Authors: Suprihandani Eny , Jacinda Thea
Published: December 2019

Literature can be analyzed from many perspectives and point of views. By using psychoanalytic approach, this paper attempts to analyze one of the Shakespearean’s characters, Antony in the drama Antony and Cleopatra. The objective is to prove whether Antony truly suffers from Borderline Personality Disorder. Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a personality disorder whose essential features are a pattern of marked impulsivity and instability of affects, interpersonal relationships, and self-image. Psychoanalysis theory is a theory developed by Sigmund Freud that enables to analyze whether a person suffers from a certain mental disease. Using those approaches, the characterization of Antony can be analyzed from his words, thoughts and other character’s opinion about him and then compared to the symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and then found if they are matched. That Antony suffers from Borderline Personality Disorder can be finally proved.

Published: December 2019

English pronunciation mastery is required by English as a foreign language (EFL) students. However, it seems difficult due to several reasons including the differences in producing the English letter comparing with the students’ native language. This study aims to identify the EFL students' voice in learning English pronunciation. A descriptive method was applied involving a group of 22 students from the English education program at STKIP Kusuma Negara, Jakarta, Indonesia as a subject of the research. The data of this study were obtained from an observation, a questionnaire, and a semi-structured interview. The results of this study indicate that all respondent realizes the importance of English pronunciation mastery. In addition, they found many challenges in pronunciation learning such as lack of English pronunciation ability, the influence of students’ mother tongue in producing the English words, uninterested pronunciation learning process, and low motivation in practicing to pronounce the English words. It is important for the English instructors to develop the strategy in delivering English pronunciation lessons based on students’ background including their characteristics as the EFL students.

Accuracy of Demirjian and Willems Methods for Age Estimation of Children from Northern Argentina
Authors: Aragón Hugo Norberto
Published: December 2019

The dental development is widely used to estimate the chronological age; one method frequently used is that of Demirjian, applied in Franc-Canadian children, and the other is that of Willems, adapted from the first one to Belgian children. Demirjian uses scores according to the degree of calcification of the seven permanent mandible teeth of the left side; Willems adapts to years the scale of scores of Demirjian.

Objective: To analyze the accuracy in determining the chronological age through the degree of dental calcification using the methods of Demirjian and of Willems in children from Tucumán, Argentina.

Methods: 66 children (29 female and 37 male) who assisted to radiological studies previous to the dental treatment were selected. Panoramic X-rays were taken. Dental ages were calculated using the corresponding tables of the methods of Demirjian and Willems. Chronological ages were calculated between the date of birth and the date of the study. The statistical paired t-test was used.

Results: Through the method of Demirjian the mean of the differences was 0.44 ± 0.96 for girls and 0.49 ± 1.02 for boys, being significant differences between both genders. The method of Willems was more accurate than that one of Demirjian (-0.08 ± 0.92 for girls and 0.19 ± 0.94 for boys), being no significant differences between the dental and the chronological ages.

Conclusion: According to these results both methods could be used to estimate the chronological age through the observed dental calcification in radiographic images of children from northern Argentina. Nevertheless, greater statistical accuracy with the method of Willems would be reached for both genders.

A Case Report and Literature Review of Clobazam Toxicity Related to CBD and Clobazam Drug-Drug Interaction
Authors: Kheireldin Rowida
Published: December 2019

Background: The interest in the anti-seizure efficacy of cannabinoids has significantly increased over the past decade. Trials have shown a remarkable reduction in the frequency of convulsive seizures in Dravet and Lennox-Gastaut syndromes patient population. Studies have shown that CBD reacts with clobazam leading to a significant increase in the levels of N- desmethylclobazam, the active metabolite of clobazam. We present a case of a patient with Dravet Syndrome who presented to the ED with altered mental status secondary to clobazam toxicity related to CBD and clobazam drug-drug interaction.

Methods and Findings: We present a case of a patient with Dravet Syndrome who presented to the ED with altered mental status. Patient was hospitalized and CBD was held off. Clobazam level and N-desmethylclobazam levels were obtained and came back elevated at 512 and 15020 respectively. Studies have reported clobazam toxicity secondary to CBD and clobazam drug- drug interaction since both drugs are metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes and glucuronyl transferases.

Conclusion: Studies have shown the drug interactions of CBD with co-anti-epileptics, including a remarkable increase in the N-desmethylclobazam levels, the active metabolite of clobazam,which confirms the significant importance of monitoring blood levels for clobazam and norclobazam in patients using both CBD and clobazam, in addition for the need to reduce the Clobazam doses for this group of patients. Additional well-controlled studies are essential to establish the recommended doses and the management of the doses of other concomitant anti- epileptics medications with CBD use.

Epidemiology of Acute Appendicitis
Authors: Sarla Gurmeet Singh
Published: December 2019

Introduction: Surgery for acute appendicitis is the most common surgery performed worldwide.

Aim: This study was led to investigate the statistical attributes, occurrence, and patterns of Acute Appendicitis over a time frame of two years from Jan 2017 to Dec 2018 at a peripheral hospital in Maharashtra, India. It likewise contemplated the measurement of informative supplement in instances of Acute Appendicitis on Ultrasonography assessment and dissected the histopathology reports of the appendectomy specimens.

Materials: We directed a retrospective analysis to evaluate the statistical highlights including the demographic features and seasonal variation of acute appendicitis in a peripheral hospital in Maharashtra, India over a time of two years from Jan 2017 to Dec 2018. Ultrasound reports of all cases worked for Acute Appendicitis were analysed. All carefully resected appendectomy specimens which were submitted for histopathological studies and histopathology reports were analysed.

Results and Conclusion: The occurrence of Acute Appendicitis is increasingly common in males when contrasted with females. The most elevated rate happens in the age group of 20-30 years. Negative appendectomies were 18.68% and females were all the more regularly worked for negative appendectomies (12 out of 17 making it to 70.58%). The frequency is most noteworthy in the long stretches of October (15.94%) and November (13.04%).Ultrasonography of the abdomen uncovered a diameter of more than 6mm as a rule of acute appendicitis. In a perfect therapeutic world, we might want to ideally determine and get all patients having suspected Acute Appendicitis undergo appendicectomy without negative appendectomies yet a fine parity must be kept up between the potential dangers of negative appendectomy as opposed to inclining the patient to the probability of appendicular perforation at whatever point there is an analytic difficulty.

This study aimed to investigate the efficacy, safety, and prognostic factors of drug-eluting beads transarterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) in treating Chinese patients with liver cancer. A total of 367 liver cancer patients from 24 medical centers were consecutively enrolled in this
multiple-center, prospective cohort study, including 275 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cases, 37 intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) cases, and 55 secondary liver cancer cases. All the patients received CalliSpheres® DEB-TACE treatment. Treatment response, overall survival
(OS), change of liver function, and adverse events (AEs) were assessed. DEB-TACE treatment achieved 19.9% complete response (CR) and 79.6% objective response rate (ORR), with mean OS of 384 days [95% confidence interval (CI): 375‐393 days]. CR and ORR were both higher in HCC patients
compared with primary ICC patients and secondary liver cancer patients, while no difference was discovered in OS. Portal vein invasion was an independent risk factor for CR, while portal vein invasion, previous conventional TACE (cTACE) treatment, and abnormal blood creatinine (BCr) were independent
risk factors for ORR. In addition, largest nodule size ≥5.0 cm, abnormal albumin (ALB), and abnormal total bilirubin (TBIL) independently correlated with unfavorable OS. Most liver function indexes were recovered to baseline levels at 1‐3 months after DEB-TACE. Common AEs were pain,
fever, vomiting, and nausea; most of them were at mild grade. CalliSpheres® DEB-TACE is efficient and well tolerated in Chinese liver cancer patients. Portal vein invasion, previous cTACE treatment, largest nodule size, abnormal BCr, ALB, and TBIL correlate with worse prognosis
independently.

Published: December 2019

Purpose – We investigated how thriving at work and ethical leadership affects the employee psychological well-being. Further, we also examined the mediating role of voice behaviour between thriving at work and employee psychological well-being as well as ethical leadership and employee psychological well-being. Research methodology – A quantitative research method was utilized to collect data from employees of a telecommunication company. SPSS and Process Macro were used for data analysis. Findings – Results demonstrated that thriving at work and ethical leadership are positively associated with employee psychological well-being. Furthermore, the employee voice behaviour acts as a mediator between thriving at work, ethical leadership and employee well-being. Research limitations – All of the data in this study were collected from single source i.e., employees of information technology industry and also specific to a metropolitan city like Lahore. Further, study has a very limited representation of the females. Practical implications – the findings suggest that organizations should create such an environment where managers are able to have positive verbal interactions with employees that may facilitate their well-being and makes them satisfied with their jobs. Originality/Value – This study is one of the first studies to investigate the association between voice behaviour, thriving at work, employee psychological as well as psychological well-being.

Authors: Pishdar Mahsa , Ghasemzadeh Fatemeh , Antuchevičienė Jurgita
Published: December 2019

Hub airports are the ones that model networks in which most journeys go via a few central points. Famous hub airports deliver positive social and environmental impact to the communities along with economic effects. This paper is about to investigate indicators related to hub performance excellence from various angles, considering leading hub airports performance while determining the priorities in order to help airports especially in developing countries to find the way of progress. A list of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) is prepared from the literature, which is prioritized using Best-Worst Method (BWM). The weights of these criteria are specified via application of interval type-2 fuzzy BWM. Then using five most important criteria, MACBETH (Measuring Attractiveness by a Categorical Based Evaluation TecHnique) ranking approach is used to analyse 19 Iranian international airports and find the most appropriate one for being hub airport. The results show Kish airport with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) code “OIBK” is prior to other airports and can be chosen as the hub airport that means Iran airports holding company is suggested to focus more investments in this airport to gain fastest possible benefits of an international hub airport.
Transition Region Loops in the Very Late Phase of Flux Emergence in IRIS Sit-and-stare Observations
Authors: Huang Zhenghua , Li Bo , Xia Lidong , Shi MiJie , Fu Hui , Hou Zhenyong
Published: December 2019

Loops are one of the fundamental structures that trace the geometry of the magnetic field in the solar atmosphere. Their evolution and dynamics provide a crucial proxy for studying how the magnetized structures are formed and heated in the solar atmosphere. Here, we report on spectroscopic observations of a set of transition-region loops taken by the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) at Si iv 1394 Å in the sit-and-stare mode. The loops are corresponding to the flux emergence at its very late phase when the emerged magnetic features in the photosphere have fully developed. We find the transition-region loops are still expanding and moving upward with a velocity of a few kilometers per second (≲10 km s−1) at this stage. The expansion of the loops leads to interactions between the loops themselves and with the ambient field, which can drive magnetic reconnection evidenced by multiple intense brightenings, including transition-region explosive events and IRIS bombs in the footpoint region associated with the moving polarity. A set of quasi-periodic brightenings with a period of about 130 s is found at the loop apex, from which the Si iv 1394 Å profiles are significantly non-Gaussian with enhancements at both blue and red wings at Doppler velocities of about 50 km s−1. We suggest that the transition-region loops in the very late phase of flux emergence can be powered by heating events generated by the interactions between the expanding loops and the ambient fields and also by (quasi-)periodic processes, such as oscillation-modulated braiding reconnection.

Published: December 2019

We perform a stacking analysis of Planck, AKARI, Infrared Astronomical Satellite, Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, and Herschel images of the largest number of (candidate) protoclusters at z ∼ 3.8 selected from the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program. Stacking the images of the 179 candidate protoclusters, the combined infrared (IR) emission of the protocluster galaxies in the observed 12–850 μm wavelength range is successfully detected with >5σ significance (at Planck). This is the first time that the average IR spectral energy distribution (SED) of a protocluster has been constrained at z ∼ 4. The observed IR SEDs of the protoclusters exhibit significant excess emission in the mid-IR compared to that expected from typical star-forming galaxies (SFGs). They are reproduced well using SED models of intense starburst galaxies with warm/hot dust heated by young stars, or by a population of active galactic nucleus (AGN)/SFG composites. For the pure star-forming model, a total IR (from 8–1000 μm) luminosity of

Meanwhile, no significant IR flux excess is observed around optically selected QSOs at similar redshifts, which confirms previous results. Our results suggest that the z ∼ 4 protoclusters trace dense, intensely star-forming environments that may also host obscured AGNs missed by the selection in the optical.

Several scenarios were suggested for the origins of gravitational-wave (GW) sources from mergers of stellar binary black holes (BBHs). Here we propose a novel origin through catalyzed formation of GW sources from ultra-wide binaries in the field. Such binaries experience perturbations from random stellar flybys that excite their eccentricities. Once a wide binary is driven to a sufficiently small pericenter approach, GW emission becomes significant, and the binary inspirals and merges. We derive an analytic model and verify it with numerical calculation to compute the merger rate to be

(f
wide is the fraction of wide BH-binaries), which is a relevant contribution to the observationally inferred rate. The observational signatures from this channel include spin-orbit misalignment; preference for high mass ratio BBH; preference for high velocity dispersion host galaxies; and a uniform delay-time distribution.

In this Letter we focus on the peculiar case of a coalescing compact-object binary whose chirp mass is compatible both with a neutron star–neutron star and black hole–neutron star system, with the black hole in the ∼3–5 M
⊙ range defined as the “mass gap.” Some models of core-collapse supernovae predict the formation of such low-mass black holes and a recent observation seems to confirm their existence. Here we show that the nature of the companion to the neutron star can be inferred from the properties of the kilonova emission once we know the chirp mass, which is the best constrained parameter inferred from the gravitational signal in low-latency searches. In particular, we find that the kilonova in the black hole–neutron star case is far more luminous than in the neutron star–neutron star case, even when the black hole is nonspinning. The difference in the kilonovae brightness arises primarily from the mass ejected during the merger. Indeed, in the considered interval of chirp masses, the mass ejection in double neutron star mergers is at its worst as the system promptly forms a black hole. Instead mass ejection for the black hole–neutron star case is at its best as the neutron stars have low mass/large deformability. The kilonovae from black hole–neutron star systems can differ by two to three magnitudes. The outcome is only marginally dependent on the equation of state. The difference is above the systematics in the modeling.
Candidate Hypervelocity Red Clump Stars in the Galactic Bulge Found Using the VVV and Gaia Surveys*

We propose a new way to search for hypervelocity stars (HVS) in the Galactic bulge, by using red clump (RC) giants, that are good distance indicators. The second Gaia Data Release and the near-IR data from the VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) Survey led to the selection of a volume limited sample of 34 bulge RC stars. A search in this combined data set leads to the discovery of seven candidate hypervelocity red clump stars in the Milky Way bulge. Based on this search we estimate the total production rate of hypervelocity RC stars from the central supermassive black hole (SMBH) to be N
HVRC = 3.26 × 10−4 yr−1. This opens up the possibility of finding larger samples of HVS in the Galactic bulge using future surveys, closer to their main production site, if they originated from interactions of binaries with the central SMBH.

Solar-type stars are born with relatively rapid rotation and strong magnetic fields. Through a process known as magnetic braking, the rotation slows over time as stellar winds gradually remove angular momentum from the system. The rate of angular momentum loss depends sensitively on the magnetic morphology, with the dipole field exerting the largest torque on the star. Recent observations suggest that the efficiency of magnetic braking may decrease dramatically in stars near the middle of their main-sequence lifetimes. One hypothesis to explain this reduction in efficiency is a shift in magnetic morphology from predominantly larger to smaller spatial scales. We aim to test this hypothesis with spectropolarimetric measurements of two stars that sample chromospheric activity levels on opposite sides of the proposed magnetic transition. As predicted, the more active star (HD 100180) exhibits a significant circular polarization signature due to a nonaxisymmetric large-scale magnetic field, while the less active star (HD 143761) shows no significant signal. We identify analogs of the two stars among a sample of well-characterized Kepler targets, and we predict that the asteroseismic age of HD 143761 from future Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite observations will substantially exceed the age expected from gyrochronology. We conclude that a shift in magnetic morphology likely contributes to the loss of magnetic braking in middle-aged stars, which appears to coincide with the shutdown of their global dynamos.

BACKGROUND: World Health Organization stated that one-third of the world's population has tuberculosis with one infected person in every second. In 2015 there were 330,910 tuberculosis cases in Indonesia. This number increased compared to 2014, which amounted to 324,539 cases. HIV-positive patients with extrapulmonary tuberculosis accounted for 50% of TB cases, of which 35% were lymphadenitis. Lymph node fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is considered effective in determining the early diagnosis of lymphadenopathy.
AIM: This study aims to evaluate the association between cytological features and CD4 level in HIV-associated tuberculous lymphadenitis patients in Haji Adam Malik Hospital in 2017.
METHODS: This is an analytical study with a cross-sectional approach involving 42 samples. Cytological features were obtained by slide reviewed and CD4 level were obtained from the medical record.
RESULTS: Analysis of the association of cytological features with CD4 level association revealed p-value of 0.353.
CONCLUSION: This indicates that there is no significant association between FNA cytological features and CD4 level in HIV-associated tuberculous lymphadenitis patients.
Construção de significados em aulas práticas de laboratório de biologia: uma avaliação por delineamento quase-experimental

O objetivo foi avaliar a construção de conceitos biológicos quando os alunos são submetidos a atividades práticas em laboratório. Três turmas de ensino médio participaram (C, E1 e E2), sendo escolhidas sob critérios pré-definidos. E1 e E2 participaram de quatro diferentes aulas práticas em laboratório, enquanto a C apenas assistiu a aulas expositivas. Os grupos realizaram uma avaliação ao final de cada conteúdo abordado, sendo as correções realizadas por três diferentes avaliadores. Não houve diferenças significativas entre as notas dos avaliadores, indicando adequação nos critérios de avaliação inter-avaliadores. Quanto aos grupos, a análise descritiva revelou notas inferiores para o C quando comparado à E1 e E2. Pode-se concluir que as dimensões do ensino teórico não são isoladas do prático, mas que ambos são complementares ao outro, havendo sempre a construção dos conceitos quando ambos são ministrados de forma concomitante pelo professor de biologia.

From Wavefront Device to Laser: An Alignment Method for Complete Registration of the Ablation to the Cornea
Authors: Chernyak Dimitri A
Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: When customized laser refractive surgery is based on a wavefront measurement, correct registration of the laser ablation to the prescribed treatment area is vital. If the treatment is not ablated exactly where it was measured, the error could negate some benefits of the procedure. Currently, treatments are aligned to the pupil center, which has been shown to shift between measurement and treatment. This article describes an alignment method that uses an image-based coordinate system to compensate for shifts of the pupil center as well as eye Io rotation.

METHODS: Images of patients' eyes were taken during wavefront measurements and again when patients were in position for surgery. An image-processing method, which matches multiple ocular landmarks in both image sets, was used to align the laser beam to the ablation target.

RESULTS: Analyses of the data collected from both instruments suggest that alignment errors caused by movement of the pupil center and cyclorotation could be significantly reduced by using the proposed alignment method.

CONCLUSIONS: Because the pupil center undergoes significant movement with changes in lighting conditions, it is unsuitable as the sole alignment point for custom ablations. Several reference points are necessary to compensate for changing pupil size as well as the cyclotorsional eye position changes that occur between wavefront measurement and laser procedure. By providing multiple points for alignment, the registration method described herein increases safety and effectiveness of wavefront-based laser vision correction. [J Refract Surg. 2005;21:463-468.]

Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Moria M2 single use 130 microkeratome head in consecutive LASIK procedures for correction of myopia and myopic astigmatism.

METHODS: One hundred eyes of 55 patients underwent LASIK in which the flaps were created with the Moria M 2 microkeratome using the single use 130 head and excimer laser ablation was done with the Allegretto Wavelight laser. Flap parameters measured were: thickness, diameter, hinge length, and overall quality. Preoperative uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), refraction, wavefront aberrations, and low contrast sensitivity were compared to postoperative values at 6-month follow-up.

RESULTS: Mean flap thickness was 145 ?17. 5 ?im, mean flap diameter was 8.5?0.40 mm, and mean hinge cord length was 4. 05 ?0.35 mm. At 6-month follow-up, UCVA improved from 20/200 (?0.24) to 20/18.5 (?0.12) and BSCVA improved from 20/20.5 (?0.18) to 20/17.5 (?0.11).

CONCLUSIONS: The Moria M2 single use 130 microkeratome head appears to be safe and effective in performing LASIK procedures. [J Refract Surg. 2005;21:476-479.]

Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To report a rare case of late bilateral ectasia developing after LASIK for low myopia without preoperative risk factors.

METHODS: A 21-year-old man underwent bilateral uneventful LASIK for low myopia of -2.75 diopters in both eyes. Preoperative corneal pachymetry was 531 µm in the right eye and 526 µm in the left eye. The total ablation depth was 46.8 µm in the right eye and 42.2 µm in the left eye. Preoperative corneal topography was normal and did not reveal forme fruste keratoconus.

RESULTS: Twenty-four months postoperatively, the patient developed bilateral inferior keratectasia of +0.50 -3.00 × 72° in the right eye and +1.00 -2.75 × 99° in the left eye.

CONCLUSIONS: Late keratectasia may follow LASIK for low myopia despite a thorough preoperative work-up. [J Refract Surg. 2005;21:494-496.]
