Clustering and constrained inversion of seismic refraction and gravity data for overburden stripping: Application to uranium exploration in the Athabasca Basin, Canada
Authors: Darijani Mehrdad , Farquharson Colin G. , Lelièvre Peter G.
Published: June 2020

Gravity signatures from features associated with the footprints of uranium deposits within the sandstones and basement of the Athabasca Basin are masked in the measured gravity by the contribution from glacial sediments (overburden), in particular by the variable thickness of the overburden. The 2D inversions of seismic refraction and gravity data are assessed as a means of reliably mapping overburden thickness, enabling the contribution to gravity from the overburden to be taken into account and density anomalies associated with deeper mineralization and alteration to be reconstructed through further inversion. Results show that independent inversion of seismic refraction data using the fuzzy c-means clustering method is able to determine the base of overburden well. Subsequent gravity inversion constrained by the overburden thickness reveals possible subtle density variations at depth, which could be associated with alteration in the sandstones associated with the uranium mineralization. Application of the seismic clustering inversion followed by constrained gravity inversion to both representative synthetic scenarios and real data from the Athabasca Basin, Canada, are considered. Drill-hole data show that the inversion results can predict the base of the overburden well, and there is an acceptable match between geologic information and possible alteration zones suggested by the inversions.

Published: June 2020

Context

The gonads are the major source of sex steroids during reproductive ages. The gonadal function declines abruptly in women and gradually in men. The adrenals produce 11-oxygenated androgens (11-oxyandrogens), which start rising during adrenarche. Following menopause, 11-oxyandrogens levels remain similar to reproductive ages.

Objective

To compare the circulating 11-oxyandrogen concentrations in men and women across adult ages.

Methods

We used mass spectrometry to measure testosterone (T), androstenedione (A4), 11β-hydroxytestosterone (11OHT), 11-ketotestosterone (11KT), 11β-hydroxyandrostenedione (11OHA4), 11-ketoandrostenedione (11KA4), cortisol, and cortisone in morning sera obtained from adults in outpatient setting. We performed double immunofluorescence of 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 and cytochrome b5 in adrenal tissue from 19 men, age 23–78 years.

Results

We included 590 patients (319 men), aged 18 to 97 years, and 84% white. 11KT and 11KA4 were stable across ages in women, but they declined in men (0.21 and 0.06 ng/dL/year, respectively; P < 0.05). 11OHA4 and 11OHT increased modestly with age in women (0.6 and 0.09 ng/dL/year, respectively; P < 0.01), and both remained stable across ages in men. As body mass index (BMI) increased, 11KA4 decreased in women, and 11KT increased in men, both suggesting higher 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity in obese individuals. A4 and T declined with age and A4 with BMI in both sexes; T declined with BMI in men. Adrenal androgenic enzyme expressions in aging men were similar to those observed in women.

Conclusions

In contrast with traditional androgens, the production of 11OHA4 and 11OHT is sustained with aging in both sexes. The bioactive androgen 11KT declines in aging men but not in women.
Decline of a Confucian Mecca: Development of Rice Farming and Regional Development in Chosŏn Korea
Authors: Kim Sung Woo
Published: June 2020

The object of the analysis of this article is Sŏnsan County, the most advanced agricultural region of the Chosŏn Dynasty during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. This advanced region, however, started to go downhill from the sixteenth century and declined further in the seventeenth century. The rise and fall of Sŏnsan was closely tied with its geographical and irrigation conditions. The region, located around the Naktong River, the greatest river in Kyŏngsang Province, had favorable conditions for development in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries with the spread of the farming method of broadcast seeding to wet rice fields (水耕直播法) and the active development of both plains and hilly areas. But, this area faced adverse conditions in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries when the new farming method of transplanting rice seedlings (移秧法) was widely introduced, shifting development to more mountainous regions.
Separate but Engaged: Human Subjectivity in the Poetry of Tasan Chŏng Yagyong
Authors: Torrey Deberniere
Published: June 2020

Tasan Chŏng Yagyong’s (1762–1836) philosophy is often noted for its departure from the mainstream Neo-Confucian thought of his time, particularly for its conception of the human mind as being distinguished from the cosmos. This aspect of Tasan’s philosophy implies a new paradigm of human subjectivity, which would have ramifications for his creative work. Thus, the question: How does this new subjectivity manifest itself in Tasan’s poetry? This paper analyses the characteristics of Tasan’s social poems that reflect his distinctive paradigm as follows: ethnic self-consciousness, heightened realism, oppositional images, anthropocentric themes, and a poetics of subject-object independence. Tasan’s distinctive subjectivity differs from the mainstream poetic trends of his time, but its moral engagement with the object of social malaise nonetheless remains faithful to the ethical goals of classical Confucianism.
Improved Perioperative Seroma and Complication Rates Following the Application of a 2-Layer Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System After Inguinal Lymphadenectomy for Metastatic Cutaneous Melanoma
Authors: Moncrieff Marc D. , Sharma Riti A. , Gathura Esther , Heaton Martin J.
Published: June 2020

Background

Perioperative complications following inguinal lymphadenectomy, including seroma formation, are frequent. We have employed a 2-layer negative pressure wound therapy (2-LNPWT) as a method to reduce seroma rate and perioperative complications. We present the outcome of our initial experience with 2-LNPWT and compare the outcomes of its use with traditional closed suction drains (CSDs).

Materials and methods

A non-randomised retrospective case–control series was analysed. Surgeons performing inguinal lymphadenectomy for metastatic cutaneous melanoma utilised either the 2-LNPWT therapy or traditional CSDs according to their practice preference.

Results

The study included 111 patients. The cohorts were well matched for gender, disease burden, body mass index and comorbidities. The 2-LNPWT technique was associated with significantly better postoperative outcomes than CSD, in terms of incidence of seroma formation (26.9% vs 49.4%; p < 0.03), period of drainage (15 days vs 20 days; p = 0.005) and return to theatre rate (0% vs 15.3%; p = 0.03). The overall seroma rate was 44.1%. The only significant association with seroma initiation was the type of drainage system used (2-LNPWT 31.2% vs CSD 58.3%; p < 0.03; OR 3.0). The method of drainage did not alter the course of an established seroma. There was no significant difference in overall or disease-specific survival detected between the 2 groups.

Conclusion

This retrospective non-randomised case control study has demonstrated the safe use of a novel application of negative pressure wound therapy that significantly reduced the incidence of seroma formation and postoperative complication rate for inguinal lymphadenectomy for melanoma.

Published: June 2020

Background

Subtotal gastrectomy with Billroth II reconstruction (SGB2) results in increased gastric pH and diminished gastric barrier. Increased gastric pH following PPI therapy has an impact on the gut microbiome, intestinal inflammation, and possibly patient health. If similar changes are present after SGB2, these can be relevant for patient health and long-term outcomes after surgery. The aim of the study is to investigate whether SGB2 is associated with specific changes in gut microbiome composition and intestinal inflammation.

Patients and Methods

This cross-sectional proof-of-concept study includes patients after SGB2 (n = 14) for early gastric cancer and their nongastrectomized in-house relatives as controls (n = 8). Fecal microbiome composition, intestinal inflammation (fecal calprotectin), gut permeability (DAO, LBP, sCD14), systemic inflammation (CRP) markers, and gastrointestinal symptoms are investigated. This study is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03418428).

Results

Microbiome oralization following SGB2 was defined by an increase inEscherichia–Shigella,Enterococcus,Streptococcus, and other typical oral cavity bacteria (Veillonella,Oribacterium, andMogibacterium) abundance. The fecal calprotectin was increased in the SGB2 group [100.9 (52.1; 292) vs. 25.8 (17; 66.5);p = 0.014], and calprotectin levels positively correlated with the abundance ofStreptococcus(rs = 0.639;padj = 0.023). Gastrointestinal symptoms in SGB2 patients were associated with distinct taxonomic changes of the gut microbiome.

Conclusions

SGB2 is associated with oralization of the gut microbiome; intestinal inflammation and microbiome changes were associated with gastrointestinal symptoms. These novel findings may open gut microbiome as a new target for therapy to improve quality of life and general patient health in long-term survivors after SGB2.

A Transdisciplinary COVID-19 Early Respiratory Intervention Protocol: An Implementation Story
Authors: Westafer Lauren M , Elia Tala , Medarametla Venkatrao , Lagu Tara
Published: June 2020

My colleague asked, “Do you remember that patient?” I froze because, like most emergency physicians, this phrase haunts me. It was the early days of the COVID-19 epidemic, and the story that followed was upsetting. A patient who looked comfortable when I admitted him was intubated hours later by the rapid response team who was called to the floor. All I could think was, “But he looked so comfortable when I admitted him; he was just on a couple of liters of oxygen. Why was he intubated?”

In the days after COVID-19 arrived in our region, there were many such stories of patients sent to the floor from the Emergency Department who were intubated shortly after admission. Many of those patients subsequently endured prolonged and complicated courses on the ventilator. While we would typically use noninvasive modalities such as high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) or noninvasive ventilation (NIV) for acute respiratory failure, our quickness to intubate was driven by two factors: (1) early reports that noninvasive modalities posed a high risk of failure and subsequent intubation and (2) fear that HFNC and NIV would aerosolize SARS-CoV-2 and unnecessarily expose the heath care team.1 We would soon find out that our thinking was flawed on both accounts.
Open-label, randomised, multicentre crossover trial assessing two-layer compression bandaging for chronic venous insufficiency: results of the APRICOT trial
Authors: Jonker Leon , Todhunter Jane , Robinson Lesley , Fisher Stacey
Published: June 2020

Compression bandaging is the mainstay therapy for chronic venous insufficiency and venous leg ulcers, but patient compliance can be challenging due to associated discomfort. The study discussed here aimed to compare AndoFlex TLC Calamine and Coban2 compression bandaging in relation to patient comfort and pruritus symptomology, with severity of pruritus as the primary outcome. This was a multi-centre, prospective, non-blinded, randomised controlled crossover trial involving 39 randomised patients with chronic venous insufficiency patients. In two periods, the patients wore AndoFlex TLC Calamine or Coban2 for 3 weeks each. No significant differences in validated pruritus outcome measures were observed, including a non-significant treatment effect for the severity of pruritus scale (n=35 trial completers; p-value=0.24, Wilcoxon test). However, after trying both bandages, 21 of the 35 patients (60%) definitely preferred AndoFlex TLC Calamine, whereas 4 patients (11%) definitely preferred Coban2. Thus, AndoFlex TLC Calamine compression bandage therapy was preferred by most patients, although this observation could not be confirmed using validated patient-reported outcome measures for pruritus. Further research is indicated to establish if patient preference translates into favourable clinical outcomes.

Musculoskeletal system part 1
Authors: Deighton Robert
Published: June 2020

The clinical examination is an important part of any patient consultation. After the primary survey and taking the patient history, a more in-depth examination is sometimes required to aid making a working diagnosis and help negate other differential diagnoses. The extent of this depends on the stability of the patient and may not be possible in time-critical circumstances. However, clinical examination is an increasing part of paramedic practice owing to the continued expansion of the scope of the paramedic role in both urgent and emergency care. Education on clinical examination concerning each of the main body systems is now an integral part of undergraduate paramedic curricula.

This clinical examination series provides a step-by-step overview for each of the main body systems. Continuing professional development (CPD) is an essential requirement for all clinicians to maintain and to demonstrate that they are staying up to date and advancing in their roles.

This series gives an overview of each type of examination to support students, newly qualified paramedics and paramedics wishing to use these articles as a CPD development activity and an aide-memoire for clinical practice. This article, which explores the the upper musculoskeletal system, gives an overview of initial examination considerations.

Effects of nonlinear loss in high-Q Si ring resonators for narrow-linewidth III-V/Si heterogeneously integrated tunable lasers
Authors: Xiang Chao , Jin Warren , Guo Joel , Williams Coleman , Netherton Andrew M. , Chang Lin , Morton Paul A. , Bowers John E.
Published: June 2020

High-Q Si ring resonators play an important role in the development of widely tunable heterogeneously integrated lasers. However, while a high Q-factor (Q > 1 million) is important for ring resonators in a laser cavity, the parasitic high-power density in a Si resonator can deteriorate the laser performance at high power levels due to nonlinear loss. Here, we experimentally show that this detrimental effect can happen at moderate power levels (a few milliwatts) where typical heterogeneously integrated lasers work. We further compare different ring resonators, including extended Si ring resonators and Si3N4 ring resonators and provide practical approaches to minimize this effect. Our results provide explanations and guidelines for high-Q ring resonator designs in heterogeneously integrated tunable lasers, and they are also applicable for hybrid integrated butt-coupled lasers.

The Effect of Food and Energy Security on Political Stability
Authors: Mohamed Taher Sassi
Published: June 2020

Since both food security and energy security are countries strategic objective, this study typically advocates a deep understanding of the concept of political stability to incorporate food and energy security as a new pillar of conflict management based on an empirical understanding of the nexus and its effect. We used food deficit as proxy for food security and energy imports for energy security from the World Bank database. Using the panel fixed effect method on data for more than 150 countries from 2008 to 2016, we identified a highly significant positive effect of economic growth, tourism and high institutional quality on stability. Destabilizing factors were also detected such as corruption and arable land scarcity. The negative effect of food insecurity was illustrated after the introduction of the squared term of food deficit. Energy imports also have a destabilizing effect. These results for the effect of food and energy security effect holds robust to various control of other determinants in our regression. This study calls for more attention to the energy and food strategy within a country. Keeping peace and stability in the world will require development effort and technological exchange between countries in terms of food strategy and renewable energy plans. These measures will boost economic growth and improve the quality of institutions which will help fighting corruption.

Published: June 2020

Mango production has been having a great economical expression in the Brazilian agriculture. However, the economic crisis and increased competitiveness of the international market required improvements in the crop efficiency for its sustainability. In this context, the objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of different irrigation system on the physiology and fruit yield and quality of Palmer mango trees in the semiarid conditions of the Lower Middle São Francisco Valley, Brazil. The experiment was carried out at the Agranvil Farm, in Petrolina, state of Pernambuco, Brazil, with harvests in July 2013 and October 2014. A randomized block statistical design was used, with four treatments replicated in 5 blocks, during two production cycles. The treatments consisted of four irrigation systems: one micro sprinkler under the plant canopy (MSPC); drip system with two lateral lines per plant row (DSLL); one micro sprinkler between plants (MSBP); and ring-shaped drip system around the plants (RSDS). All treatments provided a flow rate of 56 L h-1 plant-1. The physiological characteristics evaluated were: photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, leaf transpiration, and leaf temperature. Fruit yield, quantity, mean weight, volume, soluble solid content, titratable acidity (TA), density, and pulp firmness were evaluated after the harvest. The evaluated treatments presented significant differences for the physiological variables. The treatment DSLL provided higher number of fruits and fruit yield, and the treatment MSBP provided the lowest results for these variables.

JALAN ILLUMINASI DALAM MISTISISME HAZRAT INAYAT KHAN (1882 -1927)
Authors: Nur Syaifan , Ulil Maizah Asna
Published: June 2020

Mysticism comes from the Greek word mystikos, which means secret, hidden, dark or veiled in darkness. Also means silence or shut up, which is the basic word of mysterion in ancient Greek. Mysticism leads to the study of the esoteric side of the spiritual life of people who believe, have faith, and have religion. Mysticism seeks to uncover the deepest secrets in the spiritual life. One of the roads used is the path of illumination. Illumination is the key to enlightenment desired by every human being. In illumination, the goal of humans is to obtain inner solutions, and their birth, there are many forms or patterns that must be approached, seen and felt. Moreover, it must really enter into it, the estuary of the self-surrender to the worldliness that must be faced with realization, secret spirit, calm and deeds.The path of illumination requires an initiation process as a basis for stepping into the search for true nature. Initiation as a basic change in essential conditions; initiation as a reference for every human being to start, aiming for something that leads to a better direction. Actually and verbally, as a listener, imitator and speaker, the initiator is able to know step by step to make an inner journey to get enlightenment that is felt to be very influential in his life. One of the famous mystics who explore this issue is Hazrat Inayat Khan. The complex problem of human uncertainty is one of the driving forces that gave birth to the great thoughts of a Hazrat Inayat Khan. Hazrat Inayat Khan’s view holds that humans as God’s creatures in the world must return to their consciousness, function, purpose and existence in the essence of mankind itself properly and correctly. Life must be in harmony because all God’s creatures are the same creation from God Almighty. The ultimate goal is to get the true nature.

Large business enterprises currently form the basis of both businesses in general and social development. The paper notes that the target existence of a large business enterprise is the ability to accumulate funds and create innovative products. It is noted that on the whole such elements are consolidated and gradually implemented in the social and economic environment of the state. The work uses econometric methods that allow fully revealing the reasons for differentiation of large business enterprises and determining the index parameters of the demand for development for the subsequent infrastructural transformation. It is pointed out that the effect of such activity is achieved not only as the profit received, but also in the overall perception of the commodity market. The novelty of the research is the indicators that the largest technological and structural companies that implement the majority of innovations at the core level of their system were analyzed and indices that evaluate in a comprehensive manner all possible types of innovations and the level of their implementation are provided. The direction of further research is the calculation of the possible institutional transformation of large business objects into state entities or objects with such characteristics.

Authors: SLEPOV Vladimir Alexandrovich , RODENKOVA Tatyana Nikolaevna , KOSOV Mikhail Evgenievich , GRISHIN Alexey Igorevich
Published: June 2020

In recent decades, human capital has become a key element in the development of countries all over the world. The consumer demand for complex products and services (the reflection of human capital in the field of consumption) can enhance the increase in financial and economic indicators. Accordingly, education in the modern economy should not be considered as a field that requires high costs, but rather as an investment field that determines the scale of economic growth. Meanwhile, the policy of financial support of higher education in Russia is still largely focused not on the contribution to the economic and social development of the country, but the internal problems of the system, relying on the notion of education as a sphere of social obligations. In this regard, the transformation of conceptual approaches to the financial management of universities, involving the improvement of the methods used and the development of new methods and models, is of particular relevance.

The study aims to develop the methods and models of university financial management given the modern conditions of financial support for educational institutions of higher education for the development of human capital. The research methods include a review of the scientific literature in this field, synthesis, and analysis of the information received, as well as comparison, formalization, and specification. The study identifies modern approaches to the financial management of Russian universities by assessing existing methods and models, as well as the specifics of financing universities in the current conditions of financial support for education.

Given the concept of a university as a self-learning organization within the framework of the new paradigm of financial management and human capital development, a system model of financial decision making should be used.

Library Education – Bracing for the Future?
Authors: Hapel Rolf
Published: June 2020

Over the last three decades, the societal changes caused by digitization have been monumental and libraries in many countries are among the institutions that were affected from the beginning. In this changing landscape of globally and rapidly evolving information technologies and upcoming social media with an abundance of readily and easily available information and data. This buffet is delivered through increasingly developed broad band networks, soon via 5G, so with the intense fight for attention by all information providers and mediators, it is no wonder that many libraries have engaged in change processes that are profoundly transforming library services, programs, organization, spatial layout, and the job content of library staff. A general movement away from libraries as transactional, book-and-collection focused institutions towards relational user and community focused organizations has been evident in this period. Not all libraries have taken a proactive stance to the change; a more reactive and reluctant approach to the societal and technological changes is not entirely uncommon, still, no library has been unaffected by the development. And the societal changes are continuing relentlessly as are the persistent speculations in and outside the library sector about the future of libraries. These societal changes and the transformation in library practices raise the question whether these changes are duly reflected in the library and information science education. This article examines the processes that have led to this ongoing transformation and discusses the choices we as library professionals are facing.
