Authors: Zhang Xiaoling
Published: April 2023

China has made great achievements in education since the start of its reform and opening up policy. The exploration of China's education reform has never stopped while facing the challenges of educational development in the new era. When it comes to education, the report of the 19th CPC National Congress proposed to “implement the fundamental task of Moral educationˮ and “make more contributions to nurturing socialist builders and successors with all-round development in morality, intelligence, physique, aesthetic and hard-working spirit. In the past few years, moral education was placed on the same important position as professional education and actively carried out in all levels of educational institutions such as primary and high schools, colleges and universities. Taking the general course “Introduction to Chinese Tea Cultureˮ offered by Chinese university as an example, this paper tries to discuss the teaching practice and reflection of “moral educationˮ in liberal studies. Focusing on the teaching implementation process of “Introduction to Chinese Tea Cultureˮ, the paper analyzes the development and the potential value of moral education, and the value of traditional Chinese culture to guiding the moral education in Chinese universities from the perspective of “cultural confidenceˮ. This paper analyzes the development of moral education teaching and the exploration of moral education potential in the implementation process of “Introduction to Chinese tea cultureˮ, aiming to analyze the value of Chinese excellent traditional culture in guiding moral education in Chinese Colleges and universities from the perspective of “cultural confidenceˮ. As a general course of liberal studies opened in Chinese universities in recent years, “Introduction to Chinese Tea Culture” contains great potential for moral education, which benefits from the rich cultural connotation, philosophical thought and humanistic spirit in Chinese traditional tea culture itself. It is necessary to dig deep into the spiritual connotation of Chinese tea culture to maximize the moral education role of this course.

Authors: Degovtsev Nikolai S. , Gorskaya Galina B. , Fomichenko Sergey V.
Published: April 2023

The analysis of literary sources showed the relevance of studying the disclosure of personal resources of athletes under the influence of the environment in the dynamics of the development of relationships, as well as the importance of studying a complex of relationships with various groups of people from the immediate social environment. Mutual understanding, support and satisfaction from communication in a social group are important conditions for the disclosure of the internal resources of the individual. The factor hindering the formation of self-esteem was the multidirectional influence on the self-esteem of adolescents of the family environment, peers and the coach. The purpose of the study was to test the assumption about the possibility of strengthening the self-esteem of adolescents through a targeted impact on their relationships with the immediate social environment. The assumption was tested in a formative experiment lasting six months, aimed at harmonizing the relationship of teenage athletes with a coach, parents, and comrades in joint training. The results of a six-month formative experiment showed that the applied methodology provided a solution to the problem. During the experiment, the phases of restructuring the relationship of adolescent athletes with the social environment were identified, including the destruction of the structure of existing relationships after three months and the formation of a new system of relations after six months. This indicates the need and importance of long-term influences that allow achieving a restructuring of the regulation of self-esteem and the need to be wary of short-term formative influences.
Psychological and pedagogical profile of the alpha generation
Authors: Danilova Larisa N.
Published: April 2023

In recent years, pedagogy has been widely promoting studying of needs, interests, values and capabilities of generation Z – the age group born at the turn of the millennium. The connection of their life with information and communication technologies explained the need of the educational system to reckon with this cohort’s traits for optimizing pedagogical processes. However, since 2010, foreign sociologists have been observing a new generation, the so-called Alpha, whose characteristics are a little different from Z, due to the even greater influence of digitalization; in fact, from birth. These are children who attend kindergartens and primary schools today. In 7 years, they will begin to enter professional training system, but one still has no clear ideas in education about the traits of the new cohort. This article strives to characterizing Alpha’s specifics. For that, we studied relevant literature in Russia and abroad, for several years had been observing two groups of children, and interviewed teachers for confirming or rejecting the characteristics of Alpha identified in empirical studies of previous years. As a result, it was found that, while such qualities as high creativity, leadership abilities, self-confidence, interests in various spheres of human activity are typical for the Alpha children, they are more than Z characterized with increased excitability, irascibility and egocentrism, which may affect the labor market formation in future.

Published: April 2023

This article discusses ways to control the formation of linguistic competence of students of non-linguistic directions of training in modern conditions of teaching foreign languages. Special attention is paid to such types of control as dictation, test, translation tasks and mental map, which can be effectively used both as part of the current control and during the final certification. There are different types of dictations: bilingual, monolingual, continuous and selective. The basic requirements for tests as one of the evaluation tools are established. The importance of translation tasks in the framework of monitoring the formation of students' language competence is noted. The role of creating mental maps and working with them in the integrated assimilation of new information, as well as in the development of creative abilities when learning foreign languages on the example of French and German, is emphasized. In the conditions of technologization of the educational process, new forms of conducting these types of control are proposed: online dictation, computer testing, creating mental maps using various Internet services. Attention is focused on training sites containing monolingual online dictation and tests designed for different age groups and levels of foreign language proficiency.

Authors: Al-Nasseri Yusra , Al-Maskari Juma , Al-Mamari Khamis
Published: April 2023

Background: The internship period is considered the mechanism that facilitates easy transition into the role ofbeginning-level staff nurse in an acute-care setting. During this transitional period, it is not only the learning andrefinement of technical skills that interns must master, but also includes maturation into the role of being aprofessionally licensed individual and the inherent responsibilities that accompany licensure (Duchsher, 2001).According to Beecroft, Kunzman, and Krozek (2001). It is through the transition process that the interns acquire thevalue, attitudes, and goals fundamental to the nursing profession and a sense of occupational identity.
Objectives: To assess the perception of new nursing graduates regarding the preceptor's influence in enhancingtheir clinical performance, competence and facilitate graduates' transition.
Methodology: A descriptive quantitative design, Sample: 73 nurses' interns selected from different hospitals. Purposive sampling method was used.
Results: The findings of this study revealed that, the graduates' perceived that, the preceptors do play a vital role infacilitating the graduates' transition in the clinical settings. They also agreed that, the preceptors have a greatinfluence among the graduates' in terms of enhancing their clinical performance, confidence, responsibility,accountability and foster in them positive skills to be competent nurses in their field of practice. The findings alsosuggested that, assigning one preceptor yielded better outcomes than assigning multiple preceptors. In fact, high level of satisfaction was obtained from the graduates with one preceptor more than the other group who wereassigned multiple ones. 
Conclusion: The internship period is considered a critical period for the new graduates. Having well planned program to support the graduates as well as assigning one preceptor to them facilitates their transition and enhances their clinical performance. The results illustrated that, the preceptors play a significant role to instill confidence related to skill development and nursing decision making. In addition to that, preceptor's continuity with one graduate builds up a strong relationship between them which resulted towards the end in high level of satisfaction among the graduates.
Recommendation: It is recommended to assign one preceptor only to the intern and shadow the preceptor in allshifts. Furthermore, a Comprehensive orientation program should be organized for the graduates and preceptors as well as a preceptorship programs in order to prepare all preceptors for their roles.

Published: April 2023

The implant-supported prosthesis is considered as an alternative to conventional techniques. This technique provides patients with a fixed solution; aesthetic and comfortable to replace one or more teeth and to preserve the adjacent teeth in their integrity. The placement of implant-supported prostheses in the anterior maxillary area requires a great deal of rigor and precision due to the optimal aesthetic requirements. However, environmental morphology is often affected by the amount of bone available as well as a thin periodontal biotype. Early identification of problems, careful analysis of treatment possibilities while respecting the biological imperatives associated with an adequate treatment sequence will make it possible to obtain an optimal functional and aesthetic result.

Published: April 2023

Compared to the rent of the house, it is difficult to grasp objective information. Among them, the purpose of this study is to analyze the determinants of monthly rent for small and medium-sized office buildings with stronger individuality. The data used in this study are data from 288 small and medium-sized office buildings actually traded in Gangnam-gu, Seocho-gu, and Songpa-gu in Seoul. According to the analysis results, the factor that most influences the monthly rent decision of small and medium-sized office buildings was the elapsed life of the building. Next, the number of basement floors, management costs, official land prices, parking spaces, deposits, number of elevators, and distance to the subway station were found to be valid factors. Unlike previous studies that converted the deposit into monthly rent in the determinants of occupation cost of office buildings, this study analyzed the determinants of pure monthly rent for small and medium office buildings. This is a study to analyze only the determinants of monthly rent by reducing the error generated by converting the deposit to monthly rent in the event of a rapid interest rate hike.

Published: April 2023

The purpose of this study is to analyze the status of administrative fines imposed for violations of the 「Multi-Family Housing Management Act」. This study used the audit performance of twenty six local governments in Seoul, Incheon and Gyeonggi. The data was collected through request “Public Information Disclosure Portal”. The main findings of this study can be summarized as below. First, only 5% of apartments were audited. Second, the audit implementation rates and results differed by districts and periods. Third, although the reasons for receiving administrative action were generally similar, the results of the housing management audit varied. This study suggests the following measures: first, activating management guidance before imposing fines; second, establishing and operating a Deliberation Committee on Imposition of Fines for Multi-Family Housing Management by the government; and third, revising the criteria for fines in the 「Multi-Family Housing Management Act」 to conform with the「Act on the Regulation of Violations of Public Order」. In the absence of objective data on the audit of multi-family housing management, the information on audit results collected for this study is meaningful in and of itself.

Introduction. In connection with the present volumes of electrification in central Russia, the need for the construction of new electric power transmission lines (EPTLs) has decreased considerably. At the same time, the natural degradation of EPTL supports in time, as well as the prospects for developing the vast expanses of the northern, Siberian and Far Eastern regions, caused by the reorientation of Russia’s economic relations from the West to the East, make it urgent to increase production volumes and technical and economic efficiency of using spun reinforced concrete poles for EPTL supports.

Aim. Industrial implementation of spun reinforced concrete poles with the high-strength innovation profile reinforcement by replacing A800 rebars with four-row-profile Au1000P rebars.

Materials and methods. The article provides data on the full-scale tests of spun reinforced concrete poles for EPTL supports according to the GOST 22687.1-85 “Centrifugal cylinder reinforced concrete posts for high-voltage transmission lines. Structure and dimensions” [1]. Three pole samples with a length of 26 m were prepared and tested. One sample consisted of prestressed A800 rebars according to GOST 22687.1-85, while the other two prototypes include the prestressed Au1000P rebars with the four-row profile. In the second sample, the reinforcement scheme (diameters and rebar quantity) repeats the standard option, increasing the bearing capacity of the pole. Having the same bearing capacity as the pole, manufactured according to the GOST, the third sample promoted for the reduction in the quantity of non-stressed rebars.

Results. A new scheme for reinforcing the pole sample using Au1000P rebars was developed. The results of the sample testing are presented; a comparative evaluation of the pole strength and deformation characteristics is given; technical and economic indicators, as well as the recommendations regarding the reinforcement of the prestressed spun concrete poles with Au1000P rebars are provided.

Conclusion. According to the results of the performed study, an economic effect was established due to a reduction in the quantity of non-stressed rebars by 28 %. Poles with Au1000P prestressed rebars have an increased corrosion resistance and durability due to the closing of cracks formed during the impact of short-term dynamic loads from wind gusts, wire breaks, etc. In terms of a recommendation, it is proposed to update the GOST 22687.1-85 in order to use new types of high-strength reinforcement rolled products and higher strength concrete.

Se presentan resultados de estudios arqueológicos realizados sobre segmentos del ramal transversal más meridional del Qhapac Ñan. Se propone que este ramal, ubicado en el NO de la provincia de Mendoza (Argentina), tuvo derivaciones que lo conectaban con una red compleja de vías de circulación inter-cordillerana. El registro obtenido permite inferir que los Incas usaron, en forma simultánea, los pasos Cristo Redentor y de Navarro y que este último pudo ser parte de un camino ceremonial que llevaba al cerro Aconcagua, apu/waca principal de la región. Se plantea también que generaron y/o mantuvieron otros caminos con función logística y ritual sobre los valles de los ríos Tupungato y de Las Vacas. Con esta nueva información se consolida la posibilidad de que los Incas hayan aplicado preferentemente, en este sector del extremo sur del Tawantinsuyu, políticas de dominación de tipo ideológico que llevaron a una sacralización de los caminos cordilleranos y sus entornos.

Published: April 2023

The significant frequency of thyroid dysfunction in women with pre-gestational DM calls for evaluation of thyroid function in these people during pregnancy. Thyroid dysfunction was present in both pregnant women with GDM and healthy pregnant women, but in 27% of them, TPO Ab titers were positive, indicating the need for additional testing for postpartum thyroiditis and dysfunction. Therefore, it can be concluded from the findings that women with gestational diabetes mellitus were more likely than healthy pregnant women to have thyroid dysfunction, which is manifested as hypothyroidism with high anti-TPO levels.

Indonesia saat ini merupakan negara pengguna instagram terbesar se-Asia Pasifik, secara potensial dapat menjadi daya penggerak bagi pemanfaatan dan pengembangan teknologi informasi sehingga berkontribusi positif bagi kemajuan Indonesia. Namun harus diakui bahwa masyarakat Indonesia masih dihadapkan dengan rendahnya pemahaman dan kesadaran masyarakat dalam menghadapi instrumen hukum hak cipta terkait dengan konten fotografi dan potret dalam penggunaan instagram, baik dari segi pengaturan hukum atas konten yang dibuat dan disebarluaskan, keabsahan hukum terhadap klausul perjanjian lisensi, perlindungan hukum dan cara-cara penyelesaian sengketa domain. Dalam era digital saat ini bahwa norma-norma pengaturan hukum terhadap suatu karya cipta semakin terabaikan. Pada perkembangannya terungkap bahwa eksploitasi ciptaan melalui sarana media teknologi semakin intensif dan kompleks sehingga cenderung mengabaikan penghormatan terhadap hak cipta sebagai kewenangan eksklusif yang dimiliki oleh pencipta. Dalam hal ini diperlukan adanya kepastian hukum dan perlindungan hukum yang bertumpu pada tatanan norma dan ketentuan-ketentuan hukum yang telah ditetapkan dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 28 Tahun 2014 tentang Hak Cipta sebagai orientasi nilai dan kaidah penghormatan terhadap regulasi hak cipta yang berlaku di Indonesia, terutama untuk menjaga integritas dan memberikan jaminan perlindungan terhadap karya ciptaan dan juga kepentingan pencipta.
Analysis and Modeling of Surface Roughness in Powder Mix EDM and Pure EDM Using Central Composite Design
Authors: Zakaria Mohd Zain  , Mir Akmam Noor Rashid  , Sher Afghan Khan  , Ahsan Ali Khan
Published: April 2023

Conventional surface modification methods, such as ion insertion and laser surface melting, have recently seen growing importance in the innovative usage of the electrical discharge machining process (EDM) as a competitive substitute. Surface composition and properties are affected by several factors, including erosion of work materials and tool materials during the process, as well as the formation of plasma channels from the vaporized materials. This indicates that, under certain machining conditions, deliberate materials transfer may be possible using either a composite electrode by scattering metallic powders in a dielectric or a combination of the two. However, the traditional electrode has not been very successful in the surface modification process. Although it has been considered, expanding research into the use of powder additives through EDM techniques to enhance the level of surface modification is lacking. In addition, the pulse interval is not included in the existing works that examine the impact of technique parameters on surface modification. Because of this, a thorough optimization of the process has not been possible to characterize the connection between the independent variables under control and the machining parameters. To take full advantage of the benefits offered by EDM, it is necessary to learn more about the missing links between the process and its desired outcomes, such as whether or not surface alloying of metallic materials using EDM is feasible and what controls should be used for the various variables involved. The purpose of this study was to assess the efficiency of EDM-based surface alloying of stainless steel using Tantalum Carbide (TaC) powder as an additive by measuring the resulting surfaces' roughness (SR). It was found that RaPMEDM 11 recorded at current 5A and on-time 6.30 off-time 7.00 with powder concentration 25g/L. The RaPMEDM is easy to predict by controlling factor current (A) and on-time (B). At the higher current of 7.25A, RaPMEDM showed to decrease slightly. This result justifies TaC powder starts to control and modify the surface of stainless steel at a high factor current. In the case of without additives RaEDM, at maximum current 5 A, on-time 6.26 μs, and off-time 7 μs, RaEDM recorded 7 μm. Although it provided the highest Ra compared to RaPMEDM.
The Absence of Smart Technology as One of The Key Factors of Transportation in Modular Construction: A Case Study in Malaysia
Authors: Mohd Reeza Yusof  , Mohd Nasrun Mohd Nawi  , Izatul Laili Jabar
Published: April 2023

Modular construction is a new method introduced to meet the modernisation agenda in the Malaysian construction industry. It provides various benefits to the construction industry, such as speedier construction, quality improvement, waste minimisation, and sustainability. Despite all the promoted benefits, it still needs to be widely implemented in the Malaysian construction industry due to a need for knowledge and readiness towards modular construction. The construction industry player needed to be more sceptical about applying this new construction method in their project. Further, the application’s success in modular construction is highly associated with good transportation management; however, achieving good transportation management may be challenging because it depends on the manufacturer's understanding of designing and allocating the module. Understanding modular construction is essential to select the suitable modular type because it affects the whole process and transportation. This research aims to investigate the essential factors to be considered in the transportation of modular construction. The data collected is by interviewing modular construction companies in Malaysia. The study reveals that transportation should be taken as early as the design stage. Under the transportation process, among the factors that need to be considered are the size of the module, types of trailers, road or highway regulations, suitable route, time for transport and technologies. It is concluded in this paper that contractors managing modular transportation still have to take smart technology factors into account. Therefore, the findings of this study are hoped to be a reference for modular construction companies and other construction industry players in terms of modular construction transportation considerations.

Selecting the first galaxies at z > 7 − 10 from JWST surveys is complicated by z < 6 contaminants with degenerate photometry. For example, strong optical nebular emission lines at z < 6 may mimic JWST/NIRCam photometry of z > 7–10 Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs). Dust-obscured 3 < z < 6 galaxies in particular are potentially important contaminants, and their faint rest-optical spectra have been historically difficult to observe. A lack of optical emission line and continuum measures for 3 < z < 6 dusty galaxies now makes it difficult to test their expected JWST/NIRCam photometry for degenerate solutions with NIRCam dropouts. Toward this end, we quantify the contribution by strong emission lines to NIRCam photometry in a physically motivated manner by stacking 21 Keck II/NIRES spectra of hot, dust-obscured, massive (

The Effects of Gas Angular Momentum on the Formation of Magnetically Arrested Disks and the Launching of Powerful Jets
Authors: Kwan Tom M. , Dai Lixin , Tchekhovskoy Alexander
Published: April 2023

In this letter, we investigate Bondi-like accretion flows with zero or low specific angular momentum by performing 3D general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations. In order to check if relativistic jets can be launched magnetically from such flows, we insert a large-scale poloidal magnetic field into the accretion flow and consider a rapidly spinning black hole. We demonstrate that under such conditions the accretion flow needs to initially have specific angular momentum above a certain threshold to eventually reach and robustly sustain the magnetically arrested disk state. If the flow can reach such a state, it can launch very powerful jets at ≳100% energy efficiency. Interestingly, we also find that even when the accretion flow has initial specific angular momentum below the threshold, it can still launch episodic jets with an average energy efficiency of ∼10%. However, the accretion flow has nontypical behaviors such as having different rotation directions at different inclinations and exhibiting persistent outflows along the midplane even in the inner disk region. Our results give plausible explanations as to why jets can be produced from various astrophysical systems that likely lack large gas specific angular momenta, such as Sgr A*, wind-fed X-ray binaries, tidal disruption events, and long-duration gamma-ray bursts.

Mt Elgon is an ancient transboundary volcanic mountain found at the Kenya-Uganda boarder possessing high plant diversity. This study documents an updated checklist of the mountain’s vascular plants obtained through random-walk field excursions and retrieval of herbarium specimen tracing back to 1900. We compiled 1709 species from 673 genera in 131 families. One new species of the family Cucurbitaceae was also reported. This checklist records respective habitat, habits, elevation ranges, voucher numbers and global distribution ranges of each species. Native and exotic species were also distinguished, where 8.4% of the total species in 49 families were exotic species. There were 103 endemic species, while 14 species were found to be both rare and endemic. IUCN conservation status revealed 2 Critically Endangered, 4 Endangered, 9 Vulnerable and 2 Near Threatened species. This study presents the first and most comprehensive plant inventory of Mt Elgon that will facilitate further ecological and phylogenetic studies.

Published: April 2023

Farmers are the most affected by the negative impacts of climate change and, at the same time, are called upon to adapt to climate change. Despite this, the degree of perception and adaptive attitude of farmers to climate change is still quite limited, especially in smallholder family farms in the Mediterranean areas. This study explores the level of perception of climate change by PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) winegrowers in a region of southern Italy (Sicily) and the adaptation actions able to cope with climate change, using a nonparametric approach. The analysis is based on data collected through self-administered questionnaires submitted to 380 PDO winegrowers. For variables comparison the Mann Whitney and the Kruskall Wallis test were applied according to the number of compared samples (two or more independent samples, respectively). Results show how winegrowers' perceptions of climate change tends to vary according to age and education of the respondents and to altitude and size of vineyards. This study highlights how information and dissemination of knowledge among winegrowers play a strategic role in the perception of climate change, especially in rural and remote Mediterranean areas.
Economic and environmental assessment of electricity generation using biogas and heat energy from municipal solid waste: A case study of Lesotho
Authors: Sechoala Tsepo , Popoola Olawale , Ayodele Temitope
Published: April 2023

This study examined the potential of electricity generation from biogas and heat energy arising from municipal solid waste (MSW) collected from the year 2021 to 2045 using anaerobic digestion (AD) and incineration (INC) technologies. The goal of this paper is to evaluate the economic and environmental benefits of implementing the aforementioned technologies in Lesotho. The environmental impact was assessed by using the life cycle assessment strategy based on global warming potential for three scenarios, while the economic assessment was carried out by using the net present value (NPV), levelized cost of energy (LCOE) and total life cycle cost. The key findings show that, over 25 years (2021–2045), MSW generation will range from 185.855 to 513.587 kilotons. The methane yield for the duration of the project for AD technology is 44.67–126.56 thousand cubic meters per year. Moreover, the electricity generation will range from 0.336–0.887 GWh for AD technology and 17.15–45.34 GWh for INC technology. Economically, the results demonstrated that the two waste-to-energy technologies are viable, as evidenced by their positive NPV. The NPV for AD was about USD 0.514 million, and that for INC technology was USD 339.65 million. AD and INC have LCOEs of 0.029 and 0.0023 USD/kWh, respectively. The findings demonstrate that AD can minimize the potential for global warming by 95%, signifying a huge environmental advantage. This paper serves to provide the government, as well as the investors, with current and trustworthy information on waste-to-energy technologies in terms of costs, execution and worldwide effect, which could aid optimal decision-making in waste-to-energy projects in Lesotho.
Numerical simulation of fractional-order two-dimensional Helmholtz equations
Authors: Iqbal Naveed , Chughtai Muhammad Tajammal , Shah Nehad Ali
Published: April 2023

In this paper, we investigate the exact solutions of several fractional-order Helmholtz equations using the homotopy perturbation transform method. We specify sufficient requirements for its convergence and provide error estimations. The homotopy perturbation transform method yields a quickly converging succession of solutions. Solutions for various fractional space derivatives are compared to present approaches and explained using figures. Appropriate parameter selection produces approximations identical to the exact answer. Test examples are provided to demonstrate the proposed approach's precision and competence. The results demonstrate that our system is appealing, user-friendly, dependable, and highly effective.

Published: April 2023

In this paper, we describe a new generalization of the multivariate Mittag-Leffler (M-L) function in terms of generalized Pochhammer symbol and study its properties. We provide a few differential and fractional integral formulas for the generalized multivariate M-L function. Furthermore, by using the generalized multivariate M-L function in the kernel, we present a new generalization of the fractional integral operator. Finally, we describe some fundamental characteristics of generalized fractional integrals.
Least energy sign-changing solutions for a class of fractional $ (p, q) $-Laplacian problems with critical growth in $ \mathbb{R}^N $
Authors: Cheng Kun , Feng Shenghao , Wang Li , Zhan Yuangen
Published: April 2023

This paper considers the following fractional $ (p, q) $-Laplacian equation:

   \begin{document}$ (-\Delta)_{p}^{s} u+(-\Delta)_{q}^{s} u+V(x)\left(|u|^{p-2} u+|u|^{q-2} u\right) = \lambda f(u)+|u|^{q^*_s-2}u \quad \text { in } \mathbb{R}^{N}, $\end{document}

where $ s \in(0, 1), \lambda > 0, 2 < p < q < \frac{N}{s} $, $ (-\Delta)_{t}^{s} $ with $ t \in\{p, q\} $ is the fractional $ t $-Laplacian operator, and potential $ V $ is a continuous function. Using constrained variational methods, a quantitative Deformation Lemma and Brouwer degree theory, we prove that the above problem has a least energy sign-changing solution $ u_{\lambda} $ under suitable conditions on $ f $, $ V $ and $ \lambda $. Moreover, we show that the energy of $ u_{\lambda} $ is strictly larger than two times the ground state energy.

Stewart-Treves syndrome: a case report of lymphedema-related angiosarcoma
Authors: Di Prazza Agnese , Dominguez Ligia J. , Badalamenti Giuseppe , Barbagallo Mario
Published: April 2023

Stewart-Treves syndrome (STS) is an angiosarcoma associated with lymphedema deriving more often from radical mastectomy and longstanding lymphedema, first described in 1948. Irradiation is also commonly associated with chronic lymphedema of extremities. It generally occurs about 10 years after the mastectomy and/or radiotherapy. The prognosis is very poor with a mean survival of 20 months from the diagnosis especially when radical surgery is not possible. We present the case of STS in an 89-year-old female who underwent left upper outer quadrantectomy for invasive ductal carcinoma in 2009 followed by axillary lymphadenectomy, radiotherapy, and hormonal therapy until 2014. She presented swollen upper left limb associated with hemorrhagic red papular lesions. Skin biopsy revealed the presence of lymphedema-associated angiosarcoma. Radical surgery was not possible, so she underwent conservative therapy with pazopanib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, with benefit. Long-term follow-up of these patients is crucial to intercept this condition at an early stage.
