The result of study shows that the commitment to make the theory of Islamic economics must be realized into the form of blend between Sharia rules and Islamic values into postulates or axioms. The resolving of various problems, the process of economic analysis, and the formulation of rules that explain Islamic economics, should be based on the postulates or the axioms. The empirical experience of Islamic economics is a mandatory requirement for formulating empirical theory. Islamic economics scientific theory consists of three main elements: definition or terminology, postulates (axioms or assumptions), and hypotheses. From an Islamic perspective, definitions and postulates which are composed and made in accordance with Islamic and Shariâ€™a values, should be ensured to show the character of the Islamic hypothesis that culminates in the theoretical work. The historical experience of Islamic economics in the past will greatly help modern Islamic economics. The Islamic economics applicability depends heavily on using correct methodology in formulating theory.Â Keywords: Islamic Economics Methodology, Abdel-Rahman Yousri Ahmed
