Change in Body Weight and Serum Albumin Levels in Febrile Neutropenic Lung Cancer Patients
Authors: Kayauchi Naomi , Nakagawa Yumi , Oteki Takako , Kagohashi Katsunori , Satoh Hiroaki
Published: December 2020

Although advances have been made in the treatment and prevention of febrile neutropenia (FN) in cancer patients treated with chemotherapy, it is still a complication that requires clinical attention. Impaired nutritional status in patients who develop FN can affect the continuation of cancer treatment, but it has not been investigated.
We conducted a retrospective longitudinal study in order to clarify (1) if body weight and serum albumin levels change in lung cancer patients who do and do not develop FN, and (2) if these indicators are more likely to worsen in patients with FN than in patients without FN. Patients undergoing cytotoxic chemotherapy between January 2011
and June 2020 were consecutively included in the study. Changes in body weight and serum albumin levels were investigated in a case–control study of patients with FN, and control patients without FN who were matched by age, gender, histopathology, and stage of lung cancer, at a ratio of 1:2. During the study period, 226 patients received
cytotoxic chemotherapy. Among those, 33 (14.6%) patients developed FN during the first course of cytotoxic chemotherapy. We found a more pronounced decrease in both body weight and serum albumin level at four weeks after the initiation of chemotherapy in FN patients. In order to safely administer effective chemotherapy, medical staff need to pay close attention to the nutritional status of patients receiving chemotherapy.

Authors: Matsubara Rina , Hikita Naoko , Haruna Megumi , Sasagawa Emi , Yonezawa Kaori , Maeda Yumi , Ikeda Yuka
Published: December 2020

Objective: The objective of this study is to determine the factors associated with time spent performing housework/childcare by fathers of children under 12 years of age (preschool and elementary school children) in Japan.
Methods: An online survey of employees and employers was conducted in 2017. Of the 7,796 total responses to the survey, those of 621 fathers of children aged 0–12 years were analyzed. Participants were divided into two groups: fathers of children aged 0–6 years, and fathers of children aged 7–12 years. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed on the items for which there was a significant intergroup difference, setting time spent performing housework as the dependent variable and the survey items as the independent variables.
Results: For fathers of children aged 0–6 years, working 40 hours or less per week and commuting for one hour or less were associated with more time spent performing housework/childcare. For fathers of children aged 7–12 years, working less than 40 hours a week, working from home more than once a week, and having spouses with
full-time jobs were associated with more time spent performing housework/childcare.
Conclusion: This study revealed the factors associated with the time spent by fathers of children under 12 in performing housework/childcare. As several of these factors cannot be altered by the fathers’ efforts alone, companies and society in general must endeavor to improve work styles to better suit the habits and preferences of fathers.
This will promote work–life balance and create better family relationships.
Imagining Imperial Futures: Colonization as the Solution for Urban Uncertainty inBattlestar Galactica
Authors: McKagen E. Leigh
Published: December 2020

In this essay, I argue that the American science fiction television series Battlestar Galactica (2003–2009) reflects uncertainty over survival in the urban present and in the near future, especially how humanity might survive in a closed system with no outside aid or resources. The Colonial Fleet highlights anxieties of contemporary cities driven to the edge of survivability by disaster. Through an examination of the fleet formation throughout the series—and of its survival in the series’ conclusion—I argue that Euro-American colonization provides ultimate salvation, soothing the uncertainty present throughout the series narrative, thus presenting an image of a very certain imperial future.
Use of an Interactive Online Teaching Module Improved Students’ Ability to Write a Clinically Appropriate SOAP Note
Authors: Alvarez Elizabeth E. , Reinhart Jennifer M.
Published: December 2020

The veterinary problem-based medical records lesson (Subjective–Objective–Assessment–Plan [SOAP] notes) at the University of Wisconsin, previously taught in lecture format, provides students little time for reflection. Moreover, evaluation of student-written SOAPs from subsequent courses demonstrates poor knowledge retention and application of the SOAP note structure. This article hypothesized that a virtual, interactive, case-based module would improve student SOAP-writing skills. A second-year student cohort (n = 79) was taught SOAP skills in lecture format (LECTURE-2); 2 years later, another second-year student cohort (n = 73) used the virtual module (MODULE-2). All students wrote SOAPs, which were evaluated using a standardized rubric and the cohorts’ scores were compared. SOAPs were then compared between a third-year student cohort who received lecture-based SOAP instruction the year before (LECTURE-3, n = 55) and a third-year student cohort who received the virtual module (MODULE-3, n = 44). SOAP scores were significantly higher in the MODULE-2 group (Mdn = 6.5, range = 1.5–9.0) than in the LECTURE-2 group (Mdn = 5.0, range = 2.0–9.0, p = .006). Similarly, the MODULE-3 students scored higher on the differential diagnosis SOAP component than the LECTURE-3 students (Mdn = 1, range = 0–2, vs. Mdn = 0.5, range = 0–2, p = .041). Student feedback on the online module was positive. An online teaching module improved students’ short- and long-term ability to write clinically appropriate SOAP notes. The findings suggest the module encouraged student engagement and reflection, leading to long-term retention and skill application.
Case-Based e-Learning Experiences of Second-Year Veterinary Students in a Clinical Medicine Course at the Ontario Veterinary College
Authors: Sawras Michael , Khosa Deep , Lissemore Kerry , Duffield Todd , Defarges Alice
Published: December 2020

Exposure to real-life clinical cases has been regarded as the optimal method of achieving deep learning in medical education. Case-based e-learning (CBEL) has been considered a promising alterative to address challenges in the availability of teaching cases and standardizing case exposure. While the use of CBEL has been positive in veterinary medical education, insight into students’ learning experience with a CBEL tool have not been considered. This article investigates students’ views around the utility and usability of a CBEL tool, as well as perceived effectiveness, clinical confidence, and impact of veterinary students’ learning preferences on CBEL use. Through focus groups as well as pre- and post-use questionnaires, students expressed that the design and utility of the online cases, including their authenticity, played an instrumental role in perspectives and acceptance of the CBEL tool. Students perceived the CBEL tool as highly effective in both achieving CBEL outcomes and teaching a methodical approach to a clinical case. CBEL elements were also perceived to potentially contribute to increased clinical confidence after CBEL use. Additionally, exploration of students’ preferred approach to learning revealed that hands-on learners and those who prefer to learn by practicing and applying knowledge were more likely to show positive perceptions of a CBEL tool. This article’s findings can help guide educators in the future design and implementation of online cases in various capacities and provide a platform for further exploration of the effectiveness and use of CBEL in veterinary medical education.
Influence of the Measurement Parameters on Depth-Resolved Residual Stress Measurements of Deep Rolled Construction Steel using Energy Dispersive X-ray Diffraction
Authors: Breidenstein B. , Heikebrügge S. , Schaumann P. , Dänekas C.
Published: December 2020

In this study, the influence of different measurement parameters of energy dispersive residual stress measurements on the obtained residual stress depth profiles of deep rolled construction steel S355 G10+M was investigated. Especially the diffraction angle θ and afterwards the measuring time t per inclination angle ψ were varied. A diffraction angle of θ = 20° shows an acceptable compromise between achievable information depth and detected total intensity of diffracted X-ray quanta. Furthermore, a measuring time per inclination angle ψ of t = 2,400 s leads to an acceptable standard deviation regarding the determined residual stress states. With these parameters for the energy-dispersive measurement, a comparison between angle-dispersive and energy-dispersive determination of residual stress depth profiles was carried out. Quantitative similarities between these two methods were observed, whereby the energy-dispersive determined residual stress depth profiles are rather discontinuous. A possible explanation could be found in the model used for the calculation of the net-plane-dependent radiographic elastic constants (XEC). In general, the energy-dispersive residual stress measurement was qualified for the determination of residual stress depth profiles of deep rolled construction steel. Based on the findings, a time-efficient non-destructive residual stress measurement can be carried out in the future with the discussed measurement parameters at maximum possible information depth.

Samuel Beckett and the Death of Representation: Rockaby, Ill Seen Ill Said and Worstward Ho
Authors: Colerick Edward
Published: December 2020

The article explores not only the link between Samuel Beckett’s final two novellas and the late drama but also seeks to demonstrate the author’s intent on stripping away the symbolism and imagery within his work in order to expose a life lived through the prism of representation; and, finally, to use his art to suggest something of the ‘real’ beneath the representational world. In this way the article demonstrates that the apotheosis of Beckett’s entire oeuvre is to reduce his narrative and dramas to a single work which finds its most comprehensive embodiment in his final novella: Worstward Ho.
March ’68 from the perspective of victims – approximations (Baral, Naszkowska, Grynberg)
Authors: Dąbrowska Dorota
Published: December 2020

The article deals with the issue of how to recognize the experience of March 1968 in non-fiction literature. The article analyses three publications – Zapiski z wygnania by Sabina Baral, Księga wyjścia by Mikołaj Grynberg and Ani tu, ani tam. Marzec ’68: powroty by Krystyna Naszkowska. The author of the article has set herself the goal of describing the genre diversity of the discussed works and describing various mechanisms for shaping individual messages about March, through which the authors of texts give the events referred to different meanings. The analysis of the publication focuses on the issues of diverse images of Polish anti-Semitism, ways in which Jews perceive the social situation in March 1968, ways of discovering their own identity, and contemporary images of Poland and Poles.
‘Everybody’s Always Here with Me!’
Authors: McNeilly Hannah , Reece Koreen M.
Published: December 2020

Social distancing has been the central public health strategy for tackling the coronavirus pandemic worldwide. But the ‘Stay Home, Stay Safe’ order in the United Kingdom and the consequent closure of nurseries and schools also created an unprecedented degree of proximity within households. Based on interviews with mothers of young children in Scotland, this article provides early insight into the ways that mothers manage the forced intimacies of family life under lockdown and the opportunities they create through the innovative management of space and time. The result is a more expansive understanding of the family in contemporary Scotland and a notion of intimacy characterised as much by the necessity of distance and distinction as by proximity and mutuality.
From Toilet Paper Wars to #ViralKindness?
Authors: Décobert Anne
Published: December 2020

By examining seemingly contradictory reactions to the COVID-19 pandemic and relating these to the basic income debate in Australia, this article explores the potential that the socio-economic crisis provoked by COVID-19 presents for a transformation of welfare systems. Drawing on ethnographic observation, the article describes the emergence of grassroots forms of solidarity in response to the pandemic. Within the context of the increasing hardship experienced by Australians, ongoing failures of existing welfare systems, and inadequate government responses to COVID-19, the groundswell of solidarity may coalesce with increasing support for a basic income, creating a conjunctural movement that propels radical social transformation.
COVID-19 and the Transformation of Intimate Inter- and Intra-National Relations
Authors: Dawson Andrew
Published: December 2020

Based conceptually on Michael Herzfeld’s ideas of cultural intimacy and disemia, and empirically on lockdown auto-ethnography, this article considers how erstwhile intimate inter-and intra-national relations have been transformed by COVID-19. Its particular ethnographic focus is Australian–British post-colonial relations and the personal emergence of a hybrid Br-Australian consciousness.
The intimate borders of epidemiological nationalism
Authors: Goodwin-Hawkins Bryonny
Published: December 2020

Amidst the COVID-19 crisis, nation-states closed borders. Borders divide – and intimate difference. In this article, I trace an emergent epidemiological nationalism which intimates a contagious other, taking ‘the’ border as my (unstable) object. While post-war and post-wall European projects celebrate dismantling borders, bordering continually becomes by saturating space with territoriality. Illustrating epidemiological nationalism’s intimately located here and there, I turn an ethnographic gaze to Wales: a nation yet not a state, with a border that cannot be closed. Through the socio-spatial saturate of the Welsh border’s enduring (non)existence run frictive, entangled intimacies. Meshing border studies with Lauren Berlant’s theorisation of intimacies, I show epidemiology’s conscription in imaginatively inscribing a safely state-like Welsh nation.

Published: December 2020

Produksi hasil pertanian akan bergantung pada luas areal lahan yang digunakan sebagai lahan untuk bertani. Jika luas lahan pertanian menyusut maka produktivitas lahannya akan rendah, dan sebaliknya jika luas lahan pertanian diperluas maka produktivitas lahan pun akan meningkat. Kabupaten Banjar Provinsi Kalimantan Selatan dikenal sebagai salah satu penghasil beras dan pemasok bagi sebagian besar wilayah Kalimantan Selatan, bahkan hasil pertaniannya juga dikirim untuk mencukupi kebutuhan beras daerah lain seperti wilayah Kalimantan Tengah, Kalimantan Timur, dan beberapa wilayah di pulau Jawa. Penelitian ini bertujuan melakukan perhitungan deviasi antara produksi beras dengan kebutuhan pangan beras bagi masyarakat dengan memperhatikan faktor-faktor pendukung produksi beras, serta melakukan analisis secara geospasial terhadap luas lahan (ruang) pertanian berdasarkan hasil perhitungan pada masing-masing wilayah administrasi kabupaten dengan memanfaatakan teknologi Sistem Informasi Geografis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Kabupaten Banjar pada tahun 2016 mengalami surplus produksi beras sebesar 85.847,2 ton beras dan tahun 2017 Kabupaten Banjar juga mengalami surplus produksi beras sebesar 69151,74 ton beras. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa dalam tahun 2016 dan 2017 Kabupaten Banjar masih bisa memenuhi kebutuhan beras penduduk. Namun setelah dilakukan analisis pada setiap kecamatannya terlihat bahwa pada tahun 2016 dan 2017 di Kabupaten Banjar masih terdapat beberapa kecamatan yang mengalami kekurangan jumlah produksi beras. Hal tersebut dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor diantaranya yaitu pertambahan jumlah penduduk dan berkurangnya luas lahan yang ditanami dengan komoditi padi di Kabupaten Banjar. Hal ini menimbulkan kurangnya pemerataan jumlah produksi beras pada kecamatan yang ada di Kabupaten Banjar.
Deep learning based Blockchain solution for preserving privacy in future vehicles

Published: December 2020

The Internet of Things (smart things) is used in many sectors and applications due to recent technological advances. One of such application is in the transportation system, which is of primary use for the users to move from one place to another place. The smart devices which were embedded in vehicles are useful for the passengers to solve his/her query, wherein future vehicles will be fully automated to the advanced stage, i.e. future cars with driverless feature. These autonomous cars will help people a lot to reduce their time and increases their productivity in their respective (associated) business. In today’s generation and in the near future, privacy preserving and trust will be a major concern among users and autonomous vehicles and hence, this paper will be able to provide clarity for the same. Many attempts in previous decade have provided many efficient mechanisms, but they all work only with vehicles along with a driver. However, these mechanisms are not valid and useful for future vehicles. In this paper, we will use deep learning techniques for building trust using recommender systems and Blockchain technology for privacy preserving. We also maintain a certain level of trust via maintaining the highest level of privacy among users living in a particular environment. In this research, we developed a framework that could offer maximum trust or reliable communication to users over the road network. With this, we also preserve privacy of users during traveling, i.e., without revealing identity of respective users from Trusted Third Parties or even Location Based Service in reaching a destination. Thus, Deep Learning based Blockchain Solution (DLBS) is illustrated for providing an efficient recommendation system.
Multilevel term analysis for adaptive document filtering1
Authors: Bruzón Adrian Fonseca , López-López Aurelio , Pagola José E. Medina
Published: December 2020

Humans tend to organize information in documents in a logical and intentional way. This organization, which we call textual structure, is commonly in terms of sections, chapters, paragraphs, or sentences. This structure facilitates the understanding of the content that we want to transmit to the readers. However, such structure, in which we usually encode the semantic content of information, is not usually exploited by the filtering methods for the construction of a user profile. In this work, we propose the use of term relations considering different context levels for enhancing document filtering. We propose methods for obtaining the representation, considering the existence of imbalance between the documents that satisfy the information needs of users, as well as the Cold Start problem (having scarce information) during the initial construction of the user profile. The experiments carried out allowed to assess the impact, in terms of T11SU measure, on the filtering task of the proposed representation.
Collective annotation patterns in learning from crowds
Authors: Mena Francisco , Ñanculef Ricardo , Valle Carlos
Published: December 2020

The lack of annotated data is one of the major barriers facing machine learning applications today. Learning from crowds, i.e. collecting ground-truth data from multiple inexpensive annotators, has become a common method to cope with this issue. It has been recently shown that modeling the varying quality of the annotations obtained in this way, is fundamental to obtain satisfactory performance in tasks where inexpert annotators may represent the majority but not the most trusted group. Unfortunately, existing techniques represent annotation patterns for each annotator individually, making the models difficult to estimate in large-scale scenarios. In this paper, we present two models to address these problems. Both methods are based on the hypothesis that it is possible to learn collective annotation patterns by introducing confusion matrices that involve groups of data point annotations or annotators. The first approach clusters data points with a common annotation pattern, regardless the annotators from which the labels have been obtained. Implicitly, this method attributes annotation mistakes to the complexity of the data itself and not to the variable behavior of the annotators. The second approach explicitly maps annotators to latent groups that are collectively parametrized to learn a common annotation pattern. Our experimental results show that, compared with other methods for learning from crowds, both methods have advantages in scenarios with a large number of annotators and a small number of annotations per annotator.
Evaluating pattern restrictions for associative classifiers
Authors: Andy González-Méndez , Diana Martín , Eduardo Morales , Milton García-Borroto
Published: December 2020

Associative classification is a pattern recognition approach that integrates classification and association rule discovery to build accurate classification models. These models are formed by a collection of contrast patterns that fulfill some restrictions. In this paper, we introduce an experimental comparison of the impact of using different restrictions in the classification accuracy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that such analysis is performed, deriving some interesting findings about how restrictions impact on the classification results. Contrasting these results with previously published papers, we found that their conclusions could be unintentionally biased by the restrictions they used. We found, for example, that the jumping restriction could severely damage the pattern quality in the presence of dataset noise. We also found that the minimal support restriction has a different effect in the accuracy of two associative classifiers, therefore deciding which one is the best depends on the support value. This paper opens some interesting lines of research, mainly in the creation of new restrictions and new pattern types by joining different restrictions.
Interpretable and effective hashing via Bernoulli variational auto-encoders
Authors: Mena Francisco , Ñanculef Ricardo , Valle Carlos
Published: December 2020

Due to the rapid increase in the amount of data generated in many fields of science and engineering, information retrieval methods tailored to large-scale datasets have become increasingly important in the last years. Semantic hashing is an emerging technique for this purpose that works on the idea of representing complex data objects, like images and text, using similarity-preserving binary codes that are then used for indexing and search. In this paper, we investigate a hashing algorithm that uses a deep variational auto-encoder to learn and predict the codes. Unlike previous approaches of this type, that learn a continuous (Gaussian) representation and then project the embedding to obtain hash codes, our method employs Bernoulli latent variables in both the training and the prediction stage. Constraining the model to use a binary encoding allow us to obtain a more interpretable representation for hashing: each factor in the generative model represents a bit that should help to reconstruct and thus identify the input pattern. Interestingly, we found that the binary constraint does not lead to a loss but an increase of search accuracy. We argue that continuous formulations learn a representation that can significantly differ from the code used for search. Minding this gap in the design of the auto-encoder can translate into more accurate retrieval results. Extensive experiments on seven datasets involving image data and text data illustrate these findings and demonstrate the advantages of our approach.

Authors: Nurhayati Annisa
Published: December 2020

The formative assessment offers more informative aspects for the improvement in teaching and learning activity, unlike the summative assessment that teachers commonly apply. Therefore, the essence of learning is accomplished. Furthermore, the teachers can adjust the teaching to suit the students' needs through formative assessment. However, such research about formative assessment in English Foreign Language context is limited. This study intended to see the practice of formative assessment in the English Foreign Language writing class of the secondary school students and its impact on the teaching and learning activity. Thirty students and an English teacher participated in this research. In undergoing this case study, the researcher gathered the data from the questionnaire and interview, then analyze the data using inductive procedure analysis. The study revealed that students obtained more opportunity to share ideas with their peers. Therefore, it makes students more active in learning. Formative assessment also helps the students to improve writing in several aspects such as the grammatical aspect and the language use. Besides, students built up a positive attitude to writing and formative assessment as they can reflect from the discussion and feedback. This research will benefit teachers regarding conduct formative assessment in EFL writing and for other researchers to carry out the same research topic.

Published: December 2020

Usaha budidaya lebah madu Trigona spp di Lombok semakin berkembang pesat. Faktor yang mempengaruhi hal tersebut dikarenakan budidaya trigona mampu menghasilkan produk perlebahan berupa madu, propolis dan bee bread. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui produksi propolis mentah (raw propolis) lebah madu Trigona spp di Pulau Lombok. Penelitian dilaksanakan dari April 2012 sampai dengan Desember 2014. Lokasi penelitian dilakukan di Ds. Lendang Nangka, Lombok Timur; Ds. Sigar Penjalin dan  Ds. Genggelang, Lombok Utara serta Ds. Karang Bayan, Lombok Barat. Masing – masing lokasi penelitian budidaya lebah madu Trigona tahun 2012 mempunyai 6 stup. Metode penelitian dilakukan dengan observasi di lapangan kemudian data diolah dan ditabulasi kemudian dianalis secara deskriptif. Hasil produksi raw propolis tahun 2012 terbanyak diproduksi di Ds. Lendang Nangka dengan jumlah rata-rata 75.63 gr/6 bulan/6 stup. Tahun 2013, hasil raw propolisnya terbanyak di Ds. Genggelang dengan jumlah rata-rata 94.38 gram/6 bulan/6 stup dan tahun 2014  produksi raw propolis tertinggi di Ds. Sigar Penjalin dengan jumlah rata-rata 102.84 gram/6 bulan/4 stup. Dari tahun 2012 sampai 2014 jumlah stup semakin berkurang pada masing – masing lokasi penelitian. Jumlah stup berkurang disebabkan karena adanya koloni yang kurang sehat dan akhirnya meninggalkan stup. Banyaknya produksi raw propolis tidak terpengaruh oleh banyaknya stup yang dimiliki, namun adanya faktor pendukung lain seperti faktor lingkungan (suhu dan kelembaban), pakan yang tersedia dan kesehatan koloni lebah madu Trigona spp.

Published: December 2020

This study aims to estimate the volume of commercial trees at PT. Limbang Ganeca based on Stratified Random Sampling carried out on the RKL VII area of the HPH with an area of 16,101 hectares with a forested area of 15,215 hectares. The area of the study area is 76.08 hectares which is divided into strata based on the slope class and stand density. Based on the results of stratification of topographic maps and vegetation maps, there is a combination of slope I class, slope II class, slope class III and three forest stratum with a combination of 9 forest strata. From this combination the diameter at breast height is measured to assess the volume of the tree.Based on the results of data analysis, slope class factors can be used in estimating volume, while stand density and interaction factors for these two factors cannot be used in estimating tree volume. From the results of measuring the diameter at breast height and calculating tree volume, the average volume of the area was 109,9898 m3 / hectare or around 108,309 to 111,487 m3 / hectare. While the overall volume of the RKL VII area ranges from 1,647,950,462 to 1,696,304,584 m3.

Tree height measurement is one part of the inventory activity of standing trees before logging which requires a relatively long time and quite expensive costs, so it needs to use a more productive measuring instrument. There are several commonly used tree height measuring instruments, including the clinometer and hagameter. This study aim is to determine the working time of measuring tree height with clinometer and hagameter. The research method used was to determine the sample tree randomly, then measured the height of each tree with the clinometer and hagameter.  In addition,  it also calculates the length of time the measurement of the height of each instrument by recording the start and finish time of each measurement activity carried out. The results showed that measuring the height of a tree using clinometer takes 0.68 minutes per tree in average, and using a stick meter aid takes  1.18 minutes in average, and by using haga with a scale board aids takes 0.88 minutes per tree in average. Thus the measurement of tree height by using a clinometer is faster than using haga, while measuring the height of a tree using a hagameter with a scale board is faster than a meter.
