Differential expression of cytochrome P450 family 4 subfamily V member 2 in human epithelial ovarian cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: September 2021

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal gynecologic cancer (1). We performed discovery of genes associated with epithelial ovarian cancer and of the high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) subtype, using published microarray data (2, 3) to compare global gene expression profiles of normal ovary or fallopian tube with that of primary tumors from women diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer or HGSC. We identified the gene encoding cytochrome P450 family 4 subfamily V member 2, CYP4V2, as among the genes whose expression was most different in epithelial ovarian cancer as compared to the normal fallopian tube. CYP4V2 expression was significantly lower in high-grade serous ovarian tumors relative to normal fallopian tube. CYP4V2 expression correlated with overall survival in patients with ovarian cancer. These data indicate that expression of CYP4V2 is perturbed in epithelial ovarian cancers broadly and in ovarian cancers of the HGSC subtype. CYP4V2 may be relevant to pathways underlying ovarian cancer initiation (transformation) or progression.

Power Analysis for Conditional Indirect Effects: A Tutorial for Conducting Monte Carlo Simulations with Categorical Exogenous Variables
Authors: Donnelly Samuel , Jorgensen Terrence D. , Rudolph Cort
Published: September 2021

Conceptual and statistical models that include conditional indirect effects (i.e., so-called “moderated mediation” models) are increasingly popular in the behavioral sciences. Although there is ample guidance in the literature for how to specify and test such models, there is scant advice regarding how to best design studies for such purposes, and this especially includes techniques for sample size planning (i.e., “power analysis”). In this paper, we discuss challenges in sample size planning for moderated mediation models and offer a tutorial for conducting Monte Carlo simulations in the specific case where one has categorical exogenous variables. Such a scenario is commonly faced when one is considering testing conditional indirect effects in experimental research, wherein the (assumed) predictor and moderator variables are manipulated factors and the (assumed) mediator and outcome variables are observed/measured variables. To support this effort, we offer example data and reproducible R code that constitutes a “toolkit” to make up for limitations in other software and aid researchers in the design of research to test moderated mediation models.

Generation of Wholly Thermoplastic Composites and Their Processing in Additive Manufacturing
Authors: Chen Tianran , Baid Donald , Han Jier
Published: September 2021

3D printing has attracted great interest over the past three decades due to its high precision, less waste generation and design freedom[1-3]. One of the major challenges 3D printing is the poor mechanical performance of pure polymer parts. Researchers used traditional carbon and glass fiber reinforced composites to overcome this issue [4-7]. The traditional fibers can improve the mechanical properties of printed parts. However, the manufacturing techniques and printing process restrict the overall performance of the printed parts. Thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer (TLCP) is another reinforcement which offers lighter weight, lower viscosity, excellent mechanical performance and great recyclability [8-15]. TLCPs are capable of forming extended conformations when subjected to extensional or shear deformation.[16, 17] The formation of highly orientated molecular structure enables the generation of high mechanical properties . In this study, polyamide was reinforced with TLCP by the dual-extrusion technique to generate high performance composite filaments [18]. Rheological tests were used to optimize the processing conditions of the dual-extrusion process, which could minimize the degradation of matrix polymer. High performance and lightweight fiber-reinforced composite parts were fabricated by utilizing the fused filament fabrication (FFF) technique. The composite filaments were printed at the temperature below the melting point of TLCP to avoid the relaxation of TLCP. The mechanical performances of printed parts are greater than 3D printed parts which are reinforced by conventional fibers.

Objective: Emerging evidence indicates that the mental health consequences of COVID-19 may not be as deleterious as initially feared. We analyzed the levels of symptom expression and rates of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), and COVID-19 related Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (C19-PTSD) in the adult population of Ireland at different points during the first year of the pandemic.Methods: Data were collected from a nationally representative sample of 1041 adults across five waves from March/April 2020 to March/April 2021. New participants were recruited at follow-up waves to maintain nationally representative cross-sectional estimates. Cross-sectional estimates of each and any disorder were calculated, and longitudinal changes in means and prevalence estimates of MDD, GAD, and C19-PTSD were assessed using structural equation modelling.Results: Cross-sectional estimates of meeting criteria for MDD, GAD, or C19-PTSD were 34.7% in March/April 2020 (Wave 1) and 33.7% in March/April 2021 (Wave 5). Longitudinal analyses revealed no significant change in symptoms of MDD, a significant decrease in GAD symptoms, and a significant increase in C19-PTSD symptoms. There were significant decreases in prevalence estimates of MDD (by 4.9%) and GAD (by 6.3%), and no significant change in C19-PTSD. Overall, 4.7% fewer people met criteria for any disorder at Wave 5 than at Wave 1. Conclusion: There was no evidence of an increase in mental health problems in the adult population during the first year of the pandemic in Ireland. Analyses of longitudinal data indicated a small but significant decrease in the proportion of people suffering from a mental health disorder.
Spontaneous State Inferences
Authors: Kruse Felix , Degner Juliane
Published: September 2021

Perceivers routinely draw inferences about others from their behavior in an attempt to make sense of the world. Previous research has established that spontaneous inferences include stable characteristics such as traits and a number of variable person-related concepts such as goals, intentions, and motivations. The current research investigated the occurrence of more general spontaneous state inferences. In a series of four preregistered studies (N = 883), we adapted two established experimental paradigms frequently used in spontaneous social inference research to the investigation of spontaneous trait and state inferences. In Studies 1 and 2, we observed evidence for the occurrence of spontaneous state inferences from state-implying statements. In Studies 3 and 4, we observed the simultaneous occurrence of spontaneous trait and state inferences from statements that allowed for both inferences. In a fifth study (N = 97), we provide evidence that people represent states and traits as functionally different: Participants judged the likelihood of behavioral repetition higher when the same behavior was related to a trait-inference than a state inference. The observation of multiple simultaneous spontaneous inferences in the current research suggests that further theory building regarding the underlying mechanisms and processes of spontaneous impression formation in person perception from behavior is warranted.
Keep calm and manage impulsivity: Mood as a modulator of impulsive behaviour
Authors: Herman Aleksandra Maria , Duka Theodora
Published: September 2021

This study investigated how different mood states affect distinct subtypes of impulsivity: motor impulsivity [measured with the Stop Signal (SST) and the 5-Choice Serial Reaction Time Task (5-CSRTT)], reflection impulsivity [assessed with the Information Sampling Task (IST)], and temporal impulsivity (the Delay Discounting Questionnaire). Eighty healthy volunteers completed two experimental sessions. During session 1, which served as a baseline measure, participants underwent a neutral mood induction procedure. In Session 2, they were randomly allocated to one of the mood-induction groups (Neutral, Positive, Sad, and Anxiety). Mood state ratings included bipolar visual analogue scales on mood (positive/negative), tension/relaxation and arousal (tired/active). No group effect was found on any of the impulsivity measures.24 Correlational analyses between mood changes (following the mood manipulation procedures) and behaviour in the tasks revealed that increased relaxation was related to increased information sampling in the IST (decreased reflection impulsivity). In addition, the more active subjects reported to be, the more likely they were to choose a delayed reward over the immediate one (decreased temporal impulsivity). These results indicate that subjective changes in mood state are associated with behavioural impulsivity levels. Importantly, distinct facets of impulsivity (reflection, motor and temporal) are differently affected by changes in mood state.
Why our best theories of perception and physics undermine realism
Authors: Herzog Michael H. , Doerig Adrien
Published: September 2021

Realism about objects proposes an isomorphism between the objects of the external world and the corresponding mental representations. A candle on a table leads to the percept of this candle. Ontologically, realism locates objects between the entities of fundamental physics and the perceiver. Here, we show that under the assumption of a mind independent world of physical particles there is no space for a mind independent world of objects. The mental representations partition the physical world into classes of states, each class corresponding to one mental representation. Since there are many more physical states than representations, the mapping is not unique. Hence, different perceivers may maintain different partitions of the physical world, leading to different mind dependent representations and objects. In general, we show that if there is one fundamental ontology (fundamental physics), one cannot have any other ontology (objects) in addition. Furthermore, we show that realism is not even a desirable goal of perception. These considerations by no means favor dualism or solipsism. These ontological considerations are presented in part II. Based on neuroscience results, we show in part I that realism is not an epistemologically tenable position either.

Music therapy merupakan suatu teknik yang dapat diterapkan pada zaman modern saat ini. Sejak awal zaman awal sejarah musik sudah digunakan dalam berbagai praktek penyembuhan baik itu fisik maupun psikologis. Namun pada kenyataannya masih banyak orang khususnya generasi milenial yang enggan untuk berkonsultasi dengan konselor karena mereka memiliki persepsi bahwa konseling itu adalah sesuai yang membosankan dan caranya yang cenderung kuno. Maka dari itu music therapy dapat digunakan sebagai suatu teknik maupun media dalam konseling karena dengan music therapy proses konseling akan menjadi lebih asik, prosesnya menjadi lebih asik, klien bisa jadi lebih terbuka dan konseling dapat berjalan dengan efektif. Keberhasilan proses konseling juga ditentukan kemampuan seorang konselor dalam melihat kebutuhan kliennya sangatlah diperlukan, maka dari konseling akan berjalan jika konselornya mampu memenuhi kebutuhan klien khususnya dalam hal ini generasi milenial.
Guidelines for Implementing and Adapting Evidence-based Interventions with Marginalized Youth in Schools
Authors: Phan Mary L. , Renshaw Tyler L
Published: September 2021

With growing diversity within the US population and notable barriers to accessing behavioral health care, marginalized youth are placed at risk for developing psychosocial and mental health problems. Promoting evidence-based interventions (EBIs) through school-based mental health services may improve accessibility and quality of care for marginalized youth facing mental health disparities. Culturally sensitive interventions (CSIs) may further improve engagement with and effectiveness of EBIs with marginalized youth. In this paper, we provide guidelines for advancing CSIs when implementing and adapting EBIs with marginalized youth in schools. First, we emphasize inclusive strategies for advancing CSIs with marginalized youth in schools, focusing on anti-racist adaptations to interventions and using a community-based participatory research approach when implementing EBIs. Following, we discuss techniques for tailoring CSIs to more effectively support marginalized youth and their families with school-based prevention and treatment. Specifically, we recommend using the ASPIRE framework as a guide to promote equitable implementation as well as key strategies for engaging marginalized youth and their families with school-based EBIs. Ultimately, we offer these guidelines to address disparities and inform more equitable practice in youth mental health care—and to motivate future studies advancing culturally responsive mental health care with marginalized youth in schools.
Caryā of Padasādhana – A Vajrayāna Ritual
Authors: Shrestha Arun
Published: September 2021

Padasādhana ritual or caryā is an alphabet of vajrayāna religion represented by twenty eight caryāgīti forming a major structure of the ritual performed. All the caryāgīti enacted during the ceremony is a climbing of steps one by one culminating in vajrapada. Construction of maņđala, utterance of mantra and formation of mudra in course of worships are the pillars on which edifice of salvation is built. All the worships are based on maņđala, mudra and mantra. What transpires for spiritual emancipation is through gītī or song and nŗtya or dance which is meant for visualization and ultimate realization of the set goal of the vajrayāna religion that is Buddhahood or Nirvāņa.
Arts and Culture in Building and Sustaining Peace
Authors: Bista Binod P.
Published: September 2021

Peace, harmony and development are essential conditions for any society, developed or developing, to progress. The 2011 World Development Report revealed that growing recognition of the link between social services, conflict and peace has helped in inclusion of social services’ provision in peace agreements. A report from ‘Policy Link’ gives equitable development as the key to peace. Music plays a great role in building peace in conflict situations, so does religion, media, performance, theatre. For achieving peaceful conditions there is a need to strike a balance between two extremes including inner and outer peace. Salzburg Global Seminar (2014) focused on using soft power, especially arts and culture, since cultural engagement helps transform perceptions. Case studies referred to in this write up provide sufficient evidence of the high usefulness of arts and culture in every phase of conflict. A detailed portfolio of case studies covering seven countries including Nepal of Asia describes the importance of ‘narratives’ and ‘story telling’, preservation of historical artifacts, photographs etc. for building peace mostly in post conflict stage. The researchers were of the view that the affected persons or beneficiaries needed to be involved right from the beginning of a peace project. British Council’s publication named ‘The Art of Peace’ emphasizes on the importance of local actors’ engagement as well as arts and cultural programs in linking culture, security and development. A project launched by the World Bank and the United Nations, entitled pathways to peace, offered guiding principles, namely, target institutional failure responsible for conflict, to be of inclusive nature, and form sustainable overtime character. Arts and Culture have a distinct place in resolving conflict thus it deserves adequate government support and a networking with other actors such as local municipalities, societies and groups.
Developing Trends of Music in the Vedic and Mythological Eras
Authors: Pokharel Ramesh
Published: September 2021

The Vedas are religious texts which inform the religion of Hinduism also known as Sanatan Dharma; meaning eternal order or eternal Path. The Vedic – mythological period is considered to be the golden era in the history of world literature. Not only did the philosophy of the age reach a new pinnacle; but even aspects of music, art, culture, literature, sculpture, religion, and spiritualism were extended to their highest point. Amongst these cultural instruments, Music represents vocal and instrumental sounds combined in such a way as to produce beauty of form, harmony and expression of emotions. During this era music – vocal and instrumental were held in high respect in society. Music had both ritual and secular aspects. Sāmaveda is considered as the root of Vedic music as well as the root of today's south Asian classical music. Sāmagāna was considered as the sound of inspiration for the people of that age. This paper attempts to discuss the musical situations in Vedic and Mythological periods regarding its origin, development, extension and practices in ancient south-eastern i.e. Hindu civilization. The paper also points out why the need and importance of Vedic music in present day society is much more; especially in regards to the adoption of lessons and ethics from Sanatan Hinduism.

In this work, we proposed to combine oxalic acid and ferric ions in very low concentrations to create new, economic, and effective homogeneous photo-Fenton catalytic systems for the degradation of methylene blue. The effects of ferric concentration, H2C2O4 concentration, pH, and tert-butanol on the catalytic activity were also investigated. According to the experimental results, Fe3+ ions exhibited impressive catalytic performances in the presence of H2C2O4 at concentrations below type B (5.0 mg.l–1) from the Vietnam National Technical Regulation on Industrial Wastewater. Specifically, a ferric concentration of 3.0 mg.l–1, H2C2O4 concentration of 10–3 mol.l–1, and pH value of 3 were found to be the best conditions for MB degradation under UVA light. Furthermore, owing to a very low concentration of ferric ions, iron sludge formation can be avoided after wastewater treatment, which makes the photo-Fenton process suitable for practical applications.

Pantoprazole is a first-line proton pump inhibitor drug for the treatment of gastric acid secretion disorders that is known to have minimal side effects and drug interactions. To improve its stability in gastric acid, delayed-release microspheres containing pantoprazole was prepared by emulsification-solvent evaporation using a polymer-containing mixture of hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) and ethyl cellulose (EC), which was then coated by alginate and EudragitL100. The morphological characteristics of the microspheres were examined by SEM, the particle size distribution inferred by laser diffraction, and the physical state of drug substance was measured by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and in vitro drug release. The three formulations of microspheres chosen for this study had an average size of 100 μm. The dissolution profile showed less than 10% of the drug was released after 120 min in 0.1-M HCl and more than 75% of drug was released after 45 min in a phosphate buffer with a pH of 6.8.

In this study, electrolysis using graphite electrodes was applied to treat wastewater generated from a COD analysis procedure (referred to as COD wastewater). COD wastewater containing high concentrations of H2SO4, Hg2+, and Cr2O72- salts were collected and then treated by electrolysis with graphite electrodes in a lab-scale experiment. The results showed that the electrolysis process was not affected by the electrode’s distance or area. The most efficient treatment for all three metals was achieved at a current value of 31.58 mA, which corresponds to a current density of 1.974 mA/cm2 under a voltage of 3 V, 8-h electrolysis time, wastewater pH<1, electrode distance of 4 cm, and electrode area of 16 cm2. Under these conditions, the concentrations of heavy metals after treatment were 1170.17 mg/l for Hg, 871.20 mg/l for Ag, and 56.3 mg/l for Cr. The treatment efficiencies were 48.15, 66.94, and 50.76%, for Hg, Ag, and Cr, respectively. While this technology is simple, low cost, and achieves a relatively high efficiency, after treatment the COD wastewater still carried a high concentration of heavy metals that exceeded the permissible standards. Therefore, it is necessary to have a further treatment method in place to completely eliminate the heavy metals remaining in wastewater, as well as to recycle and reuse acidic components from wastewater and to treat them up to environmental standards before discharge. In conclusion, electrolysis with graphite electrodes can be applied in practice to treat other sources of wastewater contaminated by heavy metals with low emissions.
The Cinematographic Refrain: Memory and Repetition in the Films of Hong Sang-soo and Apichatpong Weerasethakul
Authors: Molina Barea María del Carmen
Published: September 2021

Le présent article analyse les liens théoriques entre Henri Bergson et Gilles Deleuze dans le but d’examiner la mémoire et la répétition dans Un jour avec, un jour sans (Hong Sang-soo, 2015) et Syndromes and a Century (Apichatpong Weerasethakul, 2006). Ce travail examine en particulier la façon dont ces deux films articulent une structure double qui épouse une répétition systématique d’images, créant ainsi un sentiment prononcé de déjà-vu. L’analyse de ce phénomène s’appuie sur le schéma bergsonien du souvenir et de l’actualisation du passé. Cet article entend mettre en lumière l’expérience du temps dans les images cinématographiques selon Deleuze, en particulier en ce qui concerne les notions de cristal-image et de refrain. Ce type d’analyse vise également à souligner l’importance pérenne de la philosophie et du cinéma deleuziens dans le cinéma non européen, ainsi qu’à contribuer à l’établissement d’un lien entre le binôme cinéma-philosophie et le bouddhisme. Toutefois, l’objectif final de l’article est d’étudier la façon dont les deux films fournissent une compréhension fondamentale de la constitution du temps par le biais de la répétition.
Remembering Genocide: The Sacred Madonna and Narrative Closure in Atom Egoyan’s Ararat
Authors: Aghasi Maya
Published: September 2021

Cette étude examine le cadre épistémologique d’ Ararat (Atom Egoyan, 2002) afin de comprendre le génocide arménien. Confronté à une demande de spectacle sensationnel et à l’impossibilité de le visualiser, le film Ararat montre comment narrativiser les traumatismes persistants de ce passé. L’article montre la façon dont ce film utilise la famille comme structure narrative, avec l’image sacrée de la Madone et de l’Enfant en son centre, afin d’articuler les effets moins spectaculaires, et silencieux du traumatisme historique. Traquant des « actions de désir » et leurs moments de catharsis, l’article tente de montrer qu’en renonçant au spectacle sensationnel, le film met en lumière la mélancolie de « sans avenir » produite par une postmémoire de génocide. En mettant en avant-plan l’affiliation étroite de Celia avec la famille, l’article soutient que sa relation tenue fait d’elle un personnage central dans l’articulation et la survie de la mémoire du génocide. Ainsi, l’esthétique postmoderne du film permet de traiter des « outsiders » dans son défi de reconnaissance du génocide arménien.
Identifying Effective and Successful Teaching Strategies Using the PERIA Model
Authors: M. Zapalska Alina , Waid Alex , McGurer Melinda , Wingrove-Haugland Erik
Published: September 2021

The purpose of this paper is to outline effective strategies that increase student learning and stimulate the development of reflective thinking in undergraduate courses. Specifically, it shows that class activities using the PERIA model (Preparation, Experience, Reflection, Integration, and Application) can increase student learning in a variety of technical and non-technical courses. The first example illustrates the use of games and simulations to stimulate and encourage reflective learning in an economics course where students discuss, reflect, practice and apply what they learned from the simulation. The second technique illustrates cooperative learning using small group discussions, case studies, and brief presentations in the context of a discussion-oriented moral philosophy class. The third example uses a Nearpod application in an active, learner-centered Spanish classroom to encourage metalinguistic discussion, communicative uses of language, and even intercultural comparisons. The final example demonstrates how a mathematics course, historically dependent upon lecture, can use consulting projects and a cyclical approach to the PERIA process to increase student learning.
The Making of Relatives: Creating a home away from Home for American Indian Pre-Service Teachers at a Predominantly White Institution
Authors: Carjuzaa Jioanna , Mendoza Bill , Bradley Terry
Published: September 2021

Despite the many retention models in place to support American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) students’ academic success within Predominantly White Institutions (PWIs) of higher learning, AI/AN student persistence and degree completion continues to be in a state of crisis. Here we highlight the factors that enhance or diminish persistence and describe culturally congruent mentoring approaches. In this article we are focusing on the extraordinary group of American Indian achievers who are members of the Society of INdigenous Educators (SINE) and who, against tremendous odds, persisted and graduated from their teacher preparation program at a land grant institution in the western United States. The SINE mentoring program was created to recruit, retain, graduate, place and provide ongoing support to these pre-service teachers. As is, the status quo at PWIs falls short at best, and in many circumstances diminishes AI/AN students’ chances for persistence and completion. By embracing the concept of creating a secondary home away from Home, where students in college have the social, and academic supports necessary, we have conceptualized and developed a culturally congruent, discipline-specific mentoring program. As key advocates, faculty mentors need a repertoire of knowledge and capacities to support novices’ induction into teaching, and to help students navigate institutional, departmental, and programmatic requirements in the university context by developing a constellation of supporters. Given only .4 % of faculty on college campuses are AI/AN, it is unlikely that AI/AN students will have an AI/AN faculty mentor in the leadership position of their culturally congruent, discipline-specific mentoring group. This being the case, we identify specific attributes that we recommend for selecting a faculty mentor to serve AI/AN students.
Combating the Stress of an Urgent Move to Remote Learning Caused by the COVID Pandemic
Authors: M. Zapalska Alina , LaMonica Christopher , Hart Stephen
Published: September 2021

Remote learning became the primary venue for university education throughout the world during the COVID-19 pandemic. While some academic institutions already had remote learning mechanisms in place by design, many higher education institutions – along with faculty and students – had to adapt to virtual or online education for the first time, while school was in session, in spring 2020. The continued effort to improve on-line pedagogy during the 2020-21 academic year suggests new pedagogical norms are now being established, with longer term implications for educators and students alike. In this paper, the authors explore different technologies used in the “classroom” and observed impacts on teaching effectiveness, particularly as they relate to an undergraduate economics course. The authors find that while it is challenging to replicate the in-person class experience, basic economics courses can be effectively taught in a remove environment by leveraging technology.
Observations of Thoracic Neuromuscular Oscillation Subsequent to Thoracic Pathology
Authors: Jim Lysander , McGill Stuart
Published: September 2021

In this paper we propose that a tremor occurring over a thoracic myotomal region as representative of a motor manifestation of thoracic radicular injury. We term this process thoracic neuromuscular oscillation. It is characterized by synchronous firing of the unilateral oblique muscles at one or more adjacent thoracic myotomal distributions at a frequency of 8 to 10 Hz. Six cases of observed regular continuous abdominal wall muscular tremor occurring after traumatic thoracic spine pathology are presented. These cases were drawn retrospectively from patient files obtained over 20 years. We refer to this tremor, measured to be 8–10 Hz, as thoracic neuromuscular oscillation. The neuromuscular oscillation was influenced by mechanical forces, specifically spine loading in either a bending or compressive mode. In some cases, cervical position modulated the tremor. Other examples of thoracic spine pathology that occurred comorbid to thoracic neuromuscular oscillation are noted.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on neurology in Japan, by analyzing data on the number of neurological patients at our hospital in Tokyo.Material and Methods: We counted the number of inpatients and outpatients per month; from January 2018 to September 2020. We defined the data from April 2020 to May 2020, as the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, and that from July 2020 to September 2020, as the second wave. The data from each wave were compared to those in the same period within the previous 2 years. We also analyzed other data; including, inpatients with stroke, outpatients with Parkinson’s disease, and outpatients with epilepsy.Results: In the first wave, the overall number of inpatients and outpatients greatly decreased; however, the number of inpatients with stroke increased. The ratio of outpatients with Parkinson’s disease, or outpatients with epilepsy to total outpatients also increased. In the second wave, the overall number of inpatients markedly increased, while that of outpatients slightly decreased.Conclusion: All Japanese general hospitals were greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic; especially in the first wave, even if the hospitals did not have in-hospital COVID-19 infection, or were not designated for COVID-19. Three factors; i.e. governmental, hospital, and patient factors, could affect the number of neurological patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. The numerical data reflecting the patients’ behavior might provide suggestions for addressing issues during other pandemics in the future.
Retrospective Study of Nerve Injury and Pedicle Screw Breach after Pedicle Screw Fixation with Intraoperative Triggered Electromyography Monitoring
Authors: Niljianskul Nattawut , Phoominaonin I-sorn
Published: September 2021

Objective: To evaluate the incidence of nerve injury and pedicle breach after pedicle screw fixation (PSF) with intraoperative triggered electromyography (tEMG) monitoring.Material and Methods: All patients who underwent PSF with intraoperative tEMG at Vajira Hospital between October 2018 and March 2020 were included. Patients with dysmorphic pedicle features, preoperative infection, or incomplete follow-up data were excluded. PSF was done with intraoperative tEMG. The stimulation threshold was recorded. Stimulation threshold <7 mA was not allowed to proceed with the procedure and required reposition of pedicle screw immediately. Post-operative nerve injury was evaluated by physical examination and computer tomography of the spine was done to detect any pedicle breaches. The sensitivity and specificity of intraoperative tEMG to detect pedicle breach were calculated. The risk factors associated with pedicle breach were analyzed.Results: The records of thirty-six patients with 278 pedicle screws were analyzed. No post-operative nerve injuries were found. The incidence of pedicle breach was 2.2%. The sensitivity and specificity were 83.0% and 91.0%, respectively. The risk factors associated with pedicle breach were degenerative disease and tumor(s) (odds ratio (OR) 3.05, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.11-8.41, p-value=0.030) and stimulation threshold 7-10 mA (OR 0.02, 95% CI 0.00-0.19, p-value< 0.001). Conclusion: PSF with intraoperative tEMG was safe for neural integrity. Intraoperative tEMG had the ability to detect pedicle breaches with fair sensitivity and high specificity. Patients with degenerative disease, tumors, or stimulation threshold less than 11 mA had a higher risk of pedicle breach.

Objective: To find prevalence and causes of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-avid mediastinal lymph nodes in patients with colorectal cancer in a tuberculosis-endemic area.Material and Methods: For this study we enrolled patients with colorectal cancer who underwent Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F-18 FDG PET/CT). Then, PET/CT images were reviewed by a nuclear medicine physician to find mediastinal lymph nodes with FDG uptake beyond the lung background defined as FDG-avid node. The degree of FDG uptake was graded and measured, and associated factors for presence of FDG-avid nodes were evaluated. The causes of FDG-avid nodes were also determined.Results: A total of 109 patients (64 males; mean age 61.2 years) were studied. Seventy-five patients had FDG-avid mediastinal nodes; accounting for a prevalence of 68.8% (95% CI: 59.2-77.3%). Most of the patients had multiple and bilateral nodes; with the zones of hilar and interlobar being the most common location. Age ≥50 years was the only associated factor for FDG-avid nodes (OR of 3.16, p-value=0.035). Only one out of the 32 patients (with fulfilled followup criteria) had a metastatic node.Conclusion: The prevalence of FDG-avid mediastinal nodes in colorectal cancer patients in a tuberculosis-endemic area was significantly high. Most of the lesions were benign in nature; thus, interpretation of these findings should be considered carefully to avoid false-positive results.

Origin and establishment of the introduced Cuban Blue Anole, Anolis allisoni, in Florida

Published: September 2021

In the state of Florida, USA, lizards of the genus Anolis are well represented with at least nine established non-native species and a single native species, A. carolinensis. The most recently introduced species is A. allisoni, a close relative to both the native A. carolinensis and one of the introduced species (A. porcatus). Anolis allisoni is thought to have been present in two locations in Florida since at least 2013 based on photographic evidence. Here, we analyzed mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences from these three closely related Anolis species to infer the most likely region of origin in the native range and confirm the establishment of the recent invader in Tampa, Florida. We found a single haplotype belonging to A. allisoni, which was closely related to native sequences from east-central Cuba. The most likely geographic origin is a tourist destination in the province of Sancti Spiritus, suggesting the potential for human-mediated introduction of A. allisoni to Florida. Given the evidence of hybridization within the carolinensis subgroup, the presence and establishment of the phylogenetically related and ecomorphologically similar A. allisoni may create novel opportunities for interspecific genetic exchange.

Chinese Eight Signs Prediction
Authors: Homola Stéphanie
Published: September 2021

How do ontological assumptions in divination shape the structure of the techniques and the way practitioners understand their capacity to know about human fate? In eight signs divination—a birthdate-based method used to predict the fate of an individual—human lives are said to be determined by Heaven, an infallible and impersonal force that regulates everything in the cosmos through the expansionary flow of correlative cosmology and qi transformations. Such ontological assumptions correspond to epistemological operations as can be seen in the concrete working of eight signs divination in Taiwan. Eight signs prediction relies on classificatory and reductive mathematical procedures—involving congruence and combinatorial calculations—to logically unfold a deterministic and cyclical cosmos.
Post-Hellenistic Perspectives on Divination, the Individual, and the Cosmos
Authors: Simonetti Elsa Giovanna
Published: September 2021

This article investigates the relation between ancient divinatory theories and ontological assumptions about individuals, the gods, and the cosmos through the writings of Dio Chrysostom, Epictetus, and Maximus of Tyre—three philosophers who belong to the first Roman imperial age. By exploring their works in light of recent anthropological studies, this article will discuss how different divinatory systems generate, and are embedded in, specific ontologies. All three writers analyze divination as a means to bridge contingency and transcendence and to situate individuals within the cosmos. As such, their analysis of divination relates to specific ontological systems: a mono-ontology reducible to one divinematerial principle for Epictetus, and the poly-ontology of a graduated cosmos for Dio Chrysostom and Maximus of Tyre.
Stocks of Images
Authors: Feuchtwang Stephan
Published: September 2021

What kind of knowledge is created through systems of divination? I will contend that the form of such knowledge is a type of pattern recognition—patterns that emerge in reference to a cosmology and by means of a stock of images. Divination creates knowledge of a moment and its circumstances. Reference to a sense of the encompassing world raises the issue of how any one means of divination and its outcomes is bound historically to a civilization. That will be my secondary topic of reflection. I will conclude with a discussion of worlds, recent history, speculation, and the ontology of divination in relation to the experience of uncertainty in which the object of knowledge is the momentary and its circumstances.
Leaving Care – eine Herausforderung für Pflegekinder in der Schweiz
Authors: Stohler Renate , Werner Karin , Brahmann Jessica
Published: September 2021

In der Schweiz gibt es zum Thema Leaving Care von Pflegekindern keine wissenschaftlichen Studien. Im folgenden Beitrag werden ausgewählte Ergebnisse einer ersten qualitativen Studie aus der Schweiz zu diesem Thema vorgestellt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass der Übergang in die Selbständigkeit für Pflegekinder wie auch für die Fachpersonen, die sie begleiten, anspruchsvoll ist. Deutlich wird zudem, dass Pflegekinder und Fachpersonen die Vorbereitung auf das selbständige Leben sehr unterschiedlich einschätzen und dass Pflegekinder nicht-professionellen Unterstützungsformen nach Erreichen der Volljährigkeit eine hohe Bedeutung beimessen.

With the steady increase in the connectivity of the healthcare system, new requirements and challenges are emerging. In addition to the seamless exchange of data between service providers on a national level, the local legacy data must also meet the new requirements. For this purpose, the applications used must be tested securely and sufficiently. However, the availability of suitable and realistic test data is not always given. Therefore, this study deals with the creation of test data based on real electronic health record data provided by the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC-IV) database. In addition to converting the data to the current FHIR R4, conversion to the core data sets of the German Medical Informatics Initiative was also presented and made available. The test data was generated to simulate a legacy data transfer. Moreover, four different FHIR servers were tested for performance. This study is the first step toward comparable test scenarios around shared datasets and promotes comparability among providers on a national level.
