Published: August 2021

Chordomas of the skull-base are typically slow-growing, notochord-derived tumors that most commonly originate along the clivus. Skull base chordoma is treated with surgery and radiotherapy. Local recurrence approaches 50% at 10 years. Radiologists play a critical role in diagnosis, treatment planning, and follow-up. Surgeons and radiation oncologists rely on radiologists for pre-operative delineation of tumor and adjacent anatomy, identification of post-treatment changes and disease recurrence, and radiation treatment effects. This review provides an overview of clinical characteristics, surgical anatomy, indications for radiotherapy, identification of treatment complications, and patterns of disease recurrence for radiologists to provide value in the management of these lesions.

Published: August 2021

Objectives:

High dose factor prophylaxis in hemophilia has been proven to prevent joint bleeds in the western world effectively. We look for a cost-effective and feasible way for Indian patients to reduce the dose and frequency of factor infusion. Data on prophylaxis with a low dose, long-acting factor infusion twice a week dosing schedule is limited. The purpose was to study the efficacy and safety of long-acting factor VIII (Eloctate) for secondary/ tertiary prophylaxis in pediatric and young adult patients with moderate and severe hemophilia A.

Materials and Methods:

Thirty-eight patients with moderate and severe hemophilia A with an age range from 1 to 25 years were included in the study. During the initial 4 months, they received therapeutic doses of ELOCTATE (Factor VIII with Fc Fusion Protein) on an episodic basis after a clinical bleed. In the next 4 months, they received prophylactic intravenous ELOCTATE at the dose of 20 units/kg body weight twice a week. Annual bleeding rates (ABR), school absenteeism, emergency visits, joint scores, and adverse events were compared during both periods.

Results:

The total number of joint bleeds during the episodic treatment and prophylaxis period was 608 and 67, respectively. ABR was 47.9 during the episodic treatment period and 5.3 during prophylaxis showing an 88.9% reduction in joint bleeds. School/college absenteeism and emergency visits were significantly reduced during prophylaxis. No significant adverse events were noted during prophylaxis.

Conclusion:

Low dose, twice a week, and long-acting recombinant factor VIII-Fc (Eloctate) prophylaxis can be a reasonable options for patients with hemophilia A in developing countries.
Myxopapillary ependymomas; proximity to the conus and its effect on presentation and outcomes
Authors: Helal Ahmed , Mikula Anthony L. , Laack Nadia N. , Krauss William E. , Clarke Michelle J.
Published: August 2021

Background:

Myxopapillary ependymomas (MPE) are intradural spinal tumors with a predilection to the filum terminale. Damage to conus medullaris during surgery can result in sphincteric and sexual dysfunction. The purpose of this study is to determine how myxopapillary ependymoma proximity to the conus impacts patient presentation, extent of resection, and clinical outcomes.

Methods:

Fifty-one patients who underwent surgical resection of pathologically confirmed myxopapillary ependymoma with at least 1 year of follow-up were included in the study. We collected initial presenting symptoms, distance of the tumor from the conus, extent of resection, and postoperative clinical outcomes including bladder dysfunction.

Results:

Average age was 38 years (range 7–75 years) with a male to female ratio of 1.43:1. Patients most commonly presented with pain symptoms (88%), and 12 patients (23.5%) had urologic symptoms on presentation. The mean tumor distance from the tip of the conus was 1.60 cm (10 cm above to 21 cm below the tip of the conus). Patients with tumors in contact with the conus had a significantly higher rate of preoperative urinary symptoms and were more likely (32% vs. 14%) to suffer postoperative urinary sphincteric disturbances. Tumors with direct invasion of the conus medullaris were more likely to require intralesional resection and fail to achieve a gross total resection (GTR).

Conclusion:

Patients with MPE in close proximity to the conus were more likely to suffer from long-term morbidity related to urologic issues following surgical resection. Adjuvant radiotherapy may be a viable option for patients who fail to achieve GTR.
Purely extradural spinal meningioma: A case report and literature review
Authors: Shui Cher , Turchini John , Davies Mark
Published: August 2021

Background:

Purely extradural spinal meningiomas (ESMs) are exceptionally rare and are often incorrectly diagnosed as metastases, hematological malignancies, or schwannomas. Here, we report a 66-year-old female who presented with an isolated extradural ESM.

Case Description:

A 66-year-old female presented with a 2.5-year history of a progressive paraparesis (i.e. T7 level) associated with a T5 sensory level. The MR showed a heterogeneously enhancing lesion circumferentially involving the spinal cord from T3 to T5, with left-sided T4/5 foraminal extension. Following a Simpson Grade 2 resection, the patient rapidly recovered full neurological function.

Conclusion:

The vast majority of the rarely encountered purely ESM are benign. Although gross total resection is optimal, additional adjunctive treatments are available for those treated with subtotal resections.

Published: August 2021

This study depends on the analysis content by used semio-sociological approach in the interpretation of proverbs through selection of a group of the Palestinian proverbs associated with the resistance dimension. Many studies of proverbs did not address this type of interpretation. Moreover, many of these studies were not up to the desired methodological level because of the proverb’s varied associations with the general life. In its sociological context, the proverb stemmed from a sensory human experience, expressed in simple language. It was able to portray the life of the human through their immersion into the action framework that awakened the collective conscience which rejected the oppressive reality, which drew the differing paths of the proverb and left some margin for explicating the current crisis and how to deal with it. Since the resistant proverb is a part of the cultural landscape, it was in harmony with the novel, poem, drawing and poetry in a revolting image that stressed confrontation as well as rejection of weakness and subjection. It also succeeded in expressing an identity that embodied awareness about the suffering of human reality in all its concise and deep dimensions and historical and social framework. Despite the fact that the proverb is subsumed under the duality of subjection and revolt, the two researchers opted to address the resistant side of it, through a Palestinian model whose space abounds in a movement that bestowed a deep constructivist dimension on the Palestinian landscape. This is parallel with the current objective contexts that the Palestinian society is undergoing. Therefore, this study proceeded along three results, the first results of the interpretive structure of the denotations of the proverb and its projections on the symbols of time and place, secondly the proverb denotations and projections on plantation, animals, the third of the interpretive structure of the denotations of the proverb and its projections on the humans.

This study evaluates how motivation influences the academic performances of university students. The sample includes 400 higher education students attending different universities in Saudi Arabia. The questionnaire was the data gathering method that was chosen by the researcher to complete this study. The study reveals that both intrinsic and extrinsic motivations positively impact the academic performance of students. Academic performance increased by a percentage increase of between 23% and 34 %. Overall, the model showed a significant jump (p<0,05). The researcher found that the individual elements associated with extrinsic motivation -- rejection of alternative options: increase by 17%; career and qualifications: increase by 9%; social enjoyment: increase by 7%; social pressure: increase by 4%. The researcher also found that both intrinsic and extrinsic motivations are critical elements in the academic success of students and student's performances that tend to consistently fluctuate between good and average/poor. Their performance seems to be guided by the presence of an external reward. Further studies are needed to determine if intrinsically motivated students can be further motivated.

Authors: Kesari Singh  , Nisha Singh
Published: August 2021

INTRODUCTION: While online learning has the ability to bring students and teachers together in the Distance Education (DE) mode, it is not feasible in the healthcare based professions. AIM: To analyze healthcare students’ perceptions towards online learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic. MATERIALS AND METHOD: This qualitative, focus group-based study was done on the three focus groups consisting of 15 students each: medical, dental and allied sciences. Data were collected using observations from the recordings of the scheduled online interview which was approximately 30-minutes in length and the investigator asked questions from the pre-validated interview guide consisting of seven questions. Data was analyzed using the constant comparative method, which was then consequently categorized into two major areas: positive experiences and negative experiences. Positive experiences included: time flexibility, convenience, ease of connection and ease of learning; while negative experiences included instructor’s inexperience and a lack of interaction, self-motivation, isolation and missing out on practical learning. RESULTS: While responses of the positive experience ranged from “I have the flexibility to wake up few minutes before the lecture and directly log on for the lecture” to “Even during the closure of schools/ classes, I need not worry about lagging behind in my studies”; the negative experiences included statements like “the inexperience of the instructor in handling the teaching software led to difficulties and interruption in learning” and “I am a great loss due to missing patient work!! How am I going to become a good doctor if I don’t practise on patients under supervision of my staff”. CONCLUSION: While students are slowly adapting themselves to online based learning, those belonging to the healthcare sector are missing out on their practical classes which has the potential to hamper the quality of care being provided by them as future professionals.

Published: August 2021

Statins are an important group of lipid lowering medications that have helped to control cardiovascular mortality globally. Muscular side effects, mostly myalgia, is a known adverse event of statins. Intense physical activity, kidney or liver failure, hypothyroidism, inherited or metabolic myopathies, and some medications, are risk factors for statin-induced myalgia. Muscular adverse events are more often observed with higher doses or with the use of lipophilic statins. Much is not known about the precise mechanisms responsible for the statin related muscular adverse effects, a few hypothesis have been suggested. It is important to measure plasma creatine phosphokinase in subjects who encounter myalgia while being treated with statins.

The article covers the problem the multidimensional routing of flights for the transportation of cargo and mail, with the condition of the corresponding equipment presence for performing navigation of increased precision to obtain the possibility of the formation flights under any weather conditions. The given circumstances are capably essential to reduce load while using the airspace, which will make it possible to achieve transportation independent of its saturation. While planning the routes it is also necessary to consider the interests of different interested groups, which are often opposite to one another. In the view of the different directivity of the tasks in question, the solution can require the sorting as excessively as large, so the smaller quantity of possible situations (versions of the solution), the lower the level of the calculation of these versions is, and the greater their quantity is. The exact example of multidimensional routing, which is affected by the interests of operational nature and the interests of the urgency of the performance of the claims, expressed by weight coefficients, is depicted in this work. The only version in favour of the general production process, which is obtained with the help of a genetic algorithm, is a solution of this problem. It was necessary to introduce some designations and assumptions, the enumeration of which can be supplemented. Optimal solution can be obtained both by the enumeration of the solution versions and with the help of the genetic algorithm, which is allowed for a smaller number of iterations, to obtain suboptimal in real time, which corresponds to the conditions of the task solution. In that the example dynamic priorities are assigned, based on multiplicative form by expert evaluation, which form criteria for the ranking of request for each step of route planning. As a result, there are the exact versions of the solution, which correspond to the interests of different groups and the version, obtained with the help of a genetic algorithm, which satisfy the opposite interests of these groups. All versions of the solution are proved to be different, which indicates the need of applying the objective and substantiated apparatus for making the decision, which the genetic algorithm actually is. The proposed mathematical apparatus has prospects for implementation.

The development of the aviation transport system is characterized by sophistication of interacting objects, the multi-criteria nature of the tasks to be solved and difficulties in making management decisions. For example, modern medium haul aircraft are fitted with up to 25,000 sensors to monitor the performance capabilities of functional systems components. Numerous ground-based instrumental methods and means of diagnosing the technical condition are used. This requires the development of methods and algorithms for determining and monitoring the criteria of limiting state of the monitored components and functional systems of aeronautical equipment. In this regard, analytical models of predictive estimate for the technical condition of aeronautical equipment, determination of aircraft maintenance modes and provision of spare parts and materials become essential. The paper proposes a scheme of the aircraft fleet maintenance system modeling algorithm and deducing the mathematical model of the optimal number of aircraft states in order to exclude secondary and subjective factors. The method of statistical modeling based on Markov processes with discrete states and continuous time is the basis of the proposed analytical model. The proposed method is reduced to the synthesis of some modeling algorithm of the investigated process that simulates the complex system components behavior and interaction as well as random perturbing factors. A distinctive feature of the presented algorithm is determination of the predominant estimated dependences of transition probabilities and intensities taking into account the requirements of the modern regulatory framework in terms of reliability of equipment and diagnosing the technical condition. The analysis of the predominant estimated dependencies study results in the conditions of operation of the aircraft maintenance system confirmed a high degree of correlation of the time duration effect on the particular states in order to diagnose the technical condition depending on the diagnostic concept. The proposed simulation model can be used for the aircraft technical condition predictive estimate, aircraft gas turbine engines and functional systems.

Abstract

 

Last mile delivery is the logistics transportation segment that has the most negative impacts and more likely to occur in urban areas. This negative impact will be felt by the urban citizens whose quality of life is guaranteed by the city administrator. On the other hand, logistics operators have limitations in changing their operating systems. The purpose of this study is to identify the gaps in the views of each stakeholder in realizing a solution to logistical problems, namely the Urban Consolidation Center, B20 Fuel, Limited Traffic Zone, and Fleet Renewal. Survey methods through questionnaires and interviews with logistics operators and city or govern-ment administrators were carried out to get each party's views on problems. This study shows that, although both parties still lack knowledge of solutions to logistical problems, it is possible to implement these solutions.

 

Keywords: gap; last mile delivery; logistics transportation; logistics operator; urban area.

 

 

Abstrak

 

Last mile delivery merupakan segmen transportasi logistik yang paling banyak menuai dampak negatif serta mayoritas terjadi di kawasan urban. Dampak negatif tersebut akan dirasakan oleh masyarakat luas yang kualitas hidupnya menjadi tanggungan administrator kota. Di sisi lain, operator logistik memiliki keterbatasan dalam mengubah sistem operasinya. Tujuan penelitian ini ialah mengidentifikasi gap pandangan masing-masing pe-mangku kepentingan dalam mewujudkan suatu solusi terhadap permasalahan logistik, yaitu Urban Consolida-tion Center, Bahan bakar B20, Limited Traffic Zone, serta Pembaruan Armada. Metode survei melalui kuisioner dan wawancara kepada operator logistik dan administrator kota atau pemerintah dilakukan untuk mendapatkan pandangan masing-masing pihak terhadap masalah-masalah. Studi ini menunjukkan bahwa, walaupun kedua belah pihak masih memiliki pengetahuan yang kurang akan solusi permasalahan logistik, solusi tersebut mungkin untuk diimplementasikan.

Application of Experiential Teaching in the Reform of College Students’ Mental Health Course from the Perspective of Life Education
Authors: Li Jiaojiao , Chen Mei
Published: August 2021

In recent years, the phenomenon of college students’ indifference to life occurs frequently which seriously damages the healthy growth of college students. Life education should be integrated into mental health education courses in colleges.  Experiential teaching is a type of teaching activity that is characterized by students’ personal experiences and initiative, focusing on the participation of practical activities. Compared with traditional lectures, it improves students’ interest and enthusiasm. In the mental health course, experiential teaching applies theoretical knowledge to real life and promote the improvement of students’ mental health to shape stable and mature personalities and eventually, promotes the development of life. College students’ mental health course should be integrated with experiential teaching practice in the perspective of life education, so as to better improve the teaching effect and guide students to form a correct outlook of life.

Authors: Zhang Xiaojing
Published: August 2021

This paper describes a half-year in-service Language Teacher Education (LTE) program, targeting the trainee teachers who work in Chinese private English institutes. This is to better prepare them at the outset of their career. Primarily intending to build the trainee teachers’ professionalism and raise their awareness, an overall illustration of adopted training courses and choice of activities are introduced in this paper. Focusing on integrating instructional knowledge from ESL and English language teaching, the LTE program schedule will allow majority of readers to implement during their daily teaching and research activities. Principles underpinning this program design are illustrated one by one. A course like this may not foster all teachers to become professionals at once, but to be a reflective practitioner can be a reachable goal, as accumulation of professional expertise is based on teachers’ capability of understanding how to reflect on teaching.
