Published: February 2023

Schwannomas are benign, rare tumors that arise from the myelin sheath or peripheral nerves. Usually, they occur in the adult age, being uncommon in children. They may distort the nervous path and, when adjacent to bones, can lead to fractures. The incidence of this kind of tumor in the axilla is approximately 5%, and in the breasts, it is 2.6%. Fragment biopsies can elucidate the diagnosis, but the patient might present intense pain during the procedure. Macroscopically, Schwannomas have a fibroelastic consistency and a fibrous capsule. Microscopically, the spindled Schwann cells are seen, and hypercellular areas (Antoni A) are alternated with hypocellular areas (Antoni B), all of which show a positive reaction to the S100 protein during immunohistochemical staining. Small and asymptomatic Schwannomas do not require any kind of treatment, and a follow-up of every 6 months with ultrasound examinations is a viable option. For symptomatic cases, the treatment is lumpectomy, with extra care to preserve the adjacent nerve whenever that is possible. This surgery allows satisfactory results, with low rates of malignization and relapse. This article aims to report the case of a 37-year-old woman who presented with a palpable lump in the right axilla, diagnosed as a Schwannoma. Its importance comes from the rarity of the tumor and its resemblance to locally advanced breast cancer. MML, female, 37 years old, Caucasian, single, was referred to the mastology service of a Medical Practice localized in the south of São Paulo, after presenting with a palpable, nonpainful lump in the right axilla, with progressive and accelerated growth. An ultrasound examination showed a solid-cystic, hypoechogenic nodule, with regular margins, that measured up to 6.4 cm. After core biopsy, the histology of the lump was described as a proliferation of spindle-like cells, and the immunohistochemical staining showed a positive reaction to the S100 protein, which confirmed the diagnosis of Schwannoma. The patient underwent a lumpectomy and presented with hypoesthesia and loss of strength in the upper right limb, which had spontaneous resolution after 2 weeks of follow-up.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the difficulties faced by patients with breast cancer in accessing health services from the detection of the first symptoms to the start of treatment. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between January and December 2020. A structured questionnaire with the inclusion of socioeconomic variables was applied. We sought to understand the possible difficulties faced by patients to gain access to health services, as well as the characteristics of the disease and initial symptoms presented until the beginning of the treatment. Results: In total, 102 women were diagnosed with breast cancer and aged between 25 and 80. In all, 54.9% and 95.1%, respectively, lived in a large city and within 13 km of the health service. Nodule perception was the first symptom in 81 patients (80.4%). After symptom perception, the first consultation was carried out by a general practitioner in 65.7% of the cases, who performed a clinical examination of the breasts and requested a mammogram in 63.7% and 80.4% of the cases, respectively. Considering the mammogram, 50% of patients had never undergone the examination. Regarding the difficulties faced in scheduling the first appointment, fear of diagnosis (83.3%) and negative experiences (31.4%) were the most mentioned. For the difficulties with having a mammogram, the fear of diagnosis (81.4%) and the limitations of transportation/distance (42.2%) stood out. Of the difficulties in scheduling the biopsy, the fear of diagnosis (85.3%) followed by transport/distance (51.0%) were the most frequent reports. At diagnosis, 46.1% of patients were in stages III and IV. Conclusion: The fear of a cancer diagnosis and negative experiences with health services were the difficulties most described by the participants after the occurrence of breast symptoms until the first consultation. Other factors, such as limited transportation and distance to health centers, made it difficult to perform mammography and breast biopsy. Together, the data from this study reinforce the need for comprehensive care for patients with suspected breast cancer.

Published: February 2023

Introduction: The role of primary chemotherapy in breast cancer is well established and has positively impacted the number of conservative surgeries. However, for effective locoregional control, it is necessary for complete resection of the residual tumor, with histopathological free margins. Preoperative evaluation of the residual tumor is essential. A clinical examination is impaired due to tissue alterations induced by chemotherapy, and the use of imaging methods had conflicting results. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the agreement between the ultrasound measurement and the histopathological measurement of the residual tumor in breast cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted comparing the average and other measures of dispersion of the echographic and histopathological measurements of the residual tumor. Additionally, we compared the average and other measures of dispersion of the individual differences between the echographic and histopathological measurements of the residual tumor. The scenario was a quaternary hospital in Rio de Janeiro where breast cancer patients were treated. Results: The average ultrasound measurement was 18 mm (95%CI 13.75–22.25), with a median of 16. The average histopathological measurement was 16 mm (95%CI 11.62–20.38), with a median of 12. The average of the individual differences between the echographic and histopathological measurements of the residual tumor was 2 mm (95%CI 0.38–4.38), with a median of 2 mm. Conclusion: Ultrasonography is an effective tool in the preoperative evaluation of breast cancer patients undergoing primary chemotherapy.

Authors: Ali Nagla , Abu Khurma Othman , Afari Ernest , Swe Khine Myint
Published: February 2023

To examine the relationship between students’ perceptions and their non-cognitive outcomes, this research uses secondary analysis of PISA data from 14,167 students in the United Arab Emirates. Seven factors of learning environment were identified after reviewing the literature. The findings reveal that six factors of the learning environments had a statistically significant association with epistemological beliefs. It was also found that three aspects of learning environments had a statistically significant association with self-efficacy. The results indicate that the three aspects of learning environments had a statistically significant association with anxiety. There was no association found between anxiety and any other teacher factors. The findings also show a positive and statistically significant relationship between students’ epistemological beliefs and self-efficacy, and a negative significant relationship between self-efficacy and anxiety. The research thus confirmed previous research by establishing a significant association between the nature of the learning environment and students’ cognitive outcomes.

Aparatur Sipil Negara (ASN) merupakan abdi negara dan masyarakat. Berkenaan dengan kehidupan di negara hukum maka dalam pelaksanaan tugasnya dan sebagai bagian dari masyarakat harus patuh dan taat dalam melaksanakan peraturan perundang-undangan yang berlaku. Apabila melakukan tindak pidana, sudah tentu akan mendapat sanksi, termasuk sanksi pidana. Hukuman paling berat bagi ASN yang melakukan tindak pidana adalah pemberhentian dari profesi ASN yang dituangkan dalam Pasal 247-250 Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 11 Tahun 2017 tentang Manajemen Pegawai Negeri Sipil. Pada pelaksanaannya, terdapat pemahaman dan pelaksanaan yang berbeda-beda di antara berbagai institusi pemerintahan. Salah satu problematikanya adalah dalam menentukan derajat suatu tindak pidana apakah berencana atau tidak berencana. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pelaksanaan Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 11 Tahun 2017 Pasal 247-250 dan menggali kemungkinan digunakannya pendekatan restorative justice terhadap Pegawai Negeri Sipil (PNS) yang melakukan tindak pidana dengan berencana atau tidak berencana. Buku ini membahas lebih dalam bahwa terminologi tindak pidana dengan berencana dan tidak berencana menjadi masalah tersendiri dan sebaiknya menggunakan terminologi kesengajaan dan kelalaian atau memerlukan penjelasan resmi dalam produk perundang-undangan yang berlaku. Kemudian adanya keterlambatan penyampaian salinan putusan vonis hakim yang menyebabkan Pejabat Pembina Kepegawaian tidak dapat segera memberikan hukuman disiplin yang berimbas pada pegawai yang bersangkutan tetap menerima hak-haknya sebagai PNS. Hukuman non-penal melalui pendekatan restorative justice juga sangat mungkin untuk dilakukan terutama melalui pembentukan Majelis Kehormatan Etik bagi PNS.

Buku ini bertujuan untuk memberikan gambaran dan menganalisis permasalahan yang dihadapi dalam pelaksanaan hak prerogatif presiden dalam bidang Grasi, Amnesti, Abolisi dan Rehabilitasi (GAAR) serta mengelaborasi muatan materi akan diatur. Pengaturan yang ada saat ini memiliki beberapa kelemahan diantaranya masih adanya multi tafsir terhadap pasal-pasal tertentu sehingga belum memunculkan keseragaman dalam menerapkan pasal yang dimaksud oleh para aparat penegak hukum serta pengaturan terhadap pasal-pasal tertentu dinilai belum komprehensif termasuk dalam mekanisme pelaksanaanya. Hal yang demikian menyebabkan Presiden sebagai pemilik hak mengalami kesulitan atau mendapat sorotan oleh masyarakat ketika dihadapkan dengan permohonan yang berkenaan dengan GAAR. Selain itu, DPR juga kesulitan memberikan pengawasan akibat dari ketidakpastian regulasi. Berdasarkan hasil temuan dan analisis yang dilakukan ditemukan sejumlah permasalahan yang mengemuka dalam pelaksanaannya serta dipandang perlu dibentuk dasar hukum tersendiri melalui Rancangan Undang-Undang GAAR dalam rangka implementasi dan penguatan hak prerogratif presiden sebagaimana diatur UUD NRI 1945 pasca amandemen, supremasi HAM, faktor kebutuhan hukum masyarakat, kepentingan negara, faktor ambivalensi dan harmonisasi pengaturan UU mengenai GAAR dalam berbagai regulasi terkait. Adanya kekosongan hukum UU amanesti, abolisi Rehabilitasi karena telah kadaluarsanya keberadaaan UU Amnesti dan Abolisi (UU No.54/1954) yang sudah tidak sejalan dengan spirit UUD 1945 pasca amandemen. Pengintegrasian pengaturan kedalam satu kitab hukum yakni RUU GAAR akan diarahkan sebagai payung hukum utama bagi Presiden dalam menjalankan dan menggunakan hak Prerogatif secara non diskrimintaif, efektif dan berkeadilan sesuai spirit Pancasila dan UUD.

Data or important documents for each lecturer are often neglected in terms of storage and several other cases that cause important document files, for example, rank files, inpasing, certificates, teaching modules, practicum modules that are damaged due to viruses and ransomware when users use the internet using their own laptop. Some other problems include theft, fire, flooding, suddenly damaged laptop, illegible external storage or laptop hard drive, forgetting to backup to Google Drive, forgetting Google Drive password, missing internet package, not being accessed locally and having many problems when the data is somewhere when it's needed. By implementing a centralized data backup in each university with the nextcloud-based Infrastructure As A Service (IAAS) concept, it can provide an alternative to the above problems with the result that 90% of the data will be safe and confidential. Then data access is faster because the server is located in the college area and the data is also held by the respective owner of the lecturer account concerned.

Reptile hematology provides important information to help assessment of health conditions and other reptile physiology and for biomarker discovery. The current hematology of snake from natural habitats of Thailand with morphological measurement is still rarely explored. In the present study, the extensive investigation on the morphometric analysis and characteristics of blood cells in the golden tree snake Chrysopelea ornata (Shaw, 1802) was examined and compared between sexes. Here we found that the majority of the squamate blood cells were erythrocyte in both sexes of this snake. It had the typical erythrocyte morphology showing eclipse shape with a central nucleus without significant difference between males and females. White blood cells (or leukocytes) in the snakes were a heterogeneous group with different nucleus shape and also shared a similar size between sexes. Interestingly, the length of thrombocytes was significantly different (P 0.05): longer in the male and shorter in the female snakes. From the blood smear technique, the heterogeneous group of the snake leukocyte included azurophil, heterophils neutrophil, basophil, lymphocyte, and monocyte without eosinophil. Remarkably, the highest proportion of the snake leukocyte was lymphocyte, followed by azurophils, and neutrophil. This proportion was similar in both sexes. The results from our hematological analysis could be provided as hematology-based health monitoring of the wild population for C. ornata in our land and other countries.
Additional Records of the Elusive Lateritic Plateau Toad Beduka koynayensis (Soman, 1963) (Anura: Bufonidae) from the Surroundings of its Type Locality with an Insight into the Genetic Data
Authors: Dinesh K. P. , Shabnam Ansari , More Nikhil
Published: February 2023

The Koyna Toad, Beduka koynayensis, was described some 50 years ago as Bufo koynayensis. Due to taxonomic changes in the generic position now the species is considered under the recently established genus Beduka. Although the terrestrial toad species are morphologically cryptic and difficult to identify them based on morphological characters alone the members of Beduka are exceptions due to clear body colour patterns and habitat specificity. Even though the species is well studied in terms of reproductive biology, call pattern and life history traits there is a lacuna in the understandings of its range of distribution, morphological and genetic variations due to limited field samples available in the museums and the genetic data availability in the GenBank. Based on the fresh collections around the type locality, here we report morphological variations across the different populations within the species. With the 16S rRNA generated in the study discussions are made on the genetic variations across its range of distribution utilizing the unpublished sequences available in the GenBank.
Exploring the best communication channels to inform a local population about volcanic risk
Authors: Rouquette Sébastien , Jacquez Lise , Van Wyk de Vries Benjamin , Macedo Franco Luisa
Published: February 2023

Which communication channels should be prioritized to make populations aware of local volcanic risks? In the internet age, is it still necessary to privilege the classic channels (radio, television, posters), or are the new communication channels (websites, social media) sufficient? Using an interview-based survey of a population in Peru (n = 76) who have been the object of several volcanic risk communication campaigns using posters, websites, social media and traditional media, we compare the recall (memorization) and perception of these previous campaigns. Two main empirical results emerge from the interviews: 1) Web- sites are proving to be particularly effective communication channels in this context, in stark contrast to the low impact of the printed press; 2) We find that the the same communication campaigns are perceived differently by residents depending on the neighborhood in which they live. This second empirical result advocates for a much more territory-based and localized strategy, where the district by district socio-cultural and geological environment form the foundations for communication strategies.
GEO-TOURIST SITES AND ROUTES IN THE TERRITORY OF SAMBIR-KHYRIV TERRACE FOOTHILLS
Authors: Yatsyshyn Andrii , Bogucki Andriy , Dmytruk Roman , Malio Yana
Published: February 2023

The geological and geomorphological objects of Sambir-Khyriv terrace foothills have been characterized as natural monuments and potentially popular geo-touristic sites.
The foothills cover the pre-Carpathian sections of the Stryvihor and Dniester valleys, the entire Bolozivka valley and the uplands of the interfluves. The main geomorphological elements of the study area are river valleys with a complex of river terraces of different ages. Outside the valleys, in the uplands of the interfluves, the most ancient foothill terraces and different-aged denudation leveling surfaces are spread.
Relief-forming deposits of the foothills are mainly represented by Neogene and Anthropogenic accumulations. The anthropogenic depositsoverlapping the older accumulations are extremely heterogeneous in terms of genesis, age, and lithological structure.
Within the foothills, the most valuable natural monuments are the following objects: sections of anthropogenic accumulations Slokhyni, Torhanovychi 1 and 2 and Kruzhyky, as well as landforms, i.e. a fragment of Krasna surfacedeveloped on the eastern macro-slope of RadychMountain and the western part of the Bolozivka valley. We identify the listed objects as stratigraphic and geochronological (sections of Slokhyni, Torhanovychi 1 and 2 and Kruzhyky), paleontological (section of Kruzhyky), geomorphological (surface of Krasna, Bolozivka valley),and scenic natural monuments (surface of Krasna).
Foothill natural monuments are important in terms of research and geo-educational functions, in particular to study and illustrate stratification of sedimentary accumulations of anthropogenic age; lithological and sedimentological features of continental deposits; variability of paleogeographic conditions of anthropogenic age; cyclicityof continental morpholithogenetic processes; formation of exogenic forms of relief due to denudation shearing of uneven surface of the Earth, erosion and accretion activity of fluvial flows; soil-forming processes; and geological age of human material culture.
The described natural monuments are important for the organization of events intended to popularize geological and geographical science, as well as environmental education among people, and teach the skills of careful attitude to the environment. It would befeasible to integrate them into the existing network of tourist routes inLviv region.
Key words: Sambir-Khyriv terrace foothills; natural monuments; sections of anthropogenic deposits; surface of Krasna; Bolozivka valley.

Authors: Yatsyshyn Andrii , Dmytruk Roman
Published: February 2023

The current scope of knowledge of individual fragments of the Dniester valley was analyzed, and it was found thatits pre-Carpathian part remains the least studied. The diagrams illustrating the idea of the structure and history of the formation of this river valleyfragment are mainly based on the diagram by I. Hofshtein developed in the 1960–1970s and coincide with it in terms of boththe number of terraces discovered here and the determination of their age.
In recent years, significant progress has been made in the study of the pre-Carpathian fragment of the river valley, in particular in the study of the ancient terraces of the Dniester River, which until now have been "hidden" in the leveling surfaces of Loyeva and Krasna. Low-Upper Pleistocene terraces, which are spread mainly within the borders of the Upper Dniester, Stryi-Zhydachiv, Halytsia-Bukachiv basins and within the 5–10-kilometer sections of the Dniester valley and the valleys of its separate Carpathian tributaries located at the foot of the Carpathian escarpment, remain less studied. Until recently, the youngest of the Pleistocene terraces of the Dniester River was considered to be the Kolodiyiv terrace, the loose accumulations of which are based on alluvium of the Horohiv (Prylutskyi) period. Below it, the first supraflood terrace of Late Pleistocene-Holocene age is developed.
On the basis of the analysis of the morphological parameters of the terrace developed within the Halytsia-Bukachiv basin, the analysis of the cross-section of its loose accumulations, a terrace was identified that corresponds to the second supraflood terrace of the Vytachiv-Buzka period, developed in Middle Transnistria.
As a result of the identification of the terrace, which we consider as the second supraflood, as well as the terraces discovered within the distribution of the Loyeva and Krasnaya leveling surfaces, the total number of terraces developed in the pre-Carpathian part of the valleys and the Dniester reached twelve: the late Pleistocene-Holocene first floodplain terrace; late Pleistocene second (Tustan) and third (Kolodiiv) floodplain terraces; Middle Pleistocene fourth (Jezupil) and fifth (Maryyampil) floodplain terraces; early Pleistocene sixth (Halytsky), seventh (Biskovytsky), eighth (Susidovytsky), ninth (Dubrivsky), and tenth (Torganovytsky) supraflood terraces; Pliocene (?) eleventh (Starosilska) and twelfth (Krasnianska) supraflood terraces.

Published: February 2023

Law in Islamic syariat is focused on the realization of muamalah for humans, so that things that are opposite and contrary to benefit are definitely annulled in Islamic law, among things that are prohibited because they are contrary to benefit are muamalah behaviors that contain gharar, among transaction behaviors that are containing gharar is multi-contract multi-contract that has different laws and consequences that arise in one contract and time, this is due to uncertainty about the contract that occurs, between buying and selling or leasing contracts, in this case, and the MUI issues a fatwa regarding the rules multi-contract contracts which are justified by Islamic law, contained in fatwa no. 27 of 2002 concerning buying and selling leases, this research will examine the fatwa, whether the fatwa has the opportunity to cause gharar or not? , the method used in this research is a qualitative method by analyzing the content of the fatwa even though testing it with gharar theory which leads to the conclusion that the fatwa dsnmui no.27 of 2002 has no chance of causing gharar.

Incentivizing Retirement: An Analysis of Cash Retirement Incentives for Chicago Teachers
Authors: Hosek James , Knapp David , Mattock Michael G. , Asch Beth J.
Published: February 2023

Retirement incentives are frequently used by school districts facing financial difficulties. They provide a means of either decreasing staff size or replacing retiring senior teachers with less expensive junior teachers. We analyze a one-time retirement incentive in a large school district paid to teachers willing to retire at the end of the 2016–2017 school year that required 1,500 teachers to accept the offer for it to be paid. The analysis uses an estimated structural model of teacher retention—enabling predictions through simulation of what teacher behavior would be in lieu of the incentive. As predicted by the model, too few teachers accepted the incentive and it was not paid. Simulations enable the decomposition of the would-be retirement incentive takers into those that retired because of the retirement incentive (i.e., marginal teachers) and those who would have retired without the incentive. We find that (1) most teachers who receive the retirement incentive would have retired regardless leading to substantial payments to teachers whose decisions are unchanged, (2) marginal teachers are likely to have retired within a couple years without the incentive limiting the period in which a salary gap can recoup the incentive’s costs, and (3) sharp increases in salary over the first years of teaching narrow the salary gap from which potential savings might derive. These mechanisms are common to most school districts so it is unlikely districts using retirement incentives will realize any cost savings if they replace retiring teachers with junior teachers.
Handling Missing Data in Cross-Classified Multilevel Analyses: An Evaluation of Different Multiple Imputation Approaches
Authors: Grund Simon , Lüdtke Oliver , Robitzsch Alexander
Published: February 2023

Multiple imputation (MI) is a popular method for handling missing data. In education research, it can be challenging to use MI because the data often have a clustered structure that need to be accommodated during MI. Although much research has considered applications of MI in hierarchical data, little is known about its use in cross-classified data, in which observations are clustered in multiple higher-level units simultaneously (e.g., schools and neighborhoods, transitions from primary to secondary schools). In this article, we consider several approaches to MI for cross-classified data (CC-MI), including a novel fully conditional specification approach, a joint modeling approach, and other approaches that are based on single- and two-level MI. In this context, we clarify the conditions that CC-MI methods need to fulfill to provide a suitable treatment of missing data, and we compare the approaches both from a theoretical perspective and in a simulation study. Finally, we illustrate the use of CC-MI in real data and discuss the implications of our findings for research practice.
(Why) Do farmers’ Big Five personality traits matter? – A systematic literature review
Authors: Lehberger Mira , Gruener Sven
Published: February 2023

Agricultural economists are increasingly incorporating insights from psychology into their research to better understand farmers’ behavior. The Big Five model of personality is frequently used in psychological research. This paper aims at answering how and when researchers use the Big Five personality traits when focusing on farmers (research questions, measurement of personality traits). In addition, we analyze to what extent the Big Five personality traits contribute to explaining farmers’ behaviors and outcomes. To answer these research questions, we carry out systematic literature research guided by the PRISMA approach. We searched three databases (Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed) at the end of February 2022 and identified n = 36 eligible studies. We included studies, which were written in English, which focused on farmers, including primary data and measurements of the Big Five personality traits. This is the first systematic and comprehensive review of the role of the Big Five personality traits in farmers’ behavior. Our review shows an increase in interest in the farmers’ Big Five personality traits in the past years, most often incorporated in research conducted in Europe. By carrying out the main steps of content analysis, we develop a taxonomy, categorizing the research aims of the reviewed studies. We identify three main categories: well-being (human and animal), business (in a broad sense and in a narrow sense), and methodological aims. Overall, our review suggests that some personality traits are more important for understanding farmers’ behaviors and outcomes than others, depending on the context. Indeed, we were able to identify some patterns. For instance, our review shows that neuroticism is most often negatively related to measures of human well-being, or business development, whereas agreeableness supports non-technical skills and education. Openness and extraversion seem to be strong predictors of pro-environmental behavior, whereas conscientiousness tends to increase business performance. To assess the possible risk of bias in the reviewed studies, we included a quality discussion. We further discuss the limitations of our review and identify avenues for future research. To increase the review’s credibility, we pre-registered our procedure (INPLASY202230138, DOI: 10.37766/inplasy2022.3.0138).
