Inflammatory prognostic markers in endometrial carcinoma: Systemic immune-inflammation index and prognostic nutritional index
Authors: Mirili Cem , Bilici Mehmet 
Published: January 2020

Objective: Systemic inflammatory response markers have prognostic significance in many cancer types. Although the prognostic values of neutrophil/lymphocyte (NLR), and platelet/lymphocyte ratios (PLR) have been shown in patients with Endometrial Cancer (EC) there is no information in the literature about systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and prognostic nutritional index (PNI). In our study, we aimed to reveal the prognostic role of SII and PNI in EC.
Material and Methods: Medical data for 101 patients with EC were reviewed retrospectively. NLR, PLR, SII and PNI values were dichotomized based on receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis (cut-off values: 3.3; 177; 1035.9, and 38, respectively). At the time of diagnosis concentrations of these four serum inflammatory markers were analyzed to determine their potential association with clinicopathologic characteristics and to assess their prognostic values via the Kaplan-Meier method and multivariate Cox regression analysis.
Results: Patients with higher NLR, PLR, SII, and lower PNI values had shorter progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) times. Higher NLR, SII, and lower PNI, were associated with FIGO stages, lymph node involvement, lymphovascular invasion, and cervical stromal invasion while additionally NLR and PNI were associated with worse ECOG performance scores (2-3) and myometrial invasion. In univariate analyses, all these four variables were prognostic for both OS and PFS, whereas in multivariate analyzes only NLR, SII and PNI were found to be independent factors for OS and PFS.
Conclusion: For the first time in the literature SII and PNI were determined to be independent prognostic factors for both OS and PFS in EC.

Published: January 2020

Objective: Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain disorder mostly seen in women, it mainly characterized by diffuse body pain accompanied by chronic fatigue and depression-like mood disorders. Its etiology still remains unknown but in some studies, fibromyalgia has been reported to be an inflammatory disease several cytokines shown to be responsible for the possible inflammatory basis of the disease. No laboratory marker is currently available to diagnose the disease. We aimed to investigate the diagnostic significance of inflammation markers in fibromyalgia, including platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte (MLR) ratio, and mean platelet volume (MPV).
Material and Methods: This retrospective and case-control study included 188 patients who were followed up and treated for fibromyalgia in physical therapy and rehabilitation outpatient clinic from 2017 through 2019 and 64 age-matched healthy controls. The PLR, NLR, MLR, MPV and vitamin D were calculated from the results of complete blood count test. The differences between the two groups were examined.
Results: The mean age, hemoglobin levels, and erythrocyte sedimentation rates were not different between the groups. In fibromyalgia group, the values of PLR (p = 0.031), NLR (p = 0.044), MLR (p = 0.023), and MPV (p = 0.013) were higher than those in control group, whereas vitamin D levels were significantly lower (p = 0.021). In multivariate regression analysis, PLR, NLR and MLR were not found to be independent predictors (p> 0.05).
Conclusion: The findings of this study reveal that NLR, MLR, PLR, and MPV are not independent markers for the diagnosis of fibromyalgia, suggesting that fibromyalgia does not appear to be an inflammatory disease.

Published: January 2020

The practice of integrating education with computers has been used worldwide because of the emerging education global trends. Computer literacy in teachers plays an important role in the integration of technology in education, which favours the Kenyan education system. This study set out to determine the teacher computer literacy level in public primary schools Ainamoi Sub-County, Kericho. A descriptive survey design was used involving 21 headteachers, 42 lower primary teachers, one ICT Expert, and CASO officer. Data were collected using structured interviews, questionnaires, and checklist observation. Purposive, simple random sampling and stratified sampling were used to sample the respondents. Data was presented in tables and percentages. The findings revealed that computer teacher training that was done in May 2015 did not cater for all the teachers in the field. This is because headteachers and only two lower primary teachers were trained from each school. It was also founded that teachers who graduated from teacher training colleges from 2009 were computer literate out of all the teachers employed by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) after 2006. There is a need for the government to arrange the seminars and in-service programs to cater to those teachers who are already in the field but are computer noncompliant. Teachers should be ready to embrace the new technology and integrate it into teaching and learning. Teachers should have more exposure to computers and ICT facilities to enhance their computer competency. A digital computer content guide should be developed by the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development to enhance consistent computer knowledge. Besides, teacher training colleges should provide KNEC examinable computer courses.

Menyusun jadwal perkuliahan dalam kegiatan akademik merupakan kegiatan rutin yang dilakukan pada tiap semester. Dalam proses penyusunan jadwal matakuliah tersebut terdapat unsur-unsur yang saling terkait, yaitu: dosen, matakuliah, SKS matakuliah, ruang kuliah dan waktu kuliah. Untuk itu, perlu melakukan optimasi jadwal perkuliahan agar perkuliahan dapat terlaksana dengan baik. Tujuan optimasi penjadwalan ini adalah bagaimana mendapatkan kombinasi terbaik dari ke-5 unsur yang telah disebutkan sebelumnya. Metode yang digunakan untuk optimasi jadwal perkuliahan menggunakan Algoritma genetika (AG). AG merupakan salah satu metode pencarian Heuristik. Algoritma ini digunakan dalam banyak kasus khususnya masalah optimasi. Untuk dapat mengoptimasi jadwal perkuliahan menggunakan AG ini, tahapan yang harus dilakukan sebagai berikut, dimulai dengan pengkonversian jadwal perkuliahan ke bentuk bilangan biner (0 dan 1) yang disebut proses pengkodean, selanjutnya menentukan populasi awal yang dilakukan secara acak (random), kemudian menentukan nilai kesesuaian (fitness) untuk kromosom terpilih, lalu melakukan persilangan (crossover), dan akhir dari proses yaitu mutasi, mutasi ini bertujuan agar kromosom yang dihasilkan merupakan kromosom yang terbaik. Kromosom ini akan dijadikan sebagai kormosom induk untuk generasi berikutnya. Hasil simulasi optimasi jadwal perkuliahan yang telah adalah sebagai berikut: nilai kesesuaian (fitness) terbaik=0,0839; variabel X1=3,8125; X2=1,9375 dan X3=13,1875.

Abstract
Cool core galaxy clusters are considered to be dynamically relaxed clusters with regular morphology and highly X-ray luminous central region. However, cool core clusters can also be sites for merging events that exhibit cold fronts in X-ray and minihalos in radio. We present recent radio/X-ray observations of the Phoenix Cluster or South Pole Telescope (SPT)-CL J2344-4243 at the redshift of z = 0.596. Using archival Chandra X-ray observations, we detect spiraling cool gas around the cluster core as well as discover two cold fronts near the core. This is perhaps the most distant galaxy cluster to date known to host cold fronts. Also, we present JVLA8 1.52 GHz observations of the minihalo, previously discovered at 610 MHz with GMRT9 observations in the center of the Phoenix galaxy cluster. The minihalo flux density at 1.52 GHz is 9.65 ± 0.97 mJy with the spectral index between 610 MHz and 1.52 GHz being −0.98 ± 0.16.10 A possible origin of these radio sources is turbulence induced by sloshing of the gas in the cluster core.
Possible Evidence for the Gluon Condensation Effect in Cosmic Positron and Gamma-Ray Spectra
Authors: Zhu Wei , Liu Peng , Ruan Jianhong , Wang Fan 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
The gluon condensation (GC) effect in cosmic proton–proton collisions at high energy is used to explain an excess in the positron spectrum observed by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer. We find that this excess may originate from the GC effect in Tycho's supernova remnant.
IRIS Observations of Short-term Variability in Moss Associated with Transient Hot Coronal Loops
Authors: Testa Paola , Polito Vanessa , Pontieu Bart De 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
We observed rapid variability (≲60 s) at the footpoints of transient, hot (∼8–10 MK) coronal loops in active region cores, with the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS). The high spatial (∼0.″33) and temporal (≲5–10 s) resolution of IRIS is often crucial for the detection of this variability. We show how, in combination with 1D RADYN loop modeling, these IRIS spectral observations of the transition region (TR) and chromosphere provide powerful diagnostics of the properties of coronal heating and energy transport (thermal conduction or nonthermal electrons, NTEs). Our simulations of nanoflare-heated loops indicate that emission in the Mg ii triplet can be used as a sensitive diagnostic for nonthermal particles. In our events, we observe a large variety of IRIS spectral properties (intensity, Doppler shifts, broadening, chromospheric/TR line ratios, Mg ii triplet emission) even for different footpoints of the same coronal events. In several events, we find spectroscopic evidence for NTEs (e.g., TR blueshifts and Mg ii triplet emission), suggesting that particle acceleration can occur even for very small magnetic reconnection events, which are generally below the detection threshold of hard X-ray instruments that provide direct detection of emission of nonthermal particles.
Toward the Detection of Relativistic Image Doubling in Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes
Authors: Nemiroff Robert J. , Kaushal Neerav 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
Cosmic gamma-ray photons incident on the upper atmosphere create air showers that move to the Earth’s surface with superluminal speed, relative to the air. Even though many of these air showers remain superluminal all along their trajectories, the shower’s velocity component toward a single Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope (IACT) may drop from superluminal to subluminal. When this happens, an IACT that is able to resolve the air shower both in time and angle should be able to document an unusual optical effect known as relativistic image doubling (RID). The logic of RID is that the shower appears to precede its own Cherenkov radiation when its speed component toward the IACT is superluminal, but appears to trail its own Cherenkov radiation when its speed component toward the IACT is subluminal. The result is that the IACT will see the shower start not at the top of the atmosphere but in the middle—at the point along the shower’s path where its radial velocity component drops to subluminal. Images of the shower would then be seen by the IACT to go both up and down simultaneously. A simple simulation demonstrating this effect is presented. Clear identification of RID would confirm in the atmosphere a novel optical imaging effect caused not by lenses but solely by relativistic kinematics, and may aid in the accuracy of path and speed reconstructions of the relativistic air shower.
Clusters of Galaxies Masquerading as X-Ray Quasars

Abstract
Inspired by the discovery of the Phoenix cluster by the South Pole Telescope team, we initiated a search for other massive clusters of galaxies missing from the standard X-ray catalogs. We began by identifying 25 cluster candidates not included in the Meta-Catalog of X-ray Clusters of galaxies cluster compilation through cross-identification of the central galaxies of optically identified clusters in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey GMBCG catalog with bright X-ray sources in the ROSAT Bright Source Catalog. Those candidates were mostly unidentified or previously classified as X-ray active galactic nucleus (AGN). We analyzed brief Chandra X-ray Observatory observations of 14 of these X-ray sources and found that eight are X-ray luminous clusters of galaxies, only one showing evidence for a central X-ray point source. The remaining six candidates turned out to be point-source dominated, with faint detections or upper limits on any extended emission. We were not able to rule out the presence of extended X-ray emission from any of the point sources. The levels of extended emission around the six point sources are consistent with expectations based on optical richness, but could also be contaminated by scattered X-ray light from the central point source or extended nonthermal emission from possible radio lobes. We characterize the extended components of each of the well-detected cluster sources, finding that six of the eight X-ray clusters are consistent with being compact cool-core clusters. One of the newly identified low-luminosity X-ray clusters may have had an X-ray-luminous AGN 20 yr prior to the recent Chandra observations, based on the 4σ difference between its Chandra and ROSAT fluxes.
