Kebijakan Pendidikan Anak Berkebutuhan Khusus di Surabaya dalam Perspektif Islam
Authors: Rachman Rio Febriannur
Published: August 2020

Artikel ini membahas tentang program pendidikan dasar anak-anak berkebutuhan khusus yang ada di Surabaya. Program tersebut dijalankan oleh Dinas Pendidikan Kota Surabaya melalui pengadaan Pusat Layanan Disabilitas atau PLD yang lokasinya tersebar di bagian Barat, Timur, Utara, Selatan, dan pusat kota Surabaya. Pada 2009, anak-anak yang menyandang kebutuhan khusus diberi fasilitas belajar bersama dengan mereka yang tidak berkebutuhan khusus melalui sekolah inklusi. Di sekolah inklusi itu terdapat Guru Pembimbing Khusus (GPK) yang berlatar belakang sarjana pendidikan luar biasa dan sarjana psikologi. Pada 2016, program sekolah inklusi yang sudah berjalan itu dikuatkan dengan keberadaan PLD. Program ini merupakan salah satu bukti kalau Surabaya serius memberi pengayoman dan pelayanan bagi masyarakat dari berbagai latar belakang atrau lapisan masyarakat. Sebagai upaya mengimplementasikan semangat Undang-Undang Dasar 1945 yang berazas keadilan sosial, termasuk di bidang pendidikan. Teori yang dipakai dalam artikel ini berhubungan dengan pendidikan dasar, konseling (karena anak-anak berkebutuhan khusus memerlukan intervensi ini), dan kebijakan publik. Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan kajian pustaka. Artikel ini membahas bagaimana kebijakan publik PLD dihubungankan dengan konsep pembangunan berkelanjutan yang digariskan Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa dan konsep kemaslahatan umat yang ditekankan oleh ajaran Islam. Hasil dari studi ini menunjukkan, program PLD memiliki kesesuaian dengan pembangunan sosial berkelanjutan dan semangat menumbuhkan kemaslahatan umat. Dengan demikian, program ini layak untuk terus dilanjutkan, tentu saja dengan keterbukaan untuk melakukan pembenahan di kemudian hari, dan cocok untuk direplikasi di daerah-daerah lain

Za i przeciw owadom na talerzu?
Authors: Grzybkowska Maria , Leszczyńska Joanna , Głowacki Łukasz
Published: August 2020

Nasilający się przez kilkadziesiąt ostatnich lat wpływ człowieka na Ziemię prowadzi do degradacji środowiska. Okres ten nazwano zatem Antropocenem. Głównymi czynnikami sprawczymi tej degradacji jest liczebny wzrost populacji ludzkiej i potrzeba zaspokajania jej wymagań. Prowadzą one do niedoborów energii i pożywienia, którym przeciwdziałać mogą nowe, odnawialne źródła energii (wiatr, promieniowanie słoneczne, woda geotermalna, biomasa i rozszczepianie atomu) oraz pożywienie w postaci owadów. Owady są nie tylko cennym źródłem białka, lecz także, w farmakologii związanej z odżywianiem, źródłem chityny oraz jej deacetylenowej pochodnej, chitosanu, które wchłaniają w przewodzie pokarmowym człowieka 12 razy więcej tłuszczu niż same ważą. Poza tym związki te regulują zawartość cholesterolu LDL we krwi oraz mogą działać podobnie do błonnika zawartego w innych pokarmach. Owady wymagają o wiele mniej pokarmu i wody do budowy ciała niż zwierzęta kręgowe i rośliny. Opory wielu europejskich narodów przy spożywaniu owadów są mniejsze, gdy pokarm z tych zwierząt jest wysoko przetworzony.

Authors: Fayz-Al-Asad M. , Munshi M. J. H. , Sarker M.M.A.
Published: August 2020

The present study aims to analyze the natural convection flow and heat transfer in a wavy cavity with a single horizontal fin attached to its hot wall. Galerkin weighted residual finite element technique has been employed to solve the governing nonlinear dimensionless equations. The effects of model parameters like Rayleigh number, fin length and location on the fluid flow and heat transfer are investigated. The obtained results are exhibited graphically in terms of flow structure, temperature dispersion, velocity field, fin effectiveness, local Nusselt number, and average Nusselt number. It is observed that the different fin length and location have a substantial effect on flow structure and temperature field. Fin effectiveness is also studied and the highest fin effectiveness was found at fin length (L = 0.75). Besides, it is also found that the mean Nusselt number increases significantly with the increase of Rayleigh number and fin length. Wavy cavity becomes more effective on heat transfer behaviors and fluid flow than that of a square cavity.

Authors: Rédei Károly , Keserű Zsolt , Bach István , Rásó János , Ábri Tamás , Szabó Fruzsina , Gál János
Published: August 2020

Black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) is the most widespread introduced tree species in Hungary. Though it covers 24% of the country’s total forest area, the wood industry has difficulties processing large quantities of this poor quality wood. To address this issue, the Hungarian Forest Research Institute (FRI) initiated a selective breeding program designed to improve black locust wood quality. The breeding was based mainly on the small, elite breeding populations of the so called “ship mast” locust, which possess solid, straight, fork-free stems. Mono- and multi-clonal cultivars were developed and cultivar comparative and growing trials were established. Among the selected cultivars, the cultivar ‘Üllői’ locust (Robinia pseudoacacia cv. ‘Üllői’) proved one of the best. As a result, a comprehensive review on the management of ‘Üllői’ locust in Hungary was compiled. This study provides a contribution to the improvement of growing technology used for selected black locust cultivars.

The ability to find short representations, i.e. to compress data, is crucial for many intelligentsystems. This paper is devoted to data compression and a transform-based quantitative data compressiontechnique involving quick enumeration in a unary-binary time-based numeral system (NS). The symbolscomprising the alphabets of human-computer interaction languages (HCIL), which are used in an informationalmessage (IM), are collected in primary code tables, such as the ASCII table. The statistical-oriented datacompression method using unconventional timer encryption and encoding information are proposed by us. Itwas constructed probability - discrete model of the set of character sequences and characterized someprobabilistic algorithms associated with the recovery of text by its public key and its cipher. We find thepossibility of parallel implementation of this method by building a block of timer tags. The necessaryestimations of complexity are obtained. The method can be used to compress SMS messages. Probabilisticstatistical analysis and evaluation of their effectiveness are obtained.

The main task of the translator is to remember all the difficulties of translation and try to express the author's thought as accurately as possible, while not forgetting to convey various author's artistic techniques. One of the types of language game of the analyzed work is a pun. The analysis of the translations revealed a number of techniques for conveying puns of a fantasy work, such as: when conveying a pun, vocabulary should not denote concepts that are outside the reality of the child, the stylistic coloring of the pun should correspond to the peculiarities of the language of the children's work. A pun should naturally be included in the entire system of stylistic and figurative means of translation, obey the main goal of the entire work and not distort the ideological and artistic character of the original, it is created only in a typical situation for it.
High permittivity, breakdown strength, and energy storage density of polythiophene-encapsulated BaTiO3 nanoparticles
Authors: Khan Adnanullah , Habib Amir , Afzal Adeel
Published: August 2020

High permittivity and breakdown strength are desired to improve the energy storage density of dielectric materials based on reinforced polymer composites. This article presents the synthesis of polythiophene-encapsulated BaTiO3 (BTO-PTh) nanoparticles via an in situ Cu(II)-catalyzed chemical oxidative polymerization of thiophene monomer on hydrothermally obtained tetragonal BTO nanocrystals. The formed core–shell-type BTO-PTh nanoparticles exhibit excellent dielectric properties with high permittivity (25.2) and low loss (0.04) at high frequency (106 Hz). A thick PTh encapsulation layer on the surface of the BTO nanoparticles improves their breakdown strength from 47 to 144 kV/mm and the energy storage density from 0.32 to 2.48 J/cm3. A 7.75-fold increase in the energy storage density of the BTO-PTh nanoparticles is attributed to simultaneously high permittivity and breakdown strength, which are excellent for potential energy storage applications.

Authors: Ponce-Camacho Miguel Ángel , Villavicencio Aguilar Jorge Alberto , Romo Martínez Roberto
Published: August 2020

Se fabricó un prototipo óptico para realizar mediciones de plasmones polaritones de superficie en haces de luz difractados a ángulos menores a 900. Se elaboraron experimentos para identificar el ángulo resonante de excitación de plasmones polaritones de superficie mediante una rejilla de difracción con un periodo espacial mayor a la longitud de la onda de la señal de luz. En los ensayos realizados en laboratorio se llevaron a cabo mediciones de la curva de intensidad de la señal de luz difractada en los órdenes +1 y – 1. Los resultados experimentales fueron consistentes con lo planteado teóricamente. En virtud de lo anterior, se concluye que es posible excitar plasmones polaritones de superficie, utilizando la técnica de la rejilla de difracción metálica con una longitud de onda menor al periodo espacial de la rejilla. El prototipo óptico logrado resulta ser muy flexible para futuras aplicaciones en la medición de plasmones. Lo anterior es posible gracias a la rapidez con la que se pueden modificar las monturas y sus ensambles para la alineación de los elementos ópticos: diodo láser, superficie rugosa metálica, polarizador lineal. Así mismo, el control absoluto en el aparato del ángulo de incidencia, y la facilidad para intercambiar la fuente de luz y la superficie rugosa metálica, abren amplias posibilidades para probar nuevas hipótesis para las condiciones de excitación de plasmones polaritones de superficie.

Osmanlı Devleti’nde Yeteri Kadar Bilinmeyen Bir Proje: Abdurrahman Ağa’nın 1700 (H.1111) Tarihli Gemi İnşa Faaliyeti ve Bazı Değerlendirmeler
Authors: Polat Süleyman
Published: August 2020

Tarih boyunca Birecik, Fırat üzerinden Basra’ya yapılan nehir taşımacılığında önemli bir yere sahipti. Bu önemli yeri Osmanlı hâkimiyetine girmesinden sonrada devam etmişti. Özellikle Osmanlı devrinde bölgede vuku bulan çatışmalarda, Birecik’ten askerî taşımacılık yapılmak maksadıyla gemi inşa talepleri payitahttan gelmişti. Bununla beraber Osmanlı hâkimiyetine geçmesinden XVIII. yüzyıla kadar, Birecik’te gerçekleşen gemi inşa faaliyetlerinin hiçbiri Abdurrahman Ağa’nın üstlendiği proje kadar teşkilatlı ve büyük değildi. Ne var ki, Abdurrahman Ağa’nın gerçekleştireceği projenin büyüklüğü inşa edeceği gemilerin sayısından değil, ebatlarından kaynaklanmaktaydı. Bu çalışmada dikkat çekici bir süreç olan Abdurrahman Ağa’nın yürüttüğü gemi inşa faaliyetlerine, bizzat mübaşeretliğinde tutulan muhasebe defterleri üzerinden detaylı bir inceleme yapılacaktır. Böylece Osmanlı’nın doğusunda Fırat’a kıyısı olan bir kazada, inşa edilen bir nehir donanma işinin ayrıntıları ortaya konulacaktır. Fakat bundan daha önemlisi, bu esnada ortaya çıkan verilerin derinlemesine analizi yapılarak, kritik bir zamanda niçin Abdurrahman Ağa mübaşeretinde bu projenin icrasına çalışıldığı irdelenecektir. Ayrıca inceleme sonucunda ortaya çıkan verilerin kıyaslanmasıyla, Birecik’teki gemi inşa faaliyetlerinin tarihsel süreçteki gelişimi ve Birecik Tersanesi’nin bu zaman dilimindeki yeri değerlendirilecektir.
Savaşın Öteki Yüzü: Romanya’daki 93 Harbi Esirleri
Authors: Ürkmez Naim
Published: August 2020

93 Harbi olarak adlandırılan 1877-1878 Osmanlı-Rus Harbi’nde Rusların 10 Aralık 1877’de Plevne’yi ele geçirmesinden sonra 40.000 civarındaki Osmanlı askeri Ruslara esir düşmüştü. Bu esirlerin yaklaşık 30.000’i ağır kış koşulları altında Rusya’ya götürülmüştü. Kalan 10.000 esir ise, savaşa Osmanlı Devleti’ne karşı Ruslarla ittifak ederek giren Romanya’ya bırakılmıştı. Bu çalışmada Plevne’de esir edildikten sonra Bükreş’e sevk edilen askerlerin hazin hikâyesi anlatılmıştır. Esirlerin hangi koşullarda Bükreş’e sevk edildiği ve bu şehirde ne surette yaşamlarını idame ettikleri betimlenmiştir. Siyasî tarihten daha ziyade insan merkezli olacak bu çalışmada esir düşen askerlerin gözünden, savaşın bilançosu ve sebep olduğu acılar tasvir edilmiştir.

Bu savaşta Rusya’nın tarafında yer alarak Osmanlıya karşı mücadele eden Romanya, Berlin Antlaşması ile bağımsızlığını kazanmıştı. Ancak Besarabya’yı Rusya’ya kaptırmıştı. Bu sebeple savaştan sonra Ruslara karşı mesafeli duran Romanya hükümeti, elindeki esirleri de vasıta ederek Osmanlı Devleti ile ortak düşmana karşı işbirliği içerisine girme eğilimi içerisine girmişti. Bu süreç boyunca Rumen yetkililer, Türk esirlere olabildiğince iyi bir şekilde muamele etmiştir. Netice itibariyle Osmanlı Devleti ile Romanya arasında yapılan esir iade mukavelesi imzalanmıştı. Bu mukavele, Romanya Devleti’nin tanınması açısından oldukça önemliydi. İlk diplomatik temasların bu surette kurulmasından sonra Romanya ile Osmanlı Devleti arasında olan ilişkiler hız kazanmış, karşılıklı olarak diplomatik temsilcilikler ihdas edilmiştir. Netice itibariyle iki taraf arasında güvene dayalı bir siyaset başlamıştı. Romanya, özellikle Osmanlı Devleti tarafından tanınmasını önemsemiş, Osmanlı Devleti ise yeni kurulan devletin, Ruslarla arasına bir set çekeceğini düşünmüştü.
Algunos apuntes sobre la responsabilidad civil sanitaria ante la situación generada por el COVID-19
Authors: Ortiz Fernández Manuel
Published: August 2020

La situación generada por el COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) nos obliga a repensar el sistema de responsabilidad civil general y, dentro del mismo, el aplicable al ámbito sanitario. En este sentido, para determinar la adecuación de la conducta a la lex artis ad hoc se hace necesario reflexionar acerca del estado de la ciencia para determinar si los conocimientos permitían actuar en otro sentido. Desde nuestra perspectiva, no cabe reprochar aquellos actos que, no siendo los idóneos desde una perspectiva ex post, aparecían como los correctos con el conocimiento que se manejaba cuando se llevaron a cabo. Pues bien, en principio, existen argumentos suficientes para afirmar que no contamos, en la actualidad, con datos suficientes sobre el origen, las consecuencias y las características esenciales del virus y que, por tanto, no nos encontramos en un estadio de total dominio por parte de la comunidad científica. Este motivo provoca que podamos aplicar una moderación o limitación de responsabilidad sobre ciertos actos e, incluso, una ausencia de la misma. Además, contamos con mecanismos jurídicos que pueden invocarse en este sector para proceder en esta línea y que serán analizados brevemente.

Authors: Valési Raquel Helena , Gozzo Débora
Published: August 2020

O propósito do presente artigo é o de analisar o uso, no Brasil, dos medicamentos cloroquina e hidroxicloroquina, ainda que não se tenha evidência científica de que ele é capaz de ajudar na melhora dos pacientes com Covid-19. Como o uso deles pode acarretar uma série de efeitos colaterais, o médico deverá informar e esclarecer o paciente, de todos os riscos aos quais ele estará sujeito, na hipótese de consentir na aplicação da medicação. A autonomia do paciente, frente a um antigo paternalismo médico é ponto central aqui. Afinal, o consentimento informado e esclarecido, neste caso, é importante para o médico não ser responsabilizado por algum mal que possa acometer o paciente, por falta de informação.  Utilizou-se para a pesquisa do método da revisão bibliográfica e do método dedutivo.

Environmental Factors and Terminal Cancer Development- Review Article
Authors: Shingala Urmil
Published: August 2020

The cancerous method is a result of disturbed cell performance. This can be due to excess genetic and epigenetic changes inside the cell, expressed within the accumulation of body or molecular aberrations, that results in genetic instability. It's tough to assess the validity of individual factors which can cause a diseased condition; however, it can be suggested that interaction of various risk factors has the biggest contribution to cancer development and metastasis. Environmental and individual factors, together with genetic makeup contribute to the development of cancer. Medical research on malignant tumors has focused on the effects of environmental and genetic factors on cancer cases occurring and death rate. According to the information available, 80–90% of malignant tumors are a result of external environmental factors i.e. Carcinogens. Medical studies have indicated that the most factors leading to metastasis of cancer among humans are due to environmental factors which develop due to human activities. The studies show that smoking, excessive alcohol consumption and diet play an important role in metastasis of preexisting tumors. According to WHO, there might be ten million deaths by the end of 2020, out of which 7–8 million will be in developing countries and 2–3 million in developed countries. The aim of this study was to accumulate knowledge regarding the risk factors leading to metastasis of tumor and providing them with the most recent results.

PLATON II: New Capabilities and a Comprehensive Retrieval on HD 189733b Transit and Eclipse Data
Authors: Zhang Michael , Chachan Yayaati , Kempton Eliza M.-R. , Knutson Heather A. , Chang Wenjun (Happy)
Published: August 2020

Recently, we introduced PLanetary Atmospheric Tool for Observer Noobs (PLATON), a Python package that calculates model transmission spectra for exoplanets and retrieves atmospheric characteristics based on observed spectra. We now expand its capabilities to include the ability to compute secondary eclipse depths. We have also added the option to calculate models using the correlated-k method for radiative transfer, which improves accuracy without sacrificing speed. Additionally, we update the opacities in PLATON—many of which were generated using old or proprietary line lists—using the most recent and complete public line lists. These opacities are made available at R = 1000 and R = 10,000 over the 0.3–30 μm range, and at R = 375,000 in select near-IR bands, making it possible to utilize PLATON for ground-based high-resolution cross-correlation studies. To demonstrate PLATON’s new capabilities, we perform a retrieval on published Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and Spitzer transmission and emission spectra of the archetypal hot Jupiter HD 189733b. This is the first joint transit and secondary eclipse retrieval for this planet in the literature, as well as the most comprehensive set of both transit and eclipse data assembled for a retrieval to date. We find that these high signal-to-noise data are well matched by atmosphere models with a C/O ratio of

and a metallicity of

times solar where the terminator is dominated by extended nanometer-sized haze particles at optical wavelengths. These are among the smallest uncertainties reported to date for an exoplanet, demonstrating both the power and the limitations of HST and Spitzer exoplanet observations.
Dark Matter Deficient Galaxies Produced via High-velocity Galaxy Collisions in High-resolution Numerical Simulations
Authors: Shin Eun-jin , Jung Minyong , Kwon Goojin , Kim Ji-hoon , Lee Joohyun , Jo Yongseok , Oh Boon Kiat
Published: August 2020

The recent discovery of diffuse dwarf galaxies that are deficient in dark matter appears to challenge the current paradigm of structure formation in our universe. We describe numerical experiments to determine if so-called dark matter deficient galaxies (DMDGs) could be produced when two gas-rich, dwarf-sized galaxies collide with a high relative velocity of ∼300 km s−1. Using idealized high-resolution simulations with both mesh-based and particle-based gravito-hydrodynamics codes, we find that DMDGs can form as high-velocity galaxy collisions and separate dark matter from the warm disk gas, which subsequently is compressed by shock and tidal interaction to form stars. Then using the large simulated universe IllustrisTNG, we discover a number of high-velocity galaxy collision events in which DMDGs are expected to form. However, we did not find evidence that these types of collisions actually produced DMDGs in the TNG100-1 run. We argue that the resolution of the numerical experiment is critical to realizing the “collision-induced” DMDG formation scenario. Our results demonstrate one of many routes in which galaxies could form with unconventional dark matter fractions.

Madagascar is home to some of the largest and most colorful pygmy grasshoppers (Tetrigidae) in the world, known as ‘Malagasy Metrodorinae’. Among them, Devil’s pygmy grasshoppers (genus Holocerus Bolívar, 1887) are unique in having two long spines on the back, which are modified internal lateral pronotal carinae. The genus Holocerus was composed of two species – H. lucifer (Serville, 1838) and H. taurus Rehn, 1929 syn. nov., but here it is evidenced that the latter represents a junior synonym of the former. Simultaneously, H. devrieseisp. nov. is described as a species new to science. Holocerus lucifer is a northern species of paler coloration and longer spines (distributed from Marojejy and Maroantsetra in the north to Zahamena in the south), whereas H. devrieseisp. nov. represents the southern and darker species (distributed from Vohimana and Andasibe-Mantadia in the south to the Antongil Bay in the north). There are potential overlaps in the distribution of the two species, but without more georeferenced localities, it is impossible to discriminate whether they occur only sympatrically or also syntopically.
Insect pests as food and feed

Published: August 2020

When insects occur in large numbers, and these are often insect pests, people want to get rid of them. In countries where insects are already consumed, the idea of eating them is quickly formed. Harvesting them as food can be a strategy to replace other methods of control.
Pooled testing: A tool to increase efficiency of infant HIV diagnosis and virological monitoring
Authors: Preiser Wolfgang , Van Zyl Gert U.
Published: August 2020

Background: Pooled testing, or pooling, has been used for decades to efficiently diagnose relatively rare conditions, such as infection in blood donors. Programmes for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV and for antiretroviral therapy (ART) are being rolled out in much of Africa and are largely successful. This increases the need for early infant diagnosis (EID) of HIV using qualitative nucleic acid testing and for virological monitoring of patients on ART using viral load testing. While numbers of patients needing testing are increasing, infant HIV infections and ART failures are becoming rarer, opening an opportunity for pooled testing approaches.Aim: This review highlights the need for universal EID and viral load coverage as well as the challenges faced. We introduce the concept of pooled testing and highlight some important considerations before giving an overview of studies exploring pooled testing for EID and virological monitoring.Results: For ART monitoring, pooling has been shown to be accurate and efficient; for EID it has not been tried although modelling shows it to be promising. The final part attempts to place pooling into the context of current mother-to-child transmission of HIV and ART programmes and their expected trajectories over the next years.Conclusion: Several points warrant consideration: pre-selection to exclude samples with an elevated pre-test probability of positivity from pooled testing, the use of dried blood or plasma spots, and choosing a pooling strategy that is both practically feasible and economical. Finally, novel ideas are suggested to make pooling even more attractive.
Servant leadership as part of spiritual formation of theological students in contextualisation of 21st century theological training
Authors: Du Plessis Amanda L. , Nkambule Carol M.
Published: August 2020

The theory of servant leadership with its key concepts of servanthood and leadership has emerged during the last few decades. A person who has a heart for people and serves them whilst leading them practices servant leadership. Servant leaders are not motivated by attaining higher positions but by serving people. Leaders call people to follow a set vision. In the church, that vision ought to be a God vision, premised on the Word of God. Leaders in the church should lead people according to the guidance of the Bible and inspiration from God. He is the one who calls people, gives them an assignment and will require an account from them. The church has been in the spotlight in recent times because of the conduct of their leaders, who are the pastors assigned with the task of leading believers. Understanding the principles of servant leadership can contribute to spiritual formation of theological students in contextualisation of 21st century theological training. The article begins with a reflection on the findings of an empirical study, followed by a short view on the servant leadership of Moses, David, Paul and Jesus Christ. Thereafter, the article focuses on servant leadership characteristics and competencies or skills according to contemporary scholars, and the article concludes with a proposed model for servant leadership as part of spiritual formation of theological students.Contribution: Although the article is context specific to the Faculty of Theology, Mahikeng campus, the principles of servant leadership can contribute to the spiritual formation of all theological students and is especially relevant to the discourse of contextualised 21st century theological training.

Published: August 2020

Purpose:

To describe the multicolor imaging (MCI) features in a series of patients diagnosed with a choroidal nevus and compare it vis-à-vis color fundus photography (CFP) in identifying the lesion.

Methods:

In this retrospective, descriptive case series at a tertiary referral center in South India, all patients diagnosed with the choroidal nevus underwent CFP, optical coherence tomography, MCI, and infrared reflectance (IR) imaging.

Results:

In this study, we found that on MCI, the choroidal nevus could be identified in only six of the 12 eyes. The lesions were seen as an area of hyperreflectance on IR image and orange-colored lesion on multicolor image. In one eye, there was a mixed pattern of hyper and hyporeflectance on IR imaging. The remaining five eyes with choroidal nevus lesions were not identified on MCI.

Conclusion:

The variable features of the choroidal nevus on MCI are most likely due to the variable melanin content within the nevus cells. Further studies are needed to validate these findings.

Published: August 2020

PurposeTumor regression grade (TRG) has been widely used in gastrointestinal carcinoma to assess pathological responses to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT). There are various standards without a consensus, and it is still unclear which kind of system has better predictive value. This study aims to investigate and compare the predictive ability of the Mandard and Becker TRGs in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer. Materials and MethodsA total of 290 patients with locally advanced gastric adenocarcinoma who underwent NCT and curative surgery were studied. Survival analysis for overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were based on the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards method. Predictive values of TRGs and models were assessed by time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the area under the ROC curve (AUC), nomogram, and calibration curve. ResultsIn multivariable analysis, the Mandard TRG was associated with OS (hazard ratio [HR], 1.806; p=0.026) and DFS (HR, 1.792; p=0.017). The Becker TRG was also related to OS (HR, 1.880; p=0.014) and DFS (HR, 1.919; p=0.006). The Mandard and Becker TRG AUCs for 5-year survival were 0.72 and 0.71, respectively. The whole models showed an increased predictive value, with AUCs of 0.85 and 0.86, respectively. There was no significant difference between the two TRGs and two models.ConclusionTRG was an independent predictor for survival, and there was no significant difference between these two systems.

Published: August 2020

An ordered hypergraph is a hypergraph whose vertex set is linearly ordered, and a convex geometric hypergraph is a hypergraph whose vertex set is cyclically ordered. Extremal problems for ordered and convex geometric graphs have a rich history with applications to a variety of problems in combinatorial geometry. In this paper, we consider analogous extremal problems for uniform hypergraphs, and determine the order of magnitude of the extremal function for various ordered and convex geometric paths and matchings. Our results generalize earlier works of Braß–Károlyi–Valtr, Capoyleas–Pach, and Aronov–Dujmovič–Morin–Ooms-da Silveira. We also provide a new variation of the Erdős-Ko-Rado theorem in the ordered setting.

Three Buses: The Escape of the Ukrainians from Poland in the 1980s, its Invisibility in Migration Studies and why they are not “Polish migrants”

The aim of the text is to reflect on the absence in Polish migration studies of research on the emigration of members of national / ethnic minorities from Poland in the 1980s, on the example of Ukrainians. The author presents the causes and course of emigration of Polish citizens of Ukrainian nationality in the last decade of the Polish People’s Republic, highlighting the consequences of this migration for the Ukrainian diaspora in Canada, the Ukrainian national minority in Poland and for the migrants themselves. The author undertakes a discussion with literature which defines Polish emigrants of the 1980s to Canada and Western Europe as “Polish emigrants”, pointing out the differences between migration motivations and adaptation strategies of Polish and Ukrainian migrants in the 1980s. The article also discusses the attitudes of Ukrainian emigrants towards the country of origin, the impact of their minority condition in the People’s Republic of Poland on their new identity in their host country as well as lifestyle choices.

Strzeszczenie

Celem tekstu jest namysł nad nieobecnością zagadnienia migracji członków mniejszości narodowych/etnicznych w polskich studiach migracyjnych dotyczących wyjazdów z Polski w latach 80. XX wieku na przykładzie Ukraińców. Autorka prezentuje przyczyny i przebieg emigracji obywateli polskich narodowości ukraińskiej w ostatniej dekadzie PRL, wskazuje na konsekwencje tej migracji dla diaspory ukraińskiej w Kanadzie, ukraińskiej mniejszości narodowej w Polsce oraz dla samych migrantów. Podejmuje dyskusję z literaturą, która określa emigrantów z Polski z lat 80. XX w. do Kanady i Europy Zachodniej jako „polskich emigrantów” zasilających Polonię, wskazując na różnice między motywacjami migracyjnymi i strategiami adaptacyjnymi polskich i ukraińskich migrantów w latach 80. XX w. Omawia również postawy ukraińskich emigrantów wobec kraju pochodzenia, wpływ ich mniejszościowej kondycji w PRL na dokonywane w nowym kraju wybory tożsamościowe i w zakresie stylu życia.
